Of the 176 babies in the case group, 43 were admitted to ICU. 25 of those were critically ill and received life support (including mechanical ventilation, vasoactive infusions, or extracorporeal membrane oxygenation – one baby). One infant died. 88 percent of the mothers of babies admitted to the ICU were unvaccinated, as was the mother of the baby who died and the mother of the baby who required ECMO.
Based on these findings, the study concludes that “Effectiveness of maternal vaccination during pregnancy against COVID-19 hospitalization in infants aged <6 months was 61% (95% CI = 31%–78%).”
The end.
Well, that was the end for every single article reporting on the study in the MSM.
But it isn’t – because… what happened to the control group? The study doesn’t tell us what happened to those infants. In that case, why have a control group at all? Is there something the CDC doesn’t want us to know about those infants? 32 percent of the mothers in that group received two COVID shots during pregnancy. What happened to their babies? The CDC doesn’t tell us.
All we know from this study is that the chances of an infant getting seriously ill from COVID seem to be higher if the mother did not receive the shots. It doesn’t tell us what the chances of an infant getting seriously ill in general are – and while that may appear an unreasonable expectation, it isn’t.
