As an OB, I am disappointed to hear the media discourage pregnant folks from considering the #CovidVaccine.

1/ A thread 🧡 2/What is so bad about COVID?
COVID is terrible for pregnant folks. Observational data show us that pregnant pts 5x more likely to end up in ICU or on a ventilator than non-pregnant pts. COVID increases risk of pregnancy loss, preterm birth and maternal death.
