Sen. Rand Paul (R-Ky.) and infectious disease expert Dr. Anthony Fauci clashed over whether people need to continue wearing masks due to the CCP virus.
“You’re telling everyone to wear a mask,” Paul said. “If we’re not spreading the infection, isn’t it just theater? You have the vaccine and you’re wearing two masks, isn’t that theater?”
Fauci then accused Paul of engaging in “theater” and stated that emerging COVID-19 variants are a good reason “for a mask.”
“You’re making policy based on conjecture,” Paul said, saying that Fauci wants people to wear masks “for another couple of years.”
In recent weeks, Fauci has faced increasing criticism for making predictions about the virus that ultimately didn’t materialize while also repeatedly issuing warnings about the CCP virus spreading due to a relaxation in lockdowns.
“You’ve been vaccinated and you parade around in two masks for show,” Paul told Fauci. “If you already have immunity, you’re wearing a mask to give comfort to others. You’re not wearing a mask because of any science.”
According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), individuals who have been vaccinated are advised to still wear a mask.
Fauci responded that “masks are not theater” and he “totally disagree[s]” with Paul’s statement.
In January, Paul said during a Fox News interview that people who have been vaccinated should discard their masks.
“If you’ve had the disease or you’ve been vaccinated and you’re several weeks out of your second dose, throw your mask away and tell Dr. Fauci to take a leap because, once you have immunity, you don’t need to do this,” the Kentucky Republican said at the time.
This week, Fauci suggested that three-feet distancing between schoolchildren, rather than six feet, could be good enough following a study that was published last week.
The CDC stated in updated guidance on March 8 that fully vaccinated people don’t have to wear a mask or physically distance themselves from others who are also fully vaccinated or those who are unvaccinated but “are at low risk for severe COVID-19 disease.”
“There are some activities that fully vaccinated people can begin to resume now in their own homes,” CDC Director Rochelle P. Walensky said in a press release.
“Taking steps towards relaxing certain measures for vaccinated persons may help improve COVID-19 vaccine acceptance and uptake.”

F U Faux See.
Fauici brought a pen knife to gun fight. If there is justice in this world, Fauci will become latest cancel culture victim.
I canceled him and Dr. Richard (Dickless) aka “Rachel” Levine many moons ago.
Richard is his name, and I will never forget that he took his mom out of her nursing home but let thousands die who weren’t afforded the “same choice”.
Fauxchi has no credibility. Paul should have punched him in his face diaper.
In a just world, Dr. Fraud would be in Prison!
Could some Kentucky freeper PLEASE call the good Senator and ask him to ask Dr. Fraud about “Gain of Function”???
And take HerrDr FauxiGates, communist Tedros Ghebreysus, Klaus Schwab/Zuckface/nazi uniform Soros with you.
sorry, left out demon of death Cuomo ( and Whitmer, Inslee , et al., all those blues that used the CommunistChina virus to get rid of ‘orange man bad’.
Murderers.
Our family just ignores this flu thingy and laugh at the robots who have succumbed to the nanny state wearing masks all the time. The only thing the mask is good for is preventing the Stepfords from using foul language and throwing stuff at you.
Nobody was wearing a mask when I stopped for gas yesterday. Employee, customers, etc. Nobody said a word when I walked in and waited without a mask at my local barber shop today. This is just about over except for the tantrums of the Chicom flu addicts.
Where did Sen. Paul get the idea that first generation (my term) COVID-19 vaccines stop the spread of the virus? (Did he get wires crossed with seasonal flu vaccines like I did.)
Although Dr. Fauci has expressed hope that vaccines will eventually prove to help stop spread of virus, he said that the main purpose of first COVID-19 vaccines is to prevent victims from needing ICU (my words) last year.
Fauci: vaccine only prevents symptoms, doesnât block the virus (10.26.20)
Insights welcome.
Maybe so.
Wasn't the point of "15 days to flatten the curve" (one year ago!) to do the same thing...prevent ICU overload?
Exactly... well done.
Rand Paul actually practiced medicine. I believe that Fauxi has been a bureaucrat and political hack most of his life.
Fauci and the entire deep state should be hung, including Obama, Pelosi Gates Soros-all of the demons who planned this and care nothing for human life when they need to further their agendas. But when have communists and globalists ever cared? They are in it for power, complete control and money.
They unleashed a bioweapon to further their agendas in cahoots with the CCP. If the US doesn’t hang them, the CCP will when they are done using them.
Played on tonights Levin
Fauci doesn’t care about the illegals entering the U.S.
