Senator Rand Paul has now revealed that he will be getting the Coronavirus vaccine. Paul, who is doctor himself, said that getting the vaccine would be redundant as he was already infected with Covid-19 thus likely granting him immunity.

As The Hill reports:

During an interview with John Catsimatidis on his radio show on WABC 770 AM, Paul, an ophthalmologist, said he’s making the personal decision because he’s already had COVID-19.

Paul tested positive for COVID-19 in March 2020. At the time, he was the first known senator to have contracted the disease.

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) recommends that those who have recovered from COVID-19 get vaccinated because experts are unsure about how long natural immunity lasts.

“Until they show me evidence that people who have already had the infection are dying in large numbers or being hospitalized or getting very sick, I just made my own personal decision that I’m not getting vaccinated because I’ve already had the disease and I have natural immunity,” Paul said.

Is Paul right to flout the CDC’s guidance, or is he taking an unnecessary risk with his health? Let us know what you think in the comments below.

    1. It is globalists right to allow god to give globalists the technology to poison and kill so many people .

  1. He is a lot younger than me,I am 68. I think I had it in March or April of last year and decided to take the vaccine in January…mostly due to my age. This is the United States of America and we are still a free nation and it should be up to each individual to make that decision. I am sick and tired of the press towing the Democratic line.

    1. What you did was take something you don’t know anything about, to combat something you may have already had the ability to combat!

      1. Why would ANYONE be so gullible as to submit themselves to a “experimental vaccine “ when it normally takes 7-15 yrs to know if it’s SAFE to receive??!!!! Do your independent research and listen to TOP virologists , clinical scientists who “Do Not ever recommend any of the available vaccines!!!! I smell a major cover-up…….

    2. I’m 68 as well and my wife is 70. We both had it and recovered. In fact both of us had colds that effected us worse. Neither of us are planning to get the shot unless forced by the government to do so. Evan then I will put up a fight.

      1. They can NEVER force you to because the doctor will NOT administer it without an INFORMED CONSENT form signed by you that waives your right to sue. If it was safe they wouldn’t need you to waive your legal right to sue them. They lied to Eric Clapton and he almost lost his ability to ever play music again and it can still kill him.

    3. I’m 65 and i will not be getting the vaccine either. I believe if you take care of yourself and eat well, your body will take of you. I have not ever recieved a flu shot and have had the flu since 1973..so this vaccine was not FDA approved or had the proper protocol. What it has had was a rush to science. And when the CDC stands up and and holds companies accountable for all the medicines and vaccines have caused injury or death to people then I might believe in them. People need to check out VAERS…It’s where you need to report ANY ADVERSE EFFECT FROM VACCINES.. don’t buy that a side effect is normal…they are not

      1. Dr. Lorraine Day would be in full agreement with your sentiments. I was forced to undergo the vaccination do to my work as a musician in senior care facilities. I wouldn’t have received this shot otherwise. Every year, the Air Force mandated flu shots (They used those air gun injection devices that hurt like Hell.) and every year, I got the flu.

    4. CORRECTION
      Sorry as I was re reading my post.. it should be I’ve NEVER had a flu shot and and have NOT had the flu since 1973

    5. I’m 69.5 and made the same decision Dr Rand did fir the same reasons. No vaccine for me.

    6. I am sad that you were fooled by the lies of the Big Health. Ivermectin and HDQ with other supplements help kill the virus and you don’t need a deadly shot. But, if you believe these dirty vaccines actually help, that is what they decades of fake science have done to most of us. Robert Kennedy Jr and others have yelled for just as long about the dangers and dirty heavy metals in them, and the only polio is caused by the vaccine!! These covid flu vaccines are lies and so are the other vaccines full of dirty chemicals, and stuff that is killing us. But it causes cancer too and actually has cancer in them, so that keeps the Big Health rolling in money over our dead bodies.

      1. Star3214 , you are absolutely 100% correct!! These vaccines they’re PUSHING on ppl globally are actually attacking the immune system and your organs to destroy them and you could die a lot quicker! It’s called population control “ . Research P Control!!! It is a bio weapon . THINK….Don’t believe a damn thing MSM reports on, they lie to the public and twist the truth to fit there narrative (agenda)! Too much to share and what I could share is NOT good. MSMedia are brainwashing the people 😡😤

  2. Kudos to Senator Paul; a medical doctor who actually “follows the science” unlike so many of these liberal phonies who use the phrase and then pick and choose their beliefs rather than analyze the science. Dr. Fraudci is already discussing booster shots for the COVID Vaccine. As a medical doctor, I am sure Senator (Dr.) Paul is capable of having himself checked for anti-bodies if he is concerned with a new strain. This, my friends, is TRUE SCIENCE and not fanatical panic.

