Controversial Stances on Covid Vaccinations from Rand Paul and Moderna CEO

Senator Rand Paul, a doctor and opponent of Covid mitigation measures, said he would not vaccinate his children against Covid due to concerns over potential heart inflammation, or myocarditis, from taking the vaccine. He suggested that young people take only one dose of the Covid vaccine instead of multiple doses, saying that there is a higher risk of myocarditis among young people after they receive the second dose. Paul's remarks come after he grilled Moderna CEO Stéphane Bancel during a hearing about the potential risk of myocarditis for young men following Covid shots.
