BY JORDAN WILLIAMS - 05/23/21 07:00 AM EDT4

Sen. Rand Paul (R-Ky.) said Sunday that he will not be getting vaccinated against COVID-19.

During an interview with John Catsimatidis on his radio show on WABC 770 AM, Paul, an ophthalmologist, said he he’s making the personal decision because he’s already had COVID-19.

Paul tested positive for COVID-19 in March 2020. At the time, he was the first known senator to have contracted the disease.

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) recommends those that have recovered from COVID-19 to get vaccinated because experts are unsure how long natural immunity lasts.

1. Maybe Round Two will finish the job.

If it weren't for the inevitable variants that will continue to plague us because of antivaxxers and antimaskers, I'd be perfectly happy to let disease take the attention-craving quack dipshit.

[3Hotdogs]

14. Come on, Jesus.

Don't let me down this time.

[Roy Rolling]

40. Thoughts and Prayers

We are praying to God for him, if you know what I mean.

[COL Mustard]

80. Psalm 109:8

Applies to TFG, MTG and others.

May his days be few; may another take his place of leadership.

[Glaisne]

32. I'm willing to pitch in

for a one way flight for him to India.

[2naSalit]

41. +1

[Comfortably_Numb]

56. Yep..... no "half measures"

[COL Mustard]

79. We Can Only Hope.

I don't normally wish for people's deaths, but Rand is right up there with Rush in my book.

[brush]

84. Somebody call his neighbor, please.

[NurseJackie]

90. Fingers crossed!

[Diamond_Dog]

2. And this POS is a doctor??

[Botany]

9. "And this POS is a doctor??"

Well kind of but he didn't get accredited by American Board of Ophthalmology so he invented
his own ophthalmology association and accredited himself. Or something like that but I am too
lazy to look it up myself right now.

Hopefully he'll get another dose C-19, get sick, and die. I'm tired of these assholes causing
more problems, sickness, and deaths by spreading misinformation to the dumb asses MAGA
mouth breathers of America.

BTW I'm willing to bet that he has already gotten the vaccine and is just lying to us for
political purposes.

[FBaggins]

26. That's not quite correct

He was indeed certified by a board that he created, but not because the ABO wouldn’t accredit him (in fact they previously had done so)

[yellowdogintexas]

75. that is correct! he was fully licensed to practice medicine in KY

and did complete a residency in Ophthalmological surgery at Duke. He and some other younger Ophth doctors walked out of the ABO raised their rates but only grandfathered the older members. So they took their toys and made their own club. Reminds me of kids and their clubhouses! There teeny little feelings were hurt because they were treated differently from the older MDs

11. Just a Rug Doctor in my book

[OldBaldy1701E]

3. It always amazes me

When I see a Dunning Kruger display from someone who has a college degree. Which may tell us something about both the pervasiveness of the syndrome and that 'higher learning' may not be the best descriptor of a secondary education. Or, it may be too much of a descriptor... depends on what one did during that time, I guess.

[AllyCat]

4. Yet another person who should know how immunity works

denying the science and only thinking of himself. At this point, I just hope he doesn't take anyone else with him when he inevitably gets sick again.

[Botany]

10. I bet ya that Paul just like Tucker Carlson has gotten the vaccine and is just lying about for ...

... political purposes.

[Diamond_Dog]

16. Wouldn't surprise me

Like the Orange Disaster got his back in January but kept it hushed up so it wouldn’t make him look “weak”

[oldsoftie]

20. Carlson got it? I didnt know that.

I'm surprised he isnt getting death threats because of it

[Botany]

21. I'm willing to bet you that he and his family have all been vaccinated and his anti-vax stuff is ...

... just an act.

[Jetheels]

27. Yeah, I'm sure he got vacced early on.

This “I’m not getting vacced” bs is just to appeal to the Qanons.

[Skittles]

58. I think that happens a LOT with repukes

they put the interests of the cult above America, but they are selfish bastards and will always do what they think benefits them

[2naSalit]

66. I think you may be right about that...

I wouldn't put anything past that weasel-faced piece of shit.

[Botany]

71. "That weasel-faced piece of shit."

Can you please let me know what you really think?

[2naSalit]

86. Well...

If I did, I'd likely be punished for it.

[DENVERPOPS]

54. Should know.....key words

Maybe a laser light inserted into some opening of his body, or perhaps a hit of lysol in his blood or lungs.

Even better yet would be an injection of KCL...

[Layzeebeaver]

5. Next Disney film: The Ophthalmologist who couldn't see straight.

Coming soon...

Starring Ann Rand Paul Ryan, with the resurrected corpse of Charlton Heston

[kacekwl]

6. Good forbid this clown

set an example for those who haven't had covid. Just showboating for the dummies.

[LetMyPeopleVote]

7. Rand Paul is an idiot who tried to infect his fellow senators

[YoshidaYui]

8. May Covid

find you Rand Paul... and introduces itself.

[Layzeebeaver]

12. They're already acquainted

unfortunately, it was a brief fling.

