THREAD: Senator @RandPaul, who’s an eye Doctor, went on Fox News & told people who are several weeks out from their 2nd dose of the COVID19 vaccine to “throw your mask away.”
That’s not what the experts say.
Wear it. See next tweet for expert advice.

“Why You Should Still Wear A Mask And Avoid Crowds After Getting The COVID-19 Vaccine”’ https://www.npr.org/sections/health-shots/2021/01/12/956051995/why-you-should-still-wear-a-mask-and-avoid-crowds-after-getting-the-covid-19-vac
Congressman @RepEspaillat says he tested positive after receiving his second dose of the vaccine.
Not everyone will be like him, but his story is an example of why mask wearing & social distancing matters, even after you’ve been vaccinated twice.

“Masks and social distancing will need to continue into the foreseeable future — until we have some level of herd immunity,” said Dr. Preeti Malani, chief health officer at the University of Michigan. “Masks and distancing are here to stay.” https://khn.org/news/article/5-reasons-to-wear-a-mask-even-after-youre-vaccinated/
1. No vaccine is 100% effective.
2. Vaccines don’t provide immediate protection.
3. Covid vaccines may not prevent you from spreading the virus.
4. Masks protect people with compromised immune systems. https://khn.org/news/article/5-reasons-to-wear-a-mask-even-after-youre-vaccinated/

Bottom line: don’t listen to Senator Rand Paul when it comes to COVID19.
Senator @RandPaul loves to pick fights with Dr. Fauci, who during one of their confrontations, told the senator: “No, you've misconstrued that senator and you've done that repetitively in the past” https://www.axios.com/fauci-rand-paul-herd-immunity-1c5d3d6c-7b33-40b7-8a8b-937cc22c0f36.html
Can you imagine booking appointment to see Dr. Rand Paul & listening to him diagnose you with something - then saying to him: you don’t know what you’re talking about. That’s essentially what he is saying.
