@RandPaul

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”’npr.org/sections/healt…

@RepEspaillat

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.”khn.org/news/article/5…

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.

5. Masks protect against any strain of the coronavirus, in spite of genetic mutations. khn.org/news/article/5…

Bottom line: don’t listen to Senator Rand Paul when it comes to COVID19.

@RandPaul

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”

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. Read why masks should be worn after a vaccine: deadline.com/2020/11/dr-fau…

@SpeakerPelosi

Riley J. Williams is charged in the Capitol riot.
She allegedly stole a computer from @SpeakerPelosi’s office, & now @FBI is investigating a tip that she intended to send the computer to a friend in Russia who’d sell it to Russian intelligence.
Williams appears to have “fled”.

From the affidavit against her: Riley Williams’ former romantic partner called the FBI several times in the days following the riots to report that they had seen her in videos inside the Capitol, but friends of Williams had shown the tipster a video of Williams taking a laptop...

... computer or hard drive from Speaker Pelosi’s office. The witness told the FBI that “WILLIAMS intended to send the computer device to a friend in Russia, who then planned to sell the device to SVR, Russia’s foreign intelligence service...”

I met my 1st member of the Boogaloo boys today in Lansing.
He was a 30yo pizza delivery driver who came armed & didn’t want to give his name. He wore a Hawaiian shirt. He said: “We don’t like the massive over-reaches of a lot branches of our govt today.”
Everyone was peaceful.

Me: Why did you bring a gun?
Guy who wouldn't give name: “It’s just a thing we do…”
Me: “Are you anti-govt?”
I mean, not exactly. We don’t like the massive over-reaches of a lot branches of our government today.
Me: Are you far right?
Him: No.
Me: Are you extremists?
Him: No...

Me: Are you a militia?
Him: I mean, not really. I mean, I feel like your traditional militia, like gets together and trains and does all this other stuff. And I mean, like we don't really do a really do that. We’re more of a protest group than anything...

@NewYorker

This from @NewYorker is a must see: what happened when rioters entered the U.S. Senate.
Luke Mogelson recorded what was said, & done. “I think Cruz would want is to do this,” one rioter said, referencing tedcruz.
They ransacked, & prayed, as a cop watched newyorker.com/news/video-dep…

There’s 12:31 seconds of video to watch. newyorker.com/news/video-dep…

“There’s got to be something in here that we can use against these f*cking scumbags.”
