Rand Paul trashes Dr. Fauci: 'He fashions himself some sort of Greek philosopher, tells you noble lies'



Rand Paul does not hold back on Fauci or President Biden

Sen. Rand Paul (R-Ky.) has been one of the few politicians who has regularly questioned Dr. Anthony Fauci's decision-making during the coronavirus pandemic. In a new interview on "The Ingraham Angle," Paul once again blasted Fauci for his public health recommendations during the COVID-19 pandemic, saying that he spreads "noble lies."



Fox News anchor Laura Ingraham asked Paul, "Senator, you have been one of the few lawmakers to directly call out Dr. Fauci's lies. Are people afraid to question him? And if so, why?"



Paul responded, "Well, it's the science — and people are afraid of, you know, scientists, and he's put on a pedestal."



"But you have to remember that his lies are noble lies, Laura. He's not telling you this because he's a mean man," the Kentucky senator continued. "He's telling you this because he feels sorry for you because you don't understand, and Americans aren't smart enough to make informed decisions. So, he fashions himself some sort of Greek philosopher. He tells you these noble lies."



Paul then tore apart Fauci for his "noble lies" about face masks.



"So, at first, he told you that all the masks don't work. But he told you that because he wanted to protect the N-95 masks, which actually in a health setting do work," Paul explained. "But then, later on, he said, all masks do work. But that's also a lie also because, really only the N-95 masks work."



"It's a compilation of lies," Paul said of Fauci. "But they're all done to protect you because he doesn't think you're smart enough to make any of these decisions on your own."



Paul then took aim at President Joe Biden for his coronavirus speech this week, where he told Americans they might be allowed to gather on Independence Day, which caused outrage online.



"Well to show you so far out of touch President Biden is, he said he's going to let us get together with two or three people from our family July 4th," Paul told Ingrham. "Has he not met anybody? Everybody is making their own decisions now. Where we are forced to comply with Dr. Fauci and his Faucisms, we do. But in private, most of us are doing what we want, when we want, and have been for a long, long time. We do try to take precautions."



Paul then questioned whether COVID-19 lockdowns helped curb the spread of coronavirus.



"You can sequentially look at the date when each mandate was passed and when it got ratcheted up," Paul said. "You can look at the incidence of the disease, and what you find is they were proportional, meaning the more mandates we got, the more disease we got."



"The mandates did not cause the disease but there is no evidence the mandate slowed down the disease at all," Paul added.



Paul then gave former President Donald Trump credit for the coronavirus vaccine rollout in "record time."



"President Trump was criticized for a lot of things, but one thing he did do was shake things up in the bureaucracy. He didn't take 'no' for an answer," Paul noted. "I think President Trump's personality actually did force the issue on the vaccine and probably helped it to get done in record time."

Peer-Reviewed Study Claims CDC Skewed CCP Virus Fatalities Upward



A little-noticed peer-reviewed study published last October by a science and public health journal claims the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) ignored federal laws and regulations when it changed how the government counts deaths from COVID-19, caused by the CCP virus, also known as the novel coronavirus.



"Based upon the complete absence of Federal Register records for 'Proposed Data Collection Submitted for Public Comment,' at no point, did the CDC inform the OMB/OIRA or allow for 60 days of public comment in the following unilateral decisions that attempted to bypass Federal oversight," the study claimed.



"We allege that the complete absence of the appropriate Federal Register records is evidence that the CDC knowingly and willingly violated the IQA & PRA. As a direct consequence of implementing the two documents below without OMB approval, there was significant inflation of COVID-19 case and fatality data," the study said.

Former FDA Chief Says Social Distancing Mandate 'Wasn't Based on Clear Science'



Former Food and Drug Administration Commissioner Scott Gottlieb said that the six-foot social distancing mandate that was employed across much of the United States and the world to deal with the CCP virus pandemic "wasn't based on clear science."



"This six-foot distancing requirement has probably been the single costliest mitigation tactic that we've employed in response to COVID ... and it really wasn't based on clear science. ... We should have re-adjudicated this much earlier," he said in an interview with CNBC.

That's understandable.....we've all had enough with restrictions.

It sounds like a good idea, in theory anyway.



Vaccine Passports May Not Be Effective in Reducing Spread of COVID-19: Experts



Experts say that relying solely on vaccine passports to allow people to engage in certain activities again is not an effective mitigation tool to reduce the spread of COVID-19, and may distract from other necessary interventions or from the message of vaccination itself.



"I think pinning all our hopes on and putting all our efforts into vaccine passports as the main solution to opening up travel might be the wrong strategy," Dr. Sarah Chan, an expert in bioethics at the Usher Institute, University of Edinburgh, told NTD's "The Nation Speaks" in a recent interview. "And if we put too much emphasis on passports as the sole strategy, I think we risk creating a false sense of security that might lead people actually to increase their personal risk behaviors," she said.



Chan said that vaccine passports may divert resources and attention from other important "structural and social interventions to address the wider effects of the pandemic such as education, mental health, and so forth."
