Posting for a friend: In Unvaccinated Pregnant Women, Covid can cause deadly harm to babies.

Dr. David Schwartz, a perinatal pathologist, led a study which shows that "The virus can attack and destroy the placenta, which is the baby's lifeline. This can cause the baby to asphyxiate and be stillborn.

Dr. Schwartz says: "We have never seen this level of destruction from an infectious illness before. It rendered the placenta unfit to carry out its duties."

@OldBrit Thank you. I've just been scanning the article, and it is focused on Covid19.

Here in the United States the virus has mutated, and 90% of all new cases are the mild Omicron variant. The remaining 10% appears to be the Delta variant from India, which is the deadlier of the two.

Oster, another commenter here, says:

This is not what I have read. The Pentagon report is showing miscarriages and still Borns upwards of over 300 percent and beyond. Pfizer has put on hold, their vaccine, for under 5-year old's.

We are swimming in a sea of conflicting reports. And babies are so precious. It would be criminal to discover an error in ANY one of these studies when it was too late.

@4meAndyou Read that report it covers all variants. Delta is (possibly) more dangerous than omicron however only countries that adequately sequence off pcr tests to know with any accuracy the prevalence of different variants are also those countries with high vaccination rates. So is omicron less deadly or are the vaccines just very good at lowering hospitalisation rates?

@OldBrit Oh. Missed that bit in the pregnancy section...because it repeatedly mentioned only the Covid 19.

@OldBrit Re: Omicron, it really IS less deadly.
