Paul: "I think the reason is that with Dr. Fauci, I think his belief is that we should submit, that we’re all members of the hive, we’re all members of the collective, that submission is more important than the facts. For example, in the spring he said masks don’t matter and don’t work. ‘New England Journal of Medicine’ also said in their editorial that they’re basically a talisman, that they don’t work outside of the hospital setting, but then they changed course over time but they’re not really looking at data. We have mask mandates in dozens and dozens of states and countries and every — without fail, every time we’ve instituted a mandate, the actual incidence of the disease has risen. So there is no evidence that these mandates are working and we’re crippling the economy. So maybe we ought to reassess what we’re doing.”
The states could have avoided all this mess by being a little less forceful. If instead of a governor saying, “Thou shalt ......” if they had said, “Here is what we recommend, but it is up to various business to follow the rules. However, we really urge you to follow the suggestions.” I think compliance would be higher and people would not feel so resentful.
If Walmart or Aldi want to have a mask policy, fine.
For a moment, let’s assume the worst. Trump is cheated out of his second term, and he decides to retire from public life.
In that case I can think of no better GOP standard-bearer than Rand Paul.
I don’t think fauci has said anything that he didn’t unsay at some point.
I’m just surprised he hasn’t declared the virus “solved” now that he thinks biden has been elected.
It appears to me that Fauci is a Deep State "submitter".
Rand. Yes, definitely a contender.
If Trump is denied his rightful place in the white house, republican party is finished. MAGA party could rise from the ashes, just have to wait and see.
Rand Paul has some good idea’s. and that’s all they are, idea’s. Rand will never be president and his idea’s will remain idea’s.
Aren’t we talking about the same thing.
Flip-flops are okay, as long as you get your desired results.
Biden is the winner in the stolen election.
Fauci will retire after Trump’s Covid-19 vaccine has eliminated the virus. But, we’ll still have a bigger problem making America sick.
All roads leads to Kushner.
