Doctor Anthony Fauci appeared before the panel virtually Thursday, shortly after he tested positive for the virus himself. This didn\u2019t stop the 81-year-old from sharing a heated exchange with Kentucky Senator Rand Paul (R).<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p><strong>\u00a0\u201cCan you tell me if anybody on the vaccine approval committees ever received any money from the people who make the vaccines?\u201d Paul demanded.<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>This comes after the FDA green lit Moderna and Pfizer vaccines for kids under the age of five. Paul asked Fauci if he was aware of any studies that show reduction in hospitalization or death for children who take a booster. Fauci said there \u201chasn\u2019t been enough data accumulated.\u201d<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p><strong>\u201cIf I give a patient 10 mRNA vaccines and they make protein each time,\u201d Paul questioned. \u201cIs it true that we should give people 10 boosters?\u201d\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>Prior to his testimony Fauci argued booster shots have shown to significantly reconstruct and enhance the level of antibodies that neutralize Omicron and other variants. Despite this claim, he received two booster shots before testing positive for the virus.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Congress provided $1.9 trillion for COVID-19 response last year.<\/p>\n<p>Yet the Biden Admin can\u2019t provide clear answers on where it went \u2013 even as they ask for billions more.<a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/SenatorBurr?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">@SenatorBurr<\/a>: &#8220;Where&#8217;s that money gone?
