Covid vaccines do NOT increase the risk of miscarriage in pregnant women, two new studies find​

• One CDC study looked at 2,456 pregnant women who received with the Pfizer-BioNTech or Moderna Covid vaccine prior to 20 weeks' gestation
• Another study from a Minnesota healthcare provider looked at 105,000 women who received a vaccine 28 days before the last day of a surveillance period
• Both found that women who suffered miscarriages were not more likely to have received a COVID-19 vaccine than women who were still pregnant
• Pregnant women are at increased risk of severe disease and death from COVID-19 compared to the general population
• Last month, the CDC encouraged pregnant women to get vaccinated against COVID-19 after previously saying pregnant women were just 'eligible'

COVID-19 vaccines do not increase the risk of miscarriage in pregnant women, two new studies find.

In one study, a team from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) looked at data from the agency's smartphone tool V-SAFE, which tracks people who received Covid shots.

In the other study, a separate team looked at different data from the CDC's Vaccine Safety Datalink.

Both sets of researchers arrived at the same conclusion: women who suffered miscarriages were not more likely to have received a COVID-19 vaccine than women who were still pregnant.

Doctors hope the findings can help convince pregnant women, who are at a greater risk of severe disease and death from COVID-19, to get vaccinated.

Two new studies found that women who suffered miscarriages were not more likely to have received a COVID-19 vaccine than women who were still pregnant. Pictured: A pregnant woman waits in a food pantry line at S. Mary's Church in Waltham, Massachusetts, May 2020

Pregnant women are at increased risk of severe disease and death from COVID-19 compared to the general population but just 24.8% (light blue line) have gotten at least one vaccine dose

As of Wednesday, only 24.8 percent of pregnant people have received at least one COVID-19 vaccine dose, according to CDC data.

This is despite several studies finding that expecting mothers are more vulnerable to severe cases of COVID-19 or death than the general population.

One study last month from the University of California, Irvine Medical Center found that women undergoing childbirth while infected with COVID-19 were 5.7 times more likely to end up in intensive care units at 5.2 percent compared to 0.9 percent of women without Covid

Additionally, about 0.1 percent of mothers with the virus died in comparison with 0.01 percent of those who weren't infected, a 10-fold difference.

For the first new study, published on pre-print server Research Square, a team from the CDC analyzed data from V-SAFE.

The tool uses text messages and web surveys so the people who received the immunization can report any symptoms or side effects they are experiencing.

Researchers looked at 2,456 pregnant women who received either the Pfizer-BioNTech or the Moderna Covid vaccine prior to 20 weeks' gestation as of July 19, 2021.

Next, they looked at the risk of miscarriage, also described in the study as a 'spontaneous abortion.'

Miscarriages occur between 11 percent and 16 percent of pregnancies and the study found that the miscarriage rate in women who received the COVID-19 vaccine is 12.8 percent, within the normal range.

When broken down by age, miscarriages ranged from 9.8 percent among 20-to-29-year-olds to 28.8 percent in those aged 40 and older.

This is also in line with data, which find that women are at a higher risk for a miscarriage when they conceive at age 35 or older.

'These findings add to accumulating evidence that mRNA COVID-19 vaccines during pregnancy are safe,' the CDC team wrote.

In the second new study, published in JAMA, a team from HealthPartners, a healthcare provider based in Bloomington, Minnesota, looked at data from the CDC's Vaccine Safety Datalink.

The Vaccine Safety Datalink is a collaborative project between CDC's Immunization Safety Office and nine health care organization studying the adverse effects of vaccines.

Researchers analyzed data of 105,000 patients who were early in their pregnancies between December 15, 2020 and June 28, 2021.

Among the women, 14.3 percent received at least one dose of the Pfizer, Moderna or Johnson & Johnson vaccine.

They looked at women between six weeks' and 19 week's gestation and identified the 'index date' as the last day of the four-week surveillance period.

The team found that women had received a COVID-19 vaccine 28 days before the index date in eight percent of ongoing pregnancies and 8.6 percent of miscarriages.

This means women who suffered miscarriages did not have higher odds of receiving a COVID-19 vaccine in the previous 28 days compared to women who did not suffer miscarriages.

'Our data adds to a growing body of research that should give pregnant people confidence to get vaccinated against COVID-19, if they haven't already,' lead author Dr Elyse Kharbanda, a senior investigator at HealthPartners Institute, told The Star Tribune.