    1. globalist puppet fauci is only a globalist puppet, a globalist puppet preaching globalist agendas, he is no real doctor !

  3. Having COVID-19 causes your body to make antibodies which help your immune system to recognize COVID and prevent you from getting it again. The vaccine puts a protein spike on your mRNA that causes your immune system to recognize COVID and prevent you from getting COVID. Both have same effect, so why get the shot if you already have had COVID.

  4. God gave us wonderful immune systems for a reason!! “If you don’t use it, you lose it”!!!! I prefer my own immune system, my own build up of immunities over the use of drugs/vaccines not passed by the FDA for an “illness” for which 00.001% of the population dies from, and usually then only the aged with other co-morbidities! And I am almost 60!!! This is not an illness like the bubonic plague, measles, or other diseases/illnesses that literally wiped out entire communities, from newborn to 90 yr olds with no survivors, like what people experienced back in the 1800’s!!!!!

    1. Our natural wonderful immune system can not fight the diseases that god allows the globalists to create in labs to kill as many people as they can .

  5. Senator Paul has the right to refuse- ” his body, his choice”. He has a natural immunity to the virus and he is one of the millions of marginalized Americans who’ve had COVID and are not counted as immune. Not counted anywhere unless the total infected is needed to scare people.
    I wish he would fight for the rights for those of us who are pushed to the side for vaccines

  6. I feel the same as I had the virus and was confirmed as to having the antibodies which can last a lifetime.

  7. If you already had a COVID strain your immune system has knowledge of that strain and can more easily combat it, but like many viruses there are multiple strains. The manufacturers of the ‘COVID’ vaccine are not saying what strain they are immunizing against, so getting something that is unknown injected into your body shows the utmost stupidity. So, Senator Paul is 100% correct for not getting this vaccine.

  8. I think he is right. in the past when you got the measles or chickenpox, a virus. Doctors all agreed that you can’t get the same virus again, ever. Ran is a doctor & I take his word over the CDC & fauci’s any day. CDC like Fauci has become a political tool & can no longer be trusted. Actually before there was the hope of a shot (vaccine). Fauci said the only way we can reach herd immunity is through those that get the virus & recover. What happened to this method? Oh, that’s right Gates has made over $200B off the shot & fauci has made some as well. Has CDC been corrupted by big pharma into pushing the shot because they are getting a kickback?
    Now big pharma has said you may need as many as 4 additional shots through out the coming years to prevent reinfection. More money for them.
    It comes down to one thing, do you trust what your government is telling you? Personally Nancy, Chuck & company have lied to us too many times. There are those Republicans too. But Nancy & Chuck seem 2 be the biggest offenders.

  9. Is this article correct???? The first line says he “will be” getting the vaccine. You should fact check your article. It is confusing.

    1. What more do you expect from globalist puppet, libby snow flake sheep moderators, they are too busy deleting comments when people tell the truth and hurt their globalist puppet, libby snow flake sheep little feelings .

    1. When globalists and globalist puppet $oro$ and globalist puppet democrat criminal party and globalist puppet rino criminal party and globalist media hate you, you are doing everything correct . . . . .

  10. Why should he be vaccinated if he already has the antibodies? A shot might just provoke a reaction. As to the length of immunity, who the hell knows right now.

  11. It should be everyone’s own choice to get or not get. Parent’s check what you are putting into you children before you sign on the dotted line

  12. Like Dr. Paul, I had COVID for 20 days and have had my blood tested and confirmed it has covid antibodies therefore I’m not getting the vaccine. I will lobby my state legislators to allow people who have proof of having covid that they should be treated equally to those who have been vaccinated with unnatural antibodies. It is ridiculous that the CDC and Dr. Fauci are not being transparent on this whatsoever.

  13. I got the shot cause my employer promised we could dump the masks if we did. Never had much concern over this virus no more than the flu, and I get the flu shot every year so I hopefully dont have to deal with getting sick. So I stupidly said why not and boy did I regret it. I ran a fever that came very close to sending me to the hospital. If it were up to my wife I would have gone. My joints all became inflamed like severe arthritis and still are 4 weeks after the second shot. While its everyone’s personal choice speaking from experience if you really dont have a very good reason to take the shot I would think twice about it.

