Science is huh. I thought he was just a Dr Anthony Fauci slamming his critics. Our next guest argues, the only one ignoring science is Dr Fauci. Senator Rand Paul has sparred quite often with Mr Science Senator first off thats, like if people criticize me saying you just dont like talk, show hosts or you just dont like senators if they dont like you. What kind of ego is this if you attack him or have any debate over any his edicts or mandate youre attacking science? This is a very, very dangerous sort of idea. The idea that a government because of accurate represents science and that he is now untouchable, it is sort of like you are now contradicting the all high priest of science. If you say anything, but there are the real questions and theres real areas of science that hes never really debated because he deflects one area is over. One hundred million
Americans have had covid, they have natural immunity, theres a real question about whether they should be vaccinated once twice or not at all, and the thing is theres never been any debate because hes all powerful scientist youre not to question him just do as youre told so with him its more about submission, but most of his edicts are not based in science. Whether kids should wear mask in school is a very debatable subject. In Sweden, no kids wear masks one point: eight million kids, they havent worn masks at all for the last two years and they havent had any deaths. What about the teachers turns out the teachers dont get Covid at a greater rate, hand the rest of public, so it turns out. Maybe we dont have to have our kids in masks. Should we have the debate? No, we shouldnt question Dr Fauci Brian. He has a specific problem with you and Senator Cruz Senator Cruz. He said what
happened on January. Sixth. What does that tell you where his mind is at clearly youre under his skin? It shows you that the hes a rank, partisan but youve seen how he pushes back now. He just calls everyone else: liars, so theres, large randomized studies, theres a study from Denmark on Mask six thousand people with masks six thousand without they both had the same incidents of disease. 8Ing. Zero percent of those getting covid today are wearing a mask most of the time. So should we be mandating something every state, province or country that mandated mask wearing, not one of them showed the trajectory of the disease going down. The only thing that affects this disease are vaccines and also natural immunity, but the one thing theyre ignoring if he wants to talk about the science, the current vaccines not working very well. It worked very well in April and May of this year when cases went down to less than ten thousand a day, but its not working very well
theyve had a delta variant vaccine for months. How can theyre not producing it? Finally, the head of Moderna is saying: ye were probably going to need a new vaccine but thats what we should be talking about. How can we dont get a new one every year? The way we do for the flu they criticized Trump to death for his bringing forth the vaccine within a year. Theyve done nothing to bring forward a new vaccine. They just keep tell thing us to wear a mask and other thing that dont work. Brian yeah, Dr Fauci, takes credit for that vaccine. Now, its amazing real quick. Are we doing enough to stop supply chain crisis? To help this crisis? I think its most important that people know it seems to be a supply chain crisis that seems to be mostly in heavily regulated. California, people need to realize when you try to put out a business independent contractors like Lyft, uber and independent trucker, its a problem, you cant drive a truck into California that has an engine
older than two thousand and ten theyre like Nazis to make sure youre obeying the law. On how many hours you drive so truckers dont go to California theyre in other place. There has to be a reason why there doesnt seem to be this.
