Newly surfaced private messages from Dr. Anthony Fauci have sparked fresh controversy, as they reveal that he privately acknowledged potential risks of mRNA COVID injections to first-trimester pregnancies, information that Senator Ron Johnson claims was deliberately withheld from the public to avoid fueling vaccine hesitancy. The disclosure comes as President Trump has signed an executive order reducing the childhood vaccine schedule from 18 to 11 shots, splitting the MMR vaccine into three separate doses.
On the August 13, 2026 episode of the No Agenda Show, fill-in co-hosts Darren O'Neill and Larry Bleidner, joined by Adam Curry, dissected the implications of Fauci's messages, which were first reported by Senator Johnson. According to the senator, Fauci acknowledged that cytokine storms and fever from mRNA COVID injections could theoretically trigger first-trimester miscarriages. Johnson reanalyzed a 2021 New England Journal of Medicine paper by Tom Shimabukuro, recalculating the first-trimester miscarriage rate at roughly 82%, a figure that stands in stark contrast to the public health messaging that downplayed such risks.
Curry, broadcasting from the Texas Hill Country, did not mince words when discussing a CBS 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." This revelation raises serious questions about transparency and informed consent in public health campaigns, potentially impacting trust in government institutions and vaccination programs.
The episode also delved into President Trump's executive order, which slashes the number of recommended childhood vaccines from 18 to 11 and separates the combined MMR (measles, mumps, rubella) shot into three individual injections. This move is likely to have significant implications for pediatric healthcare, vaccine manufacturers, and parents navigating immunization schedules. While proponents argue it offers more choice and reduces potential risks, public health experts may express concerns about vaccine coverage and disease outbreaks.
In a broader geopolitical context, the hosts examined Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent's 'Operation Economic Fury' against Iran, which they claim has been quietly driving Iranian food inflation to 150-180% over the past year. Meanwhile, UAE Crown Prince Sheikh Khalid bin Mohammed bin Zayed is fast-tracking the Habshan-Fujairah pipeline to double capacity by 2027, bypassing the Strait of Hormuz entirely, a strategic move that could reshape global energy markets.
The financial world also came under scrutiny, with the hosts comparing Larry Fink's BlackRock raising $500 billion for NVIDIA-led AI data center financing to the mortgage-backed securities buildup before the 2008 financial crisis. They also touched on Mark Zuckerberg's 'Muse Glimmer' manifesto, an attempt to reposition Meta in the open-source AI race. These developments highlight the growing intersection of technology, finance, and geopolitics, with potential impacts on global markets and data infrastructure.
The episode closed with a tribute to the late John C. Dvorak, a co-founder of the No Agenda Show, with meetup reports from Fort Lauderdale and Springfield, Missouri. For listeners, the show remains a critical voice in media deconstruction, offering an alternative perspective on the forces shaping the daily news cycle.
