Rand Paul Confronts Fauci With Video Of His Own Past Statements On Natural Immunity

uh but she's had the flu for 14 days should she get a flu shot well no if she got the flu for 14 days she's as protected as anybody can be because the best vaccination is to get infected yourself and so she should she if she really has the flu if she really has the flu she definitely doesn't need a flu vaccine if she really has the flu she should not get it again now she doesn't need it because the it's the best it's the most potent vaccination is getting infected yourself [Music] this is an ongoing question and you know we've had ever-evolving opinions from you dr falchi currently antibody surveys show that 80 percent of children approximately 80 percent of children have had covid and yet there are no guidelines coming from you or anybody in the government to take into account their naturally acquired immunity you seem quite certain of yourself in 2004 but in 2022 there's a lot less certainty one of the things that we also know after looking at this for two to three years is that the mortality uh from covet is very similar if not less than than influenza so when we look at this we wonder you know why you seem to really embrace basic immunology back in 2004 and how you or why you seem to reject it now well i don't reject basic immunology senator and i have never denied that there is importance of the protection following infection however as we have said many times and has has been validated by the authorization of the by the fda through their committee and the recommendation by the cdc through their committee that a vaccination following infection gives an added extra boost and that film that you showed is really taken out of context i believe that was when someone called in who had had a reaction to a vaccine and asked me through a telephone in the interview if they should get vaccinated again so it was in the context of someone who had a reaction as a matter of fact reuters fact check looked at that and said fauci's 2004 comments do not contradict his pandemic actions actually words don't lie if you look at the words behind me we can go over them a little bit at a time she doesn't need it because the most potent vaccination is getting infected to yourself it is true it is true senator it is a very potent way to protect when you're trying to tell us that kids need a third or a fourth vaccine are you including the variability or the variable of previous infection in the studies no you're not because when you have approved vaccines in recent times and the committees that have improved it for children don't report anything on hospitalization or death or transmission they only report that if you give them the jab they'll make antibodies and you can give kids hundreds of jabs and they'll make antibodies every time but that does not prove efficacy so what you're doing is denying the very fundamental premise of immunology that previous infection does provide some sort of immunity it's not in any of your studies almost none of your studies from the cdc or from the government have the variable of whether or not you've been previously infected so let's look at adults i've had three infections should i get a fourth one if you're going to measure whether i get a fourth one you need a category that has a fourth one in it and you need one that has nothing in it no vaccine or the fourth vaccine but you also need to know whether they've been infected if you ignore whether they've been infected you're ignoring a vaccine basically so you're ignoring a variable so what you're giving us is this the you decry and people decry vaccine hesitancy it's coming from the gobbledygook that you give us you're not paying attention to the science the very basic science is that previous infection provides a level of immunity if you ignore that in your studies if you don't present that in your committees you're not being truthful or honest with us senator if i might respond i have never ever denied fundamental immunology in fact i wrote the chapter in the textbook of medicine is it any unfundamental immunology any of the guidelines for vaccines do any of the guidelines for vaccines from the government include previous infection as something to base your decision making on with vaccines do any of the guidelines involve previous infection that's why you're ignoring previous infection because it doesn't involve any of the guidelines and furthermore we've been asking you and you refuse to answer whether anybody on the vaccine committees gets royalties from the pharmaceutical companies i asked you last time and what was your response we don't have to tell you right we've demanded them through freedom of information act and what have you said we're not going to tell you but i tell you this when we get in charge we're going to change the rules and you will have to divulge where you get your royalties from from what companies and if anybody in the committee has a conflict of interest we're going to learn about it i promise you that mr chair can i can i respond to that please okay there are two aspects for what you said you keep saying you approve you do this you do that the committees that give the approval our fda through their advisory committee the committees that recommend our cdc through their advisory committee and you keep saying i'm the one that's approving a vaccine based on certain data so i don't really understand with all due respect senator there's another one that said you would not reveal you would not reveal what companies gave you the you gave you royalties or what company gave the other scientists on no committing senator paul sir could i please answer that you keep asking committees they're not my committees they're the verpac committee for the fda and the acip for the cdc so i don't have any idea what goes on and then the reveal as well as you won't reveal we're gonna we're gonna move on we're over time senator paul you're over everyone's over a little bit i just want to make sure we keep on time here for the record i know chair murray and previous chairs of this committee of both parties both parties have found videos to be out of order