    1. Wait until globalists create their mandatory vaccine/computer chip and then wait and see the deaths, they are still practicing until they perfect the mandatory vaccine/computer chip .

  14. I can’t fault Senator Paul for not getting the vaccine. My son who works as a prison guard got the vaccine as a requirement for his job. When he got the 2nd dose, he had a really bad reaction that made him pretty sick. He also believes he had the virus but was asymptomatic.

  15. My Body My Choose! I never mask up nor will I get some vaccine that my body is not made for. I and my wife are in our 70’s and thank God he made us to fight off some China Virus!!

    1. god will give globalists the technology to create disease that nature will not allow our body to fight off .

      1. If you do believe in God, perhaps you should trust him to not allow the virus to affect you!!

      2. Satan, rules the earth. Satan is the one with the evil creation of this & other devastating virus, diseases, etc. Man has chosen evil over good. The power of prayer . Victory is for the Righteous!

    2. That’s all women want: my body my choice. They don’t want men or bureaucrats telling them what to do with their bodies.

  16. He is well within his right to refuse or get anything the government or anyone else is pushi g.besides they have found (upon further research) that people who have. Long since passed on relatives who had this gained a T cell in which is activated by rhe presents of covid and it inturn begins to fight this virus, amazing how our DNA has backup systems from possibly over 2000 years ago.

  17. My husband and I both had Covid-19 in February 2020. We caught from a doctor who returned to the U.S. from Turkey 3 days prior to an appointment my husband had with him. My husband is 83 and I’m 68 neither of us plan to take these unproven vaccines. Vacvines have not been properly tested and the CDC isn’t even sure how many additional boosters will be required. Vaccines have only been approved for emergency use. If the vaccines had been properly tested the would have been by the FDA period not just for emergency use.

  18. I really wish that all these sites would do a much better job of proofreading their articles BEFORE they put them out! The title says he WON’T be getting the vaccine and then the very first line of the article says he WILL be getting the vaccine! Ideally, herd immunity is the very BEST way to combat any type of contagious illness. God gave our bodies that ability. But ultimately it is up to each and every person to make the decision if they want to get the vaccine or not. If Senator Paul, a doctor, who completed medical school just like every other doctor, decides that because he has already contracted the virus, his body contains the antibodies needed to fight off future infection, and he does not need the vaccine, that is his RIGHT! And no one, least of all, a government employee, who has never been to medical school, has the right to tell him he HAS to get the vaccine!

    1. You expect too much from globalist puppet, libby snow flake sheep, moderators who are more interested in deleting truth comments that hurt globalist puppet, libby snow flake sheep little feelings .

  19. I’m a doctor and I believe all healthcare decisions are based on “informed consent “, and since “the jab” is NOT a vaccine but gene therapy – everyone should evaluate the facts (though most people never get to read the truth and results of this shot) and make a choice as to what is best for themselves. Trying to force something into the body of every American without full disclosure and testing is criminal.

  20. This is your first sentence at the top of the article, read it carefully:

    Senator Rand Paul has now revealed that he will be getting the Coronavirus vaccine. Paul, who is doctor himself, said that getting the vaccine would be redundant as he was already infected with Covid-19 thus likely granting him immunity.

  21. America is still a FREE country right? Maybe not for much longer with the puss bucket in power now!! We know he is a communist and his whole regime is killing our freedoms. Leave Dr. Paul alone, he knows better!!! Start really looking into fauci’s monetary dealings with china, he’s directly involved in giving the wuhan lab money!! What’s that about??? It’s PAST TIME FOR OUR DOJ TO START DEALING OUT JUSTICE!!! GET OFF THE TRUMP BASHING, AND DO YOUR FREAKING JOBS!!! The DOJ. DHS, haven’t been doing their JOBS!!! How does criminal h. biden take 23 trips with secret service protection on our jets??? This is OUT OF CONTROL!!!

    1. WOW. Was Biden jetting to play golf. What about the $17 million we spent so Trump could play golf. Both parties abuse us taxpayers.

