WHAT DO YOU REALLY THINK?

Visiting a COVID vaccination site on Tuesday, Sen. Sherrod Brown (D-OH) was asked about colleagues who are not wearing masks. He did not mince words, calling Sen. Rand Paul (R-KY) kind of a lunatic, The Columbus Dispatch reported. Paul, he added, thinks he wants to be different but it doesn't serve the public interest. The barb brought a muddled response from Paul, who said in a statement: Vaccine deniers, who dispute immunity after natural infection and after vaccination, should refrain from name-calling and perhaps try to get informed.
Brown is not a vaccine denier: He has been vaccinated and has been urging his constituents to get inoculated. It appears Paul was referring to Brown calling him out in February for not wearing a mask on the Senate floor. Paul claims he is immune since he already had COVID-19, although many public health experts say mask-wearing after infection or after getting the shot is still prudent.

(15,820 posts)1. Did we ever get true verification that Paul did have Covid?
Keep in mind he still got paid during the two weeks he was home with Covid. How do we know he just didnt want to stay home? Not sure why we trust his word.
