"We should not have government mandates based on what we don't know. We should make mandates based on what we do know," Sen. Rand Paul, R-Ky, told "Your World" Tuesday.
PAUL: Here's the thing about Dr. Fauci. When they can prove something is a real problem, let's consider a mandate. The last time he [Dr. Fauci] had the pushback with me, he said, "What about the variants? You may have had the infection or may have had the vaccine, but you may be susceptible to the variants." All of the studies so far show the vaccine works well against most of the variants and natural disease works very well against the variants. In fact, a study that came out in January from one of his [Fauci’s] own institutes, one of his scientists said that natural immunity, those that got it the natural way, have immunity to all the variants.
What we need to do is not push fearmongering. Is it perfect? No. The burden should be on government to prove there's widespread -- people that have had it or not getting it by the tens of thousands, or [that] people being vaccinated are still passing it along. Even the CDC admitted, before somebody made them roll it back, but the head of the CDC was on TV saying if you have been vaccinated, we discovered that you're not carrying it, you're not transmitting. This is good news. These people can't stand good news because that means you get out from under their thumb and you can go live your life. They don't want you to be free of their mandates. They like the idea of submission because most of these people, at heart, they are big government people.

This hints at why we moved from Seattle to Kentucky ten years ago.
It really seems to come down to some very basic psychological personality trait
I see it among relatives and acquaintances. Those who support lock-downs and controls invariably support the nanny-state (and live off it too). Its a kind of religion, like a search for some new secular god, who will take care of their needs, and ease their fears.
“This hints at why we moved from Seattle to Kentucky ten years ago.”
That was a wise move.

Where is this study??
It’s all so politicized. The DNC does NOT want to give up its stranglehold on the US
The much vilified (on the FR) Rand Paul seems to be the only conservative taking on the evil Fauci.
He is indeed... I’m glad he is speaking out
The entire response worldwide to COVID 19 I can only describe as completely reckless. Shutting down churches, restaurants, banning family get togethers, ect... The damage to liberties and our economies over basically a virus that 99% survive.
True. But if the general population wasn’t a bunch of meeklings they would have told these fascists to GFT.
Very true. The population got either duped by the media or just went along even volunteering to comply more than necessary.
Interesting my wife’s school is having a strange challenge. Some parents refuse to have their kids wear masks. As its a private school the Principle doesn’t see fit to over ride the parents’ will. Eventually other kids I imagine will just decide they too won’t wear masks - why can some wear them and others refuse.