  22. He is a smart man. I have spoken to doctors who insist the “vaccine” is better than the antibodies one gets from the virus. That is not only counter-intuitive, but it goes against all current and historical data. I, too, have had the virus and consider myself immune from further infections of the same virus. Will there be other strains I might catch? That is possible, but it is also possible with the flu and I have never had a flu vaccine. At 72 I consider myself healthy, even though I am a diabetic. I’m with Paul.

  23. Good for him – we must all stand up and be able to refuse it if we want too – it is an experimental vaccine that is not tested on long term patients – we know some of the ingredients are unusual and not what we all want to put into our bodies – this vaccine is a CHOICE ! It’s funny how liberals are PRO CHOICE TO KILL A BABY IN YOUR WOMB IF YOU WANT TO – but don’t want us to have CHOICE with our own bodies on what we do with it REGARDING THIS VACCINE ! Hmmmm. Very interesting !

  24. I think it is a personal choice and no one has the right to force the issue. This virus passport issue is unconstitutional and a Socialist agenda. This Political game that is being played is very dangerous.

  25. He is right to exercise his right to NOT take it. Whatever the reason, his choice is his choice. The same goes for ANYONE, whether they’ve had the virus or not!

  26. When you add up all of the scientific knowledge on the subject of this virus and decades of research on viruses and immunity, the data supports the probability that for Rand the decision is logical.
    As we are not identical clones, though communists tend to see us as farm animals, their property, we are so complex that each of us is unique in many ways. Thank God for that. We have different skin coloration as well.

  27. “Senator Rand Paul has now revealed that he will be getting the Coronavirus vaccine”
    He will NOT be getting the vaccine. Please fix this reporting.

  28. Dr Paul ALSO has a damaged lung from the attempted murder by his lunatic LIBERAL neighbor. So if he can get it and get over it as fast as he did with no side effects at his age then majority of people can. They should be promoting healthy food and exercise to combat COVID since over 3/4 of people hit the hardest were obese.

  29. This is America. He is free to choose his course of action. It at least he used to be free. Hard to tell these days.

  30. “Senator Rand Paul has now revealed that he will be getting the Coronavirus vaccine.”
    PLEASE CHANGE “HE WILL” TO “HE WON’T”… Somebody messed up the story.

  31. I agree with Dr. Paul, if one had the disease, no need to get the vaccine, one already has immunity. R we STILL the FREE USA.? Ability to choose our medical care???? Think this over I pray my fellow CITIZENS!!!!!

  32. Paul would be taking an unnecessary risk. He has had covid, and there are meds for it. Taking an unverified vac is the risk.

  33. He is exactly right and it’s the course I am also taking. I was infected and practically asymptomatic so why should I risk injecting an experimental substance into my body?

  34. Like other doctors are saying, if you get the chicken pox, does your doctor tell you to get the chicken pox vaccine? NO!
    All five in our household have had corona virus. None of us will get the corona virus vaccine. We will not fly on a plane, no trains, busses… Driving by car. Use the brain God gave you!

  35. These injections are not vaccines; they are experimental gene therapies, that alter the recipient’s inherent immune system. These therapies, like Pfizer’s BNT162b2, use mRNA molecules that fuse with every cell in your body, irreversibly altering those cells, by causing the recipient cells to produce spike proteins and spike fragments that, in turn, are released as those cells die. The immune system’s antigen cells and T-cells lock onto the released spike proteins, and the body’s B-cells, another part of the immune system, to produce antibodies to the Coronavirus spike proteins. In no way does the gene therapy prevent infection by the Covid 19 virus, nor does it prevent the recipient from spreading the virus to others. In fact, the “vaccinated” become the “super spreaders” of the virus. We have no experience or tested information of any kind as to what these gene therapies may cause your body to do when exposed to other spike protein coronaviruses, like the common cold or the flu in the future.

    Great idea, huh?!!!

    The Covid 19 infection has over a 99% survival rate, without an individual taking the injection. In addition, there are treatments available that are far less expensive, and proven to be effective against this virus. They have been safely used by humans for decades for various pathogens. Of course, since they are cheap, the big pharmaceutical industry is working with the AMA, the FDA & CDC to squelch any use of these treatments, using the usual tools of our political parties and the MSM: deception, lies and more deception.

    Best advice from a perennial skeptic: inform yourself with information from the least politicized scientists and physicians you can find, if any, and compare that info with what you’re getting from our illustrious Big Brother, and make your own decision. Unfortunately, you can’t always trust your own doctor; because, he or she is probably too frightened to say anything against Pfizer, Moderna, and other purveyors of this new, untested technology. Heavens forfend!!! The State might revoke their license to practice medicine! So, they won’t prescribe the proven alternatives, which, BTW, are required by current law to be used before any Emergency Use Authorization (EUA) can be forced on anyone.

