Rand Paul has always been a spiteful, petty little B-word.

You know what this is really all about?

He was outraged that Fauci was listened to instead the him and his, 'herd immunity' nonsense.

"News Wrap: Fauci rejects Rand Paul's claims on herd immunity
Sep 23, 2020

In our news wrap Wednesday, Dr. Anthony Fauci expressed cautious optimism during a Senate hearing about the outlook for a reliable coronavirus vaccine.

But when Republican Sen. Rand Paul argued that herd immunity is working, Fauci shot back, "if you believe that...you are alone."

Rand Paul is RFK Jr. without the raccoon penis.

No doubt violating HIPPA laws is grounds for losing his accreditation from the NBO.

It is if there's a mutating virus, and morons aren't taking vaccines, masking, or keeping distance.

Your freedom to go to applebees was more important than your neighbors life. That's why fauci is the scapegoat for your moral failure.

HEY!

I have a Constitutional RIGHT to go to Applebees!

It's right there in Two Corinthians.

It's been six years, we now know the worst fears about Fauci's Temu engineered virus were false.

Unfortunately the English language does not have a word to describe someone who steals another's diary to expose their personal thoughts to be used against them in a violation of their privacy.

We need a new word.

We have:

Privacy Violator
Intruder
Snoop / Nosy Parker
Gossipmonger
Blackmailer
Doxxer
Exposer
Troll
Saboteur
Betrayer

We need a new word! I guess in the meantime " fucking retard" will have to do.

Paul, as a physician, knew that he was required to do that. Hell, any honest man would know to do that. That he didn't suggested that he was fixated on finding dirt on Fauci, all other considerations rescinded.

Exactly one of the reasons we have mass vaccinations.

It's the MAGA way to re-visit and re-visit and re-visit the past until some semblance of a tale being told that shows Donald Trump didn't eff some thing up, but is a genius.

This Fauci thing is just another example of that. Like what MAGA tries to do with J6. Like Trump is currently trying to do to that poor man in relation to that reflecting pool.

That's the difference between us.
We learn things as new information becomes available.
You don't.

From the article: "If I was a victimizer in the Epstein files, my name would have been redacted," Adelman said. "Instead, I am an innocent and productive member of society, who has donated her time and body to NIH for research that will benefit millions of people " yet MY name and information is blasted to the national news."

That kind of says it all.

Anyone else in the medical profession would be subject to sanctions and discipline.

These prikkkks believe they're above it all.

I think somebody should publish Rand Paul's entire medical history. We

Turnabout is fair play, right?
