Pregnant Women Should Be Offered Covid Vaccine, New Government Advice Says
Pregnant women should be offered a Covid vaccine at any stage of their pregnancy, according to new Government advice. The Joint Committee on Vaccination and Immunisation (JCVI) advises that it is “preferable” for pregnant women to be “offered” the Pfizer or Moderna vaccines “where available” due to there being more “real-world data” from the US on these vaccines. The AstraZeneca vaccine (the primary Covid vaccine in the Government’s rollout) will, however, still be administered where an alternative is not available, despite the JCVI saying that “more research is needed” on this vaccine because pregnant women were not included in trials. It will “continue to closely monitor” the impact of the AZ vaccine on pregnant women as it is administered. BBC News has the story.
Pregnant women should be offered a Covid jab when other people their age get one, the UK’s vaccine advisers say.
They say the Pfizer and Moderna vaccines are preferable because data from the US in 90,000 pregnant women has not raised any safety concerns.
Up until now, only women with underlying health conditions or those whose risk of exposure to the virus was high were eligible…
The JCVI now advises that pregnant women should all be offered the Pfizer-BioNTech or Moderna vaccines where available, at the same time as the rest of the population.
They are encouraged to discuss the risks and benefits of the vaccines with their doctor before making the appointment, but it is not a requirement.
“There is no evidence to suggest that other vaccines are unsafe for pregnant women, but more research is needed,” it added.
Currently, there is a lack of data on the AstraZeneca vaccine in pregnancy because pregnant women were not included in trials, but the JCVI says more evidence may be forthcoming in the near future…
Women who are planning pregnancy or are breastfeeding can be vaccinated with any vaccine, depending on their age and clinical risk group, the JCVI said.
It said it would closely monitor the evidence on Covid vaccination in pregnancy and update its advice as required.

Last I checked the official advice for the Pfizer ‘vaccine’ stated not to give it to pregnant women or those intending to become pregnant as the necessary tests had not been carried out. So someone is lying… again.
Any advice tainted with the word “official” cannot be trusted. Unofficially it is abundantly clear that the best advice would be to stay well clear of all of the genocidal Covid vaccines, whether or not you are pregnant.
Like the government says there’s no evidence that it’s not ok for pregnant women so what’s the problem ?
(sarc).
So when the evidence appears?
Anybody getting vaccine injection are daft, but no intelligent pregnant woman would even consider it
Indeed, that was Pfizer’s official position on the patient info leaflet in December 2020. Mysteriously, the advice turned neutral in February. I asked a friend who was in touch directly with the public affairs person in UK to ask the company if they’d obtained new data, such as a reproductive toxicology study. The answer was no, but the warnings had been softened or deleted.
Nod we’ve got this new guidance. No new data.
I regard this as reckless & unethical.
Outrageous!
How can they recommend something that they cannot say what the longterm effects are , as there has been insufficient time to assess.
I find it disturbing that humans are being used for experimentation in the first place, but to now experiment on pregnant women and the foetus where will this all end? When does the madness stop? Does it have to be when sufficient numbers suffer 3 or 4 years down the line? By which time many thousands might be suffering. The thing is nobody knows as this drug has been rushed through the pharmaceutical companies cannot give any guarantees because they haven’t had the time to test and see any negative effects. No the general population are the Guinea pigs
Oh ffs..make up your mind! Its people’s and babies’ lives at stake here. On second thought, just leave it to mothers to decide…they know best.
““There is no evidence to suggest that other vaccines are unsafe for pregnant women, but more research is needed,” it added.”
Very reassuring. If I were a woman likely to get pregnant, I would want to see results of studies where large groups had taken the vaccine before or during pregnancy, and comparisons to a control group who had not, and check outcomes for mother and baby, up to maybe 1 or 2 years old. Somehow don’t think that data is available.
I could just as well concoct some random chemicals and offer them to people, saying “there’s no evidence to suggest this is unsafe”. It’s the inversion of the normal assumption that vaccines are unsafe until proven otherwise.
Exactly – especially when the measured benefits are absolutely minimal. For a quick visual representation :
… and yet, even here, there are still those labouring under the illusion that the “vaccines” are useful.
Sadly the research is going to be done on the population in general, where as any other medicene would’ve undergone fertility studies in animals.
Absolutely disgusting! This government is passed redemption!
