Rand Paul hits NIH Director for mask-at-home comments: How can people who are so smart say such stupid things?
Fox News ^ | Aug 4 | Fox News Staff

Senator Rand Paul joined "Fox News Primetime" to weigh in on National Institutes of Health director Francis Collins' comments saying parents should wear masks at home to protect their children from COVID-19.

SENATOR RAND PAUL: How can people who are so smart say such stupid things? There is no science to defend putting your kids in masks or parents wearing masks—no science whatsoever. If there were, we would be wearing masks for years and years because for kids, the death rate is about the same as the seasonal flu. It may be less than the seasonal flu. So, is Francis Collins proposing that because the flu is with us forever that parents should be wearing masks around their kids that have the flu? It is absolutely and utterly without scientific evidence! Now, they’re all freaking out right now about the Delta variant. One thing is—in all likelihood true—it is more transmissible, significantly more transmissible, but guess what? Every bit of evidence shows that it's less deadly—significantly less deadly. Public Health England looked at 92,000 people. If you were vaccinated and under 50, there were no deaths. If you were unvaccinated and under 50, .08%—still very, very small. So, it’s not an argument for not getting vaccinated. It’s an argument for not getting hysterical over the Delta variant. We shouldn’t be changing any mandates and really, in all likelihood, the masks didn’t affect the trajectory of the virus at all. The only thing that’s slowing the virus down is the vaccine and natural immunity and they continue to ignore natural immunity because they think we are too far behind. We got to vaccinate the children but, in reality I think it’s 90% of people over 65 have been vaccinated. That’s extraordinary. We should be celebrating.

Sen. Rand Paul is an American hero.

No one decimates the stupidity over and over like he does.
Have to call his office and thank him. Again.

Where is everyone else?

Dr. Robert Malone who created the mRNA vax is now so alarmed by the skyrocketing deaths and injuries that he is calling for it to be stopped as are other notable doctors.

Rand Paul should be front and center of the effort to stop these deadly injections.

Perhaps your starting premise is not correct Rand. 🙂

The CDC itself prior admitted that 85% of those getting covid wore a mask always (71%) or often (14%). And Democrats have a philosophy of ‘rules are for thee and not for me’. I saw a video of LiberalHivemind on another Dim caught violating their own health guidelines, and you can check it out in crawler link top of page at Whatfinger News. The left keeps doing this and it isn’t funny anymore. And the fact is that cloth isn’t magical and blocks no virus. In fact smoke particles are larger than any virus and go right through cloth. Science!

And their views are being suppressed by anyone with power to do so, just as Hydroxychloroquine was suppressed. Also, at the same time we are being subjected to virus related mandates illegal aliens here and in Europe are not even being tested.

They are smart though. We can’t assume because our enemy is evil that they lack intelligence. They tricked billions of people for over a year and counting. That wasn’t luck.

We on the Right have a tendency to be too polite. That is how 2020 happened, complete with terrorist thug groups burning down buildings.

Have never worn a mask (because my brain knows they don’t work) and I will end anyone who jabs me. Not playing with the commies any more.

You think I’m crazy, but the Mengeles of this world are dead serious with their Great Reset. They do not intend to allow life to ever get back to normal.

Agreed. It is a perfect example of the Dunning-Kruger effect. The dumber one is, the smarter one thinks they are. And those people are otherwise called democrats.

Yup.

They’re not masks.

They’re muzzles.

It is indeed all about submission and signaling that you’re “with” the left.

Whoever this CDC idiot is has really outdone herself in stupidity, but I bet even now you’ll find some parents sitting at their own breakfast table all masked up to the eyeballs.

" How can people who are so smart say such stupid things?"

Hint: Maybe they're not 'so smart'. You're speaking of Democrats, you know.
