Recently disclosed text messages show that Dr. Anthony Fauci privately discussed the possibility that COVID-19 vaccination could “theoretically” be associated with miscarriages during early pregnancy, even as he publicly maintained that there were “no red flags” for pregnant women receiving the vaccine.

In a Jan. 25, 2021, text conversation with then-Centers for Disease Control and Prevention Director Dr. Rochelle Walensky and Surgeon General Vivek Murthy, Fauci said additional discussions had raised an issue he believed deserved attention.

“I asked around a bit more and another issue came up that you need to be aware of,” wrote Fauci.

“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.

The exchange took place as Fauci, Walensky, and Murthy were evaluating whether the two-dose COVID-19 vaccine regimen might present different risks depending on the stage of pregnancy.

Walensky responded by agreeing that the concern Fauci raised warranted consideration.

She replied that the first trimester issues he mentioned were “definitely a good point, [especially] after dose two.”

Just over a week later, on Feb. 3, Fauci addressed the issue publicly during a question-and-answer livestream hosted by the Journal of the American Medical Association, saying the Food and Drug Administration had not identified evidence suggesting a danger for pregnant women.

During the event, Fauci said the FDA “found thus far, and we have to be careful, but thus far no red flags about that, about pregnant women.”

Several months afterward, while serving as President Joe Biden’s chief medical adviser, Fauci again publicly encouraged vaccination during pregnancy, citing federal monitoring data.

He stated that “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.”

Additional communications among Fauci, Murthy, and Walensky also show the officials weighing the potential risks of vaccination against the dangers posed by SARS-CoV-2, the virus responsible for COVID-19.

In one exchange, Murthy expressed concern after the World Health Organization issued guidance regarding the Moderna vaccine and pregnancy.

Murthy wrote that he was “surprised to see WHO [World Health Organization] put out a strong like saying they do not recommend moderna [sic] in pregnant women.”

He added, “That’s a strong statement to make and potentially quite damaging to public confidence among pregnant women,” in a Jan. 26, 2021, text sent to Fauci and Walensky.

The messages were released by Sens. Rand Paul of Kentucky and Ron Johnson of Wisconsin after the Senate Homeland Security Committee obtained more than 34,000 text messages and 522 voicemail recordings from Fauci’s government-issued cellphone last week.

According to the two Republican senators, only three contacts were listed on the phone, although they cautioned that it is “too early to determine whether any data has been deleted.”
