Dr. Antony Fauci continued to offer his advice on Tuesday while speaking to lawmakers on the Senate Health, Education, Labor and Pensions Committee. He reiterated that states need to enforce guidelines to help stem the spread of coronavirus, saying that “if we are going to contain this, we’ve got to contain it together.”
But Sen. Rand Paul (R-KY) had another idea in his head. According to Paul, it’s a “fatal conceit” to believe that any one person or group of people have the “knowledge necessary to direct an economy or to dictate public health behavior.”
Paul then encouraged the American public not to listen to the experts because, according to him, they don’t know much.
“I think government health experts during this pandemic need to show caution in their prognostications,” Paul said. “It’s important to realize that if society meekly submits to an expert, and that expert is wrong, a great deal of harm may occur when we allow one man’s policy or one group of small men and women to be foisted on an entire nation.”
