Dr. Anthony Fauci, director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, thoroughly embarrassed Republican Senator Rand Paul during a Senate testimony Wednesday after Paul suggested that New York’s covid-19 low infection rate is due to herd immunity. Fauci—in his raspy Brooklyn brogue—politely called out the Senator’s idiocy.
, “To the approximately 2 million New Yorkers and others who got coronavirus and survived, don’t let these busybodies tell you that you don’t have immunity. They want you to be lemmings and do as THEY see fit. RESIST!”
While the antibodies developed by those who have recovered from covid-19 offer protection from the virus, the extent of their effectiveness—and whether it’s possible to contract covid-19 again—is unclear. But this hasn’t stopped Paul from proselytizing the joys of herd immunity, even after more than 200,000 Americans have died from covid-19.
