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

  1. Scientist: We can’t send an astronaut to the sun. He’ll burn.

    Republican: What if we send him at night?

    1. Democrat- I have been vaccinated but I still want to Stay 6 feet away and wear 2 masks.

      Republican- That’s cuz ur an idiot…

      Science-based studies agree with Republicans

      FAUCI loses his fame without the coronavirus

    2. Scientist- We can’t send an astronaut to the sun, he’ll burn
      Liberal- What if he wears a suit?
      Scientist- made of what?
      Liberal- handkerchiefs

    3. Johnny English, I am going to quote this and give you full credit, perfectly illustrates the dim view of science that the GOP pretends to understand.

    1. @MITandMe NotIvy thanks for the info-posts. Keep ’em coming baby. Keep ’em coming. They definitely have the potential to wake some up, for sure. 🙂

    2. gymkhanadog No they aren’t. Even according to the most biased, cherry picked and ultimately just plain false government numbers, they’ve done way better than the average lockdown states, even though they have the largest elderly population. The only people who are seriously at risk from this flu virus.
      Florida real estate is turned up to 11 right now because of all the people trying to escape the unscientific and unnecessary fascism and poverty and sickness that lockdowns bring.
      Even the liberal NBA had to move there to actually exist.

    1. @John Dough I’m not in the habit of watching CNN, multiple channels ran this, I just happened to click on this one.

    2. @Brian F Olsen obviously I would like to remain anonymous. If that makes me a troll so be it.

      Only a mindless person would wear 2 masks after being vaccinated.

  2. Rand wants a specific study? Pick any done on the common flu; “You got sick last year, you are you getting sick this year?”

    1. @Kristina Ray It really seems like you’re being obtuse here. Early on a lot of people dismissed it as “just a flu,” but it was more transmissible and more deadly than the flu. They were trying to downplay it, and they were comparing transmissibility and mortality rates.

      OP is comparing how the two mutate. It’s an entirely different discussion.

    2. Oh, so you’re allowed to compare COVID to the flu when it’s convenient for you, but everyone else is demonized for doing so? Sorry, the panel is judges can’t accept your answer.

    3. @Robert Dunham It was compared to the Flu when COVID had less deaths annually than the flu to downplay the seriousness of the virus. Completely different from comparing vaccination protocols that may be similar in the future since they both mutate like a virus? Did you skip a class in school or something

    4. @helloigo COVID still has less deaths annually than the flu when you only count COVID deaths. Very few people die with complications of COVID. A massive part of the number put forward in the media are people who died WITH antibodies matching a coronavirus (a nonspecific test that returns positive for colds and flus). The numbers are on the CDC website. Don’t take my word for it. You can go read them for yourself. I’m guessing you’ve never actually looked for yourself. Most people haven’t.

    1. SO WHAT PART of this Elf boy BS isn’t clear (NOT TO MENTION WTH HAPPENED TO “FLU” DEATHS???) – CDC WEBSITE clearly states NO VIRUS EVER IDENTIFIED DESPITE THIS LABEL COVID 19 (which will just be covid 20 21 22 23 as time progresses) so we have a NONEXISTENT ISSUE TO WHICH YOU APPLY A “VACCINE” THAT CLEARLY SAYS “NOT A CURE” and further says it is NOT TESTED NOT AT ALL PROVEN SAFE AND MAY TURN YOU INTO A ZOMBIE and PEOPLE ARE DROPPING LIKE FLIES FROM THE POISON IN VACCINE

    2. @Candace Carle not sure why you brought her up I’m by far no fan of her myself.I know as I as most of us are so dam tired of covid and everything that comes along with it.We are sick of covid but it’s not sick of us,most of us are free to wear a mask or not until you’re on someone else’s property where its mandated,do I believe the Dr have been 100 with us on everything no,but neither has Paul.So politicians Drs hired by politicians I dont trust,but if he is lieing I I adlease want to hear the lies so I can rebuttal and call him on it.

