What: Politico has the scoop on HHS sending around a document on Capitol Hill that aims to defend Sec. Kennedy’s recent decision to stop recommending COVID-19 vaccines for pregnant women. The report’s proof? Studies that actually found the shots *are* safe.
Key Line: “The 2023 study shows a slightly higher rate of miscarriages among women who were immunized against Covid-19 during their pregnancies. But, Velez said, that after adjusting for “variables that can confound a crude association,” like “age, rurality, neighbourhood income quintile, immigration status, comorbidity” and other factors that could affect the outcome, Canadian researchers found “no association between SARS-CoV-2 vaccination and an increased risk of miscarriage.”
