So before the vaccine came out was the numbers still 98%? At the height of the pandemic it must have been more?

Of course, before the vaccine came out 100% of anyone in hospital with covid would have been unvaccinated

yes the statistic is “98% of pregnant women in hospital with Covid are unvaccinated”, not “98% of pregnant women in hospital have Covid”. I think that’s the confusion here.

Yeah, I got that wrong, what I mean is, was it a big thing, was pregnant women in hospital with covid out of control? I don't recall hearing about it, so why now?

Arista needs to find the stats, if they were all unvaxed at that time you'd expect it to be a large number. Because according to this if you are vaxxed it drops to 2%. You'd think there would be far, far more then then now.

there have been loads of published stories on pregnant women with covid right from the start of the pandemic

Here's one from last week from a CDC study.

Why does Arista have to find that information? He didn't start the thread.

The figures don't have to be huge anyway....Even if there are only 100 women across the country in hospital who are pregnant and have covid (a miniscule proportion of the population) and onlt 2 of them have been vaccinated, then 98% of.prenant women in hospital with covid will be unvaccinated

I like to question things Annie, I don't trust people who turn a blind eye to young girls being raped, who employ predatory paedophiles like Jimmy Saville, Rolf Harris and Stuart Hall for decades, who give no platform to a large amount of sceptical protesters but will constantly show a few idiots protesting daily in their news cycles. Who suggested we were racist for the way we voted in the referendum, who start a war on a lie. I want to be sure they're not trying to kill off the soon to be born.

There's no harm in questioning things.

I do agree....I completely understand vaccine hesitancy in pregnant women, from the moment you know you are pregnant you are hyper aware and conditioned that anything you put in your body has the potential to cross the placenta and affect your baby - no mayo, no alcohol, limit caffiene, be careful with other foods etc etc and like I said earlier, I was advised not to use an over the counter cold medicine so I would possibly have have been one of the hesitant ones.

However, I have read the data, along with the stories of pregnant women who have died and.never met their children because they were unable to fight the virus who may have survived had they been vaccinated.

Its a tough one and women should not be vilified for being hesitant and worried

vaccine hesitancy is being lumped in with ant vax. Sometimes they merge into 1, other times they are for completely different reasons.

The media and the government are peddling a false narrative in that regard. Vilifying women for being concerned for their unborn child is a pretty low thing to do I think
