Why is the data still pending on 238 pregnancies? This always seemed very intentional: stop tracking pregnant women before an outcome (either live birth or fetal death). But these women don't stay pregnant forever if they were in a late 2020 trial ALL would have had or lost their babies by now. It's the simplest most obvious thing to track. And the guy writing the factcheck looks about 20 years old and is unlikely to ever be pregnant or breastfeed, no matter what the science says...

Many will have completely lost trust in the medical establishment over this COVID vaccine programme and who can blame them? The most egregious offence was going outside the high risk groups, i.e. the over 65s. Even if the vaccines had turned out to have a high rate of serious adverse events, as is the case, they could have apologised and claimed it was a worth a try in the vulnerable elderly and not too much damage would have been done in terms of life years lost or loss of trust. Once they went into younger groups and pregnant women, knowing the likely adverse event profile, you can only conclude either a nefarious intent (which could be profits over patients or something worse) or utter incompetence. Either way, they shouldn't ever be trusted again. We need root and branch reform.
