Sen. Rand Paul (R-Kentucky) is being blasted for explaining why he refuses to get a Covid-19 vaccine while all congressional Democrats have been inoculated.
Paul, an ophthalmologist, explained his decision on Sunday during a radio appearance on WABC 770 AM.
The senator said unless evidence comes to light that people who have been infected with Covid-19 are getting reinfected and dying at high rates, he will opt out of the vaccine, noting that having previously had Covid-19, he now has “natural immunity.”

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) has encouraged people who have had Covid-19 to still get vaccinated, saying that “experts do not yet know how long you are protected from getting sick again after recovering,” though reinfection is “rare.”
