Fauci Texts Raise 1st-Trimester Miscarriage Risk as Private Notes Clash With Public COVID Assurances

3 articles · Updated · Fox News · Aug 11

Summary

  • January 2021 texts released by Sen. Ron Johnson show Anthony Fauci privately discussing whether second COVID-19 vaccine doses could theoretically be linked to first-trimester miscarriage, despite public statements that no safety flags existed for pregnant women.
  • The newly cited messages add to diary and email disclosures portraying Fauci as privately weighing risks and policy doubts while publicly projecting firmer confidence on vaccines, masking and other pandemic measures.
  • A January 30, 2020 email said Fauci had learned asymptomatic transmission was occurring, undercutting his later explanation that he shifted to backing masks only after that mode of spread became clear.
  • The report says available research still has not found strong evidence that COVID-19 vaccination increases miscarriage risk, but argues the gap between Fauci's private concerns and public messaging deepened mistrust in public health.
