Flu-shots linked to miscarriages?

Post by Maria »

Pregnant women are one of the vaccine industry’s main demographic targets. But new information may add some fuel to the fire for those who say that pregnant women shouldn’t be injected with a vaccine. According to a new article in the Washington Post, women who get the flu vaccine two years in a row are at increased risk for miscarriage.

And WaPo continues to state that unless more hard evidence is in, which may take years,
pregnant women should continue to get their annual flu shots.
Wow. How many children will die in the womb or will be subject to an early miscarriage
and certain death from those complications?

Lord Jesus Christ, have mercy on me a sinner.

The results, published Wednesday in the journal Vaccine, are puzzling and contradict earlier research. A study conducted by the same scientists about a decade ago looked at this question and concluded there was no miscarriage risk from getting a flu shot.

The new finding raises a lot of questions and is sure to provoke concern among pregnant women, who may be tempted to forgo vaccinations. But experts and even the authors themselves caution that this result is far from conclusive. (Source:

Studies tend to show all sorts of things; what the usual result is, that is what should be trusted. Hopefully, and most likely, this is a fluke, which future studies will disprove.
