FactCheck.org notes no evidence links COVID-19 vaccination in pregnancy to miscarriages, debunks the false 82% miscarriage-rate figure caused by an improper calculation, and shows Fauci’s private texts were cautious yet largely consistent with public guidance as data evolved; later analyses, including a 2026 CDC review, found no increased miscarriage risk from vaccination.
