Judicial Watch President Tom Fitton spoke with One America’s John Hines about records they received from the Obama-era FDA related to fetal tissue procurement. Fitton said the documents show the FDA was buying “intact calvarium baby skulls, eighteen to twenty four weeks for $515 per skull,” along with other fetal body parts, and that the bodies were divided up for sale. He emphasized that the sale involved organs and skulls, not just cellular material, and noted the materials were described as “fetal organs,” including heads, being sold.
Hines pointed out that the documents also state the purchased fetal organs were to be “fresh, never frozen,” and that the FDA demanded they be shipped on dry ice. Fitton described this as “awful stuff” and stated that the documents indicate these were organs, not merely cells, and that there are “no doubt that any normal person would call these a human being.” He said organs were “being sold chopped up and sold.”
Fitton referenced other related documents from a different lawsuit with the Center for Medical Progress showing a “massive operation” at the University of Pittsburgh, funded with tax dollars, and involvement from Fauci’s agency, implying NIH/NIAID involvement and raising questions about whether the aborted fetuses were still alive when organs were taken. He asserted that the Obama administration was involved, that the Trump administration stopped it, and that the Biden administration was reputedly prepared to open funding again for this work.
Hines noted that Judicial Watch filed a Freedom of Information Act request with the FDA to learn whether the agency was buying or selling body parts, and that the agency did not initially respond. A judge granted discovery, the redactions were removed, and the information obtained confirmed that the FDA was purchasing fetal tissue, including human heads, for $515 per skull. Fitton recalled that the government had sought to withhold some price details, but the court said that could not be done.
Fitton also referenced a separate lawsuit involving NIH and NIAID that suggested a one-stop operation at the University of Pittsburgh, with the Fauci agency involved, and questioned whether organ collection occurred while the fetuses were still alive. He claimed the Obama administration was involved, the Trump administration halted the activity, and the Biden administration was allegedly preparing to fund it again. He described the documents as among the worst he has seen in government conduct and called for a thorough investigation to determine how it was done, why it happened, whether it violated the law, and to ensure it stops.
