It doesn\u2019t infect an intermediate animal. They checked 80,000 animals at the wet markets in Wuhan. None of the animals at the wet market would accept COVID-19 or were positive for it.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt looks like it\u2019s most well-adapted for humans. So this is worrisome, and yet more evidence that this, in all likelihood, came from the lab,\u201d Paul added.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI think if you look back at the last year and you look at the people who are discounting the theory that it originated in a lab, they are precisely the same scientists that were sending the funding to the lab. So, there is a real possibility that they have a conflict of interest,\u201d Paul further noted.<\/p>\n<p>The Senator has continually pushed back on anti-scientific statements regarding the pandemic made by Anthony Fauci and others including\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/summit.news\/2021\/06\/04\/scientist-at-center-of-lab-leak-controversy-put-in-charge-of-the-lancets-task-force-to-investigate-virus-origin\/\">Peter Daszak<\/a>, who not only funded gain of function research, but has continually pushed for the lab leak theory to be dismissed by the scientific community while being appointed by both the World Health Organisation and The Lancet journal to investigate the origins of the outbreak.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis may be the biggest scientific error that Dr. Fauci has made so far and continues to make. He\u2019s completely discounting natural immunity \u2013 the immunity you get after you\u2019ve had an infection. All of the scientific studies, and I emphasize that \u2018all,\u2019 hundreds of studies now show that you do have immunity,\u201d Paul, who has\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/summit.news\/2021\/06\/16\/video-rand-paul-demands-exclusion-of-wuhan-lab-funders-from-investigations\/\">demanded \u201call records\u201d\u00a0be released from the NIH,<\/a>\u00a0urged.<\/p>\n<p>The Senator continued, \u201cIf you discount that and you don\u2019t count it, then Dr. Fauci says \u2018Oh no, we don\u2019t have enough people vaccinated, we\u2019re not at herd immunity.\u2019 Now we have to have mandates on the children, and we must force children of all ages to have the vaccine even though they don\u2019t get sick from COVID very often and they almost never die from it.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cHe wants to force the vaccine on them because he makes a scientific error and doesn\u2019t count natural immunity,\u201d Paul emphasised.<\/p>\n<p>Watch:<\/p>\n<p><script type=\"text\/javascript\" src=\"https:\/\/video.foxnews.com\/v\/embed.js?id=6259679641001&#038;w=466&#038;h=263\"><\/script><noscript>Watch the latest video at <a href=\"https:\/\/www.foxnews.com\">foxnews.com<\/a><\/noscript><\/p>\n<p>Paul\u2019s comments come as Joe Biden\u2019s security adviser Jake Sullivan\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.foxnews.com\/politics\/jake-sullivan-china-coronavirus-origin-investigation-g-7-fox-news-sunday\">stated\u00a0<\/a>that China must allow another investigation of the pandemic origins to be conducted or \u201cface isolation in the international community.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Sullivan intimated, however, that the Biden administration wants the World Health Organisation to once again lead the investigation, despite the fact that it absolved the Wuhan lab\u2019s possible involvement in a leak\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/summit.news\/2021\/02\/09\/who-absolves-china-of-blame-for-covid-after-visiting-virus-lab-for-just-3-hours\/\">after just three hours<\/a>\u00a0during its first \u2018investigation\u2019.<\/p>\n<p>Watch:<\/p>\n<p><script type=\"text\/javascript\" src=\"https:\/\/video.foxnews.com\/v\/embed.js?id=6259727652001&#038;w=466&#038;h=263\"><\/script><noscript>Watch the latest video at <a href=\"https:\/\/www.foxnews.com\">foxnews.com<\/a><\/noscript><\/p>\n<p><em>*\u00a0 *\u00a0 *<\/em><\/p>\n<p>___<br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/summit.news\/2021\/06\/21\/rand-paul-coronavirus-in-all-likelihood-came-from-the-lab\/\">https:\/\/summit.news\/2021\/06\/21\/rand-paul-coronavirus-in-all-likelihood-came-from-the-lab\/<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Rand Paul: Coronavirus \u201cIn All Likelihood, Came From The Lab\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-70096","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-uncategorized"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/stateofthenation.co\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/70096","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/stateofthenation.co\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/stateofthenation.co\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/stateofthenation.co\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/stateofthenation.co\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=70096"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/stateofthenation.co\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/70096\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/stateofthenation.co\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=70096"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/stateofthenation.co\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=70096"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/stateofthenation.co\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=70096"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
