It's not his job to encourage or discourage people to do anything. What he is doing is trying to keep people from losing their lawful right to choose. America is a free and open society Rand Paul like many other Americans would like to keep it that way.

I'm fully vaccinated now but I had zero intention of getting vaccinated unless my job required it. They haven't required it yet, but they will so I decided to just go ahead and get my shots and be done with the inevitable. That's my choice. It's not worth the fight to me with my employer once they eventually insist that everyone is fully vaccinated unless they work remotely. It was quick and easy peasy for both of my shots. I'm glad I did it. Having said that, I have no problem with people who refuse to get the vaccination because it's new and the long term effects are not yet known so I don't blame them if it's for that reason. If it's just for political reasons though and not health related, that's just fucking stupid to me but that's just my opinion.
