Sen. Rand Paul (R-Ky.) said that he will not be getting vaccinated against COVID-19 since he’s already had the disease, The Hill reports.
Said Paul: “Until they show me evidence that people who have already had the infection are dying in large numbers, or being hospitalized or getting very sick, I just made my own personal decision that I’m not getting vaccinated because I’ve already had the disease and I have natural immunity.”
