Dr. Rand Paul’s Op-Eds
Newsmax Op-Ed: “Rand Paul: Government Needs to Get out of the Way on COVID Treatments”
Any rational person would think arbitrarily preventing those sick with COVID-19 from receiving potentially life-saving treatment is immoral. But that's exactly what is happening to many patients who are seriously ill with COVID-19.Mandates that lack nuance or...
Lexington Herald-Leader Op-Ed: “Dr. Rand Paul: Monoclonal antibodies are an effective tool against COVID-19, but we need more.”
For quite a while now, I've publicly praised the benefits of intravenous monoclonal antibodies and urged Kentuckians and Americans to be aware of this remarkable and effective treatment.Monoclonal antibodies are one of the most promising treatments for the virus once...
Cincinnati Enquirer Op-Ed: Dr. Rand Paul: “Let’s have a serious discussion about COVID-19 and treatments”
The Enquirer joins a long list of uninformed media, inaccurately reporting both what I said and the facts about therapeutics during our battle with COVID-19. Let's start with a few things I've said over and over again but bear repeating because if I don't, the media...
Courier Journal Op-Ed: Rand Paul: If you have COVID-19, monoclonal antibodies could save your life. Here’s how
As a physician, I think it's incredibly important for patients to have access to as much life-saving information as possible, especially as we still continue to see COVID-19 cases across the country.In a commonsense move last week, Florida's surgeon general announced...
Courier Journal Op-Ed: Rand Paul: “The science proves people with natural immunity should skip COVID vaccines”
It's long past time for us to say no more to the science deniers.It's time for us to stand up to Washington bureaucrats who think you're not smart enough to make your own decisions. It's time for us to stand up to people who write columns ignoring 100 years of...
The Gleaner Op-Ed: Sen. Rand Paul: “Taxes should go toward projects like I-69, not foreign aid”

Fox News Op-Ed: “Sen. Rand Paul: Mask mandates and lockdowns from petty tyrants? No, not again. Choose freedom”
Resist. They can't arrest us all. They can't keep all your kids home from school. They can't keep every government building closed - although I've got a long list of ones they should.We don't have to accept the mandates, lockdowns, and harmful policies of the petty...
Cincinnati Enquirer Op-Ed: “Fund infrastructure projects by cutting wasteful programs”
I have long been a champion on the issue of prioritizing Kentucky's critical infrastructure projects. Year after year, I've introduced legislation that would redirect one percent of non-infrastructure spending to domestic projects, and ensure more of Kentuckians' hard...
The Ledger Independent: “Paying the price of excessive spending”
While the Federal Reserve made news last week by raising its expectations on rapidly increasing inflation and moving up its timeframe on interest rate hikes, it was hardly breaking news to Kentuckians across our Commonwealth. They've felt the effects of rising costs...
Lexington Herald-Leader Op-Ed: Sen. Paul: “Congress votes to end Iraq war 20 years after it authorized costly mistake”
It is easier to start a war than end one. That argument alone should deter us from war and yet . . .time and time again man's bellicosity combined often with imbecility entices us to war.The Iraq war was no exception. Sold as a response to 9/11 with propaganda so...
