Rand Paul lambasted Dr. Anthony Fauci on Wednesday for causing \u201chysteria\u201d over the Omicron variant without basing it on science.<\/p>\n<p>Paul appeared Wednesday on Fox News\u2019 \u201cAmerica\u2019s Newsroom,\u201d where he commented on the recent <a href=\"https:\/\/dailycaller.com\/2021\/12\/08\/european-cdc-omicron-deaths-coronavirus-covid-19\/\">scientific findings<\/a> of the mildness of symptoms among patients who contracted the <a href=\"https:\/\/dailycaller.com\/2021\/12\/01\/first-known-case-omicron-identified-california-cdc\/\">Omicron variant<\/a> of COVID-19.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis shouldn\u2019t surprise any of us,\u201d the senator said. \u201cDr. Fauci routinely ignores the science, causes hysteria, and creates fear. This is the opposite of what you really want as far as someone leading your public health effort [is concerned].\u201d<\/p>\n<p><strong>WATCH<\/strong>:<\/p>\n<p>Paul noted that the South African scientist who discovered the new strain \u2014 a finding that has prompted the introduction of <a href=\"https:\/\/dailycaller.com\/2021\/11\/26\/joe-biden-travel-restrictions-south-africa-coronavirus-variant-omicron\/\">travel restrictions<\/a> by President Joe Biden\u2019s administration \u2014 has reported zero cases of hospitalization or death from the Omicron variant in her country. <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/dailycaller.com\/2021\/12\/07\/axios-poll-omicron-variant-holiday-travel-coronavirus-covid\/\">(RELATED: POLL: Americans Aren\u2019t Cowering In Fear Of Omicron Variant)<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>\u201cSo, you\u2019re banning travel, which will destroy economically tourism and travel [industries] and have great hardship for the world, but you\u2019re doing it for something that\u2019s not scientifically sound,\u201d Paul stated.<\/p>\n<p>The Omicron variant, which has been said to show a <a href=\"https:\/\/dailycaller.com\/2021\/12\/06\/anthony-fauci-omicron-covid-migrants\/\">higher transmissibility rate<\/a> than its predecessors, like Delta, has a potential of becoming the new dominant strain and eventually putting an end to the pandemic, Paul hypothesized.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIn 1918, when we had the Spanish flu, we never knew where it went. It just went away,\u201d he explained. \u201cMaybe it became \u2026 a less lethal virus, and people didn\u2019t know, cause we didn\u2019t do the testing. And maybe, all of a sudden, people were getting colds again and not deadly flu.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Fauci <a href=\"https:\/\/dailycaller.com\/2021\/12\/07\/anthony-fauci-omicron-less-severe-delta\/\">said<\/a> Tuesday that the Omicron variant is \u201calmost certainly \u2026 not more severe\u201d than the still-dominant Delta variant.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Republican Kentucky Sen.
