Let's put aside Kentucky Sen. Rand Paul's aggressively suspicious providence as a medical doctor for a moment, and instead focus on the fact that he is the scion of one of the most consequential bigots and conspiracy theorists in modern congressional history. With that in mind, Paul's obsessive pushback against even the most unobtrusive efforts to mitigate the ongoing coronavirus pandemic can be seen in no small part as a natural outgrowth of his saturation and maturation in the squishy underbelly of his dad's warped worldview.
What I'm getting at here is that Rand's latest pro-COVID screed, posted to his official Twitter account on Sunday, is both perfectly in keeping with his already warped worldview, and also a dangerous and significant escalation thereof.
