Zero cases,&#8221; Paul pointed out. &#8220;But what&#8217;s even worse is that even during the\u2063 peak of COVID in 2020, \u200bthe death rate for young,\u200d healthy\u200c individuals was close to zero. \u200dThe CDC refuses\u2063 to release the data, but Germany has made all \u200dtheir data public, and not a single young, healthy person died. Mandating masks is a \u200dcrime. Mandating vaccines, which do\u2064 carry\u2062 some risks for young, healthy individuals, is\u2063 also a\u2064 crime.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;These people\u200c have no shame,&#8221; \u200dhe added passionately.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/\">Click here\u200c to read more from\u2063 The Washington \u200dExaminer<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Paul predicted that \u200dif sweeping mandates continue \u200bto rise, there will \u2063be \u2062resistance.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I promise you, we \u2062will not passively accept it again,&#8221; the senator declared. &#8220;There will be more resistance next time.
