Robert F. Kennedy Jr. went on "The Ingraham Angle" Monday night and dropped another grenade into the long overdue reckoning over Dr. Anthony Fauci and the COVID years.

Kennedy, now serving as HHS secretary, said Fauci took the COVID vaccine in a highly public setting, then months later suffered what Kennedy described as a "pulmonary infarction."

According to Kennedy, the public was never told. That is not a small detail when the same public health machine was busy scolding Americans, threatening livelihoods, and treating vaccine skepticism like a thought crime.

Kennedy told Laura Ingraham that Fauci misled the country on nearly every major pandemic fight.

"He lied about masks. He lied about the social distancing. He lied about the transmission, and he lied about natural immunity," he said.

Then Kennedy added another charge that should raise eyebrows across the country.

"He lied about the capacity, as you just said, of the vaccine to prevent infection."

The allegation centers on Fauci diary material released by Sen. Rand Paul, the Kentucky Republican who has been one of the few lawmakers willing to keep pulling on this thread while Washington would prefer everyone move along.

Paul released more than 1,100 pages of Fauci private diary entries ahead of Fauci Senate testimony.

Those pages have reopened questions about what Fauci knew, what he experienced personally, and what he decided the American people did not need to know.

Peter McCullough, writing on his Focal Points site, said internal records showed that on June 19, 2021, Fauci was dealing with an acute "pulmonary infarct" associated with a pulmonary embolism and was started on Eliquis, a blood thinner.

"Crucially, this health emergency occurred just months after his primary vaccination series," McCullough wrote.

"Yet Fauci was not transparent with the public."

To be clear, the diary entry itself does not state that Fauci pulmonary infarct was caused by the COVID vaccine.

Kennedy and McCullough are pointing to the timing and to the fact that pulmonary embolism and infarct were listed by federal health agencies among rare expected adverse events.

That distinction matters, but so does the larger issue.

If the man who became the face of pandemic medicine suffered a serious medical event after vaccination, while Americans were being told to shut up and comply, transparency was not optional.

Instead, the picture Kennedy paints is one of privilege for the ruling class and lectures for everyone else.

Fauci allegedly received top medical attention while millions of ordinary Americans were told their questions were dangerous.

A circulating image of a June 19, 2021 diary entry, labeled as released by Chairman Rand Paul, reportedly shows Fauci describing a pulmonary infarct found on a CT scan and a recommendation to begin anticoagulation with Eliquis.

The version posted publicly on Paul Senate website is redacted, while an unredacted image has spread widely online.

That alone guarantees more scrutiny, because Americans have seen enough redactions to know they usually hide the parts that matter most.

Kennedy said the diary entries reveal something powerful because they come from Fauci own writing.

"There's something very dramatic, even for me, I've seen him (Fauci) write it in his own journal," Kennedy said.

He described the entries as Fauci "Confessing to (you know) being wrong to lying about all this stuff."

That is a stunning accusation, and it lands because so many pandemic era claims have aged about as well as a cloth mask in a rainstorm.

The country was told masks were science, distancing was science, school closures were science, and vaccine mandates were science.

Then the goalposts moved, the explanations changed, and the same experts demanded applause.

Fauci was not some background bureaucrat during all of this. He was the face on television, the voice from the podium, and the man treated by corporate media like a saint in a lab coat.

His guidance helped destroy small businesses, wreck children education, separate families, and keep loved ones apart in their final days.

Americans were told that questioning any of it was selfish, ignorant, or worse.

Now his own diary entries are raising fresh questions about what he disclosed and what he kept quiet.

WATCH:

Those questions deserve answers under oath, not another media cleanup operation from the same crowd that spent years protecting him.

Rand Paul has been right to keep pressing.

The American people paid for the agencies, endured the mandates, suffered the consequences, and deserve the truth without another layer of bureaucratic fog.
