【福克斯新闻独家首发】 牵头调查安东尼·福奇博士此前使用的政府手机的参议院共和党议员向福克斯新闻数字频道表示，这位前新冠疫情总指挥曾担忧疫苗可能导致流产的消息被曝光，“这只是冰山一角”。
在接受福克斯新闻数字频道采访时，约翰逊声称，从福奇的旧政府iPhone中获取的第一批短信清楚表明，这位曾作为美国新冠疫情应对代言人的官员私下言论与公开表态截然不同。
“我们告诉孕妇连一杯酒都别喝，却又强迫、说服她们——有时甚至强制她们——在孕早期就接种实验性基因疗法疫苗，”约翰逊说道。“这实在太恶劣了。”

“这种情况一直如此——我已经知晓此事多年，”他继续说道。“但终于，因为我们拿到了和‘圣徒福奇’相关的短信，这件事终于得到了媒体多年来应有的关注。”
约翰逊和肯塔基州联邦参议员兰德·保罗（共和党）从美国卫生与公众服务部（HHS）获取了福奇担任美国国家过敏和传染病研究所（NIAID）所长期间使用的手机，作为他们对这位前总统首席医疗顾问展开全面调查的一部分。
此事发生之际，保罗正准备以福奇多次援引第五修正案为由将其定为藐视国会——这项动议最终成功，随后已移交司法部（DOJ）处理。
作为参议院国土安全常设调查小组委员会主席的约翰逊，于周一公布了从该设备中找到的第一批私人信息。

这段2021年1月的对话发生在福奇、时任美国疾病控制与预防中心（CDC）主任罗谢尔·瓦伦斯基博士，以及后来在拜登政府期间出任美国卫生局局长的维韦克·默西博士之间。
在往来信息中，福奇承认他对mRNA疫苗对孕妇的影响存在担忧。
“我多打听了一下，还有一个你们需要留意的问题，”福奇写道。“由于许多人在接种第二剂后会出现严重的细胞因子风暴和发烧，这在理论上可能与孕早期流产有关。”
约翰逊指责道，“我从未听过联邦卫生官员承认过注射疫苗会有这种风险”，并指出细胞因子风暴与疫苗接种对肺部的不良反应有关。
“你必须将此与他们的公开言论联系起来，那与此完全相反，还有他们发表的研究成果，”约翰逊说。
他回忆起2021年6月汤姆·岛袋博士发表在《新英格兰医学杂志》上的一项研究，该研究是在福奇最初提出担忧之后开展的。研究显示，在827例接种mRNA疫苗的妊娠案例中，有104例出现了“他们所谓的自发性流产，也就是我们所说的流产”。
但约翰逊辩称，该数据存在偏差。

“在827名女性中，700人在妊娠第三期接种了疫苗，127人在第一和第二孕期接种，而104例流产就发生在这一时间段，”约翰逊说。
“所以正确的比例应该是104除以127，在第一和第二孕期接种疫苗的女性流产率达到82%，”他继续说道。“我的天，这太令人震惊了，而他们早就知道这一点。他们并非愚蠢，只是如此阴险，通过篡改统计数据来误导美国民众、撒谎。”
约翰逊对该手机及其所藏信息的调查仍处于早期阶段，这位议员在发布信息时十分谨慎——他不想泄露他人的个人信息，甚至也不想深入探究福奇的私人生活。

他的主要目标是找出更多福奇言行不一的通讯记录。
“这需要时间，但我的团队看到这些信息时，我的意思是，对我而言，这立即影响到了公共安全，立即影响到了知情同意，”约翰逊说。“所以我必须立刻把这条信息公之于众。但我确信，还有更多内容即将公布。”
“我认为这只是冰山一角，”他补充道。

Fauci in the hot seat as GOP senator tears into ‘truly sick’ vaccine texts: ‘Tip of the iceberg’
Private 2021 messages show Fauci warned cytokine storms after the second dose could cause miscarriage