    3. @George A masks protect the wearer. Why would cancer pts wear one before the pandemic to go out in stores???? To protect themselves from germs. Why do medical staff wear PPE when going into a pts room on isolation??? To protect themselves. It works both ways always has been used as protection or a barrier for the wearer.

  3. Does he think that if he keeps rolling the dice he will eventually score against Fauci and not look like the idiot he has looked like on every occasion up to this???

    1. @Robert Dunham I can only go as far as saying that Rand was slightly less ridiculous than usual in his preparation but still not seeing the full picture which Fauci does. This astonishing politicization of a disease by Trump with the result that an entire political party seeks to minimize and undermine it is horrifying to the rest of the world

    2. @geronimo That’s the problem. Fauci doesn’t see anything. That’s why his opinion changes every time he’s asked a question despite the fact that the facts aren’t changing at all.

    3. @Robert Dunham okay, respectfully disagree with you. There’s a big republican/fox media machine out there trashing Fauci so that Trump doesn’t look so bad. Maybe you are influenced by it

    4. Actually, time and again Fauci has proven himself to be a liar and lacking ANY scientific evidence or shred of proof at all. Ironically the left, who claims to be “science based”, are anything but scientific – as they completely avoid the proof. Fauci KNOWS he’s lacking in the current information about the virus, and yet he continues to provide dodgy answers and unproven statements.
      Rand Paul is asking for “What studies” prove what Fauci is pushing, and Fauci CLAIMS WE DON’T HAVE A PREVALENT VARIANT! Fauci has NO proof at all, and yet denies the proof that actually exists!

      It’s clear that Fauci wasn’t prepared for the COVID pandemic at all, and even after a year, still isn’t. He even claims masks “aren’t theater”, but disagrees with all the stuiies that show it!

    5. @Simply Wonderful It’s clear that everybody in America knows better than their healthcare professionals, who should sit at home and let people like yourself manage the pandemic.
      In Europe we have many debates and disagreements but we overall trust and get behind our professionals and don’t make a political football out of a disease

  4. I love how we must reward people with not having to use a mask to make getting vaccinated more appealing.

  5. The woman behind the senator… HAS “stockings” on her feet… STOCKINGS ARE THE WORST INVENTION EVER BC U CAN ONLY WEAR THEM ONCE AND THEY MAKE YOUR FEET STINK…!

  6. Any politician that puts his political aspirations ahead of science-backed public health imperatives is a mass murderer.

  7. In my opinion Dr. Fauci is paid to constantly “move the goal post” because he’s paid to do so by the democrats to control people. I don’t care if people wear masks or fear Covid however; I do have a problem with canceling life as we know it indefinitely so the government can further their control. Cancel school = kids are 40% failing so keep kids ignorant, close businesses = keep people poor and reliant on government, ballooning covid “statistics” = keep people scared. ALL of this then keeps people compliant thus allowing the government to control every aspect of your life without transparency.

    This 1400 that was distributed is a joke. They act as though this is a wonderful gift from them. With all the back and forth on the “Covid relief bill” every tax paying American could have had upwards of 40,000. Instead they put BS in the bill that has ZERO to do with any relief to Americans.

  8. Rand Paul, I didn’t realize that one flu shot could protect me for the rest of my life. Duh! Masks are uncomfortable but isn’t it better to be safe than sorry? I know so many people who passed from covid so fast that they didn’t get a chance to regret not wearing a mask. Not to mention the ones who barely survived covid, but are so paranoid now that they refuse to take off their mask even when alone. Should we be listening to the politicians about our health and ignore the warnings of the scientists? Rand Paul, are you paying attention to the numbers of hospitalizations still going up in many of our states, likely the ones that forego wearing masks? What about those more deadly variants we now have? Are you not concerned about this?You need to move that masking tape over your eyes to your mouth.

  9. I haven’t gotten covid and I’ve tried. Doesn’t seem so bad. Ya it’s real but not what made out to be.

  10. “Dr. Grouchie” please go home and use your Geritol and prep. “H” before start advocate vaccines made by Dr. Jackle & Poison
