• Fauci recently invoked his Fifth Amendment right during a Senate hearing regarding his leadership in the pandemic, following the release of his diaries that criticized former President Trump and detailed pandemic challenges.
• Kennedy emphasized prioritizing constitutional rights in future pandemics and criticized gain-of-function research, aligning with the Trump administration's recent decision to end such research.
• As part of his "Make America Healthy Again" agenda, Kennedy is pushing reforms on processed foods, expressing confidence that new regulations on ultra-processed foods and the GRAS rule will be publicly released within a month.
