Health officials have not “completely explored” the safety of COVID-19 vaccines for children, Sen. Rand Paul warned, calling for more examination and information on the safety risks that vaccines potentially pose for children. 

“These are the same people that want to teach critical race theory,” the Kentucky Republican said in an interview Thursday with The Daily Signal. “They’re the same people that want to teach your kindergartner that if they’re a boy, they can easily become a girl. ”

“This is the craziness being foisted upon our children in school, but it’s also the same crazy people that want to hold your kid down and give them a shot without your permission, and we need to fight back,” he said.

The Food and Drug Administration’s Oct. 29 emergency use authorization of the Pfizer-BioNTech vaccine for children has sparked concerns that officials will use the authorization to mandate vaccinations for children. 

The concerns are not unfounded: On Oct. 1, California became the first state in the nation to announce a COVID-19 vaccination mandate for children attending in-person schooling. 

And in early November, Sen. Ted Cruz, R-Texas, introduced a bill aimed at prohibiting all entities that receive federal funding, including school districts, from requiring COVID-19 vaccinations for children. 

“I don’t think that we have completely explored the safety for children,” Paul told The Daily Signal. “No. 1, we don’t know—whether or not your child has already had COVID—whether the vaccine is safe.”
