declaring that science is back after another epic clash over covid restrictions on when we can finally get back to normal. senator rand paul and dr. anthony vouching feuding it from americans need to continue wearing masks after getting vaccinated. you ve been vaccinated and you parade around in two masks for show. you can t get it again, there is virtually a 0% chance are going to get it and you re telling people that have had the vaccine and have immunity, you are defying everything we know about immunity by telling people where to wear masks who have been vaccinated. let me just state for the record that masks are not theater, masks are protective. if you have immunity they are theater, you are wearing a mask to give comfort to others, you are not wearing a mask i totally disagree with you. jesse: the two going after each other again today. instead of saying it might happen, he needs to show me a scientific study showing that it is happening because i m not o