I come back to the essential issue of the actual worth of the ‘vaccines’ as measured by absolute risk reduction. This paper encapsulates the hole in the reporting : https://www.mdpi.com/1648-9144/57/3/199 The abstract summarizes : “Relative risk reduction and absolute risk reduction measures in the evaluation of clinical trial data are poorly understood by health professionals and the public. The absence of reported absolute risk reduction in COVID-19 vaccine clinical trials can lead to outcome reporting bias that affects the interpretation of vaccine efficacy. The present article uses clinical epidemiologic tools to critically appraise reports of efficacy in Pfzier/BioNTech and Moderna COVID-19 mRNA vaccine clinical trials. Based on data reported by the manufacturer for Pfzier/BioNTech vaccine BNT162b2, this critical appraisal shows: relative risk reduction, 95.1%; 95% CI, 90.0% to 97.6%; p = 0.016; absolute risk reduction, 0.7%; 95% CI, 0.59% to 0.83%; p < 0.000. For the Moderna vaccine mRNA-1273, the appraisal shows: relative risk reduction, 94.1%; 95% CI, 89.1% to 96.8%; p = 0.004; absolute risk reduction, 1.1%; 95% CI, 0.97% to 1.32%; p < 0.000. Unreported absolute risk reduction measures of 0.7% and 1.1% for the Pfzier/BioNTech and Moderna vaccines, respectively, are very much lower than the reported relative risk reduction measures. Reporting absolute risk reduction measures… Read more »
Too bloody right! I like your picture diagram above.
Problem is nobody is listening, they are living in their own insulated world. While they experiment on the rest of the human race. Big drive to get the Indians to vaccinate now, must be dropping a load of readies into New Delhi.
These vaccines aren’t even vaccines. They are gene therapies and they are killing people in the long and short-term.
Stay away!!

18 Reasons I Won’t Be Getting a Covid Vaccine https://www.deconstructingconventional.com/post/18-reason-i-won-t-be-getting-a-covid-vaccine Quotes are only part of what the author has written in the original piece which has some excellent links, including links to all the animal studies conducted in the past for coronavirus vaccines, all of which failed, which is why there is no coronavirus vaccine on the market. #1: VACCINE MAKERS ARE IMMUNE FROM LIABILITY “If a company is not willing to stand behind their product as safe, especially one they rushed to market and skipped animal trials on, I am not willing to take a chance on their product. No liability. No trust.” #2: THE CHECKERED PAST OF THE VACCINE COMPANIES “The four major companies who are making these covid vaccines are/have either: Never brought a vaccine to market before covid (Moderna and Johnson & Johnson). Are serial felons (Pfizer, and Astra Zeneca). Are both (Johnson & Johnson).” #3: THE UGLY HISTORY OF ATTEMPTS TO MAKE CORONAVIRUS VACCINES “There have been many attempts to make viral vaccines in the past that ened in utter failure, which is why we did not have a coronavirus vaccine in 2020. ” “In other words, never before has any attempt to make a… Read more »
You can find raw data (see above). But you have to search hard to find mention of the real (absolute) risk reduction calculation – because it’s minimal.
Continued….. #13: FAUCI AND SIX OTHERS AT NIAID OWN PATENTS IN THE MODERNA VACCINE “Thanks to the Bayh-Dole Act, government workers are allowed to file patents on any research they do using tax payer funding. Tony Fauci owns over 1,000 patents (see this video for more details), including patents being used on the Moderna vaccine…which he approved government funding for. In fact, the NIH (which NIAID is part of) claims joint ownership of Moderna’s vaccine. Does anyone else see this as a MAJOR conflict of interest, or criminal even?” I say criminal because there’s also this pesky problem that makes me even more distrustful of Fauci, NIAD, and the NIH in general…..” #14: FAUCI IS ON THE HOT SEAT FOR ILLEGAL GAIN-OF-FUNCTION RESEARCH “What is “Gain-of-Function” research? It’s where scientists attempt to make viruses gain functions–i.e. make them more transmissible and deadlier. Sounds at least a touch unethical, right? How could that possibly be helpful? Our government agreed, and banned the practice. So what did the Fauci-led NIAID do? They pivoted and outsourced the gain-of-function research (in coronaviruses no less) to China–to the tune of a $600K grant. You can see more details, including the important timeline of these events… Read more »
In full: “#3: THE UGLY HISTORY OF ATTEMPTS TO MAKE CORONAVIRUS VACCINES There have been many attempts to make viral vaccines in the past that ended in utter failure, which is why we did not have a coronavirus vaccine in 2020. In the 1960’s, scientists attempted to make an RSV (Respiratory Syncytial Virus) vaccine for infants. In that study, they skipped animal trials because they weren’t necessary back then. In the end, the vaccinated infants got much sicker than the unvaccinated infants when exposed to the virus in nature, with 80% of the vaccinated infants requiring hospitalization, and two of them died. After 2000, scientists made many attempts to create coronavirus vaccines. For the past 20 years, all ended in failure because the animals in the clinical trials got very sick and many died, just like the children in the 1960’s. You can read a summary of this history/science here. Or if you want to read the individual studies you can check out these links: In 2004 attempted vaccine produced hepatitis in ferrets In 2005 mice and civets became sick and more susceptible to coronaviruses after being vaccinated In 2012 the ferrets became sick and died. And in this study… Read more »
O level biology tells us that a successful pregnancy relies on fertilisation of an egg, implantation, growth of a fully functioning placenta, re-jigging of the maternal immune system, extra load on maternal kidneys, liver, etc, production of the right hormones to maintain pregnancy, adequate blood flow to placenta and a whole bunch of other complex and not fully understood processes. So what fool would ever recommend injecting anything into a pregnant woman? The body’s immune system is modified so as not to reject the foreign foetal tissue, so why would you even risk tinkering with such a complex process? It would be unethical to even run a trial. Oh, wait….
