Rand Paul: No Scientific Evidence “Tyrannical” Lockdowns Work

Authored by Steve Watson via Summit News,

Senator Rand Paul spoke out Monday against the policy of lockdowns and restrictions, declaring that there is no evidence they are having any impact on the spread of coronavirus, and that those who say they do are not paying attention.

“We ought to at least still use logic to try to figure out how we stop this …,” Paul said in an appearance on Fox News, adding “I don’t see any evidence that crowd control, hand washing, standing six feet apart, all of these things they tell you to do — closing down the restaurants, closing down the schools — there’s no real evidence that they are changing the trajectory of the disease.”

“If you look at the incidence of COVID, it’s going up … exponentially despite all the mandates. So those who say there is science [behind the restrictions] just aren’t paying attention to it,” Paul continued.

Paul, who last week slammed lockdown zealot Dr. Anthony Fauci for doing a complete 180 on schools being closed, urged that “keeping all our kids home isn’t changing the course of this disease.”

“They’ve studied this in four different country-wide studies. They’ve studied the incidence of the disease, they’ve studied the transference of the disease, and they’ve found that closing schools doesn’t work. Even the socialist [New York City Mayor Bill] de Blasio is now opening schools,” the Senator emphasised.

Paul has been calling for schools to be open since the Summer, consistently pointing out that there is no science behind the closures.

Paul explained that he isn’t recommending at risk people just ignore the virus, adding “But I’m also telling you that the government shouldn’t tell you you can’t go to church and the government shouldn’t tell you can’t send your kids to a religious school.”

“There’s good advice and you can take advice and you can give advice. But once you mandate it, it doesn’t become advice. It becomes a form of tyranny,” the Senator asserted.

“So I think the government should not be in the form of mandating these things, because sometimes the science isn’t clear and sometimes they change their mind on the science month to month and week to week,” Paul added.

Senator Paul has vowed to do everything in his power to resist Joe Biden’s “forever lockdowns”.

“He’s going to ruin the country. Lockdowns don’t work. And in fact, all of the evidence on mandatory masks show that they don’t work either,” the Senator urged in an interview last month.

Lockdowns are for prisons and prisoners, silly senator.

Not even Rand can bring up the subject without copious amounts of lying. There is no evidence whatever of any exponential spread of this virus and never has been. All of that relies on PCR tests that can not be used to make any such conclusion.

I’m guessing that Dr. Paul has to play politics a little and he probably knows the numbers are bullshit. If he comes out and says that, then everyone dismisses him even more quickly.

Sure tyranical lockdowns “work” in the sense they are training all us peasants to subjugate ourselves to our govt olverlords and their oligarch masters. Clearly, these mandates are just a bunch of adults playing pretend, as we all have to pretend a cloth mask can stop a virus that is .125 microns wide, thus functionally impossible. But they want everyone to believe that the virus magically disapears after the droplets evaporate… Before this year, no “expert” in their right mind would have said a cloth mask could stop a virus, even n95’s etc aren’t virus protection–they work pretty well vs. dust that’s about it. So if smart people are purposefully lying to everyone, the only real logical conclusion at this point is that it was for political power, gradual habituation of the masses, and to speed up an economic collapse.

I have a new mask, the old one was eight months old but I left it in my car for occasional use. I wonder if my mask was worse for me than the virus? Masks are a conditioning thing for what’s coming.

If you want to know just how bad masks are for anyone, read the paper co-authored by Fauci in 2008 regarding the Spanish flu deaths. Most were from bacterial pneumonia from constant mask wearing. Was he wrong then or wrong now. Was he wrong at the start of the whu who flu or is he wrong now?

The lockdowns are doing exactly what they are intended to do. Some times we give the ptogs credit for just being wrong or stupid when thy are evil. Never forget they are evil.

We all agree, at least more than do not, OK, let’s stand up and stop it.

And the physician who says Covid-19 is a fraud, who refuses to use a mask, who assists patients have access to a proven control as an OUTPATIENT [HCQ] which is outlawed by the FDA has their license to practice revoked.
