Judicial Watch President Tom Fitton discussed newly obtained documents from the Obama-era FDA that purportedly show the Food and Drug Administration purchased fetal body parts from a fetal-tissue provider. The key items cited include purchases of “intact calvarium baby skulls, eighteen to twenty four weeks” for $515 per skull. Fitton told One America’s John Hines that taxpayers’ money was used “to purchase, basically, the dead bodies of unborn human beings,” noting that the bodies were divided up, with heads, livers, and other parts sold.
During the interview, it was highlighted that government records indicate the federal government demanded that purchased fetal organs be “fresh, never frozen,” with documents stating they were to be shipped on dry ice. Fitton described this as horrifying and insisted that these were organs, not just cells, and included skulls up to twenty-four weeks gestation. He asserted there was no doubt these were human beings and claimed organs were being sold, chopped up, and sold.
Fitton referenced additional documents from a separate lawsuit filed on behalf of the Center for Medical Progress, pointing to a large operation at the University of Pittsburgh funded with tax dollars and involving Fauci’s agency. He suggested Fauci’s agency should be asked about involvement in both the NIH and NIAID, as well as about alleged support for gain-of-function research and dismemberment of fetal organs, describing it as a “fetal organ chop shop.”
The interview noted that a Freedom of Information Act request had been filed with the FDA to uncover whether the agency was buying or selling body parts, and that officials did not initially respond. A judge granted discovery, allowing redactions to be removed, and the released information allegedly showed the FDA was purchasing fetal tissue, including human heads, for $515 per skull. Fitton recalled that the government had sought to withhold price details, but the court ruled against this secrecy.
Fitton also mentioned a separate case involving NIH and NIAID, highlighting an alleged “one stop shop operation” at the University of Pittsburgh, and raising questions about whether aborted fetuses were still alive when organs were taken. He claimed the Obama administration was involved, the Trump administration halted the activity, and the Biden administration was reportedly preparing to resume funding of similar activities.
When asked what a new learner should think, Fitton described the documents as among the worst he has seen in his twenty-three years of work and called for a thorough investigation into how this was done, why it occurred, whether it violated the law, and how to stop it. He concluded by thanking John Hines for the interview.
