Rand Paul was right about Dr. Anthony Fauci

Sen. Rand Paul has come under a good deal of criticism for repeatedly challenging Dr. Anthony Fauci on the federal government’s coronavirus guidance. But more often than not, Paul has been right.

The latest clash between the two came on Thursday during a Senate hearing about the federal coronavirus response. Paul asked Fauci why he was advising vaccine recipients to continue social distancing and wearing masks if they had been immunized, calling the continued restrictions “theater.” Paul cited several studies that show reinfection is extremely rare, which means that if you’ve had the coronavirus or if you’ve received the coronavirus vaccine, it is very unlikely that you will ever contract or spread it again.
