Late night comedians make fun of Rand Paul for refusing vaccine (is this supposed to be funny?)
NY Times ^ | May 25 | By Trish Bendix

Posted on 05/25/2021 5:42:14 AM PDT by RandFan

Stephen Colbert announced on his show that it would return to the Ed Sullivan Theater next month. The audience will be fully vaccinated, he said, so that means at least one U.S. senator will not be welcome: Rand Paul. Colbert said that Paul had “Randsplained” his decision not to be vaccinated, citing his “natural immunity” after contracting Covid-19.

“Senator Paul has been a bit of a skeptic of how bad Covid really is, which is probably why he got Covid,” Colbert said on Monday.

Paul also said health officials needed to “prove that the vaccine is better than being infected” and producing antibodies.

“No, they don’t. They don’t have to prove that seatbelts are better than accidents, or that wearing a parachute is better than hitting the earth at terminal velocity, or that having hot spikes driven into your ears is better than listening to Rand Paul — it’s self-evident. Thankfully, most people are not Rand Paul.” — STEPHEN COLBERT

“He’s just gonna keep gelling his hair with Purell. He believes that protects him.” — JIMMY KIMMEL

“No, what he actually said is he said something to the effect of ‘I won’t get the vaccine, but I may reconsider,’ which is just the kind of decisive leadership we need right now.” — JIMMY KIMMEL

“The good news is everyone in Rand Paul’s life stays at least six feet away from him anyway.” — JIMMY KIMMEL

“Look, if you’re comfortable getting by with what your body produces on its own, then you should take off that regional theater wig of yours.” — SETH MEYERS

Just another example of just how SCREWED as a country we are.

The “TRUTH” has died.

Why should Rand Paul (of all people) get the “jab”?

HE IS IMMUNE! He HAD COVID!

The (so called “vaccines”) mess with your natural immunity.

WHY would you want to do THAT? Not to mention all the horrendous side effects including DEATH for a 99.?% survivable disease (that you are already immune to)

The world has gone COVID CRAZY!

Anyone who honestly believes a vaccine is better than naturally derived immunity is a twit. What could your immune system possibly learn from a vaccine that it did not learn from the virus itself?

Fun fact, naturally derived tcell immunity from sars cov 1 is 17yrs and counting.

So if the left wasn’t able to steal the election this “vaccine” would be the Trump vaccine and Sen. Harris came out and said she would never get it because Trump so these a-holes would say what? This cult and fetish over Covid is disgusting.

People who think these pompous morons are funny usually have mental problems. That’s been my experience.

“Say that reminds me, how’d you get that kid so darn fast? Me and Dot went in to adopt on account a’ somethin’ went wrong with my semen, and they said we had to wait five years for a healthy white baby. I said, “Healthy white baby? Five years? What else you got?” Said they got two Koreans and a negra born with his heart on the outside. It’s a crazy world.”

It’s actually 4-5 years of post Med school training. Also Ophthalmology is the hardest specialty to get into. You typically must be number 1-2 in your medical school class to be even offered a spot.

Yeah right...

Rand Paul has had COVID... I suspect he knows what it's like... also:

2. Dr. Paul earned his medical degree from Duke University School of Medicine in Durham, N.C., in 1988. After that, he completed his general surgery internship at Atlanta-based Georgia Baptist Medical Center, followed by a residency in ophthalmology at Duke University Medical Center, completing his training in 1993.

Late night programs went down hill long ago. I can only imagine the audience a conservative that was mostly politically neutral in his jokes would have. It would be refreshing to see. In the mean time, I don’t watch late night programs, just like the overwhelming, vast majority (97%) of Americans.

Comedians haven’t been funny for the past 20 years.

They are absolutely not funny. In fact, we know from the job they do that they seem to be narcissists and jealous ones at that. Dr. Paul is a medical doctor, which requires intelligence way above the cut on late night TV, to even get admitted to medical school, and then, intense training until one is about 30, to actually be able to independently treat people for disease. Go ahead and make fun and bully, boys, because your humor provokes more nausea than laughter. I know American is on the slide downward, but I still believe that most people admire those who actually do work that contributes to the overall good of our people. Dr. Rand Paul is such a person.

Late night comedians are nothing more than mouthpieces and shills for the deep state. Jimmy Kimmel admitted to accepting talking points from Chuck Schumer for his show.

Kind of a misnomer to call them comedians since they are not funny.

There are no real comedians out there anymore. The last real comedians are making documentaries about how they are not allowed to be funny anymore. I haven't laughed at a "comedian" for a long, long time. Even, so-called, movie comedies are not actually funny either. It seems that what they consider "funny" is actually people being cruel to one another. Stand up is basically dead.

We have raised a generation of young people who are so "woke" that nothing can be funny, because someone will be offended by it.

How I miss Robin Williams, Joan Rivers, Rodney Dangerfield, and others. The country has become a miserable place when we cannot laugh at human foibles anymore.
