Fauci appeared on NBC News’ “Today” show on Thursday morning, where he talked about the COVID-19 vaccine, among other subjects. During his interview, Fauci suggested that pregnant women are often vulnerable to severe disease from COVID-19, and they should look to get vaccinated. “When pregnant women who are not vaccinated get COVID-19, they get into serious difficulty,” Fauci said. “There’s no question that recommendation had to switch from ‘could’ to ‘should’.”

However, medical ethics lawyer Dr Amel Alghrani joined calls this year for the NHS to consider them. Last night critics said transgender women may want to...

Ellmers: But men are required to purchase maternity coverage.
