Rand Paul actually said...

"I do not know on what principles of reasoning it is that good men think that the public ought to pay more for a thing that they would themselves if they were buying it themselves."

"You would not add more people if you were in private business, you would not add more people to an undefined."

"Why was the public never made aware that they were trying to do dangerous research to create a virus very similar to what COVID-19 became?"

"They take the virus, and then they take an S protein from another virus, and they create a virus that does not exist in nature."
