You're either young or not American. Rand Paul has been anti vaccination forever

https://www.pbs.org/newshour/politics/rand-pauls-vaccine-claims-microscope

"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.

    Again. Rand Paul has stomped around for over a decade telling people to be wary of vaccines, that they cause autism, mental disorders and that they're overall unhealthy. Meanwhile he is vaccinated.

    I don't know why you're being straight up frustratingly stupid about it.

    The point is whenever Rand Paul says fuck all about vaccines the first thing to note is HE IS VACCINATED. He's a hypocrite and he is trying to grift people.

    He knows there are Americans who have been convinced by religion and lack of education and people like him to think vaccines aren't good, so he's preying on that WHILE HE IS VACCINATED.

    He would not be allowed to do the things he does if he wasn't. It doesn't matter what he says in this tweet, he should shut the fuck up about vaccinations because the rest of us know he's lying.

    There is no reason to ever listen to this man about vaccinations.

    It's not meant to be a gotcha, it's not meant to SLAM or OWN or ANNIHILATE Rand Paul. I'm not Ben Shitpiro. Again, if he says fuck all about vaccines know, he is vaccinated and he's trying to grift.

    Okay? Okay.
