'Do children need 10 boosters?' Rand Paul takes no prisoners with COVID-positive Fauci as they clash over vaccines for kids and financial disclosures in ANOTHER heated Senate battle
Kentucky Republican Senator Rand Paul questioned Thursday if children would need to get 10 booster shots for COVID-19
'I think that is somewhat of an absurd exaggeration,' Fauci shot back
Paul said there are not studies showing that boosters prevent hospitalization and death in the demographic least affected by coronavirus
The latest shown down came at a hearing Thursday where Fauci joined virtually after announcing Wednesday he contracted COVID-19 for the first time

Rand Paul once again had a showdown with Dr. Anthony Fauci on Capitol Hill Thursday as the senator pushed the nation's top immunologist on whether children are going to need 10 boosters against COVID-19.
Fauci, who joined the hearing virtually after announcing Wednesday he contracted COVID, said it was 'absurd' to say that children would need to continue getting vaccination boosters as long as they produce antibodies, which Paul says the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) is using as its reasoning for recommendation.
'The government recommends everybody take a booster over age five,' Paul saida as part of a Senate Health, Education, Labor, and Pensions Committee hearing on Thursday. 'Are you aware of any studies that show reduction in hospitalization or death for children who take a booster?'
