‘Ignoring the Science’: Rand Paul Exposes HHS Secretary Xavier Becerra for ‘Lying To People About Natural Immunity’ for COVID-19
Big League Politics ^ | Oct 1 | Shane Trejo

Sen. Rand Paul (R-KY) grilled HHS Secretary Xavier Becerra on Thursday for “lying to people about natural immunity” to COVID-19 as well as “ignoring science.”

“Mr. Becerra, are you familiar with an Israeli study that had 2.5 million patients and found that the vaccinated group was actually seven times more likely to get infected with Covid than the people who had gotten Covid naturally?” Paul asked the health bureaucrat during a Senate Health Committee hearing.

“I’m not familiar with that,” Becerra said in response, feigning ignorance with the well-publicized study.

“I think you might want to be if you’re going to travel the country insulting the millions of Americans, including NBA star Jonathan Isaac, who had Covid, recovered, look at a study with 2.5 million people, and say, well, you know what, I should make the decision. Instead, you’ve called Jonathan Isaac and others, myself included, flat earthers,” Paul clapped back.

“We find that very insulting… Are you a doctor or a medical doctor?” the liberty-loving senator asked.

“I have worked for over 30 years on health policy,” Becerra said.

This is when Paul went in for the killshot on the paid shill for Big Pharma.

“You’re not a medical doctor. Do you have a science degree? And yet you travel the country, calling people flat earthers, who have had Covid, looked at studies of millions of people, and made their own personal decision that their immunity they naturally acquired is sufficient but you presume somehow to tell over 100 million Americans who survived Covid that we have no right to determine our own medical care,” Paul said. “You alone are on high and you’ve made these decisions, a lawyer with no scientific background, no medical degree. This is an arrogance coupled with an authoritarianism that is unseemly and un-American.”

you know its all bull when they ban prophylactics and give you one way out, they suggest, then mandate, then remove you from society completely if you don’t vax, natural antibodies are not even mentioned because that doesn’t benefit their narrative and plan. Why do I need a vax to kick start my immunity when I already have it. Someone turned the lights on in the kitchen and the roaches are scattering

Yes, arrogance coupled with an authoritarianism. To me, arrogance coupled with authoritarianism is synonymous with "American government," or "new America."

Wondering at what point (if ever) the spirit of independence will reassert itself.

Influenza disappears - that another “not credible” fact asserted by these liars.

There is no way that I will ever believe that they mean to do good for me. The government is out to cause harm.

This is when Paul went in for the killshot on the paid shill for Big Pharma.

Yet this morning after his fatal JFK verbal kill shot, Becerra is back at work thinking up new and more powerful ways of stripping more freedoms from us.

Sorry I’m getting sick of these “Colonel Trey Gowdys Homemade Conservative Country Red Meat” moments that accomplish nothing in corraling these provable lying @ssholes out of thier office, considering these are the same schmucks that approved his appointment to the position in the first place!

“I’m not familiar with that”

Probably an honest answer, not that it would matter. Willful ignorance.

Biden is our Antiochus Epiphanes. He doesn’t belong there; he didn’t get where he is legitimately.

In addition, Biden himself is cognitively and morally compromised, so he is immune to this sort of logic. And he is too far gone to keep himself from being used by those behind him anyway: Jill Biden and the rest can do whatever they want.

His entire administration knows that ultimately Biden takes the blame for everything and he is incapable of managing them or even aware of what they are doing.

The crazy thing is that other than a handful like Rand Paul, the rest of the elected officials are so painfully stupid or compromised themselves that our entire government is just a runaway train. As soon as a good curve comes up things are going to get a lot uglier.

...that doesn’t benefit their narrative and plan.

Which we must demand that they disclose, in detail and in writing (no deliberately confusing videos). Spell it out and let us decide.

They will not disclose the objectives of UN Agenda 21 & 30, though...since the seven billion or so of us who will have to die might object strenuously!
