In Mississippi, Fetal Deaths Double Among Unvaccinated Pregnant Women With COVID-19
Probably so preventable for these families. The selfish stupidity overwhelms me when I see stories like this.

Fetal deaths have doubled among unvaccinated pregnant women who suffer COVID-19 infections, State Health Officer Dr. Thomas Dobbs said during a Mississippi State Department of Health press conference today.
“We’ve identified 72 fetal deaths associated with pregnant moms who had COVID, which is twice the background rate of what we would’ve expected” prior to the pandemic, he said.
A “fetal death,” also known as a “stillbirth,” refers to deaths that occur after 20 weeks gestation. The statistic does not include miscarriages, which are deaths that occur at 20 weeks or earlier.

Equally certain that long lines are queuing up to receive the vaccine, lest the increase in stillbirths and deaths from C-section complications continue unabated.
