The sources do not show Brandy Zadrozny (the NBC reporter) being banned from Children's Health Defense events; the claimant's own passage asserts a ban for reporting, but that statement is not evidence.

A guest makes this claim. Listeners heard it, so it counts against the post, and on the guest's own record.

This claim is about the present, so it is judged as of the day it was checked.

What was said

… And so that is what we're seeing. And, you know, it's not just that. I think it's really important what you've talked about this whole show, because this is what's also happening at Kennedy's HHS. You know, I've been banned from CHD events for reporting on them, factually. So I couldn't go in person yesterday. I had to watch this cranky speech.

What we found

Context. Sources report that Instagram and Facebook suspended Children's Health Defense's accounts in August 2022 for repeated COVID-19 misinformation violations; this concerns the organization's platform accounts, not a reporter's access to its events.[1][3]

Context. Sources identify Brandy Zadrozny as an NBC News reporter who wrote about RFK Jr. and CHD, but none states that she has been barred from CHD events.[2][4]

Context. The claimant's passage ('I've been banned from CHD events for reporting on them') is the claimant's own assertion and cannot corroborate the claim; the extracted claim also drops the claimant's stated reason and the first-person framing, but the core assertion of a personal event ban is unaddressed by the sources.[5]
