While a 33-year-old Indiana nurse in her third week of pregnancy had a miscarriage five days after receiving her second Pfizer vaccine. She also reported that the adverse event caused a birth defect.
This is total BS. A "birth defect" in a 3-week fetus? 3 weeks is in the window where most lethal defects emerge and soon cause the natural death of the fetus. Other than testing for chromosomal or suspected genetic defects in a woman with a history of repeated miscarriages, it's extremely unusual for any testing to be done on a miscarried fetus at this stage, and there is no way that the vaccine could cause any "defects" at this stage. Since immune function is an important component of maintaining a pregnancy (the immune system has to adapt in order to tolerate the foreign tissue, which would normally be attacked), it is possible that an immune reaction to the vaccine could cause a miscarriage, but that would be a completely different issue from any pre-existing genetic or developmental abnormality in the fetus.
Who needs Planned Parenthood when you have Fauci
