View submission: Audience Cheers After Rand Paul Delivers Scathing Diatribe Against 'Submission' To Vaccine Mandates

While a appreciate some of what people like RP do and say, he's still very much in this matrix system. Him saying its a net positive for an elderly person to take the covid shot is simply not true. Even for someone who's old and sickly, there is no guarantee that they will have a serious illness from covid, let a lone die from it. The mortality rates are below 1%.

My mother is in her late 60's, has cancer, and she caught covid at least twice since 2021. She never get seriously sick, she was never hospitalized, and she is UNVACCINATED. I know this is anecdotal, but my point is push back against the blatant propaganda that covid is a death sentence for for an old sickly unvaccinated person, it's not.

I don't know if he truly believes the propaganda about covid and the shot, or if he is just parroting the party line to appease the covidian dems, but whatever the case he needs to knock it off advocating that shot.

Look at the infection fatality ratio and impact of age on this. The mortality rate gets well above 1% as you go above age 75 or so pending on the study used.

Now it’s fair to argue the covid vaccines are neither safe nor effective. If you cut a 1% mortality rate to 0.99% why take the shot? Or if you increase the mortality rate above 1% by giving them some other illness fine.
