Republican Sen. Rand Paul says people who have recovered from the coronavirus should “throw away their masks, go to restaurants,” and “live again.”
The libertarian-minded senator, who months ago contracted the virus, made the proclamation Thursday, based on the assumption that those who have recovered from the illness are “now immune.”
The Kentucky lawmaker also took aim at Dr. Anthony Fauci saying that the director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, “doesn’t want to admit to any of that.”
Paul, who has many times criticized lockdown procedures aimed at combating the spread of the virus, has also confronted Dr. Fauci, considered the country’s top infectious disease expert, several times since the pandemic’s onset.
