3 minute video of Rand scolding some officials.
He hated it? He’s a U.S. Senator. He could have put on his big boy pants and put a stop to it.
Very unsanitary
I had to fly back then. I remember asshole flight stewards lecturing us that if we cared about humanity we’d keep our masks on, unless we were drinking coffee or eating peanuts. I’m not forgetting.
I intentionally broke the bottom strap of my mask so it just kind of hung loosely over my face to avoid harassment but let me breathe.
I’m damn near a giant, so this worked just because people are scared of me.
Amazing that Fauci hasn’t been socially distanced from us. 6ft under.
So, if he was on these flights, he is vaxxed up to his gills?
Your circus. Your monkeys.
Well I hated having some punk with a clipboard at the grocery store asking me about my shot status...and then when I removed my mask inside, having an employee chase me down and demanding I put it on.
The insanity is that many people did it instead of telling them to pound sand.
It was nuts!
I didn’t forget and I quit flying and haven’t gone back.
Still doesn’t excuse all the bad stuff Rand does.
This guy is a nutcase. Even though he’s an ophthalmologist, one would think that his training would have included information about airborne transmissible diseases, especially since the eyes are a primary entry point for airborne pathogens. But no, he just spouts misinformation.
I am saddened that so much medical misinformation has been wrapped up in a package to appeal to conservatives. The people behind this do NOT like conservatives. Their goal is to undermine the conservative movement (along with getting more of us to die off).
I would hope that at some point, Rand Paul is replaced with a real conservative who actually understands the scientific method and how public health functions.
Peanuts? I’ve not encountered peanuts on a airplane in a very long time.
Yeah, you ate a peanut, put the mask back on, took it off, ate a peanut, and the viruses were trained to stay in your mouth without flying into the air and into another person’s nose.
But he never spoke up about all of Congress exempting themselves and their staffs from the Covid mandates that were enabled by their legislation.
he can run his mouth just like anyone else, but few in governance & medicine have the moral credibility to opine on this definitively unmitigated disaster
Flying was and is still a great way to get sick

I despise many elected officials. In NYS Andy Cuomo forced us to buy a "meal" which amounted to a bag of chips or a Cuomo meatball for $5 every time you walked up to an outdoor bar to get a draft beer during covid. Beyond ridiculous, meglomaniacs.
