AI Summary
5 min readVerdict with Ted Cruz — January 22, 2025
This episode opens with a single number: 82%. That is the miscarriage rate Senator Ted Cruz and co-host Ben Ferguson claim was hidden from pregnant women who received the COVID-19 vaccine. The conversation then moves through two other Democratic figures — Michigan Senate candidate Abdul El-Sayed and Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez — but the vaccine segment dominates the episode and carries the emotional weight.
The Fauci emails and the miscarriage data
The central development is the release of emails from Dr. Anthony Fauci by Senators Ron Johnson and Rand Paul. According to Cruz, those emails show Fauci knew that data from vaccine manufacturers and post-market surveillance suggested a dramatically elevated risk of miscarriage for women vaccinated during the first trimester of pregnancy.
The specific claim: "The authors claimed a miscarriage rate of 12.6%, but the raw data revealed an 82% miscarriage rate in women vaccinated during the first trimester." Cruz reads a passage from the material noting that these figures "mirror the effects of chemical abortion drugs such as RU-486." Ferguson adds that the same 81% miscarriage rate appears in Pfizer's 5.3.6 post-market data.
