The article discusses the conflicting advice regarding COVID-19 vaccination for pregnant women. While Secretary of Health and Human Services Robert F. Kennedy Jr. dismisses the need for vaccines, experts, including Neil Silverman from UCLA, emphasize the heightened risks pregnant women face from COVID-19. Studies show that this group is more likely to experience severe health issues than non-pregnant women. Despite political narratives, scientific evidence strongly supports the necessity of vaccinations for pregnant individuals to protect against severe illness and complications from the virus.
"Neil Silverman, a professor of clinical obstetrics and gynecology, stated that the science shows pregnant women are at significantly increased risk from covid complications, regardless of political opinions."
"A meta-analysis of 435 studies revealed that pregnant women infected with covid were more likely to be hospitalized or die compared to their non-pregnant counterparts."
