You may have seen the video last week where Sen. Rand Paul, R-Ky., grills Dr. Anthony "Tony" Fauci (aka "Dr. Ubiquitous") over his fear-mongering and double-mask mania.
If not, make sure you watch the entire exchange on C–SPAN and not the heavily-edited, pro-Fauci version on the opposition media.
Sen. Paul — who just happens to be a doctor — cited a number of studies that found after one contracts COVID-19 and recovers the chance of getting reinfected is infinitesimally small.
In addition, when a patient has taken the coronavirus vaccine there is again a miniscule chance of reinfection and spreading the disease.
Then Paul directly challenged Fauci, "You’ve had the vaccine and you’re still wearing two masks! Isn’t that mask theatre?"
In response Fauci waved his hands and responded "variant" and "wild," which translated into English means, "Boo," and "Double Boo."
Then Sen. Paul asked an extremely relevant question:
If the government — which is essentially Fauci and his Hallelujah Chorus — is really concerned about reluctance to take the vaccine, shouldn’t they offer recipients a reward, like dispensing with face burkas, instead of sentencing them to wear one, two, many masks until 2022?
Fauci again responded by essentially saying "Boo" and offering no science to back up his ludicrous position.
Recent developments have not helped Fauci’s fear-mongering.
The Journal of the American Medical Association (considered science with a capital "S") just published a new study. It found patients who had recovered from Covid and patients who had been vaccinated both had "infection and vaccine-induced immunity" against all four of Dr. Ubiquitous’ "variants."
So much for "Boo."
Sen. Paul discussed the confrontation on Tucker Carlson’s show.
As anyone watching the exchange saw, Fauci had no scientific evidence to back up his claim that people should continue to wear masks after vaccination or recovery.
As Paul said, "There was Dr. Fauci's opinion, his conjecture that someday there might be a [coronavirus] variant that escapes the control of the vaccine and becomes a pandemic and hospitalizes and kills people. But there is no evidence it has happened. He thinks it might happen, so you need to wear the mask until he's sure that things that might happen are not going to happen."
Paul has some insight into Fauci’s motivation for continuing to mislead the public, "What Fauci won't tell you is he is telling you a 'noble lie'. He is lying because he doesn't think we are smart enough to make decisions. His fear is, if we quit wearing masks, the vaccinated [people] will say 'What the h**l, I'm not wearing a mask either.'"
Which wouldn’t make a difference anyway, since the science says face burkas don’t work.
We have another take on the head of the "Flustapo."
Fauci’s bitter clinging to his multi-mask mandate is a combination of an eagerness to extend his control of the public and his fantasy of a new pandemic right around the corner.
"Dr. Ubiquitous" has become drunk on power.
He just can’t give up the rush that comes when previously ignored "doctor’s orders" now have the force of law.
