It appears the facts about miscarriage and covid vaccines have been misrepresented. Every thing I have read about this points to a single report claiming 82% of vaccinated pregnant women miscarried. The truth, however, is that that statistic only included women who were vaccinated during the 1st or 2nd trimester and also miscarried within the three months of the study. Hundreds more mothers who were also vaccinated within those three months did not complete pregnancy (either by birth or miscarriage) and so could not included in that statistic.

The actual numbers:

  • There were 4000 pregnant women in the study who were vaccinated while pregnant.
  • Of those 4000, 827 pregnancies completed during the study.
  • Of those 827 completions, 104 were miscarriages, around 12%, which is not unusual.

We can't draw any more than this from the data because almost 80% of participants did not complete pregnancy during the study, one way or another. The miscarriage rate for those that did complete pregnancy was not unusual considering the short timeframe (take a 3-month window out of a 9-month pregnancy, only include completions, and of course it will skew miscarriage rates because only 3rd tri completions even have a chance of being normal).

I hope your daughter is induced to avoid eclampsia and the baby and mother come out of this safely!
