Rand Paul: Fauci acting like the Medieval Church with 'I represent science' declaration
Fox News
National Institute of Allergy & Infectious Disease Director Anthony Fauci invoked imagery of the all-powerful church of the Medieval era when he declared on CBS News, "I represent science", medical doctor and Kentucky Sen. Rand Paul remarked Monday on "Fox News Primetime."
"When a government bureaucrat has the audacity and the arrogance to say they represent all of science, we should be running the other way," he told host Pete Hegseth. "It conjures up images of the Medieval Church and their repression of science. Science has nothing to do with having obedience to any kind of government dogma."
Paul said Americans should, however, listen closely to Fauci as most of his public comments and requests are not principally scientific:
"He isn’t talking about a study on this or a study on that. He is talking about ‘wear a mask.' When you talk about peer-reviewed study of masks, one done in Denmark showed [masking edicts] didn’t work," the Republican lawmaker said.
