I'm going to tell you something the government won't (and I can't believe I'm the one saying this): coronavirus damages the placenta. Women who are infected experience double the baseline rate of stillbirths.
A CDC report found that among pregnant U.S. women with COVID-19, 1 in 80 deliveries resulted in stillbirth, compared to 1 in 155 for uninfected women--- but under new leadership, the CDC isn't telling you that. apnews.com/article/coronavirus-pandemic-science-health-2ac91326c0cd16f67eba01885516ef2d
I'm not a political pundit or a wellness influencer with something to sell. I went into debt to study public health, even though nearly any other field would have been more lucrative, because this work matters.
I didn't start talking about it because it was trending on social media. I started talking about it because it is my profession. I'm sharing this because reality doesn't care about what's trending on Twitter or what your mom's Facebook group says.
The coronavirus can damage your placenta, and denial won't protect your baby. It doesn't care how you vote or whether you go to church. You can prevent an infection that can destroy almost all of the placenta in the worst cases.
QUOTE: Researchers in 12 countries, including the United States, analyzed placental and autopsy tissue from 64 stillbirths and four newborns who died shortly after birth. The cases all involved unvaccinated women who had COVID-19 during their pregnancy.
The study bolsters evidence from small case reports, and it confirms that placenta damage, rather than an infection of the fetus, is the likely cause of many COVID-19-related stillbirths. END QUOTE.
Don't be the next parent who has to hear RFK Jr. deny that infectious disease caused your child's death. Whatever he says, it won't bring your child back, and it won't make the facts untrue. typefully.com/Info_Rosalie/6qRWeRb
