Rand Paul: COVID edicts that make no scientific sense deserve a ‘massive boycott’ – Fox News

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.
