You always know there’s gonna be some fireworks when Rand Paul has a chance to question Fauci, amirite? Yesterday, he did NOT disappoint. And as you can see, Rand Paul really had a simple question for the doc.
Today I asked Fauci a simple question: Are there any studies that show a reduction in hospitalization or death for children that take a booster?

His answer: No
Then why is the government recommending it?
That seems like a reasonable thing to ask, honestly. And Rand Paul tried and tried to get Fauci to answer in a reasonable way.
The government recommends a booster for children despite Fauci admittedly not having any evidence to support their decision.

I gotta admit I kinda love how much they can’t stand each other. Because deep down, you KNOW that Fauci knows that Rand Paul is 100% right, but he can’t admit it because he’s too dug in now. And that makes for great entertainment.
Rand Paul also asked Fauci about royalties he and his staff get from vaccine-manufacturers. Kind of an important thing for the public to know, if you ask me. Here’s how that went.
I asked, "Can you tell me if anyone on the vaccine approval committees ever received money from the people who make vaccines?"

Here’s a little more kids-getting-vaccines info that seems pretty relevant.
