In this Senate hearing, Senator Rand Paul confronts former CDC Director Susan Monarez over one of the most controversial issues of the pandemic: the push to vaccinate children, even infants, against COVID-19.
Paul challenges Monarez directly on the evidence — asking whether vaccinating those under 18 truly reduces hospitalizations or if the recommendations went far beyond what the science supports. The exchange highlights growing concerns about public health policy, scientific integrity, and whether children were ever at meaningful risk of severe disease.
Watch as Rand Paul presses for answers the public deserves: Were COVID vaccine mandates for children really backed by solid data, or were they driven by politics?
