Pregnancy: Vaccination https://greenmedinfo.com/taxonomy/term/41877/all en Congenital malformation is a possible consequence of rubella vaccination during pregnancy. https://greenmedinfo.com/article/congenital-malformation-possible-consequence-rubella-vaccination-during-pregna PMID:  JAMA. 1981 Sep 25;246(13):1413-7. PMID: 7265443 Abstract Title:  Fetal risk associated with rubella vaccine. Abstract:  Ninety-four susceptible women received either Cendehill or HPV-77 rubella vaccine. All gave birth to healthy infants. Seventeen susceptible women received the RA 27/3 vaccine. All their infants were free of abnormalities compatible with congenital rubella, as were 54 born to mothers of unknown immune status at the time of RA 27/3 vaccination and those later found to be immune. An additional susceptible woman received an unknown strain of vaccine; she also had a healthy infant. The risk of severe congenital malformations after rubella vaccination is low. In our 112 cases, the maximum risk was approximately 3%. Concern about the potential adverse effects of rubella vaccine on the fetus should not interfere with vaccination of women of childbearing age. However, since the actual risk may not be zero, women known to be pregnant should not be vaccinated, and conception should be avoided for three months after vaccination. https://greenmedinfo.com/article/congenital-malformation-possible-consequence-rubella-vaccination-during-pregna#comments Birth Defects Pregnancy: Vaccination Rubella Vaccination: Abortion Vaccine-induced Toxicity Vaccination: Adult Rubella Vaccination: All Human Study Sat, 13 Nov 2010 02:37:45 +0000 greenmedinfo 58695 at https://greenmedinfo.com During the first five years of rubella immunizations in adults concerns emerged about the possibility that the vaccines do harm to the fetus in pregnant women. https://greenmedinfo.com/article/during-first-five-years-rubella-immunizations-adults-concerns-emerged-about-po PMID:  Am J Obstet Gynecol. 1976 Feb 15;124(4):327-32. PMID: 1251853 Abstract Title:  Unresolved issues in the first five years of the rubella immunization program. Abstract:  Despite extensive use of attenuated rubella vaccine during the past five years, the degree of fetal risk in susceptible women inoculated early in pregnancy is still an unresolved issue. Although there is considerable evidence of chronic vaccine virus infection of the products of gestation in aborted fetuses, congenital defects have not yet been reported in the newborn infants of susceptible vaccinated pregnant women. The normal findings in the newborn infant can be misleading with respect to the safety of the vaccines in early pregnancy, because they represent only a small selected group of reported cases. The immediate need is for more complete reporting of all relevant cases wherever they occur in order to determine without many more years of delay whether the fetal risk has public health significance or is so low as to be of negligible importance. https://greenmedinfo.com/article/during-first-five-years-rubella-immunizations-adults-concerns-emerged-about-po#comments Pregnancy: Vaccination Rubella rubella Vaccination: Abortion Vaccine-induced Toxicity Vaccination: Adult Rubella Vaccination: All Pregnancy: Vaccination Rubella Vaccination: Abortion Vaccine-induced Toxicity Review Sat, 13 Nov 2010 02:35:24 +0000 greenmedinfo 58694 at https://greenmedinfo.com Flu vaccination causes measurable increases in inflammation in pregnant women which may increase the risk of preeclempsia and adverse outcomes such as preterm birth. https://greenmedinfo.com/article/flu-vaccination-causes-measurable-increases-inflammation-pregnant-women-which- PMID:  Vaccine. 2011 Sep 20. Epub 2011 Sep 20. PMID: 21945263 Abstract Title:  Inflammatory responses to trivalent influenza virus vaccine among pregnant women. Abstract:  OBJECTIVE: In the U.S., seasonal trivalent influenza vaccination (TIV) is currently universally recommended for all pregnant women. However, data on the maternal inflammatory response to vaccination is lacking and would better delineate the safety and clinical utility of immunization. In addition, for research purposes, vaccination has been used as a mild immune trigger to examine in vivo inflammatory responses in nonpregnant adults. The utility of such a model in pregnancy is unknown. Given the clinical and empirical justifications, the current study examined the magnitude, time course, and variance in inflammatory responses following seasonal influenza virus vaccination among pregnant women. METHODS: Women were assessed prior to and at one day (n=15), two days (n=10), or approximately one week (n=21) following TIV. Serum interleukin (IL)-6, tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-α, C-reactive protein (CRP), and macrophage migration inhibitory factor (MIF) were determined by high sensitivity immunoassay. RESULTS: Significant increases in CRP were seen at one and two days post-vaccination (ps https://greenmedinfo.com/article/flu-vaccination-causes-measurable-increases-inflammation-pregnant-women-which-#comments CRP Elevated CRP Pre-Eclampsia Pregnancy Complications Pregnancy: Vaccination Preterm Birth: Prevention Vaccine-induced Toxicity Interleukin-6 up-regulation Tumor necrosis factorα (TNFα) up-regulation Vaccination: All Vaccination: Influenza Human Study Thu, 29 Sep 2011 21:53:27 +0000 