Ron Johnson Just Exposed What Anthony Fauci Texted About Pregnant Women and the COVID Shot

Anthony Fauci told pregnant women that the COVID vaccine had no red flags – while privately warning colleagues it could cause miscarriages.

Now we know why he took the Fifth Amendment 111 times.

Anthony Fauci's own texts prove he knew – and told the public something completely different.

Fauci's Private Warning, His Public Reassurance

On January 25, 2021, Fauci was texting with CDC Director Rochelle Walensky and Dr. Vivek Murthy – Biden's future Surgeon General.

The subject was mRNA vaccines and pregnant women.

Fauci wrote that the cytokine storms and high fevers many people experienced after the second dose "theoretically could be associated with miscarriage in the 1st trimester."

Walensky replied: "Definitely a good point, esp after dose two."

Nine days later – February 3, 2021 – Fauci went on television and said the FDA had found "no red flags" about the vaccine and pregnant women.

By August 2021, he told a reporter that "tens and tens and tens of thousands" of pregnant women had been followed after vaccination and there was "no indication whatsoever" of any increased adverse outcomes.

He knew what he knew.

He said what he said.

Those are two different things.

The Study That Buried the Number

Johnson isn't just pointing to the texts – he's pointing to what happened after them.

In June 2021, the New England Journal of Medicine published a study by CDC's Dr. Tom Shimabukuro on vaccine safety in pregnancy.

The study followed 827 women with completed pregnancies.

104 of them had miscarriages – a rate of 12.6%.

The CDC announced that rate was unremarkable and declared no safety concerns.

What they left out: 700 of those 827 women received their vaccine in the third trimester – well past the point where miscarriages occur.

Those 700 women went into the denominator anyway.

Strip them out and you get 104 miscarriages among 127 first and second trimester vaccinations.

That's an 82% miscarriage rate.

Johnson put it plainly: "They knew it. They're not that stupid. They're just that devious to play with the statistics that way to misinform, to lie to the American public."

34,000 Texts and This Is Just the First One

Fauci's government iPhone – with more than 34,000 text messages and 522 voicemails – landed in Senate investigators' hands on August 5, 2026.

Johnson and Rand Paul obtained it from HHS as part of their ongoing investigation into the man who ran America's COVID response for decades.

Paul already held Fauci in contempt of Congress after Fauci invoked the Fifth Amendment 111 times during a July 2026 Senate hearing – refusing to answer a single question about COVID origins, gain-of-function research, or what he told the public versus what he knew privately.

The contempt referral has been sent directly to the DOJ.

Johnson's team released the first text chain this week.

One text. Already this damning.

"This is truly sick," Johnson told Fox News Digital. "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 as early as the first trimester."

Johnson is moving through the phone carefully, keeping his focus on the gap between what Fauci said in private and what he told the country.

"This is going to take time," Johnson said. "But I think this is the tip of the iceberg."

What 34,000 Texts Mean

Every American who got mandated, coerced, or pressured into that shot deserves to know this.

Fauci flagged the miscarriage risk privately on January 25, 2021 – then watched a federal study bury it in manipulated statistics six months later.

Then he invoked the Fifth Amendment 111 times rather than answer a single question about any of it under oath.

That's not the behavior of a man with nothing to hide.

The DOJ has the contempt referral. Senate investigators have the phone.

And there are 34,000 more texts to go.