'It's especially important for pregnant people to protect themselves against the virus because COVID-19 infections may impact them more severely and lead to birth complications.'

The findings come about one month after the CDC urged pregnant women receive the COVID-19 vaccine as soon as they can.

Previously, the agency said expectant mothers were eligible for the vaccine but did not fully recommended that they receive it due to uncertainties over potential long-term effects.

Seniors taking COVID booster below six months after 2nd dose? ‘No concerns’: MOH​

SINGAPORE — There are no concerns for seniors who have completed their COVID-19 vaccination regime to receive their booster shots "slightly earlier" than the minimum recommended six-month interval after their second doses, said the Ministry of Health (MOH).
The ministry was on Tuesday (28 September) responding to Yahoo News Singapore's queries, following multiple accounts by those aged above 60 that they have been invited to receive their third vaccine shots under the national booster programme about five months after they took their second doses.

These seniors, who are not immunocompromised, were allowed to take them as early as the day after receiving a short message service (SMS) invitation for the booster shots.
"Individuals eligible to receive booster doses can expect to receive an SMS invite from around five months after their second dose, to provide some lead time for individuals to make an appointment," said MOH.
The ministry added that the expert committee on COVID-19 vaccination’s recommendation remains that those aged 50 and above should receive a booster shot at least six months after two doses.
"However, there are no concerns if an individual takes the booster dose slightly earlier than six months," said MOH, without detailing a specific time frame.
The expert committee had earlier announced that it recommended seniors to receive their booster shots six to nine months after two doses. Individuals who are immunocompromised have been recommended to receive them two months after.
Seniors who have taken their booster shots ahead of the official recommendation told Yahoo News Singapore that they have no health concerns arising from taking them prematurely, with one man in his early 60s saying he had no "special reason" to decline the invitation.
The interval between the man, who declined to be named, receiving his second and booster shots was about five months and a week.
Another senior said that he took the booster shot ahead of the six-month interval because of the recent surge in daily COVID-19 cases, which have been projected by authorities to hit 3,200 this weekend.
"Better safe than sorry," the 65-year-old man, who only wanted to be identified as Wong, said. The man received his second dose in late April and took his booster shot last week, less than five months later.
But not all are keen to take their booster shots too early. Leong, who declined to share his full name, said his 64-year-old mother had her second jab on 22 April and was sent an SMS invitation last Sunday to take her booster shot.
Instead of booking her appointment on Monday, she has decided to wait out the six-month period to observe the effects of such shots on other seniors, added Leong, 34.

Different country, different timeline for boosters​

Singapore's booster vaccine programme began some two weeks for those aged 60 and above who had completed their vaccination regimen at least six months ago. Almost 91,500 seniors have received their booster doses as of last Thursday.
Last Friday, authorities announced those aged 50 to 59 who are eligible will be progressively invited from 4 October to receive their booster doses.
Only mRNA-based vaccines, developed by Pfizer-BioNTech and Moderna, are used in Singapore's national vaccination drive and by extension, its booster programme. While these vaccines have been granted interim authorisation under the pandemic special access route in Singapore, they have not been fully registered.
Under Singapore's booster programme, those who have been fully vaccinated with the Pfizer vaccine can opt to take a third shot of the Moderna vaccine, and vice versa.
To date, 82 per cent of Singapore's population have completed their full regimen or received two doses of COVID-19 vaccines, and 85 per cent have received at least one dose.
The city-state is among several countries that are already offering or planning to offer their populations COVID-19 booster shots, particularly for older adults and those with weak immune systems, as a number of studies show vaccine efficacies wane over time.
But timelines for booster shots differ from country to country, with some offering them as early as from four months to nine months after second shots.
Israel, the first country to start administering such shots, give them to those vaccinated at least five months after their second doses. The US had initially proposed to administer a booster at least eight months after a person is fully vaccinated but later revised it to six months.
Likewise, those in France and the UK can get the shot following a minimum six-month period after they are fully vaccinated with the Pfizer or Moderna vaccine. In Hungary, people have been advised to wait for four months after their second doses, regardless of age, health, or which vaccine they receive initially.
Austria on the other hand plans to begin its booster programme in October, nine months after the first group of people received their second doses.
However, there is no consensus yet among experts and agencies on whether a third dose is necessary.
The World Health Organization (WHO) in August said that current data do not indicate a need for booster shots and has repeatedly called for a delay, arguing that the most vulnerable people worldwide should be prioritised for full vaccination before high-income countries deploy third shots.
“Vaccine injustice and vaccine nationalism”, where vaccination rates are not raised globally, increase the risk of more contagious variants emerging, WHO director-general Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus said.
Those whose immune system is compromised should get booster shots, though they only represent a small percentage of the population, he added.