[jimfields33]

13. 6 senators have not been vaccinated. I believe 94 percent of the senate has been vaccinated.

Who are the other 5?????? Come on media.

[oldsoftie]

17. Amazing how much higher the rate is among the oldsters!

even the republican ones. Assuming the 5 are all GOP, that means 45 HAVE gotten vaccinated

[FBaggins]

25. I think it's down to three

And two of the three have previously been infected.

The lone holdout appears to be Braun (IN), who is still thinking about it and has concerns about the use of fetal tissue.

[niyad]

37. Somebody should tell braun that the pope said use of fetal tissue was not an issue.

[Blue Owl]

15. You show 'em, dumbass

[FarPoint]

18. How much do you want to bet,....

He is a LIAR!~ He probably got his vaccination when tRump did...something along the early cycle of vaccinations..

His entire mission is obstruction of any successful Biden Administration ...will to do so at the risk of Americans dying...

[no_hypocrisy]

19. Emanating from a graduate of a medical school and certified to practice medicine.

[mpcamb]

22. Just when I thought his neighbor knocked some sense into him...

OK, sorry...
It's so-o inappropriate, but I couldn't help myself.

[Maine Abu El Banat]

23. No Problem

If there is a God, Rand the resistor will be in a ICU, struggling to take his next breath.

[tanyev]

24. You had Covid over a year ago and there are new variants out there, Rand. Good luck with that.

I guess.

[Paladin]

28. Suits me. The world would be a better place without him. (nt)

[Captain Zero]

87. And Kentucky does have a DEM GOVERNOR TO NAME HIS REPLACEMENT.

NT

[area51]

29. Ok, Rand

CDC: "Yes, you should be vaccinated regardless of whether you already had COVID-19."

That took me all of two seconds to google.

[llashram]

30. who cares

the lying POS is just like his boss. My CT is they have both been vaccinated early and to keep their base agitated said they weren't. When that walking POS d. trump allegedly caught Covid I did not believe it. And he had already been vaccinated.

Thanks needed that off my chest

[RicROC]

31. parasites.

I just came from our monthly class reunion (20+ people) and I'll bet 90% refuse to get vax'd. They had various reasons, but if I could mention a couple themes:
...... now that everyone else is vax'd and I've lucked out not getting COVID, I should be safe. A second theme is that vaccinations cause blood clots and it's not worth the risk.

To me that's a parasitic attitude. Let someone else take the risk, and once everyone else is vax'd, then they won't need to be vax'd. (or a side parallel issue, don't won't give aid to the poor because those people don't work and are parasites)

Of course, it takes longer for community immunity (formerly: herd), some people will die from COVID, one out of 17 million will get a blood clot, but then the statistics are higher for someone having an blood clot just being old and alive.
They are worried about the one chance in 17 million for having a blood clot (?)

[SoCalDavidS]

33. So You'll Keep Going To These Reunions?

Perhaps you should get new people to hang out with monthly. I can't imagine going out of my way to be among a group of people, where 90% of them are fucking Selfish, Self Centered Morons.

[gab13by13]

34. Another "The Hill" article, amazing.

[Rebl2]

35. Just because

you had Covid doesn’t mean you are now immune you idiot. Fine by me if you don’t get vaccinated. In a few more months you will be vulnerable to it again and you may not be so lucky the next time. Of course he could secretly get the vaccine and then go around saying see immunity after having Covid lasts forever.

[Maggiemayhem]

36. Daddy Ron Paul has commercials on our local station WDVM in Hagerstown Md

Same message for years, financial collapse and protect yourself with his products. Amazed people believe his bull.

[niyad]

38. aqua buddha is such a disgusting waste of resources.

[PJMcK]

39. PAUL IS A FUCKING LIAR

He's already been vaccinated.

Bank on it.

He's a typical GOP coward and liar. He got his shots on the down-low.

[OnDoutside]

49. Unfortunately you are probably correct.

[monkeyman1]

78. check hid paper's - might have trump university on it !

[Bayard]

42. Assholes like Rand Paul

Spreading lies on the airwaves.

I'm having this discussion with my trumper brother right now--What do you mean you haven't been vaccinated? "Not even the CDC knows what's in there. I'll wait and see what happens to all you guinea pigs." You think Bill Gates will be tracking you? Your wife, both kids and their families, have all been vaccinated. We've both had them. I know you're smarter than this. Isn't your life worth it? Fox news is hazardous to your health.


No reply to that yet.

[Evolve Dammit]

43. Maybe the neighbor will come back for Round 2? Rocky theme starts now....

[Traildogbob]

44. I would say, Kentucky

You are a disgrace to America and democracy. But I live in North Carolina, home of Mark Meadows, Tom Tillis, Burr, and for fucks sake, Cawthorn. And may electric Eric’s Trumps wife in 2022. I know it is not my fault, so all you sane Kentuckians, I fill your pain. And for someone like McTurtle, so willing to destroy our country and Democracy, easy to understand he did not have to serve during the Civil War, World War 1, World War 2, Korean War, Vietnam, any Middle East war. How did he get out of all those? Shell Spurs? Moscow Mitch and Russia Rand SHOULD be hanged for treason. Are the gallows still outside the Capital? No need to waste that craftsmanship.

