Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Texas) will no longer wear a face mask as he walks the U.S. Capitol and goes to the Senate floor after being fully vaccinated against COVID-19, according to a report.
“At this point, I’ve been vaccinated. Everybody working in the Senate has been vaccinated,” Cruz told CNN on Thursday.
Cruz has followed the footsteps of a fellow senator, Rand Paul (R-Ky.), who also ditched his mask—which isn’t a requirement for members in the Senate, but it is for those in the House.
Paul, 58, unlike Cruz, hasn’t been fully vaccinated against the CCP (Chinese Communist Party) virus, but he tested positive for the virus last year and has COVID-19 antibodies. He is one of at least three U.S. senators who have declined to get inoculated, at least for now.
Paul suggested last month that people like himself who have tested positive for COVID-19 and recovered are not immediately required to get a vaccine because they have antibodies.
“About 30 million people have gotten the infection naturally like myself,” Paul told reporters on Capitol Hill in Washington. “The interesting thing is that [there is] no more than a handful of reports of people getting it again, so there’s every indication that having been infected with it provides strong natural immunity.”
“I’m going with the science on this one,” he added. “I have not chosen to be vaccinated because I got it naturally and the science of 30 million people and the statistical validity of a 30-million sample is pretty overwhelming that natural immunity exists and works.”
Paul noted that he has spoken in support of getting vaccinated for those who haven’t been infected with COVID-19.
COVID-19 is caused by the CCP virus, commonly referred to as the novel coronavirus, which originated in China in late 2019.
The U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) recommends those who have been fully vaccinated to “keep taking precautions” and wear a mask in public and socially distance as health officials continue to learn “how vaccines will affect the spread of COVID-19.”
Vaccines do not give the recipient 100 percent immunity and health officials said a person who is fully vaccinated doesn’t know if they possibly carry an asymptomatic infection that could spread to someone else.
However, CDC guidelines say those who have been fully vaccinated are allowed to gather with other people indoors without wearing masks or physical distancing—unless anyone near them has an increased risk for severe illness from COVID-19.
The guidance doesn’t mention those who may have gained some level of immunity from being infected, and recovering, from the CCP virus.
Well bless his heart. Let’s see him walk into Texas chain stores like that.
“The fact that he took the jab means he’s too dumb to be President. Why not just take off the mask period?”
BINGO! He feels safe now that he’s been genetically modified. Yep he’s too dumb to be president.
This continues to baffle me why so called “smart people “ advocate and receive this terrible shot. I like Cruz but wth?
Don’t these people inform themselves like so many of us here do? You can probably tell that I will not be getting the shot. And it’s NOT a vaccine.
People who continue to believe and spout the genetically modified line are either stupid or intentionally lying

“That seems reasonable. Perhaps everyone who has been vaccinated should be able to do this. How would we keep track of who has been vaccinated and who hasn’t been vaccinated though? an arm band perhaps? Or maybe some kind of a small computer chip?”
Arm band?
Computer chip?
Not just NO,
But
OH H3LL NO!!!

Clear face shield on glasses frames works; no flak from shopkeepers.
At youth sports today watching grandchildren, soccer game watchers had to have masks, baseball at the other end of same part, no mask needed.
Per coaches, depends on the insurance coverage.
Interesting.

Correct. I am not of devious nature, however this statement gave me some hope things will change: “ The entire Senate and staff have received the shots”.....long term effects anyone?...the Senate does not reflect Americans, most I know did not get the shots.....
Cruz barely beat Beta in Texas.
Cruz would not have defeated Hillary in 2016.
“Cruz would not have defeated Hillary in 2016.”
That’s the irony. The Democrats wanted Trump the whole time because they thought he’d be trounced.
They didn’t activate their election fraud because they didn’t think they had to.
Trump has to get the election process fixed by 2024 or I think it’s all over. I don’t see anybody else with the horsepower to take the job on.
That's awesome!
Stanford study quietly published at NIH.gov proves face masks are absolutely worthless against Covid

FTA: According to the current knowledge, the virus SARS-CoV-2 has a diameter of 60 nm to 140 nm [nanometers (billionth of a meter)] [16], [17], while medical and non-medical facemasks’ thread diameter ranges from 55 µm to 440 µm [micrometers (one millionth of a meter), which is more than 1000 times larger [25]. Due to the difference in sizes between SARS-CoV-2 diameter and facemasks thread diameter (the virus is 1000 times smaller), SARS-CoV-2 can easily pass through any facemask
You seem awful worried about what everybody does. 😏
Agree, my real preference is for a Trump/DeSantis ticket and appoint Cruz to the Supreme Court.....
It’s the entire reason for his pitiful existence.
😆😆
