Fauci privately warned of miscarriage risk linked to COVID vaccine while publicly claiming no issues, newly released texts show

WASHINGTON — Dr. Anthony Fauci privately raised concerns that the COVID-19 vaccine could “theoretically” be linked to miscarriages in expectant mothers, despite having publicly insisted there were “no red flags” for pregnant women.

“I asked around a bit more and another issue came up that you need to be aware of,” wrote Fauci in a Jan. 25, 2021, text exchange with then-Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) Director Dr. Rochelle Walensky and Surgeon General Vivek Murthy.

“Since many people have significant cytokines storm and fever after the 2nd dose, this theoretically could be associated with miscarriage in the 1st trimester,” added the then-National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases director.

Days later, on Feb. 3, Fauci said that the FDA “found thus far, and we have to be careful, but thus far no red flags about that, about pregnant women.”

The messages, released by Sens. Rand Paul (R-Ky.) and Ron Johnson (R-Wis.), were taken from more than 34,000 texts and 522 voicemails obtained by the Senate Homeland Security Committee last week from Fauci’s government-issued cell phone.

According to the Republican senators, just three contacts are listed in that phone but it is “too early to determine whether any data has been deleted.”
