Dr. Fauci Knocked Sen. Rand Paul Back So Hard You'd Think He Was Paul's Neighbor

Dr. Anthony Fauci, director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, thoroughly embarrassed Republican Senator Rand Paul during a Senate testimony Wednesday after Paul suggested that New York’s covid-19 low infection rate is due to herd immunity. Fauci—in his raspy Brooklyn brogue—politely called out the Senator’s idiocy.

“You’ve lauded New York for their policy,” Paul said during the Senate Health Committee hearing about the nation’s pandemic response. “New York had the highest death rate in the world. How can we possibly be jumping up and down and saying, ‘Oh, Governor Cuomo did a great job!’? He had the worst death rate in the world.”

“No, you’ve misconstrued that, Senator, and you’ve done that repetitively in the past,” Fauci said. “Right now... the things that are going on in New York to get their test positivity one percent or less is because they’re looking at the guidelines we have put together from the task force... masks, social distancing, outdoors more than indoors, avoiding crowds, and washing hands.”

“Or,” Paul interrupted. “They’ve developed enough community immunity that they’re no longer having the pandemic because they have enough immunity in New York City to actually stop it.”

Paul's developed an immunity to anything intelligent.
