New Study Looks at How Covid Vaccine Affected Fertility, Miscarriage During Pandemic
. . .After a brief baby bump early in the COVID-19 pandemic, birth rates in the US and other wealthy countries dropped as the public health emergency eased.
That sudden decline sparked online speculation that the rollout of mRNA COVID-19 vaccines could have played a role, with critics suggesting the shots may have hurt fertility or made it harder to carry a pregnancy to term.

About 75% of the women were vaccinated against COVID-19 between 2021 and 2024, and 97% of those shots were mRNA vaccines.
When the researchers compared childbirth rates between vaccinated and unvaccinated women, they found no statistically significant difference between the two groups. (Read more from “New Study Looks at How Covid Vaccine Affected Fertility, Miscarriage During Pandemic” HERE)
