Why do some people think that 82% of women who got the COVID vaccine in their first or second trimester had a miscarriage?
The usual suspects…
82% of Women Who Got the COVID Vaccine in Their First or Second Trimester Did Not Have a Miscarriage
Sadly, in this case, the misinformation is coming from a member of Congress.
In an interview on Fox Business, Rep. Lisa McClain (Michigan, R) not only said that 82% of women who got the vaccine in their first or second trimester had a miscarriage, she claimed that the information came from The New England Journal of Medicine.
Of course, it didn’t.
The 82% claim actually came from an anti-vaccine influencer who misinterpreted a study that was in The New England Journal of Medicine.
A claim that was debunked when it first came out four years ago and has been repeatedly debunked every other time it resurfaces.
A claim that Rep. Ron Johnson included in his recent attacks on Anthony Fauci.
A claim that really makes no sense, as all studies have shown that COVID vaccines are not associated with any increased of miscarriage.
It’s disgusting and should be criminal that anti-vaccine influencers can continue to promote this kind of propaganda that scares people away from getting vaccinated and protected.
