Joe Rogan welcomes Rand Paul to Austin, Texas. Rand Paul mentions growing up in Texas, attending Baylor University where there was no music or dancing, and coming to Austin for live music.

Joe Rogan praises Rand Paul's book Deception: The Great Coverup and his questioning of Anthony Fauci. Rogan highlights Fauci's denial of gain-of-function research despite evidence. Children did not get seriously sick from COVID; no child without health issues died. Children got mild illness. Data from China early on showed this, yet schools closed. Sweden kept schools open and had similar death rates to others, with deaths primarily among older and overweight people.

Argument that kids would infect grandparents didn't hold because everyone got it anyway. Suggestion: Kids recover for two weeks before visiting grandparents, with exceptions for those living together. Early China data showed death rate <3%; initially overestimated due to not counting asymptomatic cases. Fauci denied natural immunity. Quote from Harvard epidemiologist Martin Kulldorff (fired): "We knew about natural immunity from the time of the Athenian plague in 436 BC, and we knew that knowledge until 2020. Then we lost all knowledge of natural immunity. But the good news is in 2025, we're starting to get back that knowledge."
