Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr.'s vaccine agenda is one of the biggest political liabilities hanging over Republicans, but his suspicion of the medical system is likely to endure with the GOP base. Why it matters: Kennedy will one day leave public life, whether it's after the midterms or later, and it is an open question who — if anyone — will pick up where he left off merging vaccine skepticism with official health policy.

•Fauci's own journal proved he recommended closing the schools. Then he said under oath that he didn't. A doctor who questioned him from day one breaks it all down. In this episode of The Brief, host Shabbos Kestenbaum sits down with Dr. Houman Hemmati — ophthalmologist, biotech entrepreneur, frequent Fox News medical contributor, and one of the earliest public voices questioning COVID lockdown policy — for a comprehensive, evidence-based reckoning with everything that went wrong.

He explains his own background in gain-of-function research (conducted as a…
AI:Dr. Houman Hemmati joins Shabbos Kestenbaum on The Brief to dismantle the fraudulent narrative maintained by Anthony Fauci, revealing that Fauci’s own journals contradict his sworn testimony regarding school closures.
