Fauci's Private 'Fever Concerns' Memo Highlights Deliberate Withholding of Miscarriage Data, Says Senator Johnson

Newly surfaced private messages from Dr. Anthony Fauci have reignited debate over the public health response to COVID-19, as Senator Ron Johnson accuses the former top infectious disease expert of deliberately withholding information about potential miscarriage risks associated with mRNA injections. The revelations were the focus of Episode 1894 of the No Agenda show, titled "Fever Concerns," which aired on August 13, 2026.

According to the episode, Fauci acknowledged in private communications that cytokine storms and fever resulting from mRNA COVID injections could theoretically trigger first-trimester miscarriages. Senator Johnson, who has been reanalyzing a 2021 New England Journal of Medicine paper by Tom Shimabukuro, recalculated the first-trimester miscarriage rate at approximately 82%. The senator argues that this information was kept from the public to avoid fueling vaccine hesitancy.

The hosts, filling in for regular co-hosts Adam Curry and the late John C. Dvorak, deconstructed mainstream coverage from CBS Evening News, CNBC, MSNBC's Morning Joe, and CNN. They highlighted an interview with Dr. Serena Chen of CCRM Fertility of New Jersey, who defended the public health messaging despite Fauci's private doubts. Curry summarized the situation bluntly: "So Anthony Fauci knew about potential cytokine storms impacting the first trimester in miscarriages, told no one about it because it would create vaccine hesitancy."

The episode also covered President Trump's executive order reducing the childhood vaccine schedule from 18 to 11 vaccines, splitting the MMR vaccine into three separate shots. This move has sparked debate among public health experts and parents alike.

In political news, the hosts discussed the Democratic primary loss of Francesca Hong in Wisconsin, framing it as part of a broader 'civil war' within the party. They also examined Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent's 'Operation Economic Fury' against Iran, noting that economic measures were implemented a year before kinetic strikes, driving Iranian food inflation to 150-180%. Concurrently, UAE Crown Prince Sheikh Khalid bin Mohammed bin Zayed is accelerating the Habshan-Fujairah pipeline to double capacity by 2027, bypassing the Strait of Hormuz.

Financial markets were also in focus, with Larry Fink's BlackRock raising $500 billion for NVIDIA-led AI data center financing, a move compared to the buildup of mortgage-backed securities before the 2008 financial crisis. Additionally, Mark Zuckerberg's 'Muse Glimmer' manifesto aims to reposition Meta in the open-source AI race.

The show concluded with a tribute to the late John C. Dvorak, including meetup reports from Fort Lauderdale and Springfield, Missouri. The episode is available now wherever podcasts are heard.
