Dr. Anthony Fauci, former director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, privately said that fever and cytokine-related reactions after a second mRNA vaccine dose 'theoretically could be associated with miscarriage in the 1st trimester.'

He also stated that approximately 20,000 pregnant women had been vaccinated under Emergency Use Authorization 'with no red flags.'

Dr. Vivek Murthy expressed concern that a strong recommendation against vaccination based on a lack of data could be 'potentially quite damaging to public confidence among pregnant women.'

Senator Ron Johnson stated that the released chat logs 'could have an immediate impact [on] public health and the principle of informed consent.'
