After a famously contentious exchanges during Senate hearings with Dr. Anthony Fauci, Sen. Rand Paul, R-Ky., notes Fauci is now finally following the science Paul had already tried to explain to the U.S.’s highest-paid government official.

“I’m just glad that Dr. Fauci has now chosen to accept vaccine science – basic vaccine science says you can’t get it after you’ve been vaccinated; that’s why we get vaccinated,” Paul, an ophthalmologist, told Tuesday’s “Spicer & Co” on Newsmax TV.

Paul was shown clips of Fauci’s own words then, striking back at Paul’s claim of masks as “theater,” but also a clip of Fauci now admitting a vaccinated person does not need to wear a mask after all.