[Dan]

55. I for the life of me, can't figure out Kentucky....

[Traildogbob]

60. That could be

Where true election fraud is going on. Mitch had a 15 percent approval, and won easily. Paul......who the hell would vote for him in the first place? Gotta be fraud. Both have close ties to Pootie Poot, and McConnell controls the purse strings for all of GOP candidates. Rand took a trip straight to Moscow around the time that KKKlan went on the 4th of July. Rand went for a personal one on one.

[modrepub]

45. Then Don't Saddle The American Tax Payers

with you medical bills if you get COVID and have to go to ICU. Better yet, stay home and have your family try and take care of you so our health care folks don't have to be exposed because you're recalcitrant.

[lonely bird]

46. OK, Rand

You get it again or somehow spread to your old man and he gets it then you nor he gets treated. You don’t give a fuck, you libertarian asshat, then you pay the consequences.

[seta1950]

47. Oh my Kentucky

Where do they find these guys😤

[lark]

48. All I can wish is righteous karma for him and all other such fucktards.

They don't give a shit if they kill anyone else and are probably lying about the vaccinnation. Don't trust one word this ridiculous ass says.

[Warpy]

50. He's kind of an idiot

While most people who have had the disease don't get it again, there are always a few who don't develop a long lasting immunity, and while most of the tiny percentage who have had second cases have had lighter ones, a few have had a light case followed by a deadly one.

People who have had the disease would do well to get one booster shot. He's just being a dogmatist and a weenie.

[shotten99]

51. This guy is pond scum

[packman]

52. Hey, Paul

[Raven123]

53. At least he is honest about it. His patients are officially warned

[LiberatedUSA]

57. Getting the vaccination isn't just for you jackass.

It is for the benefit of everyone. If we told you liberals feel wiping the ass leads to better personal hygiene, which leads to being healthier, would you refuse to wipe your ass too; which is also for the benefit of others around you?

[LetMyPeopleVote]

59. How did Rand Paul get through med school?

Link to tweet

[11 Bravo]

62. Fuck Rand Paul AND the diseased wombat that lives on top of his head.

Give my best to your neighbor, you mange-ridden whistledick.

[Aussie105]

63. He probably has been vaccinated.

But is acting out for his 'followers', impressionable creatures that they are.

Quick! Someone find his vaccination card! And I don't mind if it needs to be a photoshop, just circulate it around the web.
- just to take the wind out of his sails, you understand.

If he hasn't been vaccinated, well, he will make a beautiful home for some recent strain of the virus.

Hope ICU doesn't mess up his expensive hairstyle too much.

Looking forward to the day a COVID-19 shot is an annual non-event for most just like the flu shot.

[Under The Radar]

64. Hell man, that isn't anything to brag about, impress me by injecting yourself with Covid.

Full dose too. If you do that then I will stand and clap or like your tweet or something

[hadEnuf]

65. Maybe he can punch himself

in the testicles too.

That'll really show Lefty.

[C Moon]

67. I'll bet he's already vaccinated

[louis-t]

68. First known Senator, and stupidest known Senator

to get COVID.

[Mysterian]

69. The Duke University med school should be ashamed of this stupid jerk

WTF are they teaching people down there?

[FakeNoose]

70. They need to rescind his MD degree

Cancel his credential, he's not using it anyway.

[Mr.Bill]

72. I'll just say it,

I hope he catches it again and dies. I'll laugh.

[yellowdogintexas]

73. Fine with me, maybe the Indian Variant will get him

However all this ridiculous rhetoric just adds fuel to the fire of the voters who refuse to get the vaccination.

[Cryptoad]

74. Sounds Good to me,,,,

[roamer65]

76. 🦠

Sounds good to me, too.

[Marrah_Goodman]

77. Why should he be any different then the other morons.

[calimary]

81. FINE, dude. Go ahead and get sick, then.

[bagimin]

82. Why would he?

He's an idiot!

[BobTheSubgenius]

83. Good!!!

I look forward to see you gasping into the camera soon, Randy.

[gopiscrap]

85. Good I hope the worthless fucker gets COVID and dies

[AZ8theist]

88. My thoughts exactly..

[duforsure]

89. Why does he have a choice about his health,

But wants to prevent women from having one, from his vote, over their bodies? Same goes for wearing a mask.

[twodogsbarking]

91. From a friend to y'all.

[FSogol]

92. No one will miss you, Rand.

[SKKY]

93. No, but you still got them hands from your neighbor...

...so, I'm fine with that.

[dlk]

94. Paul proclaims to the world he's ignorant and proud of it

Such a loser!

[BlueWavePsych]

95. Darwin candidate for a variant!

[kyburbonkid]

96. Not much to add about this idiot

... from my state except that he is a useless-shit-for-brains goon.
