Open Letter from UKMFA to Dr Sarah Stock and Editor of Nature Medicine re Claims made on Safety of Covid-19 Vaccines in Pregnancy

22/01/22

UKMFA has written to Dr Sarah Stock (lead author), and subsequently to João Monteiro (editor of Nature Medicine), concerning the paper “SARS-CoV-2 Infection and COVID-19 vaccination rates in pregnant women in Scotland”. We highlight and detail serious flaws in their methodology and argue that these flaws preclude any conclusions being drawn regarding efficacy or safety of COVID-19 vaccines in pregnancy.

UKMFA has called for an immediate retraction of this paper but has to date not received any satisfactory rebuttal to the arguments presented.
