Senator Rand Paul gave an exclusive interview with Breitbart News's Editor-In-Chief, Alex Marlow on Sunday where he talked at length about the issue of face masks.
The two of them were together at the Turning Point USA annual youth get-together, where Paul was a keynote speaker.
Marlow commented about Paul's speech that same day, mentioning that as far as current lockdown rules and mask mandates, "you broke it down in a very clear way. Talk to us about it."
Paul responded:
"It’d be one thing if we were told you have to give up your liberty, you have to give up your freedom, we’re going to save your life. But what if you have to give up all your freedoms and they’re wrong on the science?"
"Every one of the mandates — and you look in country after country, state after state — you look at when the mask mandates went in — the incidents went up exponentially after the mandates. Restaurants, nobody can eat in a restaurant, there’s no science behind any of that."
"The trajectory of the virus hasn’t been altered at all by any of these things. I think the vaccine will, and this is why I really despise people like the CNN Doctor [Sanjay] Gupta, who I think is committing television malpractice by saying, ‘Oh, your mask is a much better thing than the vaccine.’ Well, no, it isn’t. The masks aren’t working at all. The thing’s going through the roof and people are dying."
"It’s like wearing your underwear. You might as well cut your underwear up and wear your underwear as protection. It doesn’t work."
Besides being a US Senator, Rand Paul has a medical degree from Duke University and is a practicing ophthalmologist.
Referring to young people going through this pandemic, Paul commented:
"What are they asked to give up? They’re being asked to give up their graduation from high school, their graduation from college, their wedding, and if we’re not careful, it’s gonna be their five-year wedding anniversary or their ten-year anniversary. We’re still gonna be wearing masks."
