Rand Paul once again had a showdown with Dr. Anthony Fauci on Capitol Hill Thursday as the senator pushed the nation's top immunologist on whether children are going to need 10 boosters against COVID-19.
Fauci, who joined the hearing virtually after announcing Wednesday he contracted COVID, said it was 'absurd' to say that children would need to continue getting vaccination boosters as long as they produce antibodies, which Paul says the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) is using as its reasoning for recommendation.
'The government recommends everybody take a booster over age five,' Paul saida as part of a Senate Health, Education, Labor, and Pensions Committee hearing on Thursday. 'Are you aware of any studies that show reduction in hospitalization or death for children who take a booster?'
Dr. Fauci, 81, replied that there have not been such studies or 'data accumulated', but said, before being cut off by the Republican senator, that the recommendation was made based on mortality rates of children who contracted the virus.
It was their latest in a string of clashes since the start of the pandemic on a range of issues including lockdowns, Wuhan lab leak theories and funding of gain-of-function research.
Even with vaccinated and boosted Fauci testifying remotely because of his COVID diagnosis, Paul took no prisoners with his nemesis and suggested there was no evidence boosters for children reduce the risk of hospitalization or death.
Both the Pfizer and Moderna COVID-19 shots for children as young as six months received clearance from a Food and Drug Administration (FDA) advisory panel this week, setting them up for controversial emergency use authorization in the coming days.
