The reporting
Sens. Ron Johnson and Rand Paul released the first tranche of texts from Fauci’s government cellphone from a cache they say includes more than 34,000 messages and 522 voicemails. In a January 2021 exchange with CDC Director Rochelle Walensky and Surgeon General Vivek Murthy, Fauci wrote that fever and other reactions after a second mRNA vaccine dose could theoretically be associated with first-trimester miscarriage. Days later, Fauci publicly said regulators had found “no red flags” involving pregnant women.
