Rand Paul opposes new mandates, calling them a power grab that goes against logic and science.
Sen. Rand Paul Slams Mask and Vaccine Mandates as a “Tragedy”
During an appearance on Jesse Watters Primetime, Sen. Rand Paul (R-KY) passionately criticized the new notions of mask and vaccine mandates, labeling them as a “tragedy.” He expressed his frustration with the “hysteria” being fueled by liberal commentators, accusing them of financially benefiting medical and pharmaceutical companies.

“These people are so conflicted,” Paul stated. “It’s incredibly dishonest to have individuals who profit from promoting a product appear on air and amplify this hysteria. It goes against all logic, science, and common sense.”
The Kentucky Republican’s remarks come in response to Morris Brown College in Atlanta, Georgia, announcing a renewed mask mandate. Furthermore, approximately 100 colleges are still enforcing vaccine mandates, as reported by No College Mandates, an organization that monitors COVID-19 mandates on college campuses.
Rutgers University, one of the institutions mandating vaccines, has even threatened to disenroll students who refuse to comply.
“That university that wants to enforce masking and extensive testing? Zero cases,” Paul pointed out. “But what’s even worse is that even during the peak of COVID in 2020, the death rate for young, healthy individuals was close to zero. The CDC refuses to release the data, but Germany has made all their data public, and not a single young, healthy person died. Mandating masks is a crime. Mandating vaccines, which do carry some risks for young, healthy individuals, is also a crime.”
“These people have no shame,” he added passionately.

Paul predicted that if sweeping mandates continue to rise, there will be resistance.
“I promise you, we will not passively accept it again,” the senator declared. “There will be more resistance next time. We will fight back and expose the fact that they are profiting from this. These are not noble individuals. They are profiting off of us and exploiting the generated hysteria.”
