WASHINGTON, D.C. Today, U.S. Senator Rand Paul (R-KY) announced that he will no longer be posting videos to YouTube unless it is to criticize the platform or announce that viewers can see his content on Rumble.com, where they dont censor the news.Today I begin my exodus from Big Tech, starting with the worst censor of all, YouTube,said Dr. Paul.As a libertarian leaning Senator, I think private companies have the right to ban me if they want to, however, those of us who believe that truth comes from disputation and that the marketplace of ideas is a prerequisite for innovation should shun the close-minded censors and take our ideas elsewhere, which is exactly what Im doing.Over the last year, YouTube has continued to wage its dangerous, anti-progress of science war against free speech, choosing to act in lockstep with government and ban videos posted by Dr. Paul that dared to contradict the governments position. These videos included conversations with journalists where he discussed the efficacy of masks, particularly cloth masks, and avideoexplaining the science behind why cloth masks dont work.For journalists and Kentuckians who want to continue receiving updates on Dr. Pauls work in the Senate, you will be able to find fresh, new video content on his Rumble pageHERE.

Dr. Rand Paul Announces He Is Quitting YouTube | Senator ...

Kentucky senator takes on Big Tech censorship, announces he is leaving YouTube.

Sen. Rand Paul, R-Ky., called YouTube the "worst" in Big Tech on "Kudlow" Tuesday, explaining why he decided to officially leave the social media platform.

RAND PAUL: "Mark Twain always said everybody was complaining about the weather, but nobody was doing anything about it. Everybody's always complaining about Big Tech. I decided to do something about it and I said, 'Who's the worst? Who's the worst in Big Tech?' And it's got to be YouTube."

"I mean, they took down a speech that I gave on the Senate floor, for goodness sakes. I mean, how crazy is that? They are so smug, so arrogant and so smart that they think that my speech on the Senate floor is something they disapprove of so much. They're not going to allow anybody to see it. So I don't want any part of that small-minded, closed-minded kind of, you know, very, I think, immature kind of thought process. I want to be associated with people who want to have debate, who want to be part of big ideas, who understand that ideas are how we get to innovation. So I don't want to be associated with these small-minded people."

Hey, Rand Paul is up for re-election and has to get headlines somehow. However, spewing conspiracy theories on OANN seems low, even for him.

Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis used monoclonal antibodies as his "trump" card against Covid infections. He could denounce Covid vaccine mandates because there was the "cure."

Then omicron came. Omicron is resistant to that treatment, and the FDA and the drug companies themselves made it clear they should not be used to treat omicron.

As usual, Republicans like Rand Paul turn this into a conspiracy theory that the FDA is killing Republicans and Florida because apparently, the FDA doesn't like them?

On OANN, Senator Paul said, "People who think we're a bunch of rubes in flyover country, have utter disdain for us. These are the people who actually limit our access to treatment for Covid," Paul said.

Paul continued, "They are, right now, as we speak, limiting monoclonal antibodies being sent to Florida. Too many deplorables, too many Republicans, too many conservatives are getting sick, and so their way to punish us is by not sending treatments, and I think it's abominable."

This is out and out lunacy.

Steve Benen rightly points out, "

The FDA announced this week that the monoclonal antibody treatments from Regeneron and Eli Lilly should no longer be used. The drugs had received emergency-use authorizations, but because they don't work against the omicron variant, and omicron accounts for 99.9 percent of all Covid infections in the United States, federal health regulators decided revoking the authorization was the obvious move. Both drugmakers endorsed the policy change, agreeing that the infusion treatments aren't effective against omicron, so their continued use no longer makes sense.

You will also notice that Republicans like Sen. Paul almost always spread the most despicable conspiracies and misinformation on right-wing outlets like OANN and Newsmax only. But they understand in time, these connivances will slowly percolate up through the underbelly of Rumble, and other Republican fever swamps, until it becomes certified by Fox News.

Digby also figured out DeSantis' scheme gone wrong.

"After all, DeSantis clearly thought he figured out a cunning way to avoid pushing the vaccines and angering the GOPs rabid anti-vax base while still pretending to offer some solution to the raging pandemic. His entire COVID response has been based upon the idea that the monoclonal antibody treatments are the answer. The fact that vaccines offer the best protection against serious disease in the first place was never of interest to DeSantis. Neither was the fact that monoclonal antibody treatments cost around $2,100. Vaccines, meanwhile, cost about $20-$40. For supposed fiscally conservative Republicans, thats quite a waste of government money.

Rand Paul Claims FDA Punishing Republicans By Refusing ...

Sen. Rand Paul, R-Ky., joined "America Reports" Wednesday to react to a new study from Johns Hopkins University that concluded COVID lockdowns did more harm than good because they failed to reduce mortality and were "devastating" to the economy.

RAND PAUL: Lets hope we learnfrom our mistakes.In the 14th century, the popesurrounded himself with candlesbecause they thought theinfection could be burned out ofthe air to save people.It was a wrong-handed notion. It took afew centuries really to the19th century to understand thegerm theory.Now we have lockdowns which are not basedin science, and really we knowthat by and large masks did notwork, Plexiglas did not work,and six feet of distance did notwork.

The one thing we do know thatdid work is vaccines and naturalimmunity.Those worked to protect peoplefrom hospitalization and death and also slow some of thespread.So, we should emphasize whatworks. It was a realdisservice for Dr. Fauci to saycloth masks do work because then you have an80-year-old taking care of theirspouse with COVID and wearing acloth mask that has no valuewhatsoever, and thats a mistake.He caused people to engage inactivities they wouldnt havenormally by telling them it wassafe when it wasnt.I hope we learn from this.The study is an extensiveanalysis looking at dozens anddozens of studies, bringing themtogether, and said lockdowns didnot reduce mortality butwere devastating to the economy.
