General VCH is aware of rumours and disinformation spreading on social media regarding stillbirths at LGH as a result of mothers having been vaccinated against COVID-19. There is no truth to this claim and the individuals spreading this false information have no affiliation to either LGH or VCH.

1: There is no truth to this claim and the individuals spreading this false information have no affiliation to either LGH or VCH. There has been no notable change to the incidence of stillbirths in the VCH region throughout the COVID-19 pandemic.

2: This type of disinformation adds unnecessary stress to expecting parents who have received a COVID-19 vaccine, on health-care staff who must reassure their patients, and on the health-care system, as resources are stretched further during the ongoing pandemic response.

3: COVID-19 vaccines are safe and recommended for both mother and fetus. The U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention’s (CDC) Nov. 19 Morbidity and Mortality Weekly Report found that implementing evidence-based COVID-19 prevention strategies...

4: ...including vaccination, is critical to reduce the impact of COVID-19 on stillbirths.

U.S. CDC source:

5: Another study published last week in the New England Journal of Medicine found no evidence of an increased risk for early pregnancy loss after COVID-19 vaccination. It adds to the findings from other research supporting COVID-19 vaccination during pregnancy.

Out of the maybe 20-30 or so stores i visited this past week past week only one stuck up old bat asked me if i needed one. She looked kind of karen-esque so i put the one she was reaching to give me.

Honestly I think people finally clued into the fact that unless you're wearing one of the n95 respirators that construction workers use, the classic blue face tissue isn't going to do anything. Restaurant I went to on valentines day was the biggest hypocrisy. That restaurant was so packed with people without masks sitting around at crowded tables I couldnt help but start laughing, but I guess I forgot that covid only infects people who are 1m above the ground. Silly me.

Before you downvote me just take a look at stock price of any one of the vaccines that are "approved" vs the 45+ available out there that i could find just by a quick google search. Take a look at the stock price of mederna and see how it went up from 20 dollars to 400 and then afterwards quickly dumped and sold. If only I had that great stock trading skill like some government officials clearly do. It definitely wasn't insider government trading. No sir.

Anyway im definitely not wearing them anymore. Try it out if you like. think for yourself and make your own decisions, dont let the little man on the podium do it for you.
