Sen. Paul: Once you have immunity, ‘throw your mask away’
In a new Fox News interview, Senator Rand Paul gave his medical opinion on wearing masks after one obtains immunity through the vaccine, saying many doctors and experts “will never let up” with COVID regulations and mask recommendations.
“There are doctors out there saying, ‘we need to wear them after the vaccine and really we may need to wear them forever,'” Paul said. “That is ridiculous.”
Paul said if you had the disease or has had the vaccine, including the second dosage, you should “throw your mask away and tell Dr. Fauci to take a leap.”
“Once you have immunity, you don’t need to do this,” Paul said. “Throw your mask away and tell these so-called experts who say lockdowns work to take a flying leap because there is no scientific evidence that the lockdowns have done anything to change the trajectory of this virus.”
Unlike most politicians giving their opinions on COVID rules and scientific data, Sen. Paul is an actual doctor and owned his own medical practice before entering politics in 2010.
Paul attended the Duke University School of Medicine and practiced ophthalmology in Bowling Green, Kentucky—later starting his own clinic in 2007.
Perhaps as greater amounts of Americans receive the coronavirus vaccine, more will follow Paul’s lead and ditch the mask.
Lia Thomas, trans female swimmer was honored Sunday in a panel on ESPN celebrating “Women’s History Month.”
Thomas was a former swimmer for the University of Pennsylvania and his decision to compete against women after his transgender surgery spurred controversy. The issue of trans-females competing in female sports has been the most questioned cultural manifestation in modern times. It started with Renee Richards, a transgender, who decided to compete against women in tennis after leaving a career as a male tennis player.
Many women and even feminists have urged lawmakers that allowing trans women to compete in female sports is not progressive but rather regressive and is a step backwards for women’s rights.
“The average man is much stronger then the average women,” according to Matt Brzycki Coordinator of Health Fitness, Strength and Conditioning Programs Princeton University. In the ESPN segment Thomas echoed what she believes other think saying, ‘Oh, she just transitioned so she would have an advantage so she could win.’ I transitioned to be happy.”
Although Thomas may have transitioned for what she claims to be personal reasons does this mean it can be at at the risk of taking happiness away from all the female swimmers who don’t stand a chance against someone who is a biological male. Riley Gains a swimmer from the University of Kentucky slammed Lia Thomas on twitter saying “Lia Thomas is not a brave, courageous woman who EARNED a national title. He is an arrogant, cheat who STOLE a national title from a hardworking, deserving woman.”
Lia Thomas is not a brave, courageous woman who EARNED a national title. He is an arrogant, cheat who STOLE a national title from a hardworking, deserving woman. The @ncaa is responsible.
If I was a woman working at ESPN, I would walk out. You’re spineless @espn #boycottESPN https://t.co/DF3n5RWsmV

If equity is what the woke-left is looking for then why has a Trans competing league not been created so we can avoid all of this together and create an environment for all groups to stand a chance?
Well, the World Athletics said it would exclude transgender female athletes who have been through male puberty from world rankings competitions, according to Fox News. The news report also quoted Sebastion Coe of World Athletics saying, “Decisions are always difficult when they involve conflicting needs and rights between different groups, but we continue to take the view that we must maintain fairness for female athletes above all other considerations,” he said. “We will be guided in this by the science around physical performance and male advantage, which will inevitably develop over the coming years. As more evidence becomes available, we will review our position, but we believe the integrity of the female category in athletics is paramount.”
