Does proximity to vaccinated people cause miscarriages?

It’s always important to consider the source of naysayer claims. This is not the first time this physician’s beliefs have strained credulity; she also claims thatCOVID vaccine targets several chromosomes in order to remove human empathy.

Predictably, she has no study evidence to support her claim—only anecdotal cases of miscarriage. Anecdotes are not proof, and correlation does not confirm causation.

In fact, it is difficult if not impossible to identify the cause of a miscarriage. And, because miscarriages are so common (up to 26% of all pregnancies end in miscarriage), someone could anecdotally link them to anything from watching Netflix to being home during a thunderstorm. So let’s look at the data we do have. Clinical research has found no evidentiary link between miscarriages and being vaccinated, let alone from merely being in the presence of a vaccinated person. Besides, we also have plenty of evidence from studies of pregnant vaccinated individuals demonstrating that the mRNA COVID vaccines are safe during pregnancy and even offer protection to the newborn after birth.