greenmedinfo 68799 at https://greenmedinfo.com In one study on rubella vaccination in 19 pregnant women, 9 aborted, 8 induced and 1 spontaneously. https://greenmedinfo.com/article/one-study-rubella-vaccination-19-pregnant-women-9-aborted-8-induced-and-1-spon PMID:  Int Ophthalmol Clin. 1975;15(4):229-41. PMID: 773881 Abstract Title:  Rubella. Abstract:  Experience with the vaccine can be summarized as follows: There were minimal problems with neuralgia and neuropathy as a result of the vaccine; vaccinated children were not a significant source of infection to the pregnant woman; the duration of immunity is similar to that obtained with natural rubella virus, but with lower antibody levels; and reinfection is more common with vaccination, but apparently no viremia develops. Several studies were reported regarding inadvertent vaccination in women who were pregnant at the time of vaccination. In one series [7], 19 pregnant women who were vaccinated were studied. Ten went to term and delivered normal babies and 9 aborted, 8 induced and 1 spontaneously. In one induced abortion, virus was demonstrable in fetal tissue including, notably, in the eye. Another case of CRS was diagnosed in utero amniocentesis [12], and the fetus was aborted at 12 weeks&#039; gestation. Another evaluation of reinfection during pregnancy [1] confirmed that this was of little risk to the fetus, as there was no apparent viremia. In summary, then, in one ophthalmological generation, from Gregg until the present time, we have experienced the recognition, the observation, and, essentially, the conquest of the congenital rubella syndrome. However, if vaccination programs are not assiduously continued, we can expect a renewed upsurge of this difficult problem. https://greenmedinfo.com/article/one-study-rubella-vaccination-19-pregnant-women-9-aborted-8-induced-and-1-spon#comments Cataract Pregnancy: Vaccination Rubella Vaccination: Abortion Vaccine-induced Toxicity Vaccination: Adult Rubella Vaccination: All Human Study Sat, 13 Nov 2010 02:48:35 +0000 greenmedinfo 58696 at https://greenmedinfo.com Maternal influenza vaccination during pregnancy does not reduce the incidence of acute respiratory illness visits among infants. https://greenmedinfo.com/article/maternal-influenza-vaccination-during-pregnancy-does-not-reduce-incidence-acut PMID:  Cancer Sci. 2004 Jul;95(7):596-601. PMID: 17146026 Abstract Title:  Impact of maternal influenza vaccination during pregnancy on the incidence of acute respiratory illness visits among infants. Abstract:  OBJECTIVE: To determine whether influenza vaccination of pregnant women prevents visits for respiratory illness in their infants born during the influenza season. DESIGN: Retrospective matched cohort study. SETTING: Four managed care organizations in the United States. Patients A total of 41 129 infants (3160 and 37 969 born to vaccinated and unvaccinated mothers, respectively) born between 1995 and 2001. Main Exposure Maternal influenza vaccination. Infants were considered exposed if their gestational age at birth was at least 30 weeks, if the time from maternal vaccination to birth was at least 28 days, and if they were exposed to at least 14 days of the influenza season. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES: Incidence of acute respiratory illnesses (outpatient, emergency department, and inpatient settings combined) and incident rate ratios (IRRs) for infants exposed and unexposed to maternal vaccination during the following 4 periods: peak influenza, respiratory syncytial virus predominant, periseasonal, and summer weeks. The time to the first acute respiratory illness during peak influenza weeks was also assessed. RESULTS: During the peak influenza weeks, infant visit rates were 15.4 and 17.1 per 100 person-months for exposed and unexposed infants, respectively (IRR, 0.90; 95% confidence interval, 0.80-1.02). Adjusted IRRs for the 4 periods found a protective effect of infant female sex, whereas Medicaid status and maternal high-risk status increased infant visit rates. Maternal influenza vaccination did not reduce visit rates during any of the 4 time periods (IRR for peak influenza season, 0.96; 95% confidence interval, 0.86-1.07) and did not delay the onset of first respiratory illness. CONCLUSION: We were unable to demonstrate that maternal influenza vaccination reduces respiratory illness visit rates among their infants. https://greenmedinfo.com/article/maternal-influenza-vaccination-during-pregnancy-does-not-reduce-incidence-acut#comments Infant Infections Pregnancy: Vaccination Upper Respiratory Infections Vaccination: All Vaccination: Influenza Meta Analysis Thu, 11 Nov 2010 18:03:53 +0000 greenmedinfo 58629 at https://greenmedinfo.com Pregnancy involves a TH2 dominant immune state which presents a challenge to vaccine efficacy. https://greenmedinfo.com/article/pregnancy-involves-th2-dominant-immune-state-which-presents-challenge-vaccine- PMID:  J Comp Pathol. 