[NYP] WASHINGTON — Dr. Anthony Fauci privately raised concerns that the COVID-19 vaccine could "theoretically" be linked to miscarriages in expectant mothers, despite having publicly insisted there were "no red flags" for pregnant women."I asked around a bit more and another issue came up that you need to be aware of," wrote Fauci in a Jan. 25, 2021, text exchange with then-Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) Director Dr. Rochelle Walensky and Surgeon General Vivek Murthy.
"Since many people have significant cytokines storm and fever after the 2nd dose, this theoretically could be associated with miscarriage in the 1st trimester," added the then-National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases director.
Fauci, Walensky and Murthy had been discussing whether the vaccine posed any risks to women who followed the two-shot regimen earlier or later in their pregnancies.
Walensky responded to Fauci that the first trimester issues he raised were "definitely a good point, [especially] after dose two."
Days later, on Feb. 3, Fauci said during a question-and-answer livestream with the Journal of the American Medical Association (JAMA) that the FDA "found thus far, and we have to be careful, but thus far no red flags about that, about pregnant women."
