5 tested claims: read plainly, 3 holds and 2 unresolved; read at their widest, 4 fails and 1 unresolved.
Kennedy is still financially entangled with the vaccine litigation industry he came from, through a settlement fee now routed to his son, while running the agency that sets vaccine policy.
The catchThe transfer is real and disclosed. Whether the son has actually received proceeds, and whether it was arranged to preserve the benefit, rests on Kennedy's own account.
Fauci had intelligence pointing to a Wuhan lab and a bioweapons-adjacent origin, concealed it, and his refusal to answer confirms a cover-up meriting prosecution.
The catchWhether silence signals guilt is not something anyone can settle, and the bioweapons and test-run claims fail against every independent assessment.
A federal court has found, on the FDA's own record, that mifepristone is safe and effective, so continued restriction is an attack on evidence-based science.
The catchThe ruling found the agency's 2023 restrictions inadequately justified under administrative law. It didn't strike them down and it made no safety finding of its own.
The Republican pursuit of Fauci is bad-faith theatre run by people who were vaccinated themselves, and the distrust it spreads is costing Republican voters their health.
The catchThe peer-reviewed study behind the health claim measures chronic-disease markers, not vaccine-refusal deaths, and the hypocrisy point rests on one chef's recollection.
Going around the FDA's later-stage review will deliver cures its slow process would otherwise deny, and Montana's law is a model for the country.
The catchBioethicists reviewing it identified a risk pathway that ordinary trial-stage risk doesn't carry: no FDA or ethics-board oversight, broad legal immunity for providers, and prices the providers set themselves.
