WorldNetDaily is genetically incapable of not falsely fearmongering about COVID vaccines, it seems. The latest effort came in a June 2 article by Bob Unruh:
An obstetrician and gynecologist has confirmed in testimony to the U.S. Senate that the figure for the miscarriage deaths following COVID-19 shots, demanded by Biden administration officials for pregnant women, “mirrors the effects of chemical abort drugs.”
The stunning news of the threat from the drugs pushed by Joe Biden onto the American public during the China virus pandemic came from Dr. James Thorp, who delivered a “haunting” moment in testimony to the U.S. Senate Committee on Homeland Security & Governmental Affairs.
Thorp explained that women vaccinated during their first trimester suffered an 82% miscarriage rate.
He said, too, that the government knew what it was doing.
He cited an “infamous” Shimabukuro study from the New England Journal of Medicine that claimed a 12.6% miscarriage rate.
“But when you isolate the data for women vaccinated in the first trimester, the miscarriage rate rises to 82%, Dr. Thorp said. This 82% claim remains a topic of debate within the scientific community. If true, ‘This figure mirrors the effects of chemical abort drugs,’ Dr. Thorp lamented,” reports confirmed.
In fact, Shimabukuro does not support that interpretation of his work:
“The totality of evidence from these monitoring systems indicates that COVID-19 vaccination during pregnancy is not associated with an increased risk of miscarriage or stillbirth,” said Dr. Tom Shimabukuro, director of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention’s Immunization Safety Office.
Multiple studies conducted in the U.S. and abroad found no significant safety concerns for pregnant people who received COVID-19 vaccines or their babies.
COVID-19, on the other hand, can have severe consequences in pregnancy.
Researchers have found substantial evidence that pregnant people infected with the COVID-19 virus are more likely to experience certain health complications, including delivering a preterm or stillborn infant.
“COVID-19 vaccination during pregnancy is safe and effective,” Shimabukuro said. “There is substantial evidence that vaccination during pregnancy protects pregnant women, protects their pregnancies and protects their developing fetuses.”
Thorp himself is a COVID misinformer who has been repeatedly busted falsely claiming that COVID vaccines cause adverse outcomes in pregnancy. Unruh doesn’t tell his readers this, of course; rather, he uncritically repeated a claim that “Thorp also cited a separate study that revealed the COVID shots as among the “deadliest and most injurious” ever, with more than 42,000 injuries and 1,223 deaths.” Unruh made no effort to identify that study.
