Hey @FiftySeven -
I have never been in that site before. I just internet searched, using duckduckgo as I would never use google, something like "covid 80% miscarriage rate."
If you look at the table (from the original paper in The New England Journal of Medicine) there were 104 spontaneous abortions, all occurring at less than 20 weeks of pregnancy. Now 827 women completed pregnancy and the study took the miscarriage rate as a ratio of 104 to the entire population size of completed pregnancies (827).
However, the article states that stillborns are specified as occurring before 20 weeks and so the percentage of stillborns has to exclude women who received their first eligible vaccine in the 3rd trimester, meaning after the duration that meets stillborn specifications (again, less than 20 weeks).
So, the true percentage of stillborns (meaning losing the child at < 20 weeks for women who received their first eligible vaccine within that same timeframe), in the study, is 100 x 104/(827-700) = 100 x 104/127 = 81.9%.
I cannot and will not vouch for the site I referenced save that for the content I used it for, which is 100% factual.
I don't think it's a good idea to critique a cite within the perspective of its relevance to what is being discussed, which content for that perspective is 100% spot-on.
Would you agree?
