Senator Rand Paul has been a vocal critic of Dr. Anthony Fauci and that has not changed. He is now publically accusing him of “emasculating” the medical system and ruining the economy.

According to Fox News:

Sen. Rand Paul, R-Ky., along with Rep. Andy Biggs, R-Ariz., said in an op-ed Thursday that the coronavirus lockdown recommendations of Dr. Anthony Fauci have “emasculated” the health care system and “ruined” the economy.

“Fauci and company have relied on models that were later found to be deficient. He even has suggested that he can’t rely on any of the models, especially if the underlying assumptions are wrong,” the pair wrote in an op-ed for USA Today. “Yet, Fauci persists in advocating policies that have emasculated the medical care system and ruined the economy.”

They pointed to Fauci’s testimony last week before a Senate committee that opening too soon would “result in needless suffering and death.” “What about the countless stories of needless suffering and death produced by Fauci’s one-size-fits-all approach to public health?” Paul and Biggs shot back.

They called for policies based on trusting the risk assessment of the American people rather than a federal government mandate.

They stated that freedom allows each individual American to make a determination if they are willing to personally accept the risk involved in situations.