SDP's Paul Tambyah on MOH's stance​

In response to queries from Yahoo News Singapore, Paul Tambyah, president of the US-based International Society of Infectious Diseases, said the reason for allowing seniors to take their booster shots in a shorter interval is due to the current surge in cases in Singapore.
The epidemiologist said, "The numbers are a little concerning so perhaps they (MOH) want the immunity of the seniors boosted even before the data are available."
On the expert committee's recommendation for an interval of between six and nine months after two doses, Dr Tambyah said MOH need not strictly abide by it as there is a shortage of scientific data on the issue, as seen by the fierce debate in the US.
Nonetheless, MOH's stance that residents can get their booster shots slightly before six months from their second doses is "reasonable" given the lack of data, he added.
His comments come on the same day when the Singapore Democratic Party (SDP) outlined an eight-point plan to exit the pandemic, which was drawn up by an SDP healthcare panel led by Dr Tambyah, who is the party's chairman.

Mid-week Update:

More teaching professionals covided in childcare, MOE schools and private enrichment centers.
My take: In Sept, more adults from the above insitutions are covided than students.

Proportionally more non local-born Singaporeans, PR, permit holders covided, than local-born.
My take: Living condition of the above-mentioned might be less hygienic and crowded. Josephine's era advocated the establishment of huge dorm estates probably aggravated the issue.

Many many cleaners continue to be covided.
My take: Delta likely to hide in toilets like SARS in 2004. Many cleaning companies have multiple cases in same location.

Hospital-ward covid cases tracing completed but cluster not announced.
My take: TTSH medical personals are at risks being overworked in such crowded wards. SAF should send all the medics and especially MOs to help out and free up consultants, senior consultants and staff nurses for more severe cases. SAF has also medical units which should set up field hospitals to ease the burden in hospital..

Airport staff covided but to welcome foreigners, this cluster is also not announced.
My take: Front line and cargo staff are higher risks. Airport staff should be on full PPE and N99 masks. Singapore must also act responsibility and should stop all passenger-flights from high risk countries.

Seniors taking COVID booster below six months after 2nd dose? ‘No concerns’: MOH​

I am not a doctor but allow me to share my unqualified common sense opinions.

Having booster shots within a short-period of time will cause a surge in antibodies in the body, causing undesired inflammations in vulnerable parts of the body.

5 seniors die from Covid-19 complications; 2,236 new cases in Singapore​

SINGAPORE - Five more people have died from Covid-19 complications in Singapore, the Ministry of Health (MOH) said on Tuesday (Sept 28).

They comprised four Singaporean men aged between 69 and 79, and a 77-year-old Singaporean woman.

Two of them were unvaccinated, while one was partially vaccinated. The other two were inoculated against the virus.

All had various underlying medical conditions, MOH said, without giving details of these conditions in its statement.

It was the ninth consecutive day that deaths from Covid-19 were reported. So far, 85 people here have died because of the virus.

The latest fatalities bring the total number of people who have died of Covid-19 this month to 30, compared with 18 last month.

The number of new cases here hit 2,236 on Tuesday – surpassing the 2,000 mark for the first time.

It was also 589 more than Monday’s figure.

The total number of cases in Singapore now stands at 91,775.

The latest case figure includes 1,711 cases in the community and 515 among dormitory residents. The remaining 10 are imported cases.

Among the local cases are 483 people who are above the age of 60.

The 10 imported cases were already placed on stay-home notice (SHN) or isolated on arrival
in Singapore.

Six of them were detected on arrival, while four developed the illness during SHN or isolation.

A new cluster has also emerged at Man Fatt Lam Elderly Joy Day Centre in Bedok.

Two cases were added to the cluster, taking its total number to 11.

