'There's all kinds of ways we can use immunity to our advantage but nobody's admitting it,' Sen. Rand Paul (R-Ky.) said on Sunday while suggesting that those who have recovered from COVID-19 work with the elderly or vulnerable groups in the service industry.

Senator Rand Paul of Kentucky speaks to the press after attending the Republicans Policy Luncheon in Washington, D.C. on October 26, 2020. believes that restaurants and cruise ships should focus hiring on those who have already been infected with COVID-19 because they"can't get it again."

Paul made the remarks during a campaign rally for GOP House candidate Nick Freitas in Virginia on Sunday. He said that COVID-19 survivors would be ideal to serve with vulnerable populations because he believes they would have"immunity," citing his own diagnosis and recovery from the virus in March. "I'll say one thing about immunity: I've had it, I can't get it again. I can't give it to you, I can't get it," Paul."If they would admit that there's immunity, what could we do for our restaurants? If I owned a restaurant, I'd have a whole wing for senior citizens, or for anybody who is worried about getting sick, and I would say all my servers have already had it.""If I had a cruise ship, I'd hire everybody...

Paul added that he is frequently asked by reporters why he believes he is immune. While apparently referring to aon October 12 that showed a Nevada man had been infected with the virus twice, he dismissed the notion that COVID-19 patients can get infected more than once. "They have the evidence of one person out of eight million people who they think had it twice... that sounds like the exception to the rule, not the rule," Paul said before admitting that he does not know if he is"immune forever."

He doesn’t know that

Rand Paul is a quack.

Another doc in a box who knows nothing of whence he speaks.

I know 3 people who have gotten it again. And I only know like 50 people tops, so...

Rand Paul is kind of dumb isn’t he?

Idiot. There is conclusive evidence you can indeed get it again.

Well, he is an ophthalmologist! In Trump’s tiny brain, that makes him an expert in epidemiology, doesn’t it ?

This guy is so arrogant. We do not know if a person is at risk for getting the virus a second or third time. He is just blowing shit again

And more Lies, The Republicans Are Wicked!

I sure don't like this Chump!

Actually reports from China confirm that people CAN get it more than once. RandPaul .

They never learn. Listen, read, ask a Scientist or Doctor. You might find out there are still a lot of unknowns.

Both Rand Paul and McConnell need to go! Time to wake up Kentucky and get these morons out of office!

Start by firing this idot and making him flip burgers next election.

Proven false. Nurse died 2nd time around not long ago.

Is this idiot up for re election?

He doesn’t know this!

RandPaul is an eye doctor, not even certified, never mind an epidemiologist or a scientist. How the hell would he know if you can get it again or not. Some people actually have.

Tell that to the families of people who died, after getting it a second time.

Oh, Kentucky. Sweet Kentucky. Jobs. Education. Infrastructure. Change your path. Vote Blue.

Liar! My niece is an ER nurse. She’s had it twice. The second time was worse than the first.

DrRandPaul SEVERE cases of covid, not mild cases. There is reinfection in mild cases....severe cases may have immunity.

Yes you can get it again. We don't know how big the risk of that is, but it has happened

After Jan 20th...you can hired Trump....

I'd rather get medical advice from a can of Dr. Pepper than Rand Paul, the Senate's best neighbor.

What lunacy, insanity, stupidity, derangehood. Is this the kind of a great america is becoming.

Must be a staff shortage at his local eatery.

Yeah, I don't think that's necessarily true, RandPaul.......🤔

Man, he's looking a bit rough.

God will Punish him and his whole entire progeny! Animal beast.

Should we call security? Because I thought he was gonna lose an eye shooting off all the bottle rockets at halftime. Oh fuck, there goes his foot.” At press time viewers at home were dazzled as Pierre-Paul’s exploding arm spelled out ‘Go Bucs’ in blood. This is one joke that will never get old Onion got raw today American sports humour? Hard pass.
