Authors call for “immediate global moratorium on COVID-19 vaccination during pregnancy.”
In a recently published preprint study on Preprints.org, a team of independent researchers has raised significant concerns about the safety of COVID-19 shots for pregnant women.
The study, titled “Are COVID-19 Vaccines in Pregnancy as Safe and Effective as the U.S. Government, Medical Organizations, and Pharmaceutical Industry Claim? Part I,” assesses the rates of adverse events (AEs) in pregnancy following COVID injection compared to influenza vaccines and other vaccines.
The authors, including James Thorp, Albert Benavides, Maggie Thorp, Daniel McDyer, Kimberly Biss, Julie Threet, and Peter McCullough, conducted a retrospective, population-based cohort study using data from the CDC/FDA Vaccine Adverse Event Reporting System (VAERS).
The study period covered 412 months for all vaccines except COVID shots, which were only used for 40 months (December 1, 2020, to April 26, 2024).
The authors “report a retrospective, population-based cohort study assessing rates of adverse events (AEs) in pregnancy after COVID-19 vaccines compared to the same AEs after influenza vaccines and after all other vaccines,” the study reads.
The researchers found that the CDC/FDA safety signals were breached for all 37 AEs following COVID injection in pregnancy.
These AEs included miscarriage, fetal chromosomal abnormality, fetal malformation, cervical insufficiency, premature rupture of membranes, premature labor, premature delivery, placental calcification, placental infarction, placental thrombosis, placenta accreta, placental abruption, placental insufficiency, placental disorder, fetal maternal hemorrhage, fetal growth restriction, reduced amniotic fluid volume, preeclampsia, fetal heart rate abnormality, fetal cardiac disorder, fetal vascular malperfusion, fetal arrhythmia, fetal distress, fetal biophysical profile abnormal, hemorrhage in pregnancy, fetal cardiac arrest, fetal death (stillbirth), premature infant death, neonatal asphyxia, neonatal dyspnea, neonatal infection, neonatal hemorrhage, insufficient breast milk, neonatal pneumonia, neonatal respiratory distress, neonatal respiratory distress syndrome, and neonatal seizure.
The CDC/FDA’s safety signals “were breached for all 37 AEs following COVID-19 vaccination in pregnancy,” the authors confirm.
