Just as Anthony Fauci, once the chief of the nation’s National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, now retired on a pension of hundreds of thousands of tax dollars a year, and a key player in the often ineffectual COVID-19 distancing, shots and shutdowns, was taking the 5th Amendment in declining to answer questions from Congress, another detail about the China virus emerged.

That he likely suffered a shot-related injury himself.

A report at the Gateway Pundit cited the comments from current Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. in an interview with Laura Ingraham.

They were discussing revelations from the Fauci diaries that have been released to the public, and Kennedy cited Fauci’s own reference to a June 2021 pulmonary infarction.

“Kennedy told Ingraham that five months after Fauci’s widely televised Moderna vaccination at the NIH, the doctor suffered a serious pulmonary event that clearly indicates a vaccine injury, yet never disclosed it to the public,” the report explained.

“Kennedy characterized that episode as evidence Fauci was ‘vaccine injured’ while continuing to insist such side effects were not occurring at scale.”

Kennedy also pointed out that Fauci privately considered the possibility COVID came out of a lab in China doing experiments on how to make viruses worse, even though he publicly insisted that it was all natural.

Kennedy also cast doubt on Fauci’s campaigns regarding masks, social distancing, transmission, natural immunity and vaccine efficacy, revealing Fauci’s own diaries show his internal doubts differed sharply from his public statements.

The diaries also show Fauci was describing himself as the most famous person in the country, suggesting “narcissism.”

A report at PJMedia said while Fauci was “assuring Americans that the COVID-19 vaccines were safe and effective,” he was suffering from a “rare” adverse event.

Then, the report said, “he hid it from the country.”

Kennedy said, “So he lied about masks, he lied about social distancing, he lied about the transmission, he lied about natural immunity, he lied about the capacity, as you just said, of the vaccine to prevent infection.”

Kennedy continued, “He got vaccinated at a very, very public press conference in January of 2021.” Then months later, he “had a pulmonary infarction, which is one of the adverse events that NIH, CDC and FDA said are expected from the vaccine.”

Kennedy charged, “He never told anybody. He got treated for it privately by the best doctors in America at the same time, he was telling everybody that was not an adverse event.”

Said the report, “Think about that for a second. The man who badgered every American into taking the shot, insisting it was perfectly safe, appears to have experienced one of the exact injuries his own agencies flagged, then quietly got elite private care while assuring the public that such reactions weren’t real. Ordinary Americans who reported similar problems got dismissed and mocked. Fauci got the best doctors in America.”
