After Sen. Rand Paul (R-KY) said Tuesday that government public health experts should be more humble in their advice to lawmakers, the government’s top infectious disease authority said he never claimed to be the “end-all” authority about COVID-19 policy.
Of all the mysteries of the universe, the least mysterious is the question: “Why did Rand Paul’s neighbor feel compelled to beat the shit out of him?”
“Outside of New England,” Paul added, “we’ve had a relatively benign course for this virus nationwide, and I think the one-size-fits-all, that we’re going to have a national strategy and nobody’s going to go to school, is kind of ridiculous.”
Ironically enough, he said this right before he got schooled.
Rand Paul’s arrogance and condescension know no bounds.
Like a mountain,”because he was there”. Good enough for me.
Says the King of Arrogance.
Could someone pass me a brick so I can throw it at this idiot.
People are dying right and left and he asks the experts to be more humble. Why doesn’t he ask for that from the master liar?
Did anyone point out to RP that New York is not part of “New England”?
What would Ayn Rand Paul possibly know about humility?
“Outside of New England,” Paul added, “we’ve had a relatively benign course for this virus…
Someone who flunks geography should fucking shut up around a real scientist.
I don’t expect an ignorant piece of shit like Rand Paul to know much but he’s seems completely unaware that, of all of the New England states, only MA has been hard hit by the virus.
NY, NJ, PA, DE, VA, and all the taxes/none of the representation non-state DC are all Mid-Atlantic states, not part of New England.
Festering pile of pigshit Paul should STFU before going out of his way to prove his boundless stupidity.
ETA: CT taken out of my initial list as it is a New England state.
What kind of @#$& sociopath classifies the coronavirus epidemic in the other 44 states as “benign”?
Other officials, Fauci said, are in a position to give advice about reopening the country economically. But, he said, “I don’t give advice about economic things. I don’t give advice about anything other than public health.”
You know who’s giving ego serving financial advice to aid in his reelection? Right…the Don and his hubris is literally killing Americans and will continue to do so.
What a miserable POS! He knows damn well that Dr. Fauci isn’t making these decisions, that governors and their health advisers are. But he’s got to put on his Ayn Rand hat and spew Republitarian nonsense.
Real doctor smacks down a phony doctor.
Rand Paul asking someone else for humility? O the irony! The humanity! The asshole!
Rand Paul has no more cred in this topic than a CPA. He’s a self certified ophthalmologist that hasn’t practiced in a long time. He a politician now. Fauci has more cred here then just about anyone in the USA. Given that what a perverse show that was.
Given that the dim Paul is one of the Senate’s leading preening jackasses, this is especially rich.
Even worse is this combination of lies and stupidity: “but there are people on the other side who are saying there’s not going to be a surge and that we can safely open the economy.” Lets unpack this: one side, virtually all the experts in epidemiology and public health. The other side? Dr. Drumpfenfuhrer and his lickspittle fascist enablers. Who to believe? Is a puzzlement.
Rand Paul is a piece of shit and vies daily with #MoscowMitchMcConnell as to who the bigger one is for Kentucky.
Rand’s comments are particularly troublesome considering that Gov. Beshear announced yesterday that we now have a 10-year-old on a ventilator. Of course for Rand to know that, he would have to actually represent Kentucky and not his own self interests.
Rand Paul?
Mitch McConnell?
Matt Bevin?
Time for some deep soul-searching, Kentucky Voters. At least you wised up on Bevin. One down, two to go…
