The mask mandates pushed by health bureaucrats and Democrats are really “all about submission”, not public safety, says Senator Rand Paul (R-Ky.).
In an interview with Breitbart News on Saturday, Paul explained that the science doesn’t align with mask mandates being pushed by authoritarian governments around the world.
“It’d be one thing if we were told you have to give up your liberty, you have to give up your freedom, we’re going to save your life. But what if you have to give up all your freedoms and they’re wrong on the science?” Paul said.
“Every one of the mandates — and you look in country after country, state after state — you look at when the mask mandates went in — the incidents went up exponentially after the mandates. Restaurants, nobody can eat in a restaurant, there’s no science behind any of that.”
Paul went on to slam masks as ineffective against preventing exposure to the coronavirus given the massive COVID spikes in populations despite strict mask mandates.
“There’s no evidence that that slowed down the [spread]. … The trajectory of the virus hasn’t been altered at all by any of these things,” Paul explained. “I think the vaccine will, and this is why I really despise people like the CNN Doctor [Sanjay] Gupta, who I think is committing television malpractice by saying, ‘Oh, your mask is a much better thing than the vaccine.’ Well, no, it isn’t. The masks aren’t working at all. The thing’s going through the roof and people are dying. Why would you want to discourage someone from taking a vaccine and say, ‘Oh wear the mask’?”
“And the masks are different, too. The N95 mask actually does work to a certain extent, if worn properly and used [with] sterile technique. In the hospital, our doctors — I have a brother and sister who are doctors, they wear the N95 mask, and it’s kept them from getting infected — but there’s no value to the cloth mask, at all.”
“It’s like wearing your underwear. You might as well cut your underwear up and wear your underwear as protection. It doesn’t work,” he added.
Paul added that if Fauci was in control, the masks would never be allowed to come off.
“If Fauci has his way, you’ll never give up on the mask,” warned Paul. “It’s all about submission. They want you to submit to their will, whether there’s any science. In fact, like on schools, I’ve been telling Fauci for six months, the evidence is that if you open schools, you will not get a surge. The whole world accepts it, except for Dr. Fauci. He finally accepted it last week, six months after I started showing him the evidence.”
How long until CNN accuses Paul of spreading COVID disinformation?
Fed up Americans all over are realizing they’ll never be given permission to take their mask off. Taking to the streets as a massive exercise of civil disobedience is one way this San Antonio group has taken action.
