Did Anthony Fauci tell pregnant women the truth, or did he sell them certainty he never had?

Senator Rand Paul just thanked Joe Rogan for saying out loud what official Washington still treats as unsayable. In a post from his Senate account, Paul wrote that Rogan is right to call out Fauci’s failures on COVID, especially the guidance pushed on pregnant women and Fauci’s role in gain-of-function research. “More people need to see through Fauci’s dangerous lies,” Paul added.

That is not a podcast rant. It is a senator who has spent years dragging the paper trail into daylight, now pointing America toward the one microphone large enough to make the country listen.

What Rogan Said Out Loud

On his show, Rogan did not whisper. He called gain-of-function work what a lot of lab people already know it can become: dual-use research dressed up as public health. Taxpayers fund labs that make viruses more transmissible and more lethal, then get told the work is about “protecting people from future outbreaks.” Rogan put it bluntly. A lot of this is warfare science with a humanitarian press release.

He also walked through the Fauci pregnancy file that Senate investigators just dumped into public view. In late January 2021, Fauci sat on a text chain with then-CDC Director Rochelle Walensky and Vivek Murthy, who would soon be surgeon general. The question on the table was simple. For a pregnant woman, is there any data or even a theoretical reason to vaccinate early in pregnancy versus later?

Fauci first said there was no such reason. Then he asked around. Then he came back with this line, now sitting in the official record:

“Since many people have significant cytokines storm and fever after the 2nd dose, this theoretically could be associated with miscarriage in the first trimester.”

Walensky answered that it was “definitely a good point, especially after dose two.”

That same day, Dr. John Mascola, then director of NIAID’s Vaccine Research Center, texted Fauci a correction of his own. Initial studies, Mascola wrote, avoided vaccination in the first trimester “due to possible fever and higher rates of miscarriage in first trimester.”

Days later, Fauci was on television talking about tens of thousands of vaccinated pregnant women and “no red flags.”

Private caution. Public certainty. Same man. Same week.
