I hate that I'm posting in this thread again but I need to remind the board that Scrubby is a liar and you can't trust anything he posts. He has sh*t sources that he never vets. For those reading, ignore everything that Scrubby or TigerGrowls posts because they're not interested in the truth so you'll be better off ignoring it.
No, Dr. Anthony Fauci did not develop a blood clot from the mRNA COVID-19 vaccine. [

The confusion surrounding this topic stems from a few distinct events:
1. The Johnson & Johnson Vaccine Pause
The public discussion connecting Dr. Fauci to vaccine blood clots largely originates from April 2021. At that time, Dr. Fauci frequently appeared in the media to explain why the U.S. government temporarily paused the distribution of the
Johnson & Johnson (J&J) vaccine. [

- The pause was enacted to investigate a rare, specific clotting issue called Vaccine-Induced Immune Thrombotic Thrombocytopenia (VITT).
- Because Fauci was the primary official communicating this health warning, his name became highly associated with "blood clot" news searches and headlines. [1, 2, 3]
2. mRNA Vaccine Safety Profile
As noted during the initial rollouts, federal health monitoring agencies like the FDA and CDC found no red flag signals or links between the authorized mRNA vaccines (Moderna and Pfizer) and those specific rare blood clotting disorders. Dr. Fauci exclusively received the
Moderna mRNA vaccine, which has a different formulation than the J&J viral vector vaccine. [

3. COVID-19 Itself Causes Clots
During his press briefings, Dr. Fauci repeatedly emphasized that the risk of developing severe blood clots is significantly higher from contracting a
COVID-19 infection itself than from getting any of the vaccines. [
