From Newsmax.com (Aug. 10):
Text messages obtained from the government-issued cellphone of Dr. Anthony Fauci show the former director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases privately raised the possibility that a reaction to the COVID-19 vaccine could theoretically be associated with miscarriages.
Days later, he publicly said regulators had found "no red flags" involving pregnant women.
The messages, released Monday by Sens. Rand Paul, R-Ky., and Ron Johnson, R-Wis., were among more than 34,000 texts obtained by the Senate Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs Committee, which Paul chairs. The government-issued iPhone also contained more than 522 voicemails.
Paul and Johnson said in a news release that only three contacts were listed and that all other text messages were identified only with phone numbers rather than contact names. They said it was too early to determine whether any data was deleted.
Johnson referred to the revelations as "a major scandal" during an appearance Monday night on Newsmax's "Carl Higbie FRONTLINE." He added that the information was found after a "quick little search" and that lawmakers have yet to go through the full trove of texts and voicemails.
"I thought we better release this one right away because it impacts public health today," Johnson said.
Fauci, then-CDC Director Dr. Rochelle Walensky, and then-Surgeon General Dr. Vivek Murthy discussed potential risks of COVID-19 vaccination during pregnancy, including whether the timing of vaccination could affect those risks.
"I asked around a bit more and another issue came up that you need to be aware of," Fauci wrote in a Jan. 25, 2021, text exchange with Walensky and 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," Fauci added.
Walensky replied: "Definitely a good point, esp. after dose two."
Murthy replied: "This is really helpful, thanks. I've been hearing the concern about the mRNA causing mutations in the developing fetus as well. That's a really good point re the cytokine storm post second dose."
Other messages showed Fauci, Murthy, and Walensky weighing potential vaccination risks against the risks COVID-19 posed to pregnant women.
Fauci noted that more than 10,000 pregnant women had been vaccinated at the time without reported problems and that animal toxicology studies had raised no red flags.
A day later, Murthy mentioned in a text to Fauci and Walensky that he was "surprised to see WHO [World Health Organization] put out a strong [line] saying they do not recommend moderna in pregnant women."
"That's a strong statement to make and potentially quite damaging to public confidence among pregnant women," Murthy wrote.
On Feb. 3, 2021, Fauci said during a question-and-answer livestream with the Journal of the American Medical Association that the FDA had "found thus far, and we have to be careful, but thus far no red flags about that, about pregnant women."
On Aug. 30, 2021, Fauci, who also served as chief medical adviser to the Biden White House, told pregnancy expert Heidi Murkoff, "[If] you look at the literally — literally — tens and tens and tens of thousands of women who have been followed by the CDC, who have been vaccinated when they were pregnant, there's no indication whatsoever that there's any increase of any adverse issues in a pregnant woman who was vaccinated compared to a pregnant woman who wasn't vaccinated … it's pretty clear that pregnant women should get vaccinated."
Paul's committee last week voted to hold Fauci in contempt of Congress after he invoked the Fifth Amendment more than 100 times during a July 29 hearing, even though Fauci received a broad pardon from former President Joe Biden.
Paul then referred the contempt finding to the Department of Justice for potential prosecution.
