Summary
A Jan. 25, 2021 text from Dr. John Mascola to Anthony Fauci said initial studies avoided first-trimester COVID vaccination because fever could raise miscarriage risk, according to Sen. Ron Johnson.
Johnson said the newly obtained messages and a May 27, 2021 email from then-FDA Commissioner Janet Woodcock about post-vaccination adverse events undercut Fauci’s public assurances that the shots were safe and effective.
Mascola has retained an attorney after Johnson’s team contacted him, while Johnson accused federal officials of ignoring or concealing safety signals instead of investigating them.
Fauci on Friday declined Johnson’s request to appear before a second Senate panel after invoking the Fifth Amendment 111 times at a July 29 hearing, deepening the Republican investigation into his pandemic-era conduct.
