Well, buckle up — because what just happened in that Senate hearing wasn’t your average bureaucratic check-in. No, this was a political street fight disguised as public health policy, and the gloves came off before most Americans even finished their morning coffee.
Robert F. Kennedy Jr., now Secretary of Health and Human Services, walked into the lion’s den on Thursday and torched the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention in front of God, country, and a deeply uncomfortable Senate panel. His message? The CDC flunked COVID-101, burned the Constitution in the process, and now needs to be fumigated from top to bottom.
Oh, but that wasn’t even the spicy part.
Kennedy — with all the precision of a man holding receipts, charts, and a long memory — didn’t just throw the CDC under the bus. He drove the bus. Backed it up. And parked it squarely on everything from the infant-masking fiasco to school closures to the suspiciously timed explosion of childhood chronic disease. And if you thought this was going to be a polite policy conversation, think again.
RFK Jr. just went off for 2 minutes straight tearing into the politicization of COVID.
The entire room went silent.
Watch:
“The whole process was politicized. Senator, I mean, we were lied to about everything.”

Because Kennedy didn’t just stop at the agency failures — he went right after the senators themselves.
Yep. He looked right at Sen. Ron Wyden — who’s been perched in a cushy chair on the Senate Finance Committee since roughly the Jurassic era — and asked him why, on his watch, childhood chronic disease rates skyrocketed to a horrifying 76%. Wyden blinked. Kennedy didn’t.
🚨 HOLY CRAP! RFK Jr. just absolutely EVISCERATED Democrat Senator Ron Wyden
“Senator, you’ve sat in that chair for how long? 20, 25 years? While the chronic disease in our children went up to 76%. And you said NOTHING. You never ASKED the question why it’s happening!”

Now here’s where it gets even messier: Kennedy is not playing by Washington’s usual rules. He fired CDC Director Susan Monarez after just a few weeks on the job. Why? She reportedly tried to stonewall his overhaul of the vaccine advisory committee — a committee, by the way, that’s been riddled with documented conflicts of interest for decades.
Predictably, the media narrative spun into chaos. Monarez ran to the Wall Street Journal with an op-ed claiming Kennedy pressured her to “preapprove” a committee outcome. Kennedy called that out as a lie — and denied even meeting with her privately. But facts don’t tend to matter when you’re poking at the sacred cow of vaccine orthodoxy.
And if you thought this was just about policy disagreements? Not even close.
Sen. Elizabeth Warren nearly swallowed her pearls when Kennedy had the audacity to demand clinical trial data before the government starts recommending COVID booster shots for toddlers again. She accused him of taking vaccines “away from people.” You know — because asking for proof before injecting children with a pharmaceutical product is now somehow a right-wing extremist position.
Warren, conveniently, forgot to mention that two top FDA vaccine officials resigned in 2021 after being pressured to approve boosters without enough data. Kennedy reminded her. She didn’t like it.
Also not mentioned by Warren? The over $800,000 she raked in from pharmaceutical industry PACs and employees during the 2020 cycle. Because apparently, that’s the kind of “trusted source” we’re supposed to believe has no bias.
Oh, and Kennedy’s not finished. He’s touched third rail after third rail in just a few months: food dyes, baby formula ingredients, the “Generally Recognized as Safe” loophole, fluoride in tap water, DEI madness, and even ending gain-of-function research. For a guy some called unqualified, he’s moving faster than most cabinet secretaries manage in four years.
But here’s the part that should have every American — regardless of party — a little on edge: Kennedy is airing the CDC’s dirty laundry in a way few insiders ever do. He’s saying out loud what millions of parents already suspected when their kids were forced into Zoom school, diapered in masks, and left behind while the “experts” gave each other awards.
However, here’s the really concerning part. The CIA and other lefties don’t care that we voted for this. They’re planning another sabotage and now there is a manual for it:
🚨Deeply concerning:
Employees at HHS are widely circulating a CIA manual of how to subvert President Trump and Sec Kennedy’s agenda from within. https://t.co/OUjYumPLTq

The response from Washington? Panic.
The old guard — from both parties — is terrified that Kennedy’s approach might actually resonate. That someone in D.C. finally has the guts to say: we got it wrong, people got hurt, and it’s time to clean house.
And if that’s the new standard? Then a lot more heads than Monarez’s might be rolling soon.
