ATLANTA, Ga. – The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) is now advising all pregnant people to get vaccinated against COVID-19, citing new data on the matter.
“CDC encourages all pregnant people or people who are thinking about becoming pregnant and those breastfeeding to get vaccinated to protect themselves from COVID-19,” said CDC Director Dr. Rochelle Walensky. “The vaccines are safe and effective, and it has never been more urgent to increase vaccinations as we face the highly transmissible Delta variant and see severe outcomes from COVID-19 among unvaccinated pregnant people.”
When the CDC uses left-wing activist language like "pregnant people" in official guidance, the public loses faith and trust in their objectivity. https://t.co/tEoq5k3014

The CDC said Wednesday that a new analysis assessing vaccination early in pregnancy did not find an increased risk of miscarriage among nearly 2,500 pregnant women who received an mRNA COVID-19 vaccine before 20 weeks of pregnancy.
“Miscarriage typically occurs in about 11-16% of pregnancies, and this study found miscarriage rates after receiving a COVID-19 vaccine were around 13%, similar to the expected rate of miscarriage in the general population,” wrote the CDC.
The CDC also said that previous data from three safety monitoring systems did not find any safety concerns for pregnant people who were vaccinated late in pregnancy or for their babies.
Every single “pregnant person” is a woman. Always, forever, and unconditionally. I’m not playing along.

“Combined, these data and the known severe risks of COVID-19 during pregnancy demonstrate that the benefits of receiving a COVID-19 vaccine for pregnant people outweigh any known or potential risks,” the CDC said.
Previously, the agency had encouraged pregnant people to consider vaccination because the shots can help protect them from severe illness.
The CDC says pregnant and recently pregnant people are more likely to get severely ill with COVID-19 compared to non-pregnant people.
"Pregnant people." They can't say "women" because science-deniers will yell at them, yet they want us to trust them. https://t.co/Q12c5TPgfl

The new guidance from the CDC aligns with recommendations from top obstetrician groups, like the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists (ACOG) and the Society for Maternal-Fetal Medicine (SMFM), which have recommended all people receive a COVID-19 vaccine, including pregnant and lactating individuals.
The updated guidance for pregnant people comes as the delta variant contributes to a rise in COVID-19 cases, hospitalizations and deaths, especially in the unvaccinated population.
If you’re fuzzy on whether a man or woman can get pregnant, probably not going to be taking your other science advice. https://t.co/u4AyGf7rd4

The U.S. is also seeing troubling numbers of unvaccinated mothers-to-be becoming seriously ill with the virus, The Associated Press reports.
“The increased circulation of the highly contagious delta variant, the low vaccine uptake among pregnant people, and the increased risk of severe illness and pregnancy complications related to COVID-19 infection among pregnant people make vaccination for this population more urgent than ever,” wrote the CDC.

If you haven’t figured out yet that it’s not safe to take the advice of the CDC, (or any other Government agency for that matter) then you are either willfully ignorant, or just plain not paying attention to how corrupted our entire Government & medical system has become!!
AND f you are THAT demented, maybe you SHOULDN’T be procreating!
The CDC is a worthless organization, as it this woman (is it OK to say that?). This is about control and BIG, BIGGER, BIGGEST gubment.
Yep, these are the people we should believe, you know pregnant people. You know, believe the science; I think it’s pregnant woman in the real world! Oh, I know that’s not PC!
SINCE this is the party that fully supports infanticide, i wouldn’t be shocked one bit to find out they KNOW THESE VACCINES cause miscarriages, but are lying to us..
If you can get past the funny part, “pregnant people” Its also interesting that they use no increase in miscarrage statistics as the only criteria for reccomending “pregnant people” (LMAO) get the shot and not a slew of other problems that can and will likely be past from mother or as the left would say “birthing person” (LOL) to baby… Just can’t stop laughing at the woke idiots on the left!
Just ask the silly cow if trans women are no longer men, but truly women. If she’s a true-blue progressive/liberal/loon, she’ll have to answer yes—trans women are truly women.
Then tell the poor, brainwashed airhead that she can stop using the phrase, “birthing people” because by her own reasoning, she’s proven that only women can become pregnant.
Great point! She probably will circle back on the answer, based on the advise of her advisor, Psaki!
I completely forgot that phrase of hers..
So, when it is discovered that children born to MOTHERS who were dumb enough to get the experimental biologic agent when they were pregnant, are likely to have any number of physical or mental diseases later in life, who will be held responsible?
NOT a single bloody person will.. Unfortunately.
I don’t know. So many people reluctant to get vaccinated are still remembering the rhetoric of Klahmidia Harris during the campaign who vowed she’d never trust a vaccine developed under Trump. And seems Joe was also recorded as parroting similar opinions.
So did pelosi, and MANY OTHER DEMS.. YET they are now the ones demanding EVERYONE GET IT, or get left ou of society..
I sure am glad I’ve already had my babies. I’d sure be PRAYING for any Precious young “Person” expecting a child. I thank God I had the opportunity to have my two Moderna Sars2/ covid19 shots. I still remember my daughters concern and FEAR re: her maintenance medication, during her pregnancy of my Grand daughter. For me personally I could NOT depend on our government.
It’s really getting harder and harder for me to feel sorry for the stupid on this planet. If you are stupid enough to get vaxxed while pregnant or breastfeeding (let alone any other time) you deserve what you get. The sad part is all these babies that don’t get a say in this. God be with them.
So true. IT sickens me, that SO MANY STUPID folk, CONTINUE TO EMBRACE their stupidity by voting for the SAME STUPID stuff, year in, year out.. YET THEY ARE NOT THE ONES feeling the pain from it, WE ALL ARE.
