Sen. Rand Paul (R-KY) spoke out on Sunday to blast Dr. Anthony Fauci after the the infectious diseases expert admitted that schools should be open during the COVID-19 pandemic.
Fauci Backtracks On School Closures
Fauci told ABC’s “This Week” that day that the government’s “default position” should be to keep children in school, and to close bars instead.
“If you look at the data, the spread among children and from children is not very big at all, not like one would have suspected,” Fauci explained. “So let’s try to get the kids back. But let’s try to mitigate the things that maintain and push the kind of community spread we are trying to avoid.
“And those are the things you know well. The bars, the restaurants … those are the things that drive the community spread. Not the schools,” he added.
Paul Fires Back
Conservative activist Jack Posobiec quickly responded on Twitter by writing, “Dr Fauci owes @RandPaul an apology.” Paul, however, disagreed.
