Rand Paul challenges Dr. Fauci (again). Watch his response

Republican Senator Rand Paul challenged Dr. Fauci on why Americans should wear masks after being vaccinated during a Senate hearing. Dr. Fauci responded that wearing masks after vaccination would be a good practice considering the unknown potential of Covid-19 variants spreading in communities.

@@gordonshumway6128 Well, asking them in a public forum specifically held to get answers to those questions would generally mean you were looking for expert opinion. If Mr. Paul’s logic was so sound that he didn’t need another opinion, asking the question was for all intents and purposes, “just theatre”. But on a more serious note and as a scientist myself, making claims about immunity from a virus based on a set of experiments done only in vitro is almost always a recipe for disaster. There is a reason that in vitro studies are typically just used as proof of concept. With the exception of (some) organoids that have been developed, monolayers of cells are simply not capable of recapitulating the complexities of a human system. That becomes even more difficult when you start looking at immune responses that vary widely between different tissues.

@@JamesBlackman13 It most certainly was "just theatre". I don't refute that remark at all. Masks really aren't the effective when you compare the fibers in the mask itself to the microscopic size of the virus. I'm of the belief that 2 pieces of fabric over the mouth as sufficient protection is a fallacy. In fact, once could argue the constant adjusting of a mask with a person's hands could make a person more at risk after touching services. We just need to take care of the seniors and people with existing medical conditions. Make sure they take every precaution as to not contract the virus. Those of us who are healthy adults can't just put the world on pause for the rest of our lives in fear of a flu. I'm not wearing a mask for the rest of my life.

Nations who took the virus seriously, locked down and wore masks came out alright while the nations who didn’t lost a lot of people. The GOP made masks and the virus a political issue because they didn’t want a recession as it would mean they’d lose the white house, which they did. Dug their heads in the sand and tried to press on until there was too much blood on the ground that they had to eventually deal with it at which point it was too late. Rand Paul and other GOP act like everyone doesn’t have to get a different FLU vaccine every year due to variants. Viruses MUTATE. Everyone knows that if they pay even a little attention. COVID has and continues to mutate. The GOP simply doesn’t care because they’ve already chosen which side of the issue they are gonna be on, it’s too late to go back. Plus it matches with their economic interests.

[@billgordon7583]

Anti-mask is the most politically important movement in 250 years. WW1 and WW2 pale in comparison. Millions of patriotic Americans are being traumatized daily by being asked to wear a mask.

Doesn't the Constitution say that masks are 'cool for Halloween, but not cool for common sense safety'. I forget which clause it is

[@rebeccacarlson9166]

I've considered what Rand Paul is saying. This is what I understand from his questioning: Rand Paul doesn't want to talk about the many variants of Covid-19 that are quickly dominating the USA and the rest of the world. He wants people who've already had the original Covid-19 infection & the vaccinated people who are only vaccinated against the original Covid-19 infection to be able to go without a mask mandate. I would agree with Rand Paul if: There weren't a shitload of other variants of Covid-19 (even more communicable/ transmissible than the original)) threatening to kill another half a million Americans. My question for you is...why would you take the advice of Rand Paul about infectious diseases over the top US Doctor/research scientist of infectious diseases, Dr. Fauci? Why is Rand Paul ignoring the fact that more transmissible Covid-19 variants are sweeping our country?

Republicans often interrupt or gish gallop while debating. Ben Shapiro is a popular conservative who uses this technique. The goal is to project strength to the audience rather than find the truth of the matter. In the eyes of an onlooker, who might not necessarily know the intricacies, details, or nuances of the subject matter, they can appear to win the argument despite being factually incorrect. In other words, Fauci and Rand both know that Rand is a complete idiot, but all that matters is that his supporters and those who are watching see him as the aggressor. In this sense, he can win the debate while spewing complete nonsense. Think back to Trump during the first presidential debate with Biden last year.

We know that there are other strains. Fauci gave examples of those strains: one in New York City, and two in California. The fact that those variant strains aren't prevalent yet doesn't mean that they will remain that way. After all, we saw how quickly the original strain became prevalent last year.

How many times does Fauci need to school Rand Paul.

[@animebro14]

He didn't school rand beyond going "muh variants"

[@cristiep7377]

Apparently at least once more, probably more still after this. Paul usually quotes right wing quack docs too.

My daughter had it 2x, 2800 ppl in a study is very small.

It’s hopeless. It’s Rand‘s personal theater...

[@b.t.2795]

Rand Paul knows he's blowing hot air to the gullible. He also knows Italy and Germany are under their third wave of the virus and Italy is under lockdown.

Question to Rand: Why did Trump need to be vaccinated after already being immune due to previously having Covid

[@tbronk7996]

@Alex W every damm bit of it...all about control the people

[@Wolf-wn6nk]

Because he is responsible for Warp Speed and getting a vaccine in a timeframe that you dummies thought was impossible. He took it to instill confidence in its safety and he has said so himself. Does that answer your question, dummy?

[@tbronk7996]

@@Wolf-wn6nk I agree with you, but personally I won't get the vaccine. There's no incentive to receive the vaccine. I live in a Democratic run state...Cuomo, hopefully they impeach. Dr Fauci is a Democratic puppet. So if I recieve the vaccine Fauci suggest I still wear a mask...the puppet is pushing to wear two masks. I am not taking anything they developed in less than a year

@@Wolf-wn6nk Be careful who you call names! It was a question! Do you really think that your response made since?🤕🤕🤕🤕

Trump didn’t take the vaccine he was already immune
