He called on the government to quit promoting the \u201chysteria\u201d coming from the likes of Dr. Anthony Fauci.<\/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>\u201cIt\u2019s tragic, and the thing is the science doesn\u2019t support closing schools down,\u201d Paul declared. \u201cIn Sweden, the schools have stayed open continuously for the last year and a half. They don\u2019t wear masks. The kids are not dying. The teachers are not dying. Really, there is no science behind closing the schools down. Now, it used to be the policy and had been the policy for most of modern medicine, that if kids were sick, they were sent home, and if a bunch of kids were sick, then we might close the schools for a couple of days. But we are not doing that. We are doing mass testing of people who are not sick. We are sending people home who have no symptoms, and then we\u2019re testing whole classes and sending more home. And it ripples out until the whole school is sent home, but it isn\u2019t really based on the way you would actually do this if you were using any common sense.\u201d<\/p>\n<figure id=\"M-ROS-B2\" class=\"a8d\"><\/figure>\n<p>\u201cWe now have a virus that is so prevalent that it\u2019s going to infect the entire United States, and we are going to get through this,\u201d he continued. \u201cBut, if you look at the death statistics, the death statistics are 75% reduction in death from the Delta variant to the Omicron \u2014 75% reduction in death. And so what we\u2019re dealing with is now a different disease, and it needs to be treated differently. We need to get rid of the hysteria. But the people who are promoting this hysteria work for the government. This is Dr. Fauci\u2019s fault largely because he\u2019s still hysterically talking about mandates and shutting people down and not letting people fly and blaming the unvaccinated. Everybody is getting this \u2014 vaccinated, unvaccinated. In fact, the majority of the people in the hospital now are vaccinated because almost everybody\u2019s been vaccinated.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><em>Follow Trent Baker&nbsp;on Twitter&nbsp;<a class=\"x5l\" href=\"http:\/\/twitter.com\/MagnifiTrent\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener external\">@MagnifiTrent<\/a><\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Senator Rand Paul (R-KY) on Wednesday pushed back against the recent increase in schools shutting down over fear of the uptick in coronavirus cases.
