(CNN) There's no biological basis behind ongoing social media claims that Covid-19 vaccines can harm the placenta, the organ that provides a growing baby oxygen and nutrients during pregnancy. Just saw one the other day where a mom was telling women the covid vaccine causes miscarriages.🤬They're doing so much damage. In a new study published Tuesday, Miller and her team at Northwestern confirmed that Covid-19 vaccines do not harm the placenta and affect pregnancy adversely as a result. "Our team hopes these data, albeit preliminary, can reduce concerns about the risk of the vaccine to the pregnancy," Miller, a co-author of the study, added. The risk of death for pregnant women with Covid-19 was 1.6%, which was 22 times higher than pregnant women who were not infected, according to the study.