Transmission took place among clients and staff at the centre, said MOH. Ten of the cases were clients, while the remaining case was a staff member.

The centre has been closed since Saturday, said MOH.

Six more cases were also added to the Pasir Panjang Wholesale Centre cluster, bringing its total to 106. MOH said the new patients had been quarantined.

The cluster at Blue Stars Dormitory in Jurong West had 20 new cases, taking its total to 401, while 40 were added to the Woodlands Dormitory cluster, which now had a total of 216 cases.

Meanwhile, the cluster at Avery Lodge in Jurong had 15 more cases and a total of 256.

Transmission took place in the dormitories, with no evidence of spread outside them, and that new cases had been quarantined.

MOH added that 1,325 cases are currently warded in hospital.

Among them are 209 patients who need oxygen supplementation. There are also 30 people in critical condition in the intensive care unit.

Of the patients who have fallen very ill, 201 are above the age of 60.

Death is actually doing these old farts a favour. At least their suffering has ended

So can claim for compensaton from Govt ?

I remember they started with a very 伟大 slogan to encourage those who were reluctant to go ahead and get vaccinated - to protect your loved ones. That means even if you do not care about your own life, you should still get vaccinated for the sake of not infecting the people around you. The message then was the vaccinated would not transmit the virus to the people around them.

Suddenly, it's now all about protecting only yourself, and only from severe symptoms. The loved ones are now out of the picture.

'Once again, empty tables': Eatery with differently-abled staff appeals for help online​

September 28, 2021published at 6:26 PMByMelissa Teo AsiaOne

The many rounds of Covid-19 restrictions have left most of us feeling exhausted and one of the hardest-hit sectors is the F&B industry.

Dignity Kitchen, a food court at Boon Keng that employs differently-abled folk, is one establishment that is feeling the effects. In fact, business is so bad that they took to Facebook yesterday (Sept 27) in hopes of getting some support from the public.

More from AsiaOneRead the condensed version of this story, and other top stories with NewsLite.
"Once again empty tables at Dignity Kitchen," read the post, which was accompanied by a series of photos showing the ghost town-like premises.
One photo also showed the staff lined up behind the counters, patiently waiting for customers.
The post was met with a swell of online support — at the time of writing, it has accumulated over 1,400 times and over 100 comments.

A number of netizens promised to pay the food court a visit in their free time.

Some netizens even chimed in to recommend their favourite menu items.

If you prefer not to dine-in, they also have takeout and bento menus with halal offerings and vegetarian options.

Each bento costs $10 per pax. Options include baked chicken with mixed spices and pan-seared fish fillet with teriyaki sauce.

And if you order a minimum of 10 sets, you'll enjoy a discounted pricing of $8 per pax.
There are also a la carte items such as nasi lemak with fried chicken ($4), kolo mee ($5) and chicken chop ($6.50).

Conceived in 2006 and established in 2010, Dignity Kitchen is Singapore's first social enterprise kitchen. It was founded by Koh Seng Choon, who used money from his savings, a re-mortgaged property and his late mother's inheritance to fund the project.

The brand's mission, according to their website, is to "restore dignity to the differently-abled and disadvantaged through vocation with passion".

This isn't the first time the business has gone through a rough patch. When Koh first started Dignity Kitchen's first outlet at Balestier Road, he says he made zero sales because his trainees wore badges that stated their disabilities and customers would avoid them. Some customers would even ask if they would "die from eating the food".

Today, the social enterprise has grown to include Dignity Learn, a hawker training school for unemployed adults with special needs, and Dignity Mama, a second-hand bookstore.

Finally! After about 100 posts, you finally got the spelling right.

You are like the mentally challenged kid who can't seem to remember his ABCs

There. It wasn't so diffcicult right?

mRNA cucks are just being retarded. Lol

Song boh?

 

[hbk75]

Yes mRNA is working perfectly well . It's a brilliant new way to make a vaccine.

So good that trials are underway to see if a mRNA vaccine against HIV is possible.

If this becomes a reality I am very sure all the gay anti mRNA morons here will trample over each other to get it and not ask stupid questions

Go take your 4th booster. Lol

Very good business sense. When unvaxxed employees get COVID and lie in hospital, they won't be a drain on the airline's healthcare policies. United will also prosper when people realise how considerate they are at taking care of the welfare of their employees to ensure all are vaccinated.
