WHAT HAPPENED
Two Senate Republicans have released a set of text messages from 2021 that reveal Dr. Anthony Fauci discussing how to weigh the potential risks against the benefits of COVID‑19 vaccines for pregnant women.
According to the texts, which were made public by the Republicans, Fauci was considering the balance of possible harms and protective benefits for pregnant patients when evaluating vaccine guidance. The messages date to the early months of the pandemic, before extensive data on vaccine safety in pregnancy was available, and show Fauci engaging in the same kind of risk‑benefit analysis that guides public health recommendations.
Pregnant women were initially excluded from COVID‑19 vaccine trials, leaving a gap in evidence that health officials had to fill through expert judgment. Fauci’s comments illustrate the deliberative process that informed the evolving guidance issued by the CDC and other agencies.
