A Republican senator is investigating former government official Dr. Anthony Fauci’s phone records. He claims these reveal hidden concerns about vaccines and their potential impact on miscarriages. Senator Ron Johnson spoke out on these findings in an interview.
Revelations from Fauci’s Texts
Senator Ron Johnson from Wisconsin reported that texts from Fauci’s old government phone suggest a discrepancy between Fauci’s private views and public statements regarding vaccines. He expressed concern over what he deems as misleading information. Johnson highlighted the issue of encouraging pregnant women to receive vaccines, comparing it to advising against drinking alcohol.
“We tell pregnant women don’t even have a glass of wine and yet we coerce them, convince them, sometimes mandated them, to get an experimental gene therapy,” Johnson stated.
Texts and Investigations
Dr. Fauci’s reluctance to answer questions in recent hearings has fueled further scrutiny. The phone was accessed by Johnson and Senator Rand Paul, following Paul’s effort to hold Fauci in contempt for invoking his Fifth Amendment rights. Johnson’s release of the messages included one specific conversation regarding vaccines’ effects on pregnant women.
Fauci mentioned in a message that he was concerned about how the immune response to the vaccine, which can involve fever and cytokine storms, might impact early-term pregnancies.
Miscarriage Data in Context
Senator Johnson argued that statistics from a 2021 study in the New England Journal of Medicine were misleading. The study, led by Dr. Tom Shimabukuro, showed 104 out of 827 pregnancies exposed to the vaccine ended in miscarriage. Johnson criticized these figures, stating a more accurate interpretation would highlight a much higher rate of miscarriage in early-term pregnancies after vaccination.
“Of the 827 women, 700 got their vaccination in the third trimester, 127 in the first two trimesters,” said Johnson. “So the proper percentage is 104 divided by 127, an 82% miscarriage rate with women who got the injection in the first second trimester.”
Ongoing Investigation
Johnson is cautious with the information and is in the early stages of the investigation. He wants to ensure public safety and informed consent by uncovering any inconsistencies between Fauci’s private and public statements.
Johnson is committed to further exploration of these texts to provide clarity on public health messaging.
The law firm representing Fauci has not yet commented on the release of these texts.
