The various dishonesties in Rand Paul’s cocaine-quail presentation

No one can ever claim that Sen. Rand Paul (R-Ky.) doesn’t know how to attract media attention.

Of late, Paul has centered that effort on challenging scientific orthodoxy on the coronavirus pandemic. He’s gotten into repeated public arguments with the government’s top infectious-disease expert, the National Institutes of Health’s Anthony S. Fauci. He’s vocally rejected the coronavirus vaccine in favor of the natural immunity he got when he contracted the virus last year. In short, he’s become an anchor of pandemic skepticism in the Senate.
