Fauci Texted About Miscarriage Risk, Then Told Pregnant Women Everything Was Fine

Let me tell you something. When you’ve had four babies, you get pretty good at reading between the lines of what doctors tell you and what they actually know. And these newly released texts from Dr. Anthony Fauci’s government phone? They’re a doozy.

On January 25, 2021, Fauci texted CDC Director Rochelle Walensky and Surgeon General Vivek Murthy with a concern. “Since many people have significant cytokines storm and fever after the 2nd dose, this theoretically could be associated with miscarriage in the 1st trimester.” Walensky wrote back that it was “definitely a good point, [especially] after dose two.” Murthy called it “a really good point.”

Nine days later, there was Fauci on a JAMA livestream, telling the country the FDA had found “no red flags” for pregnant women. No red flags. He’d just raised a red flag in a group chat with the two people running the pandemic response, and nine days later he’s on camera saying everything looks clean.

Now, I’ve been in enough group chats to know what this looks like. You say one thing privately, you say another thing publicly, and you hope nobody ever puts the two side by side. Well, Senators Rand Paul and Ron Johnson just put them side by side. They pulled these messages from more than 34,000 texts and 522 voicemails on Fauci’s government-issued phone, and they released them Monday.

Here’s what really gets me. Murthy was worried about the World Health Organization telling pregnant women not to get the Moderna shot. Not worried about whether the warning might be right. Worried that it would be “potentially quite damaging to public confidence among pregnant women.” Public confidence. That’s what they were managing. Not your health. Not your baby. The narrative.

And Fauci? He later told the public that “tens and tens and tens of thousands of women” tracked by the CDC showed “no indication whatsoever” of increased adverse issues. He said it was “pretty clear that pregnant women should get vaccinated.” This from the same man who invoked the Fifth Amendment 111 times during a July 29 congressional hearing. One hundred and eleven times. If you’ve got nothing to hide, you don’t plead the Fifth 111 times. I don’t care what law school you went to. That’s just common sense.

Now, I know what the fact-checkers will say. They’ll point to studies showing no increased miscarriage risk. They’ll say a theoretical concern isn’t the same as a proven danger. And maybe that’s true. But here’s my question: why didn’t Fauci mention the theoretical concern publicly? Why didn’t he say, “Look, we’re watching this, there’s a possible issue with fever and miscarriage in the first trimester, talk to your doctor”? Why did he go straight to “no red flags”?

Because that would have given people a choice. And these people don’t trust you to make one.

Pregnant women weren’t even in the trials. Fauci admitted that himself. They were excluded. So every pregnant woman who got that shot in early 2021 was part of an experiment that nobody called an experiment. And the man running it had a private text on his phone saying there might be a problem.

I don’t know about you, but I’d like to speak to the manager.
