These private messages, released by Republican senators, show Fauci discussing potential risks such as cytokine storms and early pregnancy issues, which he did not disclose publicly at the time. instead, Fauci publicly claimed there were no red flags regarding vaccination safety for pregnant women, a contradiction that is criticized as potentially harmful. Mainstream outlets like CNN and The Washington Post have framed these releases as part of political efforts, downplaying the seriousness of Fauci\u2019s private concerns. Although later studies suggested the vaccines are safe during pregnancy, the private concerns raised at the time suggest Fauci may have misrepresented the risks publicly, a discrepancy that critics argue could have led to tragic outcomes.  <\/p>\n<p class=\"readmore\">\n    <button onclick=\"showReadMore()\" id=\"readmorebtn\">Read more&#8230;<\/button>\n<\/p>\n<hr id=\"line\">\n<span id=\"more\"><\/p>\n<div>\n<p>Newly released texts show Dr. Anthony Fauci privately raised concerns that the Covid-19 vaccine could cause miscarriages despite publicly assuring expecting mothers that the vaccine was safe. It\u2019s a lie that resulted in women losing their children. But rather than scrutinize Fauci\u2019s conflicting statements, CNN and The Washington Post tried to cover up for Fauci as part of their coverage.<\/p>\n<p>CNN\u2019s Jessie Yeung <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cnn.com\/2026\/08\/11\/politics\/fauci-text-messages-released-covid-vaccine-pregnancy-hnk\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">wrote<\/a> \u201cRepublican senators released Fauci\u2019s old texts about Covid vaccines and pregnancy. Years of evidence show they\u2019re safe.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cTwo Republican senators have released the first batch of text messages retrieved from Dr. Anthony Fauci\u2019s former government phone as part of an investigation into his leadership and actions during the Covid-19 pandemic \u2014 including messages in which he discusses the possible risks and safety of the vaccine during pregnancy,\u201d she continued.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/thefederalist.com\/2026\/08\/11\/texts-fauci-and-friends-covered-up-concerns-about-the-covid-vax-and-miscarriages\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Text messages from Fauci<\/a> include a January 2021 message in which Fauci wrote: \u201cI asked around a bit more and another issue came up that you need to be aware of. Since many people have significant <a href=\"https:\/\/my.clevelandclinic.org\/health\/diseases\/cytokine-storm\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">cytokines storm<\/a> and fever after the 2nd dose [of the vaccine], this theoretically could be associated with miscarriage in the 1st trimester.\u201d <\/p>\n<p>\u201cDefinitely a good point, esp after dose two,\u201d then-Centers for Disease Control and Prevention Director Rochelle Walensky responded. <\/p>\n<p>Vivek Murthy, then-U.S. surgeon general under Presidents Barack Obama, Donald Trump, and Joe Biden, said he had \u201cbeen hearing the concern about the mRNA causing mutations in the developing fetus as well. That\u2019s a really good point re the cytokine storm post second dose.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Fauci also disclosed concerns he heard from \u201cfemale health care professionals\u201d that \u201cinjecting a \u2018genetic\u2019 vaccine very early in pregnancy\u201d could cause issues. Despite the concerns he heard, he publicly <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ronjohnson.senate.gov\/2026\/08\/10\/senators-johnson-paul-release-initial-texts-from-dr-faucis-government-iphone-2\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">insisted<\/a> a few days later that he had found \u201cno red flags about that, about pregnant women.\u201d (The CDC would later double down on its vaccine recommendation despite private concerns amongst Fauci and others.)<\/p>\n<p>Despite the private concerns that highlighted Fauci\u2019s contradiction, Yeung quickly reported on Fauci\u2019s texts before trying to couch their significance with evidence gathered after he made his public assurances. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cStudies have since shown that the vaccines were safe during pregnancy, and that serious adverse reactions are rare,\u201d Yeung nonetheless writes.<\/p>\n<p>But studies conducted <em>after<\/em> these private concerns were raised do not mean that Fauci knew these studies in early 2021 when he was <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/latino-democrats-shift-from-quiet-concern-to-open-opposition-to-bidens-concessions-in-border-talks\/\" title=\"Latino Democrats now openly oppose Biden&#039;s border concessions, abandoning their previous quiet concern\">privately raising concerns<\/a>. Nor do they answer why Fauci publicly said the vaccines were safe when privately discussing the possible connection to miscarriages. <\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonpost.com\/politics\/2026\/08\/10\/gop-lawmakers-release-fauci-texts-discussing-covid-vaccine-pregnancy\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">The Washington Post\u2019s<\/a> Anna Liss-Roy and Rachel Roubein similarly angled their piece: \u201cGOP lawmakers release Fauci texts discussing covid vaccine and pregnancy,\u201d with a subhead emphasizing that there are \u201cmore than 34,000\u201d texts recovered (as if <em>that\u2019s<\/em> the biggest takeaway).<\/p>\n<p>\u201cTwo Republican senators on Monday released the first in a trove of text messages from Anthony S. Fauci\u2019s former government cellphone, including a discussion with health officials about whether the covid vaccine posed a risk for pregnant women,\u201d the lede reads. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cIn a news release, the senators pointed to several subsequent public statements from Fauci and other administration officials in which they said the benefits of pregnant women getting vaccinated appeared to outweigh the risks,\u201d The Post reported. \u201cIn February 2021, for instance, Fauci said the Food and Drug Administration has \u2018found, thus far \u2014 and we\u2019ve got to be careful \u2014 but thus far, no red flags about that, about pregnant women.&#8217;\u201d<\/p>\n<p>But framing this as though \u201cFauci and other administration officials\u201d were weighing whether \u201cthe benefits of pregnant women getting vaccinated appeared to outweigh the risks\u201d is not the point nor accurate. Fauci unequivocally said in February of 2021 that the FDA had \u201cfound, thus far\u2026no red flags\u2026about pregnant women.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Yet privately Fauci had acknowledged red flags and miscarriage potential. Rather than acknowledge the public versus private contradiction in Fauci\u2019s statements, they just treat these messages as part of Republicans\u2019 larger efforts to release texts from Fauci. <\/p>\n<p>Even if all data ultimately pointed to the vaccine being safe for pregnant women, Fauci never accurately and honestly communicated that at the time of his public statements on the vaccines\u2019 safety there <em>were not<\/em> studies to support his public declarations about safety. In fact, he privately had concerns about their safety. But he never voiced those. That contradiction could have cost a mother her child \u2014 but that matters naught to the propaganda press.<\/p>\n<hr>\n<p>      Brianna Lyman is an elections correspondent at The Federalist.
