Private Fauci texts flag potential first-trimester miscarriage risk from mRNA vaccines

Sen. Ron Johnson released Fauci’s 2021 texts showing he privately warned that cytokine storms after the second COVID vaccine dose could theoretically be linked to miscarriages in the first trimester. Johnson says the private concerns contrast with public messaging and calls it the “tip of the iceberg” as he expands a probe into Fauci’s old government phone. The piece notes a 2021 NEJM study cited by Johnson about miscarriages among pregnancies exposed to mRNA vaccines (104 of 827), arguing the numbers may be skewed; Fauci has invoked the Fifth Amendment in related proceedings, and no comment from his team is reported yet.
