Naomi Wolf has made a name for herself arguing that there was an 80% miscarriage rate in the Pfizer COVID vaccine study.
She has also made a name for herself on how she is very wrong in believing that there was an 80% miscarriage rate in the Pfizer COVID vaccine study.
Naomi Wolf Digs in on Her 80% Miscarriage Rate Claim
And now, after years of doubling down on her claim, Naomi Wolf continues to dig in, pushing the idea that she is right and that COVID vaccines do have an 80% miscarriage rate.
Of course, she is still wrong, as many people have explained.
Why?
She took the number of miscarriages (23) in the study and divided that by the number of pregnancies with a known, recorded outcome (28) and got her 80% rate.
What did she leave out?
She left out that there were 270 pregnant women in the trial!
And she left out that her math doesn’t work!
You can’t simply remove those other 238 pregnant women (some had other reported outcomes…) who were in the trial from your calculations.
And that’s easy to see when you look at all of the other clinical trials that have been done, which confirm that COVID vaccines are not associated with miscarriages.
There is no 80% miscarriage rate.
If you are still not convinced, know that millions of pregnant women received a Pfizer COVID vaccine, and if her 80% miscarriage rate were true, that would have greatly affected the birth rate since the COVID pandemic began.
And, of course, it didn’t.
COVID vaccines were found to be safe for pregnant women, and as an added bonus, they protected newborn babies and younger infants from severe COVID infections until they were old enough to get their own vaccines!

COVID-19 Vaccination Doesn’t Increase Miscarriage Risk, Contrary to Naomi Wolf’s Spurious Stat
Here's an analogy....
Say you have 100 people start a 3 year University degree course.
After the first year, 10 have dropped out.
You then decide to calculate how many drop outs there were among those who have "completed" their university course. There are 10 of these (the drop outs), because 90 still remain at Uni and have not graduated yet.
So you calculate the drop out rate after a year is 10/10, or 100%.
This is how they arrive at a [wrong] miscarriage rate of 82%.
When the final analysis was done, the miscarriage rate was between 12% and 14%.
Background miscarriage rates run at 15-20%, I understand.
COVID VACCINE DOES NOT CAUSE MISCARRIAGE.
