You may have been informed by the U.S. Center for Disease Control (CDC) that “Preliminary findings did not show obvious
safety signals among pregnant persons who received mRNA Covid-19 vaccines.” That is based on a rushed research conducted by the
CDC and published here
(Backup: here, Tables: 2, 4).
What this publication really shows is that
certain authors and entities (namely, the CDC) should be banned from being involved in drug safety for at least four years to help
preserve the faith of the general public in the scientific process and in government agencies.
“Among 827 participants who had a completed pregnancy, the pregnancy resulted in a live birth in 712 (86.1%), in spontaneous abortion in
104 (12.6%), in stillbirth in 1 (0.1%), and in other outcomes (induced abortion and ectopic pregnancy) in 10 (1.2%). A total of 96 of 104
spontaneous abortions (92.3%) occurred before 13 weeks of gestation (Table 4), and 700 of 712 pregnancies that resulted in a live birth (98.3%)
were among persons who received their first eligible vaccine dose in the third trimester.”
Let’s say you were a tobacco researcher and wanted to follow 400 elderly people for 10 years to prove that second-hand smoke did not cause
lung cancer. So you start enrolling people into your program over time and following those people, waiting for the study period to end for each subject.
After 5 years and a few cases of lung cancer, you really want to publish something! The 10-year study period is far from over, but you have a
brilliant idea, “There are probably 100’s of trees that were exposed to 2nd hand smoke for 10 years. Sure, those trees can’t get lung cancer
just like 86.1% of the CDC study couldn’t have had a miscarriage. But they are numbers, so let’s use them!” So you take your 3 lung cancer cases
divided by 400 subjects (3 humans + 397 trees) to get a lung cancer rate of 0.75%. You compare that number to the overall, “expected” rate of
lung cancer and then your ready to publish your preliminary findings in the New England Jounal of Medicine. Welcome to #Science2021.
