What does Peter McCullough say about COVID vaccines during pregnancy?

Peter McCullough called vaccinating pregnant women complete malpractice, since pregnant women and women of childbearing potential were excluded from the trials. He said about 3,000 pregnant American women, mostly nurses, took the shot in the first week of the December 2020 rollout. He argued that a CDC paper in the New England Journal of Medicine implied a first-trimester miscarriage rate as high as 84%, against a usual 15%, and that vaccine fever can trigger pregnancy loss.

• McCullough said the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists backed vaccination at any stage of pregnancy without data.
• McCullough said the CDC authors later conceded in letters that they could not give a true miscarriage figure.
• McCullough said COVID itself carried fever risk in pregnancy and that hydroxychloroquine, ivermectin and monoclonal antibodies were safe options.