Sen. Ron Johnson, R-Wis., is investigating Dr. Anthony Fauci’s old government phone and released texts showing the former COVID czar raised concerns that first-trimester COVID vaccinations could potentially cause miscarriages.
NEW You can now listen to Fox News articles!
FIRST ON FOX: A Senate Republican leading the charge on investigating Dr. Anthony Fauci’s old government phone told Fox News Digital that the revelation that the former COVID-czar was concerned that vaccines could cause miscarriages was “just the tip of the iceberg.”
Sen. Ron Johnson, R-Wis., in an interview with Fox News Digital, alleged that the first tranche of texts from Fauci’s old government iPhone was a clear sign that the man who became the face of the nation’s COVID-19 response said one thing privately while taking a different message to the public.
“We tell pregnant women don’t even have a glass of wine and yet we coerce them, convince them, sometimes mandated them, to get an experimental gene therapy as early as the first trimester,” Johnson said. “This is truly sick.”

FAUCI’S HHS IPHONE TURNED OVER TO SENATE INVESTIGATORS AS CONTEMPT VOTE LOOMS

“And the way this has been — I’ve known about this for years,” he continued. “But finally, because we have a text associated with St. Fauci, it’s finally getting the play in the media that it’s been deserving for years.”
Johnson and Sen. Rand Paul, R-Ky., obtained Fauci’s phone from his time as the head of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID) from the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) as part of their broader dive into the former chief medical advisor to the president.
It came as Paul was readying to hold Fauci in contempt of Congress for repeatedly invoking the Fifth Amendment — a gambit he successfully pulled off and has since handed off to the Department of Justice (DOJ).
Johnson, who chairs the Senate Homeland Security Permanent Subcommittee on Investigations, released the first tranche of private messages found on the device on Monday.

That conversation from Jan. 2021 was between Fauci, then-Centers for Disease Control (CDC) Director Dr. Rochelle Walensky and Dr. Vivek Murthy, who would become Surgeon General during the Biden administration.
During the back and forth, Fauci admitted that he had concerns about the impact of mRNA vaccines on pregnant women.
“I asked around a bit more and another issue came up that you need to be aware of,” Fauci wrote. “Since many people have significant cytokines storm and fever after the 2nd dose, this theoretically could be associated with miscarriage in the 1st trimester.”
Johnson charged that “I’ve never heard a federal health official admit that about the injections,” and noted that cytokines storms were linked with adverse effects to the lungs from vaccination.
“What you have to connect this to is what they were saying publicly, that was contrary to that, but also what they’re publishing,” Johnson said.
He recalled a study published in the New England Journal of Medicine in 2021 from Dr. Tom Shimabukoro in June of 2021 after Fauci’s initial concern that found that of 827 pregnancies that were exposed to the mRNA vaccines, 104 had “what they call spontaneous abortions, we would call it miscarriage.”
Johnson argued, however, that the numbers were skewed.

Linda Fagan testifies at a Senate Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs Subcommittee on Investigations hearing on Capitol Hill on June 11, 2024 in Washington, DC.

“Of the 827 women, 700 got their vaccination or the injection in the third trimester, 127 got them in trimester one and two, which is where the 104 miscarriages occur,” Johnson said.
“So the proper percentage is 104 divided by 127, an 82% miscarriage rate with women who got the injection in the first second trimester,” he continued. “I mean, that is shocking, and they knew it. They knew it, they’re not that stupid. They’re just that devious to play with the statistics that way to misinform, to lie to the American public.”
Johnson’s investigation of the phone and its trove of information is in its early stages, and the lawmaker is approaching information dumps with caution — he doesn’t want to reveal people’s personal information or even delve into Fauci’s personal life.

His main focus is finding more communications where Fauci said one thing privately, and did another in the public eye.
“This is going to take time, but when my staff saw this, I mean, to me, this immediately impacts public safety, immediately impacts informed consent,” Johnson said. “And so I had to get this one out there right away. But there are, I’m sure, way more to come.”
“I think this is the tip of the iceberg,” he continued.
Fox News Digital did not immediately receive comment from the law firm representing Fauci.
