Why is Dawn Michael asking about what happened to the children of pregnant women who received a COVID vaccine?
She’s just asking questions…
What Happened to the Children of Pregnant Women Who Got a COVID Vaccine?
It’s a technique anti-vaccine influencers use in which they ask a loaded question and framing misinformation and propaganda about vaccines as questions.
After all, if she really wanted to know if anyone was monitoring these children, instead of posting, she could have taken a few minutes and found out about the:
Assessing the Safety of Pregnancy During the Coronavirus Pandemic (ASPIRE) study - an ongoing study which found that COVID-19 vaccination was safe during pregnancy from the perspective of infant neurodevelopment to 18 months of age
Scottish national cohort study - found that prenatal exposure to SARS-CoV-2 was not associated with developmental concerns.
COVI-PREG prospective cohort - found no increased risk of an abnormal developmental score at 12 months comparing those exposed to maternal vaccinated vs unvaccinated children.
Maternal-Fetal Medicine Units Network — autism/development assessment - reported no difference in autism or other neurodevelopmental outcomes in children born to mothers who had received a COVID vaccine vs those who hadn’t.
Vaccine Safety Datalink study - found no increased risk for non-targeted medically attended infant respiratory infections and no association with bloodstream or meningeal infections from birth to 6 months of life following COVID-19 vaccination during second or third trimester of pregnancy.
MOMBABY database study - found that mRNA covid-19 vaccination during the first trimester of pregnancy was not associated with an increase in major congenital anomalies in offspring, overall or grouped by organ system.
Generation Victoria (GenV) - will be monitoring vaccinated children through age 16 years
And she would have found that ‘we’ are indeed monitoring these children!
What else?
She would have found that so far, ‘we’ have found no evidence of adverse developmental effects from getting a COVID vaccine during pregnancy.
Plus, there is also plenty of evidence that these COVID vaccines were necessary, reducing severe COVID in pregnant women and protecting newborns and younger infants until they could get their own COVID vaccine.
So all in all, it was a good question!
