GOP Senator Takes Another Shot at Fauci, Suggests Biden Should 'Burn' His Mask to Promote Vaccines

Republican Kentucky Sen. Rand Paul took another shot Wednesday at Dr. Anthony Fauci’s insistence that vaccinated people should continue to wear masks before suggesting that President Joe Biden “burn” his in order to promote coronavirus vaccines.

“You might get run over by a car, you might get hit by a meteor,” Paul told Fox News anchor Martha MacCallum during a Wednesday afternoon “The Story” appearance. “The science is about proving that things are happening. If Dr. Fauci can prove that people who are vaccinated are spreading the disease, I will listen to him. If he can prove that people like me who have already had it are spreading the disease, I’ll listen to him. But there is no evidence of that.”

“If you want more people to get vaccinated, Joe Biden should go on national TV, take his mask off, and burn it,” he continued. “Light a torch to it and burn his mask and say, ‘I’ve had the vaccine, I am now safe from this plague. If you’ll get the vaccine, you can be safe too.'”
