# Statement timeline

What this person is recorded saying, in date order, quoted verbatim with page citations.

* **2021-03-02** ([vaccines](/topics/vaccines.md), asserts): "I have no comments or concerns about this study, this is typically what you would see in mice with other types of vaccines as well, and it makes sense that mRNA is present in other sites as well, including placenta, etc." [^fauci_awards]
* **2021-03-02** ([vaccines](/topics/vaccines.md), asserts): "As a side note, I was part of the deliberation with CDC (ACIP/ACOG) that led to the permissive recommendation in pregnancy, and the assumptions from the authors below are very incorrect: Assumption that all of mRNA-LNP degraded at injection site Balancing…" [^fauci_awards]
* **2021-03-02** ([vaccines](/topics/vaccines.md), asserts): "The only discussion was around the possibility of that mRNA to integrate into the nuclear DNA." [^fauci_awards]
* **2021-03-02** ([vaccines](/topics/vaccines.md), asserts): "And the second main concern was the fever caused by the vaccine, especially during the first trimester, but they went around that by recommending the administration of acetaminophen after vaccination." [^fauci_awards]
* **2021-03-02** ([vaccines](/topics/vaccines.md), asserts): "All vaccines administered to pregnant women historically have been found safe for mother and baby, so when we recently discussed pregnancy and the J&J vaccine, there was no concern, they recommended its use also unanimously." [^fauci_awards]
* **2021-03-02** ([intelligence_community](/topics/intelligence-community.md), asserts): "Let me know if you would like us (Emily, myself) to get a second opinion from the obgyns in the special populations working group (mainly Rich Beigi and Flor Muñoz) Thanks!" [^fauci_awards]
