CDC urges pregnant women to get vaccine despite rising fatalities

Despite rising fatalities of COVID vaccine, the Centre for Disease and Control and Prevention has urged pregnant women to still go ahead and get vaccinated despite the danger involved.

Data released Friday by the CDC showed that between Dec. 14, 2020 and Sept. 24, 2021, a total of 752,803 adverse events following COVID vaccines were reported to the Vaccine Adverse Event Reporting System (VAERS).

The data included a total of 15,937 reports of deaths — an increase of 551 over the previous week.

Of the 7,215 U.S. deaths reported as of Sept. 24, 11% occurred within 24 hours of vaccination, 16% occurred within 48 hours of vaccination and 29% occurred in people who experienced an onset of symptoms within 48 hours of being vaccinated.

The CDC on Wednesday issued its strongest guidance to date urging pregnant women and those who recently gave birth to be vaccinated against COVID. A total of 161 pregnant women have died of COVID, the CDC said, including 22 deaths in August.

“CDC strongly recommends COVID-19 vaccination either before or during pregnancy because the benefits of vaccination outweigh known or potential risks,” the agency said in a health alert. To date, only 31% of pregnant people have been vaccinated, the CDC said.

The CDC said COVID during pregnancy can cause preterm birth or sick babies that require intensive care. “Other adverse pregnancy outcomes, such as stillbirth, have been reported,” the CDC said.

However, as of Sept 24, CDC VAERS data show 3,823 pregnant women have reported adverse events related to COVID vaccines, including 1,144 reports of miscarriage or premature birth — a far greater number than the statistics the CDC used to justify its “urgent” recommendation that pregnant woman get vaccinated.

Recall that 40-year-old pregnant Kristi Dobbs said she’s spent nine months pleading with U.S. health agencies to research the neurological injuries she developed after receiving Pfizer’s COVID vaccine, only to be ignored after she provided the National Institutes of Health (NIH) blood samples for research.

Dobbs symptoms include full-body paresthesia, internal tremors/vibrations, fatigue, brain fog, muscle pain and weakness, pelvic pain, irregular menstrual cycles, skin rashes, tinnitus, temperature regulation issues, swollen lymph nodes, loss of appetite, weight loss, dizziness/balance issues, blood pressure regulation issues, neck pain, headaches, heart palpitations, convulsions at night and insomnia.

Dobbs said she and others who developed neurological injuries after a COVID vaccine shared their experiences with a reporter in hope of raising awareness. But the story never ran because, according to the reporter, a “higher up” at Pfizer pressured the news agency to drop it.
