Sen. Rand Paul Reacts to Dr. Fauci’s Covid Diagnosis, Testimony

CLAY: Senator Rand Paul going after our good friend, Dr. Fauci.

CLAY: Senator Rand Paul joins us now. Dr. Fauci had to testify remotely because, despite four covid shots, he has tested positive for covid. Rand Paul, first of all, thanks for joining us. Second, your reaction when you found out that Dr. Fauci — who last year told everyone if they got a covid shot they would never get covid; obviously that ended up being wrong. Why should we trust anything this guy says?

SEN. PAUL: Well, I guess if he would have worn the covid goggles or maybe the covid earmuffs, the covid earmuffs —

CLAY: (laughing)

SEN. PAUL: — I think really would have protected him probably. But he had four vaccines and four masks, he just didn’t get the covid goggles.

CLAY: (laughing)

SEN. PAUL: But, no, I’m glad he’s not sick. I mean, it can be a serious disease, but I’m glad he’s not sick, but I wish he were more honest. What we found is that the vaccine was approved and is being pushed on your kids, the booster vaccine —

CLAY: (laughing)

SEN. PAUL: — and there’s no evidence that it saves any lives of kids, there’s no evidence it keeps them out of the hospital. The only evidence they presented to the committee was that your kid will make antibodies. Well, if I give your kid a hundred boosters, he’ll make antibodies or she’ll make antibodies every time. That doesn’t prove anything.

And that’s the point I was making to Fauci is, this is not evidence (chuckles) that the vaccine works. This is evidence that if you give an mRNA vaccine that causes the body to make a foreign protein, that the body will react to it and make antibodies. It says nothing about whether it saves lives and you should do the studies.

The reason they don’t do the studies is 75% of kids have already had this, many kids have been vaccinated now, but no kid is dying, no kid is going to the hospital that’s either been vaccinated or had the infection or both, and there’s no reason in the world to give them a booster, and there is evidence that the more you vaccinate kids of them getting an inflammation of the heart, called myocarditis.

BUCK: Senator Paul, it’s Buck. I want to know where you think Fauci and the Democrat-sponsored and -assisted health apparatus wants to take the vaccination campaign going into this fall. You’re talked to him today at the Senate Health Committee. They don’t sound is to me like they feel chastened at all by the failures and the poor analysis of what was gonna happen up to this point. What do you think they’re gonna do?

SEN. PAUL: It’s part of an overall philosophy of elitism. It is about control. It isn’t about this pandemic. It’s about control of everything. We’ve always known they wanted to control the economic sector, but now we know they want to control the personal sector too, the decisions that you make with going to the doctor, the medicines that you take — and they don’t think they need proof anymore.

There were some good, well-meaning people on these vaccine boards. Not many, but there was a handful. They quit. When they quit looking at science and they just started sort of going by conjecture and the seat of their pants and just mandating everything some of the good doctors quit. There was a doctor on there who said there was no way he’d give a booster to his 24-year-old male son, because the thing is there is a risk factor.

The CDC’s own data says that the risk of getting a heart inflammation after the second vaccine is about 80 out of a million. You say, well, that’s not bad. But the natural state of myocarditis not getting a vaccine’s about 2 out of a million. So there’s a 40-fold increase in myocarditis with the second vaccine. And the thing is, yeah, it’s not very common, 80 out of a million. But what if it’s your young football people or choir member or band member in high school and they get a vaccine and die from it?

The thing is it should be the parents’ choice and ability to look at the data — and what Fauci admitted today is there’s no data, absolutely zero data saying that if you give your kid a booster vaccine, a third vaccine, that it keeps them out of the hospital or keeps them from dying. Why is there no data? Because it’s not happening. Nobody — and 75% of these kids have already had covid. No kid that’s had covid and dying.

And that’s the information I asked him for: Release to the American public what is the hospitalization rate and the death rate for kids who’ve already had covid. Seventy-five percent of the kids have had covid. Does it protect ’em? And if it does, why are you pushing three vaccines on kids who have already got natural immunity?

CLAY: What do you think about some places that are demanding that people show covid vaccines for kids, right? In order to go to school, there’s lots of talk about this. To me, this is absolute insanity. I think it’s probably gonna kick up again as we get ready for fall and kids come back to school. What would you tell parents out there about requirements like these?

SEN. PAUL: Don’t submit to public health tyranny. Take your kids out of the school if you can, go to a private school, teach them at home, go to another public school. There are stories I hear every week as I travel around the country of the moms and dads coming up to me and say, “We’ve moved our kids to Florida to live with grandparents. We’ve moved our kids to another state to get away from public health tyranny,” and so don’t submit to this.

This is why we have to keep fighting. Did the lockdowns save lives? Absolutely not. We need to keep fighting because there’s gonna be another lockdown. We’re still locking down for a disease that largely Fauci would probably not know he had it except for he’s probably undergoing routine testing every day ’cause he’s seen Biden. I betcha he did that test because he goes to the White House. He hasn’t really revealed whether he has any symptoms or not. All we know is he’d had four vaccines and four masks, but we don’t know if he had any symptoms.

BUCK: Senator Paul, he should have triple masks and maybe taken the virus a little more seriously.

CLAY: (laughing)

BUCK: We appreciate joining us today, sir.

SEN. PAUL: Thanks, guys.
