Republican Sen. Rand Paul of Kentucky warned that hysteria over COVID-19 was returning, citing the resumption of mask mandates.
Rosemary Hills Elementary School in Montgomery County, Maryland, imposed a mask mandate for certain students Tuesday, citing the presence of COVID-19 cases in a letter sent to parents. Paul addressed the trend of schools reimposing mandates, warning that many left-wing politicians were eager to impose more strict COVID-19 restrictions.
“We need to get over ourselves, leave these kids alone, and those who are vulnerable, those older, immuno-compromised, take special precautions for them but the young and healthy, let’s leave them the hell alone,” Paul told Fox Business host Larry Kudlow.
Paul took aim at Dr. Anthony Fauci, who retired as chief medical advisor to President Biden in November. The two men clashed multiple times over COVID-19, including the origins of the virus.

“Even our buddy Anthony Fauci now admits for the public at large, masks don’t work. He still has the crazy notion, individually they work, but they don’t work for large groups,” Paul said. “They did not work to change the transmission of virus. One thing we know the masks did and the lockdowns did, was hurt children, and took away from children the opportunity to learn in school so we shouldn’t let it happen again. We should get away from any kind of mandates with masks, but with mandatory vaccines for kids, because we now know no healthy children died from this.”
Paul also took aim at those who bemoaned the number of unvaccinated people.
“Frankly people are pretty smart and Fauci and the others never got this. Oh, not enough people have been vaccinated. That’s a lie,” Paul said. “Over age 65, 97% of people got vaccinated. Under age 20, less than 10% got vaccinated. People are smart. They knew who was dying from the virus and who was subject to it and who was vulnerable. The vulnerable people got vaccinated. The not so vulnerable people said get away from me, Dr. Fauci.”
“The thing is, that’s what happens with freedom. People do make their decisions, but it is the difference between conservatives and liberals,” Paul added. “We respect people to make their own decisions. Liberals think the American public is too stupid, they need a czar, an Anthony Fauci to tell them what to do.”

IMPORTANT NOTE TO WND READERS: Today’s ruling elites champion policies every previous generation of Americans would have regarded as outright evil. At the top of that list would be the supremely radioactive issue – illuminated by the hit summer film “Sound of Freedom” – of the widespread trafficking and sexual slavery of children, as well as the shocking prevalence of pedophiles in the United States of America. Indeed, the U.S. is the largest market for child sexual abuse in the world.
According to Tim Ballard, who has led many missions rescuing sex-trafficked children around the world, the Biden administration actually ENABLES AND PROMOTES the trafficking and sexual slavery of children with its horrendous border policies, its push for early sexualization of children, championing children’s “right to consent” on everything including mutilating transgender surgeries, and so on.
“Pedophiles are sitting back right now,” says Ballard, “and going, ‘We’ve been pushing this agenda for decades, and now we don’t have to push any more, because the left is taking care of it for us’ – IN AMERICA!”
Ballard’s concerns are confirmed by Tara Lee Rodas, a Health and Human Services whistleblower who recently testified before Congress that under Joe Biden, “THE U.S. GOVERNMENT HAS BECOME THE MIDDLEMAN IN A LARGE-SCALE, MULTI-BILLION-DOLLAR CHILD TRAFFICKING OPERATION.”
But that’s just the beginning. The whole, secret criminal mega-enterprise of child sex trafficking and the global elites’ affinity for pedophilia is exposed as never before in the August issue of WND’s critically acclaimed monthly Whistleblower magazine, in a groundbreaking issue titled “THE NEW AMERICAN SLAVE TRADE: How the Biden regime enables and promotes child sex trafficking in the U.S.A.” WHISTLEBLOWER is available in both the popular print edition and a state-of-the-art digital version, either single issues or discounted annual subscriptions.
