Kentucky Republican told 'Tucker Carlson Tonight', 'I've had the virus and have immunity'
This is an unofficial transcript meant for reference. Accuracy is not guaranteed.
Now, back to more Tucker Carlson
tonight,
researchers
confirmed this week, whats been
very obvious for more than a
year, people of been infected
and then recovered from the
coronavirus will almost
certainly develop antibodies and
they will likely last the rest
of their lives. Therefore, they
do not need the vaccine.
Earlier. This year we spoke to
one physician who realize this a
long time ago.
The most unprecedented thing
we are doing is deploying it
indiscriminately into folks who
have been recently or previously
infected, and I think we
shouldnt underestimate, with the
effect of a vaccine. Driven
immune response is on the
tissues and individuals who have
been previously infected. The
footprints of the virus persists
in the tissues of the previously
infected, so its not a far
stretch to imagine that those
tissues, such as the inner lining
of the blood vessel, would be
targeted by the vaccine immune
response, and I have not seen any
evidence of the FDA or CDC.
Taking this seriously. Its a
major risk mistake to assume you
can put this vaccine into people
who have been recently or
currently infected and expect
that no complications will
result.
So people who dont
need the vaccine are being
compelled to get the vaccine
thats, not an argument against
vaccines, its an argument
against the misuse of medicine,
any medicine, including vaccines,
Rand Paul, is a physician and a
u dot s senator from the state of
Kentucky and has been infected
with covid, obviously recovered
and has written an op ed on. Why
so many are denying the science
of natural immunity to covid.
We are happy to have him join us
tonight.
Thank you. So much for coming on
just clarify as a physician in a
sentence or two how people who
have recovered from Covid should
feel about their chances of
getting reinfected
to be. My people need to
understand that the science of
vaccines is based on the science
of natural infection.
What theyre trying to do is to
simulate and get the same
response that you get or better
with a natural infection.
Some diseases like measles, when
you get them, you actually have
lifelong immunity.
You get vaccinated after couple
of decades. Natural infection is
actually better than the vaccine
in some ways. For measles,
this isnt, an argument against
being vaccinated, just happens
to be. If you got the measles,
you have lifelong immunity.
Smallpox was the same way, but
not an argument for getting
smallpox
with covid. We dont know yet,
but they dont know how long you
will be immune.
I can look back at you and say I
dont know how long the vaccine
will work already talking about
a booster
when he comes before the
committee, and we ask him how
many of those were vaccinated or
had the disease. He has no
earthly idea, not even counting
them.
Even a good scientist will say
we should look and see whether
those who have already been
vaccinated are somehow
responding differently. If
youve already had the disease
and you get a vaccine, you get
one thousand times greater response, or
maybe that means youre more
likely to get symptoms and side
effects.
I dont think its been studied
thoroughly
in Israel. There was a study
recently and it showed those who
were vaccinated and those who
are infected naturally had about
the same possibility of being
reinfected. Pretty small
im confused by
this.
Your job is to promote and then
disseminate the vaccine and
compel people to take it, which
is what we are doing. They cant
go back to school without it, so
you are forcing this on people
isnt it. Your moral obligation
to find out with the potential
harms are what population
should get it? Why are they
treating everyone the same and
refusing to ask obvious
questions?
Theres a huge public health
question
in India. They dont have enough
vaccines, so Dr Fauci is
advising the world. What should
he tell him? They are
the people already had it, or
should they save the vaccine for
those who havent had it?
This is a profoundly important
question for a country that has
a billion people and might have
two hundred million vaccines.
Should they wasted on people who
have already gotten it.
The science says no, but he says
we are all lemmings, submit all
about uniformity of submission
and less about science.
These people are
scary, and I appreciate your
asking obvious questions. When
youre a physician, you still
have a right to do that. I.
