WATCH: Rand Paul and Dr. Fauci Exchange Gets Heated Over Mask-Wearing and Vaccines During Senate Hearing

Senator Rand Paul (R-KY) and Dr. Anthony Fauci had a tense discussion during a Senate hearing on the United States’ COVID response on Thursday.

Senator Paul repeatedly grilled Fauci on the necessity of mask-wearing post-vaccination. Paul said to Fauci, “You’ve already been vaccinated and you parade around in two masks for show.”

Paul also accused Dr. Fauci of, “making new policy based on conjecture.” The hearing is the latest in series of clashes between the two physicians since the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic.