2007 Jul;137 Suppl 1:S27-31. Epub 2007 Jun 4. PMID: 17548093 Abstract Title:  Immune responsiveness in the neonatal period. Abstract:  The maintenance of pregnancy requires suppression of the maternal immune system which would naturally recognize the developing fetus as an allograft and seek to destroy it by mounting a Th1 regulated cytotoxic immune response. During pregnancy a range of soluble factors are produced by the placenta which switch maternal immune regulation towards a protective Th2 phenotype. These factors also influence the developing fetal immune system and all newborns initially have an immunological milieu skewed towards Th2 immunity. Vaccination during the neonatal period must therefore overcome the dual challenge of the inhibitory effect of maternally derived antibody and this natural Th2 regulatory environment. One means of overcoming these obstacles is by the use of adjuvant systems that can redirect the neonatal immune response towards an appropriate Th1 regulated reaction that affords protection from infectious disease. In this overview, experiments are described in which viral antigens incorporated into immune stimulatory complexes (ISCOMs) are able to induce immune responses with balanced Th1 and Th2 regulation in neonatal mice, as evidenced by the nature of the IgG subclass response and cytokine profile, and the induction of cytotoxic lymphocytes. ISCOM adjuvanted vaccines are able to induce similar protective immunity in the newborn of larger animal species including cattle, horses and dogs. https://greenmedinfo.com/article/pregnancy-involves-th2-dominant-immune-state-which-presents-challenge-vaccine-#comments Immune Function: TH2 dominance Pregnancy: Vaccination Commentary Fri, 12 Nov 2010 01:27:20 +0000 greenmedinfo 58642 at https://greenmedinfo.com State Sen.

Parents can and must make those judgments."[2] Federal law is a higher legal authority than state law, so state legislatures are supposed to defer to the U.S. Supreme Court and the U.S. Constitution.

This includes renewed propaganda to influence pregnant women to protect their unborn child and to threaten healthcare workers with job termination if they refuse vaccination. &nbsp;&nbsp;</p> <p>A recent case that has received widespread media attention across the major networks was the firing of a pregnant nurse, Dreonna Breton, from her job at Horizon Healthcare Services in Lancaster Pennsylvania for refusing the flu vaccine. Having waded through the scientific research about flu vaccine safety, Breton made the decision to reject because she felt the <a href="/anti-therapeutic-action/vaccination-influenza">lack of safety</a> outweighed the vaccine's benefits.&nbsp; Hence her employer fired her without giving due consideration to her personal OBGYN's recommendations nor the scientific evidence she provided in support of her refusal.&nbsp; The official dogma, still touted by the mainstream media, is that the flu vaccine is effective, safe and there is no need for pregnant women to avoid vaccination.</p> <p><strong>The question with all vaccines has always been whether or not the studies support federal official and the medical establishment's claims.</strong></p> <p>There is a very simple reason why the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists notes on their website that "no study to date has seen an adverse consequence of inactivate influenza vaccine in pregnant women and their offspring."&nbsp; This is because no such study has been accurately designed and &nbsp;performed to determine the flu vaccine's safety in pregnant women.&nbsp; The ACOG and CDC are not legally required to tell the truth about anything. They can spin words and science to their heart's content without legal repercussions for wrong doing or criminal behavior. Nobody takes these associations and the federal agencies to court for cherry picking their studies or conducting remarkably poor clinical trials in order to promote their personal agendas and lies. However, private vaccine makers are required to provide the most accurate information available to vaccine administering physicians and healthcare workers on manufacturing package inserts. This is not only required to educate physicians about the vaccines being given to their patients, but also to provide a rough guideline in the event of vaccine adverse effects and injury. And what do we find on these inserts? Almost categorically, there is the warning that "safety and effectiveness have not been established in pregnant women or nursing mothers" for these flu vaccines.</p> <p>There is a single question that needs to be answered: <strong>what is the actual gold standard proof to claim that the flu vaccine is safe for pregnant women and will not harm her fetus?</strong>&nbsp; There is none. <strong><a href="/blog/shocking-lack-evidence-supporting-flu-vaccines">Nor is there any valid evidence that flu vaccines are effective</a></strong>.</p> <p>In an interview with Dr. Thomas Jefferson, coordinator for the Cochrane Vaccine Field in Rome, Italy, he stated that in 2009 he conducted a thorough review of 217 published studies on flu vaccines and found only 5% reliable. In other words, 95% of published flu vaccine studies are flawed and their conclusions should be dismissed. This is not a great surprise; even CDC officials were&nbsp; forced to confess that "influenza vaccines are still among the least effective immunizing agents available, and this seems to be particularly true for elderly recipients."<a href="#_edn1" name="_ednref1" title="">[1]</a> Dr. Anthony Morris, a distinguished virologist and a former Chief Vaccine Office at the FDA, found "there is no evidence that any influenza vaccine thus far developed is effective in preventing or mitigating any attack of influenza.'
