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

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

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

I’ll take the word of an eye surgeon over a halfa$$ed smarta$$ any day of the week.

After you graduate from medical school you take two more years of specialist training.

I respect the word of Rand Paul, MD.

Are they laughing at his death threats, perhaps they would enjoy being stalked and receive similar threats. Idiots.

No they’re not. Just the vaccine.

Doubt they would go that low but nothing surprises me Pro.

So catching covid should explain how bad it really is? What about catching the cold or the flu every year? Nobody bats an eye at those and they’ve been around for more than a century.

Sen. Paul is scaring the crap out of them. I hope he can stay strong.

I can’t wait until next year when all these marxist fools start dying off from the Fake Vaccine.

How dare anyone not get the Trump Vax. None of them explained why you have to have a vax for a disease that has a 99.5% survival rate.

Two digit IQ ‘comedians’ making fun of a physician?

Now THAT’s funny..........

And those clowns probably think AOC has a brain.

They are not comedians. What they do is not comedy. It’s political commentary with dirty words. I remember comedy. Jack Benny was a comedian. These late night pseudo-sophisticated leftist political operatives are not funny.

They are making fun of all of us. Consider the source.

I doubt their audience even knows who Rand Paul is.

Colbert, the self-styled “funnyman”, is very bitter over his sister’s loss in the election as a D for the Charleston congressional seat. He is a poor loser, just as he is a poor “comedian”.

The push to ignore and disparage antibodies obtained naturally vs those acquired via vaccine is just one more piece of madness thrown onto the Covid pile.

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

I had purchased satellite radio as I had long drives to work late at night. There were three comedy channels. The “comedians” were almost entirely political. Nothing anti- Bush, as he was president, was funny. Putting my bias aside, you could tell the joke wasn’t funny because the audience didn’t laugh. Instead they applauded. That meant they agreed, but whatever “joke” presented was not funny. I cancelled satellite as I didn’t want to support a venue that was so obviously anti-conservative. And, as we all know, GWB was not a conservative. He just wasn’t the “correct” flavor of liberal.

I haven’t owned a TV since the OJ trial. I may have seen two movies in the theater since that time. But entertainment is so laced by liberal poison, I don’t watch any of it.
