Theories of infertility “by” vaccine

@CatMcKinnell quotes our founder @MumsandTea:
"In 1991, when my mum gave birth to me, she was at greater risk of dying.
In 2020, that risk had increased and I was 5x more likely to die.
I'll be damned if my daughter is 25x more likely to die whenever she decides to give birth."

@HarrietHarman highlights the finding from a recent Select Committee report that 78% of Black women do not believe that their health is equally protected

Today, Parliament is debating Black Maternal Healthcare for the first time in its history.
The UK maternal mortality rate for white women is 8 per 100,000 live births.
For Black women, this rises to 34 per 100,000 live births #BlackMaternalHealthDebate

In November, a @HumanRightsCtte report pointed out that the NHS "acknowledge and regret this disparity but have no target to end it".
That's scandalous.
The Government has long been aware of these disparities and failed to address them.

The pandemic has exposed and exacerbated existing inequalities in maternity care.
Over half of pregnant women admitted with #Covid19 in the first two months were Black, Asian or from another minority ethnic group.
Black women have been 8x more likely to be admitted.

I know a lot of pregnant women and people of color are nervous about getting the #CovidVaccine. I am 32 weeks and 1 day today and just received the @pfizer vaccine. I feel like #ThisIsOurShot to protect us and our babies. I am a #PowerMom and will post how I feel how I react so
You can follow along and hopefully this gives others peace of mind. You don’t want to be pregnant and get Covid. Trust that I will be honest with you as we go on this journey together. #BlackMamasMatter #BlackMaternalHealth
#ThisIsOurShot Update after my first dose of the @pfizer #COVIDVaccination. Did great overall. Arm soreness started about an hour after; no worse than from a flu shot. I will tell you though for my fellow #PowerMom who are still working and or have other kids
