Mississippi health officials are urging expectant mothers to get vaccinated after a "significant" number of COVID-19 fatalities in pregnant women during the state's delta surge.

The state health department is investigating eight reports of pregnant women who died from COVID-19 in the past four weeks, all of whom were unvaccinated, Mississippi State Health Officer Dr. Thomas Dobbs said at the top of a COVID-19 briefing Wednesday.

"We do know that COVID is especially problematic and dangerous for pregnant women," Dobbs said. "We also know it can be deadly for the baby in the womb."

Compared to the rate pre-pandemic, the health department has seen a "doubling of the rate of fetal demise, or the death of the baby in the womb after 20 weeks," Dobbs said. "It's been a real tragedy."

1. I wonder if anti-vaxxer pro-lifer Gov. Abbott knows about this

4. The fact that repukes aren't howling about this

proves they don't really care about life.

5. Being unvaccinated take it out of the "tragic" category

and into the "stupid" category...Dead mommy, not breathing, impacts baby negatively. Delta more infectious, more virulent...proven by science. Bet she truly followed not drinking alcohol as well; or sneaking a cigarette, or not obtaining pre-natal care within 6 wks of pregnancy, or any number of things proven by science to have a safe, healthy pregnancy.
