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.
PolitiFact debunks Sen. Ron Johnson’s claim that COVID-19 vaccines cause an 82% miscarriage rate, showing the statistic came from miscounting the denominator in a 2021 v-safe study; when correctly calculated, the miscarriage rate was about 12.6% initially, with follow-ups showing a cumulative risk around 12.8–14.1%, within the normal range. Fauci’s texts reveal early theoretical concerns rather than data proving risk, and numerous large studies find no increased miscarriage risk from vaccination.
MAGA Sen. Ted Cruz promoted a claim that COVID-19 vaccines caused an 82% miscarriage rate, citing limited Jan. 2021 data. After online backlash and a CNN community note correcting the misinterpretation of the Shimabukuro study, he deleted the post and walked back the claim; subsequent research shows no increased miscarriage risk from vaccination and health authorities encouraged vaccination during pregnancy.
The Hulu documentary Travis Barker: Louder Than Fear chronicles Barker’s near-fatal 2008 plane crash, his battle with opioid addiction and sobriety, and his life with Kourtney Kardashian—including their miscarriage Tulip and IVF journey—along with a posthumous Taylor Hawkins cameo, revealing Barker’s resilience across a nine-year filming span now streaming on Hulu.
Senate Republicans released private Fauci messages from January 2021 about potential miscarriage risks linked to COVID vaccines, which right-wing figures seized on to attack Fauci. Scientific data since then show no increased miscarriage risk from vaccination, but the piece situates this within a broader pattern of misinformation and political attacks on Fauci, including contempt of Congress and attempts to rewrite the childhood vaccine schedule.
Newly released internal messages show Fauci privately flagging a theoretical link between second-dose mRNA vaccines and first-trimester miscarriage, while publicly saying there were no red flags among more than 10,000 vaccinated pregnant women (later about 20,000); lawmakers released the texts to highlight a tension between private concerns and public reassurances as safety data continued to be monitored.
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.
Newly released text messages show Dr. Anthony Fauci privately raising a theoretical link between the COVID-19 vaccine and miscarriage due to post-dose fever/cytokine effects, even as he publicly stated there were no red flags for pregnant women. The exchanges among Fauci, CDC Director Rochelle Walensky and Surgeon General Vivek Murthy, released by Senate Republicans, document ongoing risk–benefit discussions about vaccination during pregnancy and have sparked renewed calls for testimony and oversight.
