Mothers finally have the information necessary to protect their babies, and many of them are making the decision not to vaccinate. From Michael Capuzzo at rescue.substack.com:
The CDC is concerned that vaccine hesitancy among pregnant women is on the rise. But CDC’s own data shows young expectant mothers are dying at an unprecedented rate since the Covid-19 vax roll-out.
Are pregnant women finally waking up to the dangers of vaccines, especially the Covid-19 vaccine? NBC News and other worried media reported the CDC’s discovery of increased vaccine hesitancy among pregnant woman as event as important as the Israel-Hamas war. This story first appeared in The Defender, the newsletter of Children’s Health Defense.
NBC News led its online broadcast on Oct. 17 with what the network said was the biggest news in the world: “President Biden to visit Israel and vaccine hesitancy on the rise for pregnant women.”
As the winter respiratory illness season rapidly approaches, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) for the first time is recommending four vaccines during pregnancy: the flu vaccine, Tdap vaccine (tetanus, diphtheria, and pertussis, or whooping cough), RSV (respiratory syncytial virus) vaccine, and the COVID-19 vaccine.
But more women are saying “no” to their doctors who recommend COVID-19 and the other vaccines — even shutting down conversations with, “I’m not going to talk about it,” according to the NBC News report.
“We are meeting more resistance than I ever remember,” said Dr. Neil Silverman, a maternal-fetal medicine specialist at UCLA Health. “We didn’t get this kind of pushback on this scale before the pandemic.”
“Now all vaccines are lumped together as ‘bad,’” he said.
NBC based its report on a CDC study, “Influenza, Tdap, and COVID-19 Vaccination Coverage and Hesitancy Among Pregnant Women,” published in the agency’s Sept. 29 Morbidity and Mortality Weekly Report.
