Senator Rand Paul cited data from Public Health England showing that the Delta variant has a significantly lower death rate than the original "wild" strain of COVID-19. Paul criticized the government and social media platforms for suppressing scientific literature that contradicts the official narrative of increased deadliness. He argued that the real danger to the country is the presumption of absolute truth by political figures who seek to silence dissent.

Public Health England launched a campaign using bell jar experiments to demonstrate that vaping is significantly less harmful than smoking traditional cigarettes. The experiment showed that while cigarettes produce a thick layer of tar, e-cigarettes produce only a slight vapor residue. This pro-vaping stance by the UK government contrasts with U.S. FDA efforts to restrict vaping as a "gateway" to smoking.
