This is a bad attempt at pushing a narrative. The gateway pundit article (linked in other comments) does NOT say the vaccine is dangerous, nor does the NEJM. NEJM passage below CLEARLY states that results of the studies are inline with what is expected in the general population but more studies are needed to CONFIRM safety. Note: Even Stephen Kirsh said that at worst this should be viewed as the CDC needing to do more research, not that the vaccine is dangerous to pregnant women.
“Among 827 registry participants who reported a completed pregnancy, 104 experienced spontaneous abortions and 1 had a stillbirth. A total of 712 pregnancies (86.1%) resulted in a live birth, mostly among participants who received their first vaccination dose in the third trimester. Among live-born infants, the incidences of preterm birth (9.4%), small size for gestational age (3.2%), and congenital anomalies (2.2%) **were consistent with those expected on the basis of published literature. **There were no neonatal deaths. These are reassuring data based on reports from pregnant women mostly vaccinated in the third trimester.”
As a note, the Gateway article claims that because of the vaccines, 1 in 8 pregnancies end in premature abortion. That is the exact number that is given on the NHS website for all pregnancies (from before covid was impacting the world), and is also corroborated by the Mayo Clinic (link below).
This is a misleading article, NEJM passage below CLEARLY states that results of the studies are inline with what is expected in the general population.
