Paul told Carlson Friday that Fauci presented "no scientific evidence" to make the case for wearing masks after people have been vaccinated.
"There was Dr. Fauci's opinion, his conjecture that someday there might be a [coronavirus] variant that escapes the control of the vaccine and becomes a pandemic and hospitalizes and kills people," he said. "But there is no evidence it has happened. He thinks it might happen, so you need to wear the mask until he's sure that things that might happen are not going to happen."
Paul went on to describe Fauci as "unconcerned about liberty", adding that the burden should be on him and other bureaucrats to prove their dictates and recommendations are necessary.
"There are no news reports or scientific studies saying, after vaccination, that there is some sort of widespread contagion that people [who are] vaccinated are spreading the disease," he said.
"What Fauci won't tell you is he is telling you a 'noble lie'. He is lying because he doesn't think we are smart enough to make decisions," Paul continued. "His fear is, if we quit wearing masks, the vaccinated [people] will say 'What the hell, I'm not wearing a mask either.'
Paul concluded by reiterating that the burden of proof falls on the government and health officials in cases where personal freedoms will be abridged.
"I shouldn't have to prove I want to be free and left alone," he said. "I want to breathe the air."

that is why he made it, and patented it.
NOTHING to see here. GO AWAY.
Fauci and his ilk see Liberty as an impediment, an anathema.
When was honesty with the public ever a goal of the bureaucrats.
Seems like we have been lied to for our entire lives no matter what age we are.
A sentiment shared by many Freepers.
This applies to all the Dems, all the time.
"Freedom" in our history before 2021 meant people could make up their own minds, start a profession or business at their own risk and worship, vote, educate their children and move around and associate with others resulting from the person's own "free" decision. Not the Dem way.
It’s been an ongoing frustration to me, that we have shut down society, other countries shut down too, over a virus that, while serious, is not fatal to the vast majority of people even if they do get it.
This virus is not the return of the Bubonic Plague from Medieval Europe, yet we have been behaving as if it is.
And there seems to be no recognition by people like Fauci, of all the collateral damage caused by the shutdowns.
Rand Paul is entirely correct.
I’d take it a step further and say FauXi is a genocidal maniac.

look at India. They are doing a far better job than we are.
But you won;t read it iin the news, they are vaccinating and also making repurpoosed drug therapy 9 HCQm Ivermectin) available to its people over the counter without prescription. If we had done that here, we could have had ZERO lock downs.
How much longer will American accept their false enslavement as places like Florida and South Dakota thrive.
Time to apply the Constitution.
“unconcerned with liberty”
Sad to say unless you don’t mind being ridiculed as a “FluBro”, most Freepers are unconcerned about liberty.
Oh they are crying foul now and busy pretending their early pandemic posts will be ignored but the record shows all of the support for lockdowns and restrictions provided by Freepers. Especially the Freepers who are in their houses safely getting a monthly check.
We had daily fear charts. Very scared Case fatality rates. Experts listen to the Freeper experts. Even more scarey charts from Tennessee.
So school kids can now sit 3 ft apart FOR 6 HOURS with a mask according to CDC.
And I go into a store for 10 minutes and I have to be 6 ft apart.
But the FIRST order out had us 6 ft apart....AN NO MASK.
Another poster pointed out that Fauci knows governments intend to keep the scam going indefinitely by releasing new variants - but Paul isn't in on the plan.
Paul cut and sliced Fauci with the skill of a Surgeon.
Go for it Sen. Paul.
Thanks for saying what the rest of us are thinking.
Fauci can pound sand. He is not regulating anything I’ll do. They will have to catch me and they are just too damn slow.
We don't lie, lie, lie.
Like our wonderful governors, Cuomo, Whitmer and Murphy.
Biden is even less likely to fire Fauci than Trump was.