Spot on.
I understood that Dr. Mengele left us in 1979, but he’s either resurrected himself or else his well-trained acolytes are busy. Of course, as we’re all in one large concentration camp, it’s highly appropriate that questionable, unethical and quite possibly lethal medical experiments should be conducted upon the inmates
emergency licensed vaccines should be used (if at all) for emergencies. pregnant women aren’t at risk of covid. nor are children – nor are most people. its just wrong to use the vaccines in a way that they aren’t licensed for.
The JCVI must know that the long-term safety of Pfizer-BioNTech and Moderna is unknown and will not be reported (in the case of BioNTech) to regulators until December 2023. How can it be reassurred by US data on short-term effects? Has any journalist asked? Are journalists unaware of the fast-track exemptions that the vaccine makers received?
“Black Lives Matter May Have Reduced Spread Of Covid, Says Sage Scientists advising government concluded BLM “facilitated open dialogue which increased knowledge” about the pandemic.” https://www.huffingtonpost.co.uk/entry/black-lives-matter-covid_uk_60706561c5b6616dcd772211 So that’s the quality of advice from SAGE. In other words, best ignored. https://sebastianrushworth.com/2021/04/17/is-the-astra-zeneca-vaccine-killing-people/ Is the Astra-Zeneca vaccine killing people? “Cerebral venous sinus thrombosis is a condition in which a blood clot has formed in one of the veins that drain blood from the brain. Since the blood is not able to move forward through the vein, it gets stuck. This often results in a stroke (the death of part of the brain due to a lack of oxygen). Cerebral venous sinus thrombosis is very rare, occuring in roughly one in 300,000 people per year. Heparin induced thrombocytopenia is an auto-immune disorder that sometimes occurs in people who are being treated with an anti-coagulant drug called heparin. Thrombocytopenia literally means “lack of platelets” (platelets are cells in the blood that form blood clots, in order to prevent bleeding, when a blood vessel is damaged). Thankfully, heparin induced thrombocytopenia is rare, which is why the drug is still used in clinical practice. So it is extremely uncommon for a patient to develop heparin induced thrombocytopenia… Read more »
According to the government’s own Yellow Card data on the AZ and Pfizer vaccines, there have been 57 spontaneous abortions and 5 foetal deaths/stillbirths following vaccination. Presumably quite a small number of pregnant women will have had the vaccine to date in the UK given the government prioritising the over 50s and the guidance to date that pregnant women should not have the vaccine.
You’d have thought these foetal deaths might have given the authorities pause for thought but it’s almost as if the vaccination programme must proceed at any cost.
It’s hard to escape the conclusion that the people in charge are evil.
Yes!
Thank you, I knew I’d seen the figures before but couldn’t remember what they were. They will obviously increase.
Don’t forget, depopulation is a conspiracy theory. Marianna Spring said so (the best part of her ran down her mother’s leg)
Statement of the bleedin’ obvious time: pregnancy only lasts nine months. So why not wait nine months, then discuss the risks and benefits? We might actually have a slightly less confused idea of the risks by then.
i think we should give it to newly born babies. Perhaps inject it into the eyes of kittens and puppies.
This has to be on of the most unethical pieces of advice ever given to pregnant women. Vaccinating babies and children runs a close second.
But offer a pregnant woman a glass of wine, or let her use the wrong type of essential oil for a massage, and you are a menace to both her and her unborn child.
