Secret texts from Dr Fauci’s COVID-era phone released – shot ‘could be associated with miscarriage in the 1st trimester’ | 10 Aug 2026 | Republican Senators on Capitol Hill have released new COVID-era text messages from Dr. Anthony Fauci’s government-issued cellphone in a bombshell revelation Monday. Ron Johnson and Rand Paul published a series of messages from January 25 and 26, 2021, which included discussions of the COVID vaccine as it pertained to pregnant women. The conversation in question was between Fauci, Rochelle Walensky, former director of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, and Vivek Murthy, former United States Surgeon General. One of the texts released by the GOP duo reveals that Fauci was concerned in January 2021 that the second dose of the COVID shot “theoretically could be associated with miscarriage in the 1st trimester.” Johnson alleges that senior FDA officials ignored warnings that the agency’s COVID-19 vaccine safety monitoring system was failing to detect potential safety signals.
