HHS Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr., in an appearance on "The Ingraham Angle" Monday, claimed Dr. Anthony Fauci received the COVID vaccine in a very public ceremony, then roughly five months later, suffered a "pulmonary infarction."
According to RFK, Fauci never told anyone about it. It's one of many alleged lies laid out by the prominent Kennedy family member.
"He lied about masks. He lied about the social distancing. He lied about the transmission, and he lied about natural immunity," he told Fox News personality Laura Ingraham. "He lied about the capacity, as you just said, of the vaccine to prevent infection."
"He got vaccinated, a very, very public press conference ... and then five months later he had him—this is the first time that, we knew this from the diary—he had a pulmonary infarction, which is one of the adverse events that NIH, CDC, and FDA said are expected from the vaccine."
"He never told anybody."
Instead, Kennedy suggests, Fauci quietly got treated by some of the best doctors in the country while telling the rest of America that problems like that weren’t real side effects of the jab.
🚨 WOW! Robert F. Kennedy Jr. just OBLITERATED Dr. Fauci for lying about the COVID vaccine, getting a PULMONARY side effect and HIDING IT from us

Fauci Backs Out of Voluntary Testimony—Rand Paul Slaps Him With a New Subpoena
Sen. Rand Paul (R-KY) released more than 1,100 pages of Fauci’s private COVID-era diary entries ahead of the doctor's Senate testimony on Wednesday.
Peter McCullough, in a July 26 piece on his Focal Points site, described internal records released by Paul as showing that on June 19, 2021, Fauci was dealing with an acute “pulmonary infarct” linked to a pulmonary embolism and was started on the blood thinner Eliquis.
"Crucially, this health emergency occurred just months after his primary vaccination series," McCullough, a former cardiologist and vice chief of internal medicine at Baylor University Medical Center, asserts. "Yet Fauci was not transparent with the public."
The diary entry itself does not state that the pulmonary infarct was caused by the COVID vaccine; RFK Jr. and McCullough draw that connection based on the timing (roughly five months after Fauci’s primary vaccination series) and the fact that pulmonary embolism/infarct was listed by NIH, CDC, and FDA among rare expected adverse events.
But transparency, or the lack thereof, from Fauci and everyone in his orbit generates questions that need to be answered.
A circulating screenshot of a June 19, 2021 entry from the former National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID) director's diary—labeled ‘Released by Chairman Rand Paul’—shows Fauci describing a pulmonary infarct found on a CT scan and the recommendation to begin anticoagulation with Eliquis.
(The version of this page in the publicly posted PDF on Sen. Paul’s website is redacted; the unredacted image has been widely shared on social media.)

"There's something very dramatic, even for me, I've seen him (Fauci) write it in his own journal," RFK concluded in his segment. "Confessing to (you know) being wrong to lying about all this stuff."
While there are many, many individuals who need to be held accountable for their actions during the pandemic, Fauci can’t slide away from his own responsibility.
His guidance destroyed businesses. His guidance destroyed children’s education. He ruined families, robbing them of the opportunity to visit during holidays or even as they were living out their last days. All in an attempt to force people to wear masks, social distance, and get forced into immunization.
And his own words in his own diary are giving the game away.
