The Pfizer-BioNTech and Moderna coronavirus vaccines are safe and effective in pregnant and breastfeeding women, according to a new study published Thursday in the American Journal of Obstetrics & Gynecology.
The study also found that mothers can pass antibodies to their newborns.
“That’s a very important piece of information to our patients,” Andrea Edlow, MD, the senior study author and a maternal-fetal medicine specialist at Massachusetts General Hospital, told ABC News.
“We know that this vaccine works for you,” she added.
The research team studied a group of 131 women who received the Pfizer or Moderna vaccine, including 84 pregnant, 31 breastfeeding and 16 non-pregnant women. All three groups had similar high antibody levels. The study also found no significant differences in vaccine side effects between pregnant and non-pregnant women.
Compared to pregnant women who had recovered from COVID-19, pregnant women who received the vaccine had “strikingly higher” antibody levels, the authors wrote. In addition, women who received the Moderna vaccine had higher antibody levels than those who received the Pfizer vaccine.
The research team also found that vaccine-generated antibodies were present in all of the umbilical cord and breast milk samples that were tested, which suggests that pregnant women and breastfeeding women can pass COVID-19 antibodies to their fetuses and newborns.
“That is the most comforting piece of information that’s out there,” Galit Alter, MD, one of the study authors and a professor of medicine at the Ragon Institute in Massachusetts, told ABC News.
The research team found neutralizing antibodies in the blood of pregnant women, which indicates that the antibodies can kill the coronavirus.

Three of my sisters were rendered infertile because my mother took the “safe and approved” drug called DES in the 1950s.
My sisters did not find this out until they married, 2 decades later.
Then there was Thalidomide, used with disastrous results in the UK.

Also, the mRNA Covid “vaccine” is not definitionally a “vaccine,” it’s a “gene therapy” being marketed as a vaccine.
See 41.
Can you share the location of the article that says the Covid vaccine has caused a 400% in miscarriages?
“Too many people are gleefully jumping all over this vaccine, it’s very sad to watch people forget about freedom and choose fear and let it control them....”
*********************************************************************
Yes, let’s not forget about freedom. We have the FREEDOM to choose TRUMP’S vaccine or choose to not take it.
in the UK there are claims that miscarriages have increased 350-400% among women who have taken the covid shot.
Well you know, the truth is only what Web MD says. The facts are irrelevant. Go out, offer up your arm and your baby. Ugh
131 women!!!!
Hmmm.
84 pregnant, 31 breastfeeding and 16 non-pregnant women.
Follow-up data on only 13 women who delivered.
No Pregnancy control group.
Apparently, safety for mother and child was not an issue of concern for the study designers.
I knew it had to be Pharma funded.
From your post.....
In more whistle-blowing quarters, WebMD is synonymous with Big Pharma Shilling.
A February 2010 investigation into WebMD’s relationship with drug maker Eli Lilly by Senator Chuck Grassley of Iowa confirmed the suspicions of longtime WebMD users.
With the site’s (admitted) connections to pharmaceutical and other companies, WebMD has become permeated with pseudomedicine and subtle misinformation.”"
Except it isn’t: https://www.acog.org/clinical/clinical-guidance/practice-advisory/articles/2020/12/vaccinating-pregnant-and-lactating-patients-against-covid-19
1,800 women tracked in the v-safe program. Rate of miscarriage (<20 weeks) in the v-safe (vaccinated) group is 15%. Background (control) rate is 26%.
Neonatal death is 0.38% for the background rate, 0% for the v-safe group.
It’s not Trump’s. He had terrible advisors and people around him.
I wish you the best, we’re all going to need it.
So now it’s all safe?
Low level antibodies count - not a problem.
Quality of info within claim made in article, is a problem.
“So now it’s all safe?”
*************************
Well, getting COVID-19 is certainly not safe for pregnant women. And the study authors are suggesting that maybe pregnant women should be allowed to voluntarily participate in the actual double-blind trials since after the trials they are allowed to be vaccinated.
“Pregnancy is considered to be a risk factor for severe COVID-19, including increased risk for hospitalization and death from the virus, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. As of March 22, more than 80,500 pregnant women in the United States had been infected with the virus and 88 had died, the CDC found.”
“...Both researchers hope that examples like their study encourage pharmaceutical companies to offer pregnant women the opportunity to participate in future vaccine studies, even beyond COVID-19.
“Otherwise this population sits at home cowering because they have no idea what to do,” Alter said.”

According to the government they’ll still be forced to wear masks, isolated, forced boundaries and closed stores anyway. You really want to test pregnant women in a double blind? Really want to see how the babies turn out? Really want to take that chance?
You first
1) Okay so in the sampling of pregnant women above , Moderna recipients had more antibodies than Pfizer.
2) Article out today saying that Pfizer is proven to remain after 6 months.
3) And: Moderna is on the hunt for the right dosage based on age group. (Currently Pfizer is 30mg and Moderna is 100mg.)
“You really want to test pregnant women in a double blind? Really want to see how the babies turn out?”
*********************************************************************
Pregnant women actually were enrolled in the double-blind trials and received vaccine doses. The pregnant women either didn’t know they were pregnant when the volunteered or they simply “fibbed” to the screening questions about pregnancy. They did fine in the trials.
“not conclusive”
Probably more than 1 or 2 years need(s) to pass, observing the babies.
