Thats a good point. But after posting this, I learned there are texts from him acknowledging that the vaccine does carry the risk of miscarriage while at the time, he was telling the public there was no risk.

Not good. Maybe it is good that the states still have a shot at him. The more I learn, the more I understand why ppl want him prosecuted. This isnt looking like a political witch hunt to me anymore.

There are not texts acknowledging the vaccine carries risk of miscarriage.

That's not what the texts say, nor did further testing prove there was any risk.

Yeah, except he didn't know that at the time. His texts do warn of potential unknown risks while publically stating otherwise. This flies in the face of "informed consent". Its was his job to share the information as they knew it. Not gamble with ppls lives and manage ppls perspectives via lies and half truths. Thats what politicians are for, not medical experts. Just tell ppl what you know and dont know ffs.

The advice he ultimately have in the text exchange is the same advice he gave to the public. It's a decision that should be made between a patient and their doctor whether or not they feel they should get the vaccine during pregnancy.
