Sen. Rand Paul slammed Dr. Anthony Fauci for "very dangerous" advice on the coronavirus, in his latest rebuke of the government's leading infectious-disease expert.
"Dr. Fauci needs to be away from government, away from advice, because almost all of his advice had been wrongheaded. But some of it's actually very dangerous," Paul, who is also a doctor, told "Fox & Friends" host Brian Kilmeade Thursday morning.
The remarks came amid a discussion on an op-ed from the Atlantic titled, "Unvaccinated People Need to Bear the Burden," which advocated for allowing only vaccinated individuals to fly on domestic flights.
"Obscene," Paul said in response to the op-ed. "You know that if we now disagree in our personal medical decisions with the left, they're going to declare that we're a terrorist and that we can't fly. But even on the practicality of it, even if you said okay, we're going to do this -- even the CDC says you're not supposed to get vaccinated if you've been infected within three months. So what going to do, tell people they can't fly for three months, even according to the CDC? I, and other doctors, actually think that your immunity from being infected is going to last a lot longer."
He went on to say that there’s no correlation between a mask mandate and incidents of the virus.
"This idiot would have us not flying for three months," he continued on the op-ed. "So it makes no sense, it's complete collectivism. And all of these people are the same people who hooted and hollered and said Trump is leading us to authoritarianism. What could be more authoritarian than a no-fly less for people who disagree with you."

Fauci’s advice is whatever the Chinese tell him to give.
Rand is fighting.
Too bad he is alone.
“Rand is fighting.
Too bad he is alone.”
Agreed. The GOP has shown themselves to be more contemptible than I ever thought possible.
How’s Fauci going to stop people from flying unless he’s planning vaccine passports?
My understanding is the vaccines contain MRC-5 which contain DNA from an aborted fetus. I would rather be injected with the disease to have natural immunity rather than the vaccinate. Natural immunity is better, but you don’t have that option.
They are Hell bent on making you take the vaccine. Why? It isn’t science.
Mr Paul is going to be erased.
And it will change on Tuesday IF it rains and again on Sunday, if it doesn’t 😄
DeSantis/Paul is my dream ticket for 2024. Paul as VP would also make DeSantis’s enemies hesitant to remove him, because it would usher in a libertarian budget.
Send Fauci to my house to administer the jab in person.
I do fear for his life; he needs our prayers. The people he’s standing against are evil, and it wouldn’t surprise me to hear that Rand “committed suicide”.
