Rand Paul First Senator To Announce He Won’t Get COVID-19 Vaccine

Authored by Jack Phillips via The Epoch Times,

Sen. Rand Paul (R-Ky.) announced this weekend that he will not get vaccinated against COVID-19, explaining that he already contracted the virus last year and has “natural immunity.”

Paul, who is an ophthalmologist, said that he has not seen evidence proving the vaccine is more effective than having survived the CCP (Chinese Communist Party) virus, otherwise known as the novel coronavirus, so he won’t get the shot.

“Until they show me evidence that people who have already had the infection are dying in large numbers, or being hospitalized or getting very sick, I just made my own personal decision that I’m not getting vaccinated because I’ve already had the disease and I have natural immunity,” Paul, who appears to be the first senator to announce he won’t get vaccinated, told WABC 770 AM on Sunday, according to news reports.

Paul has made similar remarks in the past when interviewed about vaccines. Sen. Ron Johnson (R-Wis.), who also recovered from COVID-19, suggested he wouldn’t get vaccine earlier this year.

Paul tested positive for COVID-19 in March 2020, becoming the first senator to contract the virus. At the time, Paul said he did not develop any notable symptoms and wasn’t hospitalized.

The senator also noted that the pressure from various institutions to get vaccinated flies in the face of individual liberty.

“In a free country you would think people would honor the idea that each individual would get to make the medical decision, that it wouldn’t be a big brother coming to tell me what I have to do,” Paul said in the interview, suggesting that the pressure campaign around vaccines could be an attempt to manufacture consent for other power grabs.

“Are they also going to tell me I can’t have a cheeseburger for lunch? Are they going to tell me that I have to eat carrots only and cut my calories?” the Kentucky senator said.

“All that would probably be good for me, but I don’t think big brother ought to tell me to do it.”

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) has recommended that people who have recovered from the CCP virus get vaccinated, arguing that health officials don’t know how long natural immunity lasts.

“Even if you have already recovered from COVID-19, it is possible—although rare—that you could be infected with the virus that causes COVID-19 again,” the CDC says on its website.

Paul’s comments come as some states and municipalities have attempted to place pressure on businesses trying to reopen by ascertaining whether their employees have been vaccinated.

Last week, Oregon became the first state to require that individuals in workplaces, businesses, and houses of worship show proof of vaccination before entering facilities without wearing masks. And in Santa Clara County, California, health officials issued an order that stipulated businesses are now required to determine the vaccination status of employees.

They are not vaccines.

That is the first truth.

The 2nd truth is it HAS NOT been approved by the FDA.

Actually the first truth should have been it is the mark of the beast, or so they are marketing it as such.

But you are right. Why would anyone be a lab rat where the experience killed all the animals.

Then there is the point that we are free men and should not be told to take something.

Then there is the point that the so called COVID has killed less than the flu.

It can’t be the mark of the beast, though it surely seems like conditioning for it. I know saved people who have gotten the injection. The body of Christ will not be here to even have the opportunity to receive the mark, whatever it turns out to be; an actual marking of some sort, taking the beasts very name, having his number associated with you or a combination of these. The verse is clear on these three things.

Revelation 13:17 KJB… “And that no man might buy or sell, save he that had the mark, or the name of the beast, or the number of his name.”

Can you show me where it states that believers will not be tempted to take the mark? Matthew 24:14 states the Gospel will be preached to the end. Who will preach it, except the saved?

14 And this gospel of the kingdom shall be preached in all the world for a witness unto all nations; and then shall the end come.

Oh, they already have scanners that can be used to scan chips. Nano particles are no different, just smaller. So you could be scanned anywhere, but I have seen hand and head areas a lot.

But if they are going to market it as such, I an not going to take the chance that it is not such. God will provide, so the Bible says so. So there is no need to risk it.

“Can you show me where it states that believers will not be tempted to take the mark? Matthew 24:14 states the Gospel will be preached to the end. Who will preach it, except the saved?”

Since Jesus was speaking to the remnant Jews in Mat 24 and the body of Christ had yet to be formed; it is those very believers who will be resurrected who will preach it. They are not “saved” as we. They must endure to the end of the great tribulation; their salvation comes with Christ’s physical return. Peter explains it to them.

Acts 3:19-21 KJB… “Repent ye therefore, and be converted, that your sins may be blotted out, when the times of refreshing shall come from the presence of the Lord; And he shall send Jesus Christ, which before was preached unto you: Whom the heaven must receive until the times of restitution of all things, which God hath spoken by the mouth of all his holy prophets since the world began.”

When will their sins be blotted out?

When are ours forgiven? Upon realization that we are sinner in need of salvation. Perhaps today for some!

2 Corinthians 6:2 KJB… “(For he saith, I have heard thee in a time accepted, and in the day of salvation have I succoured thee: behold, now is the accepted time; behold, now is the day of salvation.
Colossians 2:13 KJB… “And you, being dead in your sins and the uncircumcision of your flesh, hath he quickened together with him, having forgiven you all trespasses;”

Romans 5:11 KJB… “And not only so, but we also joy in God through our Lord Jesus Christ, by whom we have now received the atonement.”

Peter speaks to a specific church for a specific reason. Paul speaks to a different yet specific church for a different yet specific reason.

