Shouldn t be doing this research because of the threats to man kind. martha: there s no doubt that collins and dr. fauci waved everybody off of etch looking at the lab. that raises questions. i raised that with them throughout the last year. it s very fair to ask why. why did they wave everyone off of questions about the lab. obviously he gets very prickly when this topic is brought up. they re losing the faith of the american people. do you trust the cdc to give you accurate information about covid? that number of trust has gone down by three points. do not trust by five points in the recent polling. i m struck when i listen to this hearing, senator paul and dr. paul. you know, i read these stories in the wall street journal about studies from denmark and ontario that show the vaccinated might be more likely to contract omicron. there s another one today that says that slow the spread, speeding it might be safer
There was a verbal frakus with rand paul and fauci. fauci accused of putting him in danger. what happens when he gets out and accuses me of things that are completely untrue is that all of a sudden that kindles the crazies out there and i have life threats on my life. paul wasn t the only gop member that criticized fauci. roger marshall hoff kansas is a doctor. he told fauci, you lost your reputation. fauci called marshall a moron. more that? martha: thanks, chad. senator rand paul joins me now. senator paul, good to see you today. thank you for being here. so you heard dr. fauci. he said that your accusations against him have put his life in danger. you accused him of being the single person most responsible for the deaths in this country.
Take-down campaign in the lay media and so he didn t want to answer my questions. so he accuses me of fomenting violence. it s a misdirection. he doesn t want to accept that he s a political animal and that everything he does every day is to further his political agenda, not the science. martha: he s obviously under pressure. i think that it has been politicized. there s people that are pro fauci and against fauci. at one point you said to him you are the person that is more responsible for the deaths in this country than anyone else. you think that s fair? look at this way. i believe this virus originated from a lab that was from the chinese. we don t have 100% proof from that. the evidence is 90/10 that it was from the lab. he said for two years it was president gain of function. they weren t taking viruss that
Pandemic just because it s worldwide. it s not slowing up very much. i m confident we re on the right track. the american public is scrambling and showing signs that they are fed up with the management. our frustrated constituents cannot find rapid tests when they need them. tests are hard to find. they re costly. people are unable to find the at-home tests in pharmacies, online. people cannot find a test. i m getting texts as we speak saying we re not getting tests. you ve experienced that, too. senator rand paul was in the hearing today. he s on that committee. we saw another spirited exchange with dr. fauci that is getting attention. we ll talk to him about that. the responses is tests will be in the mail soon but omicron could be gone by them. first to chad pergram. hi, chad. good afternoon. the leading republican on the senate health committee warned
the accusation, the juvenile and personal attack to say that i m responsible for death threats on him would be equivalent to myself or steve scalise saying that the bernie sanders supporter that shot us that it was bernie sanders responsibility. so you remember the shooting at the ball field? i was ten feet from a young man that was shot. 20 yards from steve scalise. not one republican said it was bernie sanders fault. so when democrats say that and fauci is a democrat partisan, he s trying to deflect. what i was asking him about is this. he says he s science and if you question him or oppose him, you re opposing science. this kind of arrogance also led him and dr. collins to say that they would take a take-down of three epidemiologists that start the great barrington declaration. they re from stanford, harvard and oxford. they called them fringe, a
