Former Fox News host Meghan McCain is demanding that Dr. Anthony Fauci face criminal consequences after newly released text messages revealed that the longtime federal health official privately discussed a theoretical miscarriage concern involving COVID-19 vaccination during the first trimester.
The messages, released Monday by Republican Sens. Ron Johnson of Wisconsin and Rand Paul of Kentucky, have reignited a bitter debate over what federal health officials knew, what they communicated to the public, and whether Americans received the full picture during the COVID-19 pandemic.
The 2021 communications involved Fauci, then-CDC Director Rochelle Walensky and Surgeon General Vivek Murthy. In one exchange, Fauci discussed reactions that some people experienced following a second COVID-19 vaccine dose.