I’m not taking it either. But I’ve zero fear that it is the mark. Conditioning, absolutely!!! The offering of the mark occurs during wrath not the dispensation of grace, and we are not appointed unto wrath… 😊

1 Thessalonians 5:9-11 KJB… “For God hath not appointed us to wrath, but to obtain salvation by our Lord Jesus Christ, Who died for us, that, whether we wake or sleep, we should live together with him. Wherefore comfort yourselves together, and edify one another, even as also ye do.”

Less than 50% of the CDC has been vacinated. We don’t know how long natural immunity lasts and we don’t know how long the vaccine immunity lasts or the long term side effects of it. We do know that the virus might kill you and that the vaccine might kill you. We’re in unchartered territory with both the virus and the vaccine.

Russian studies with Sars that they followed up with on SARS-2 indicate about 70% of the population is immune to coronaviruses at any given time. They are pretty ubiquitous and similar.

Unlike western propaganda journals, their numbers are still reflected by reality.

The millions of people who have contracted and beat the Sars 1 Corona virus from 2003 have been found to have lasting immunity. The doctor on Tucker Carlson recently confirmed this. They believe the Sars 2 virus is genetically 80% similar to Sars 1 and it’s extremely likely that individuals contracting Sars 2 will also obtain lasting immunity.

There is not “vaccine” immunity. the shot is not a vaccine. It cannot prevent a person from getting the virus or spreading the virus, in a word, USELESS. It can and does however kill.

Euro Data to May 21st, 10,570 deaths and 405,250 injuries, their word, not mine. In America VAERS reports to May 17th, 4,057 deaths, 11,572 hospitalizations, and 25,603 trips to urgent care.

Yes it can kill you. In saner times a 100 deaths would have required the immediate cessation of the complete vaccine program, but hey, it no longer matters how many people are killed “if it only saves one life”.

They have not demonstrated that “spike protein” epitopes are sufficient to confer immunity. Considering how “natural immunity” has played out, I could speculate that they are not. However, it would have been reasonable to consider the spike protein was the primary source of pathogenicity. That was my hypothesis from the beginning. Ask my wife, she will remember it as one of those events I attempted to boor her. Makes you go hmmm. And then wonder why they are trying to kill people with such a weak weapon.

Good on him! But he could have really done some serious truth telling had gone a step further and said:

1. SARS-CoV-2 has never been isolated therefore Covid 19 does not exist.
2. The injections are not vaccines.
3. The injections have not been approved.
4. The injections have not been tested, the testing is occurring right now with human guinea pigs.
5. Because the injections do not prevent one from acquiring or giving a virus what is the point.
6. The injection makers have no liability for their products.
7. Why are the makers and government not concerned with the VAERS data?
7. Why the push to violate the Nuremberg Code?

What we know is the government lies, all the time, about everything.
What we know is the Pharmaceutical companies have been caught time and again marketing drugs and vaccines they knew were defective, dangerous, and deadly, and either get away with it, or get fined for killing and maiming people.
Why anyone in their right mind would trust either of these two entities is way beyond my understanding.

It falls right into place with the Gotthard Tunnel Opening ceremony….in-your-face Satanism. That happy event happened four years after the 2012 ceremony. All the ‘leaders’ of the EU were there, guess they needed to express their fealty. Eight years from the 2012 Olympics. Wonder what they have in store for 2024?

Does anyone know anyone who got the measles, mumps, chickenpox, or any other childhood illness and THEN got the vaccine for it later in life? A vaccine (these are genetic experiments) is a supposedly “safer” means to expose your body to a virus so that it will create memory T-cells that will respond in the future to a real infection. That is EXACTLY what happens when you have a real infection and why people who have gotten the disease never get it again or get it with significantly reduced symptoms. Reduced symptoms is about the best they are “promising” with these gene concoctions. Good for Rand.

I caught the measles when my mom delivered my sibling and was not able to be at home. I was 13 mos old. I stayed with my grands for weeks and hated my mom and sis when I returned, but not my dad. He came to see me every day. I’d have to dig to see if I subsequently had a measles vacc.

My Dad was in the Army so every time we were posted overseas we had to get vaccinated. I was vaccinated for Yellow Fever for a posting to Germany…go figure. I never got the measles, mumps or other childhood disease vaccines and…I had measles, mumps and chickenpox as a kid. I survived.

Good point, but I believe the confusion comes from the idea that the Corona virus 2 is more akin to a cold or flu and we know that in those instances, you do not have lasting immunity. I don’t agree with that assessment, but it’s out there.

The question is…. what kind of immunity do these so called “vaccines”provide. There are many instances of the “vaccinated” getting Covid after vaccination. The vaccine companies are already talking about the need for boosters at 6 months.
It has been shown natural immunity lasting at least 17 years.
Furthermore these Covid injections are not effective at all against respiratory acquired infections because the virus is outside of cells ( nose, pharynx, larynx, bronchial tree, lungs) and the “vaccines”are only somewhat effective against intracellular virons.
Dr. Paul has it right.

I like the quote about people should get vaccinated because they don’t know how long natural immunity will last. Hell, there is no immunity produced with the not vaccines, as there is no virus present in them to create an immunity. You cannot build immunity to that which is not presented.
