On Wednesday, top health officials appeared on Capitol Hill, where lawmakers sparred with them about the administration’s response to the coronavirus and vaccine development.
Dr. Anthony Fauci and Sen. Rand Paul had a heated exchange.
“You’re telling everybody to wear a mask, whether they’ve had an infection or a vaccine. What I’m saying is that they have immunity, and everybody agrees they have immunity,” Paul said. “What studies do you have that people that have had the vaccine or have had the infection or the vaccine are spreading the infection? If we’re not spreading the infection, isn’t that just theater? You’ve had the vaccine and you’re wearing two masks, isn’t that theater?”
“No, it’s not – here we go again with the theater. Let’s get down to the facts,” Fauci responded, …. “look at in-vitro examination of memory immunity” and pointing out that the authors “specifically say, ‘this does not necessarily pertain to the actual protection, it’s in-vitro.”
