White House chief medical advisor Dr. Anthony Fauci got into a rather contentious exchange with Sen. Rand Paul, R-Ky., while appearing Thursday at a Senate hearing on the nation’s coronavirus response efforts.
Paul was grilling Fauci about whether people who have had COVID-19 or have been vaccinated are at risk of contracting the virus again, even suggesting the nation’s leading infectious disease expert’s decision to wear a mask after being vaccinated was “just theater.”
