Rand Paul (R-KY) on Tuesday offered further critiques of vaccine mandates, reacting to the story of a priest telling unvaccinated people they should not attend holiday church services, prompting the senator to ask if Jesus would have done the same.<\/p>\n<p>During a Christmas Eve appearance on CNN, Father Edward Beck <a href=\"https:\/\/townhall.com\/tipsheet\/katiepavlich\/2021\/12\/25\/priest-tells-unvaccinated-people-not-to-go-to-church-on-christmas-n2601067\">stated<\/a> that \u201cthe unvaccinated\u201d should not attend holiday church services, equating getting the vaccine to following Jesus\u2019s lead in \u201ccaring for one another.\u201d<\/p>\n<figure id=\"D-ROS-B1\" class=\"a8d\"><\/figure>\n<figure id=\"M-ROS-B1\" class=\"a8d\"><\/figure>\n<figure id=\"gmxrevmore\" class=\"H\"><\/figure>\n<p>\u201cThere&nbsp;is no supply chain shortage of love and compassion. I think that what we\u2019re trying to say to people is they you have a social responsibility if you do gather, you know Christian churches many are gathering this evening and some are still not requiring vaccination, which I disagree with,\u201d Beck said during the segment, equating getting the vaccine to acting in a Jesus-like manner:<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p>I think part of caring for one another, the dictum of Jesus who we celebrate his birthday, is love one another. Show compassion. Show mercy to each other. So I think the lesson is that if we want to act like Jesus in these kind of times we take care of each other and if we\u2019re going to gather in celebration we have to do so safely, comfortably and we have to give to one another that gift of peace and part of that is health and feeling like we\u2019re gathering in a healthy environment.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>Even though vaccinated individuals spread the virus as well, that did not stop Beck from adding, \u201cI don\u2019t think there\u2019s a reason to say I\u2019m not going to get vaccinated, maybe for a health reason, then you can\u2019t come to church.\u201d He was clearly proud of that declaration as well, as he reemphasized it on Twitter.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cYep. I said it. I don\u2019t think unvaccinated people should be gathering in churches for Christmas Eve \/ Day Masses. \u2018Love thy neighbor,\u2019 says the Savior,\u201d he said:<\/p>\n<p>\u201cHmmm\u2026Hard to imagine Jesus demanding papers to attend the sermon on the mount after just healing a leper,\u201d Paul said in response to the story:<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Hmmm\u2026Hard to imagine Jesus demanding papers to attend the sermon on the mount after just healing a leper. <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/euFu0irHgs\">https:\/\/t.co\/euFu0irHgs<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u2014 Senator Rand Paul (@RandPaul) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/RandPaul\/status\/1475848476214837255?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">December 28, 2021<\/a><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>Paul has continued to question Dr. Anthony Fauci and the handling of the pandemic over recent months, asserting this week that thousands have likely died due to Fauci deemphasizing the importance of therapeutics in treating the virus:<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Senator Rand Paul on Fauci&#8217;s History of Hindering Therapeutics In Favor of Vaccines<\/p>\n<p>Watch the whole interview with <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/RandPaul?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">@RandPaul<\/a> here: <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/U6ixZGlHO9\">https:\/\/t.co\/U6ixZGlHO9<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/3JdV1uJ4rB\">pic.twitter.com\/3JdV1uJ4rB<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u2014 Ron Paul (@RonPaul) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/RonPaul\/status\/1475546540060069893?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">December 27, 2021<\/a><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Sen.
