Rand Paul gets to the root of the issue behind why Susan Monarez was let go from the CDC.

You could feel it...the moment everything changed.

It was about one thing: the childhood vaccine schedule.

And Senator Paul made it clear that this is the debate the public deserves to have.

Paul: “So you resisted firing people who have this idea that the COVID vaccine should be at six months. That’s what this is about. You didn’t resist firing the beautiful scientists that are career people and un-objective and unbiased.”

“You wouldn’t fire the people who are saying that we have to vaccinate our kids at six months of age. That’s who you refuse to fire.”

Monarez: “So that assertion, is not commensurate with the experience that I had with the individuals who are identified to be fired.”

Paul: “Did any of the people you refused to fire believe that we should change the vaccine schedule and no longer force six-month-old kids to take it?”

“Every one of them was adamant we should keep it at six months.”

Then Paul dropped a question that stopped the room cold:

“What is the medical reason to give a Hepatitis B vaccine to a newborn whose mom has no hepatitis?”
