Rand Paul is vaccinated. Reminder to tell anyone who brings him up that fact.
He doesn’t seem to be claiming he isn’t vaccinated.
RP: hotdogs might not be healthy Lemmy users: you once at a hotdog hahahaha owned noob!
You're either young or not American. Rand Paul has been anti vaccination forever

"On Friday night in Iowa, Paul faced likely voters in the state's leadoff nominating caucuses for the first time since answering questions about a measles outbreak centered in California. Paul said Monday that he had heard about "many tragic cases" of children who got vaccines and ended up with "profound mental disorders."
That assertion has no basis in medical research, and Paul clearly was still upset on Friday about how his comments had been received"
This is from early 2015, before COVID btw.
The tweet isn’t any kind of “own.” It doesn’t contradict Rand Paul. Everyone here thinking like this is some really clever gotcha moment … they’re just kind of telling on themselves.
All conservatives are. Even the most vehement anti-vax ones.
Fox News didnt let anyone in the building without a vaccine card at one point.
But conservative voters always conveniently ignore and pretend not to remember all of this.
