Dr. Anthony Fauci’s texts have been released – and they show he knew that pregnant women and their unborn children were at risk from the COVID-19 vaccines. A federal appeals court upheld an injunction that enjoins the construction of the White House ballroom. And we look to the indictment of a former officer of the Southern Policy Law Center, legal efforts to save a baby in Texas, the DOJ’s conclusion that Duke Law School unlawfully discriminated based on race, and an Appeals Court holding that the Trump Administration can expedite the removal of illegal aliens who have been paroled.
The Fauci Texts
On Monday, Senators Ron Johnson and Rand Paul released initial texts from Dr. Anthony Fauci’s iPhone that demonstrate Dr. Fauci’s knowledge of potential dangers pregnant women might face after receiving the COVID-19 vaccines:
Those texts were part of a discussion between Dr. Fauci, CDC Director Rochelle Walensky, and Surgeon General Vivek Murthy. Additional texts from their conversation can be found here.
Dr. Fauci’s private concerns stand in stark contrast to his public assurances that the vaccines were safe. In February 2021, less than one month after those texts, Dr. Fauci would maintain that the COVID-19 vaccines presented no “red flags” to pregnant women.
Exposing the dangers of the COVID-19 vaccines, especially with respect to pregnant women and the unborn, has long been a mission of Defending the Republic (DTR). Not long after the vaccines were “approved,” we sued the FDA for its failure to produce Moderna’s vaccine data in accordance with the Freedom of Information Act.
DTR’s lawsuit was successful and led to the production of tens of thousands of pages of documents that had never been seen by the American public. These documents showed Moderna failed to investigate post-vaccine deaths and adverse medical events, the lack of oversight from the federal government, and how the Moderna vaccine was associated with fetal abnormalities in pregnant rats.
This release of a small batch of Dr. Fauci’s texts might just be the tip of the iceberg, as his phone “contains more than 34,000 text messages and 522 voicemails.” The Senators are not just working on reviewing and releasing these texts but are also making sure that no data was deleted.
Court of Appeals blocks White House ballroom
The U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia has affirmed a preliminary injunction of a district court that enjoins the construction the White House ballroom. In its 2-1 decision, the Court of Appeals concluded that there will be irreparable harm absent the injunction and that the Trump Administration has not shown that Congress delegated the authority to add a ballroom “to either the President or the National Park Service.”
In her dissent, Judge Neomi Rao (a Trump appointee) argued that the district court’s injunction was a “blatant abuse of discretion” because those that sued the Trump Administration had no standing. She also noted that the district court “elevated the aesthetic displeasure of a single passerby over the government’s security interests in the ballroom and the security risks of leaving an open construction site at the President’s home and office.” This is a case of national security and Presidential powers - one the Trump Administration will most likely take this case to the Supreme Court.
