Ron Johnson Releases New Fauci Text and Email After Fauci Pleads the Fifth 111 Times

Senator Ron Johnson is pressing ahead with his investigation into Dr. Anthony Fauci. The Wisconsin Republican says newly released texts and emails raise serious questions about what federal health officials knew during the COVID-19 pandemic—and what they told the public.

Johnson discussed the evidence during an appearance on Sunday Morning Futures with guest host Jackie DeAngelis. The latest material includes a message from Dr. John Mascola, who was then director of the Vaccine Research Center at the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases.

According to Johnson, Mascola sent Fauci a text on January 25, 2021. The message addressed pregnancy studies and concerns involving vaccination during the first trimester.

“I am corrected on pregnancy studies. Initial Studies avoid vaccination in first trimester due to possible fever and higher rates of miscarriage in first trimester[.]”

Johnson said he wants Mascola to explain the message directly.

“I am hoping Dr. Mascola will fully cooperate by talking to us and clarifying what this text means,” Ron Johnson said.

The senators said the message provides additional context for earlier communications involving Fauci, Dr. Vivek Murthy, and Dr. Rochelle Walensky. Those discussions reportedly included concerns about mRNA COVID shots “theoretically” resulting in “miscarriage in the 1st trimester.”

The newly released records follow a first batch of text messages from Fauci’s COVID-era iPhone. Johnson and Senator Rand Paul released those messages last Monday. The Gateway Pundit previously reported that the texts showed Fauci privately knew about an 82% miscarriage rate among women vaccinated during the first trimester, while the data was not made public.

Johnson also released an email from Dr. Janet Woodcock. In the May 2021 email, Woodcock reportedly told Fauci about patients suffering from adverse events that were difficult to classify.

“no one takes them seriously, no one knows how to treat them, and there is no effort to study this.”

Johnson said Fauci appeared reluctant to respond but ultimately could not ignore the message.

“Oddly, Dr. Anthony Fauci seemed reluctant to respond to her but felt he couldn’t ignore her,” Johnson said.

The investigation has already produced a major confrontation. Fauci was warned by Johnson after refusing to appear for a private transcribed interview. That came after Fauci pleaded the Fifth Amendment 111 times, according to the report.

During the television interview, DeAngelis asked what would happen next and noted that Todd Blanche was weighing in. Johnson said investigators were reviewing the documents they had only recently received.

“We are looking at our options as well, but what we are gonna continue to do is go through the documents we just received. Understand, we only got his phone a week ago. We got his diary a couple weeks ago,” Johnson said.

Johnson accused federal officials of failing to track and communicate possible safety signals. He said officials had a responsibility to investigate warning signs and share them with doctors, practitioners, and the public.

“They didn’t do their job. They didn’t take their responsibilities seriously, looking for safety signals and then passing those safety signals along to doctors, practitioners, and the public,” Johnson continued.

He also criticized officials for repeatedly insisting there were no red flags.

“We see time and time again these governing officials whose responsibility was to surveille for safety signals, weren’t doing their job. When they saw something, they covered it up. They kept saying, no red flags, no safety signals,” Johnson said.

DeAngelis said the messages and emails would lead many Americans to ask why the warnings were not communicated so people could make their own risk-benefit decisions. Johnson added another question: why, he asked, does the legacy media continue defending Fauci?

Johnson said the investigation will continue as lawmakers work through Fauci’s phone, diary, texts, and emails. The newly released records are now central to that effort.