  36. Rand Paul is spot on regarding achieved immunity. That along with the fact there is a 99.98 survival rate makes you wonder why so many people put such an unknown entity into their bodies. These people are friggin nuts!

  37. I heard that he said since he had covid19 he doesn’t need it. I would prefer he investiate the truth about the ingredients and research in these deadly shots and make an informed decision.

  38. His medical school needs to take away his diploma! What an embarrassment to to the medical profession. Read a book about virology and then make an “educated” decision!

  39. I think Rand Paul is making a rational decision. I feel natural immunity and your body which God created is better than some man made jab. Keep in mind, God doesn’t make junk!

  40. Which is it? The headline says he won’t be taking the vaccine! The first first sentence says he will? Doesn’t anybody there proofread???

  41. I think Rand Paul is a really smart man and I approve of the fact that he is not getting the poison. I’m not either. If you’re around a vaccinated person they can’t catch it from you and you can’t catch it from them so there you go. It’s your body and your health choice!!!✅

  42. As an essential healthcare provider, former NIH employee, and researcher, I received the Moderna 1273 vaccine in Dec. 2020. Others waited and wanted to see how I survived vaccination, as I am a runner and seemingly healthy athlete with
    NO MEDICAL/CARDIAC HISTORY and no allergies.

    8 days after receiving the vaccine, I developed pelvic to toe full leg bloodclots and three (3) consecutive myocardial infarctions, each requiring shocks enroute to hospital. At the scene 2 nondescript unknown nurses appeared and began CPR/chest compressions and called paramedics with AICD USE.

    I spent 40 days as an in-patient at The Ohio State University Wexner Medical Center, Columbus, Ohio. I completed inpatient rehab at the famous and exemplary DODD HALL.
    Still with difficulty walking and significant leg pain and nerve deficit, I must as a research mind ask “What role if any did the Moderna vaccine play in this episode?” I have been unable to have any legitimate dialogue with researchers or knowledgeable physicians/virologists. I also suffered a SAH ( subarachnoid hemorrhage) similar to several other vaccine recipients who have died since I was hospitalized. My cardiologist stated “your case is complicated,” and that I am a “1 to 5 percenter” survivor with close to 300 caregivers during the tour of duty.

    I believe that research must be completed to determine the mechanism/ paradigm (possibly via cytokines or signal transduction) and factors that predispose some individuals such as myself to suffer dire life-changing consequences. I am completing VAERS to catalogue vaccine adverse reaction. I do remain an advocate of traditional vaccines.

  43. Funny how all the so called “experts” contort and twist facts to suit their sick narrative! Anyone knows that if you have had a virus, your body produces anti bodies and you are therefore immune. But that doesnt suit the Big Pharma money grabbers. Good for you Dr. Paul. A man with common sense

  44. There’s no way I’m Ever letting them stick that SHIT in my body! I will trust my God given immunity not some Frankenstein vaccine created by those with a God complex.

  45. There is way too much hype about COVID-19. People have repeatedly gotten the common cold and there is no cure for that nor concern about where the natural immunity is against that virus. And no one is running around forcing a vaccine on you to keep you from spreading it it to others. Diseases are inevitable and sometimes you succumb no matter what you do to prevent them.

  46. I am 70, healthy and had covid. No shot for me unless I am forced and then I will be fighting for my FREE life!

  47. The reason behind the intentional release of the virus and the exaggerated claims of how deadly it would be were simply to get a vaccine into the masses. Those masses will experience worse and far more deadly reactions to Covid when they get exposed again. Many will die, which is why they are trying to force as many people into getting it as possible. Then they will say it is a much worse “variant” and try to sell you on more vaccines! Heard about Agenda 21, Agenda 30, or the Great Reset? It’s all about population control, or better said, de-population. Kill some off, sterilize the rest.

  48. He is correct in that he has natural immunity. As a doc myself, clinical disease/infection typically renders a greater immune response than do vaccines. All pathogen antigens are presented in disease, whereas only those believed to be most prominent or “exposed” are focused upon in designing immunizations. Though I also eventually had a POS CoVid-19 dx, I opted to get vaccinated-and tolerated both doses very well.
