Rand Paul: ‘I wouldn’t vaccinate my children’
The Hill ^ | 03/23/23 11:35 AM ET | BY NICK ROBERTSON

Posted on 03/24/2023 5:03:04 AM PDT by RandFan

Sen. Rand Paul (R-Ky.) in a Thursday interview on The Hill’s Rising said he wouldn’t vaccinate his own children for COVID-19 out of concerns about the risk of heart inflammation.

Paul, a vocal critic of pandemic policies who frequently battled with former White House adviser Anthony Fauci during the Trump and Biden administrations, said the risk of myocarditis — heart inflammation — is greater than the manufacturers of vaccines have said. He also argued the vaccine carries an unnecessary risk for young people.

“I, frankly, wouldn’t vaccinate my children for COVID,” he said. “I think the risks of the vaccine are greater than the risks of the disease. The risks of the disease are almost non-existent.”

Studies have estimated that myocarditis occurs in about 1 in 15,000 men ages 16-19 who receive three COVID vaccines, according to the American Heart Association.

COVID vaccine-related myocarditis is almost always mild and patients recover in a matter of days, the AHA said.

The Centers of Disease Control and Prevention and most health authorities have recommended that people take COVID-19 vaccines.

Paul’s remarks to Rising follow a hearing on Wednesday where he accused Moderna CEO Stéphane Bancel of lying to the public about the risk of myocarditis to young men.

“I also spoke with your president just last week and he readily acknowledged in private that yes, there is an increased risk of myocarditis,” he said. “The fact that you can’t say it in public is quite disturbing.”

After the lab shot has been in the system for five or six years I’ll review the data. Honestly the data doesn’t look good at this time

Hey Rand, it’s not a vaccine. Stop referring to it as one. That’s half the problem.

“Studies have estimated that myocarditis occurs in about 1 in 15,000 men ages 16-19 who receive three COVID vaccines, according to the American Heart Association. “

More BS. statistics.

I know of two people personally that are now taking meds for their heart after they got that vaccine and neither is reported as such. The occupational health nurse kept records and was pushing that idiotic testing and vaccine, keeping copious records of that, but post vaccine and side effects: crickets.

BUT!!! When this disease first started, and before they even had a test, anyone with any Covid symptoms was entered and one of my employees that was >70, had a heart stint, diabetes, high blood pressure, and went to the hospital for pneumonia that ended up dying was also counted as a “Covid death.”

Statistics have become irrelevant at this point.

Just like most of these “studies” are not worth anything other than getting someones name out there as a researcher etc.

We talk a lot about “following the science,” but we actually do very little of that.

What about those vaccines that are mandated by law just for kids to go to school and that is any school including private schools?

We really do have criminal government.

Some of the vaccines that are vaccines have been thoroughly tested. New shots are the ones not tested. The new shots are not vaccines. Government mandated vaccination has been a contentious point of discussion in my family too. We must protect our young and ourselves The government gives not a whiff about the People and the children

The problem though is that the data is manipulated, hidden, distorted. We know a lot of folks who died “WITH” covid were listed as having died “FROM” covid. And we will never know the full extent of how few actually died FROM covid because the official narra5ive is that it was near 1 million, and they won’t back down from that.

Other nations have severely lowered the numbers of those who died FROM covid beczuse they were nhonest enough to admit that dying WITH covid is not the same as dying FROM covid.

What stops a company from changing those well tested vaccines to something else and passing it off as good enough or even ‘better’ than the previous version?

We need to think like evil people to protect ourselves.

Never in my lifetime have Americans been more own their own. The government is not there to protect and defend US anymore, regrettably

Yes, and of course, THAT is not an inconvenience or expense…..

Not only my old aunt, but my highly healthy cousin, my age in our 50s, eats right and exercises heavily still from her Army background, had myocarditis from these shots. For my cousin, that is absolutely outrageous.

I laughed when I read that post. Some people really, really need to take their time. It’s better than trusting Fauci.
