Early on in the COVID debacle, there was concern that unborn children might be harmed by the jab.
At one level this is just common sense. Many drugs and vaccines are contraindicated for pregnant moms because of the possible harm to their babies, especially in the first trimester, when the tiny infant’s organs are forming.
Perhaps that’s why the drug companies themselves did not run trials on the effect of vaccines early in pregnancy. Were they afraid of what they might find out?
Once the vaccines were rolled out, anecdotal evidence suggested that miscarriages and stillbirths were on the rise, not just from COVID, but from the vaccines that were supposed to prevent it—but didn’t.
There is no question that Anthony Fauci was worried about this. The man even noted in his diary there was a risk for women in their first trimester getting the jab.
Nevertheless, in his eagerness to push the jab on everyone, he sang a different song in public, not only assuring women, “It’s safe, take it,” but also warning them, “If you don’t take it, you might lose your job.”
In the years since, the toxic spike protein produced by the mRNA vaccine has been found in a significant number of fetal placentas of women who report never have had COVID.
Several papers have been published reporting a higher rate of miscarriage in women who were vaccinated during the first 20 weeks of pregnancy. An Israel study showed3.9 extra fetal losses per 100 pregnancies after the first shot in weeks 8-13, the losses increasing with subsequent boosters. Another investigation found that vaccination during the second trimester led to an increase in premature births.
The evidence is admittedly mixed, but the first rule of medicine is supposed to be “do no harm.”
As Dr. Vinay Prasad, the former head of the FDA’s vaccines arm, has written: “It is possible COVID-19 vaccines increase miscarriage when administered early” and “a good scientist cannot say whether this is true or not.”
To settle this question, you would need a large, randomized vaccine trial specifically looking at miscarriage rates. None has ever been conducted.
That’s why countries are moving away from vaccinating pregnant moms.
The recently updated Australian Immunisation Handbook says the vax is not recommended in pregnancy, although women can consider a dose after they are 20 weeks pregnant.
Most countries now routinely offer the COVID vaccine only to the elderly or to certain risk groups. Ten countries do not recommend it at all.
The United States has been slowly moving in the same direction.
In May 2025, the CDC stopped recommending COVID-19 vaccination for healthy pregnant women. Instead, the decision is left up to the mother in question.
I applauded. With Fauci in well-deserved disgrace, and RFK Jr. at the helm of HHS, I saw it as a sign that the insanity of the COVID era was slowly coming to an end.
Then I became aware of a national TV spot urging all pregnant women to get the COVID shot. It aired in prime time on Fox News’s The Ingraham Angle around September 22, 2026.
The commercial flashes through clips showing happy, active and obviously pregnant women. All the while a chirpy voice informs the viewer, “You do amazing things every day. And we’re not just talking about your pregnancy. You do it all. So why risk letting COVID-19 stop you? COVID-19 vaccines are especially important during pregnancy. Take control of your health, so you can keep showing up for the ones you love. Get the COVID-19 vaccine to protect yourself, AND your pregnancy. It’s safe… proven… effective. You could say it’s pretty amazing. Just like you.”
The end card showed that the ad was sponsored by ACOG, the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists.
So why is ACOG—for the first time in its existence—at odds with the CDC on this question?
The leader of ACOG says it is simply “following the science.” (Where have we heard that before?) But I wonder if there are other factors in play, money and ambition being two of them.
After all, commercial insurance plans pay $45-$50 to an OB/GYN practice for each vaccine administered, which over the course of a year can generate many thousands of dollars in revenue. The more jabs, the more profit.
As far as ambition is concerned, I am fairly certain that RFK Jr. and the current leaders of the CDC—unlike their predecessors—do not expect to go to work for Big Pharma after their current period of government service ends.
Whom do you trust?
