Rand Paul criticizes the Biden/Harris administration for issuing COVID-19 vaccine guidance for 6-month-olds.

The CDC recommends three doses of the 2024-2025 Pfizer-BioNTech vaccine for children aged 6 months to 4 years old. However, Sen. Rand Paul believes this guidance is contributing to public mistrust of the agency's recommendations.

The lawmaker posted that the Biden/Harris CDC recommends that 6-month-olds receive 3 COVID vaccines, despite a lack of scientific evidence showing a decrease in hospitalization or death. This has led to public hesitancy to trust any CDC recommendations.

The CDC recommends that previously unvaccinated children aged 6-4 years receive an initial dose of the Pfizer-BioNTech COVID-19 vaccine, followed by another dose "at least 3-8 weeks after Dose 1," and a third dose "at least 8 weeks after Dose 2."

The CDC suggests that an 8-week gap between the first and second doses of Pfizer-BioNTech COVID-19 Vaccine may be optimal for some individuals, as it may minimize the rare risk of myocarditis and pericarditis associated with COVID-19 vaccines.

In 2021, Paul, who had tested positive for COVID-19 in 2020, stated that he had not been vaccinated.

When I publicly state that, as a recovered COVID patient, I will not receive a vaccine that has not been proven to benefit me or is unnecessary, science deniers, bureaucrats, and the media tend to become hysterical.

"Although vaccinated individuals are less likely to contract or spread COVID-19, the likelihood of getting or transmitting the virus remains the same for both vaccinated and unvaccinated individuals," he stated.

Since 2011, the lawmaker has been a member of the Senate and was re-elected in 2022.
