Study reopens debate on whether COVID shots are associated with miscarriages
New research published in the
International Journal of Obstetrics & Gynaecology (BJOG) looks at the controversial issue of miscarriages and COVID vaccination.
The
study looks at data on pregnant women between the ages of 15 and 50 in Ontario, Canada from December 2020 to December 2021, coinciding with the COVID injection campaign.
The study divides the women based on their vaccination timing relative to their pregnancies and compared the miscarriage rates between them.
While the study deals only with women who were pregnant, the paper goes out of its way to refer to them as “pregnant people” in an apparent tip of the hat to woke “science” that denies the fact that only females can get pregnant.
Nevertheless, the study reports some interesting results:
The study found that the rate of miscarriage was 3.6 per 10,000 person-days among remotely vaccinated women (more than 27 days before the estimated conception date) and 3.2 per 10,000 person-days among recently vaccinated women (less than 28 days before conception and up to 120 days after conception).
The rate for unvaccinated women was only 1.9 per 10,000 person-days.
Abortion rates for remotely vaccinated women were 7.7 per 10,000 person-days, 7.4 per 10,000 person-days for recently vaccinated women, and just 4.2 for unvaccinated women.
The aggregate figures show miscarriages and abortions were about 1.78 times more common among the vaccinated compared to the unvaccinated.
This is a dramatic conclusion for a study funded by the Canadian Institutes of Health Research (CIHR), under a grant that looks at the COVID vaccine and “existing disparities among marginalized populations." The study was also supported by the Ontario Health Data Platform (OHDP), a “Province of Ontario initiative to support Ontario's ongoing response to COVID-19 and its related impacts.”
These two entities have pushed for the government’s failed COVID response including masks, lockdowns, and vaccine mandates.
However, rather than concluding that there was an increased association between miscarriages and the COVID shots, as the raw data suggests, the researchers put the numbers through statistical analysis to conclude the opposite - that there was no increased risk of miscarriages among the vaccinated.
Expert in analytics and risk management, MIT Professor Retsef Levi
points out several important points about the study:
The aggregated rates 68–76% higher among vaccinated!
Authors report that the 'covariate-adjusted' rate of induced abortions is still 10% higher for vaccinated, but not significantly higher for miscarriages!
Coefficients of the Cox model used for 'adjustment' not reported (major concern)!
Reported 'Adjustment' for women who are vaccinated during pregnancy is obviously biased since follow-up time post-vaccination in more advanced gestational weeks (lower risk) is compared to follow-up time of unvaccinated during earlier gestational weeks (higher risk)!
Say a recently vaccinated woman got the vaccine at the end of week 12, she will contribute 13 weeks as unvaccinated and 6 as vaccinated but the latter have a significantly lower risk for miscarriage
'Adjustment' for women vaccinated before pregnancy doesn't consider the potential booster doses some of them received during pregnancy!Prof. Levi adds that it's “hard to believe that these vaccines are still recommended to anyone and particularly pregnant women!”
Previous dataThe tension between raw real-world data and researcher-processed data can be found throughout the debate on COVID vaccine effectiveness and adverse reactions.
Advocates in favor of vaccinating pregnant women point to numerous studies that show there is no increased risk of miscarriage from the COVID shots — most are included as part of a meta-study called “The risk of miscarriage following COVID-19 vaccination: a systematic review and meta-analysis.”
The
analyses looked at 21 studies and concluded “COVID-19 vaccines are not associated with an increase in the risk of miscarriage or reduced rates of ongoing pregnancy or live birth among women of reproductive age.”
But cautioned that the “current evidence remains limited and larger population studies are needed to further evaluate the effectiveness and safety of COVID-19 vaccination in pregnancy.”
Data sets that have raised red flags regarding the shots’ association with miscarriages include an overall rise in pregnancy terminations in Scotland beginning with the introduction of the COVID shots as shown in this chart.

testified before a congressional hearing on
At the hearing, she referred to the dramatic increase in miscarriages in her practice as something she has “never seen before.”
Dr. Biss, who has been involved with over 8,000 pregnancies, explained that her patient population had about a 60% vaccination rate which is in line with the Florida average.
In 2020 her patients' miscarriage rate was about 4%. In 2021 (the year the shots were administered) she saw a 7–8% rate of miscarriage, and by 2022 that rate doubled again to 15%.
Dr. Biss explained that the national average rate of miscarriages is about 5.39% according to a study by
Naert and colleagues.

To cast a wider net looking for aggregate data on miscarriages and COVID shots, the FDA’s Vaccine Adverse Event Reporting System (VAERS) is a good place to start.
The system reports more miscarriages for the COVID vaccine than all other vaccines since the system began over 30 years ago.
As of July 2023, there were
3,836 reports of spontaneous abortions (i.e., miscarriages) associated with the COVID vaccines out of 4,711 total reports for all vaccines combined — 81% of all reports were just from the COVID shots.
VAERS analyst and computational biologist Dr. Jessica Rose compared COVID vaccine adverse events with influenza vaccine adverse events and found that the miscarriage rates per dose are significantly higher among COVID reports than reports following the influenza vaccine. “There were 2.6 times as many COVID shots doled out than flu shots, but a 30 times higher rate of miscarriage in exposed women per million doses,” she observed.

https://jessicar.substack.com/p/according-to-cdc-people-can-get-pregnant The question of whether the COVID shots are associated with miscarriages is still one that has no definitive answer. While vaccine proponents continue to assert its safety, the surge in miscarriages, as reported by individual practitioners and the FDA's Vaccine Adverse Event Reporting System, challenges that narrative.
Comprehensive and unbiased research is what critiques have been demanding not just on this issue, but on a wide variety of issues surrounding the public health response to COVID - as time passes satisfying this demand is as elusive as ever.
