A new Israeli study found that the Pfizer vaccine against the coronavirus is highly effective in protecting pregnant women.

A Yisrael Hayom report last week said that the study, carried out by the Kupat Cholim Maccabi on two-thirds of the Kupah’s pregnant clients, shows that the vaccine is 97% effective in protecting pregnant women.

The percentage of unvaccinated pregnant women who contracted the coronavirus while pregnant was 8.1% versus 0.05% of the vaccinated pregnant women.

All of the 62 pregnant women who have been hospitalized with the coronavirus in Israel (of whom 41 are still hospitalized) were unvaccinated.

Two Arab-Israeli sisters, aged 23 and 31, recently passed away within three weeks of each other after contracting the coronavirus while pregnant. Neither of them were vaccinated.

The study comes on the heels of two other Israeli studies regarding women and babies, with one study showing that women who are vaccinated against the coronavirus during pregnancy pass COVID antibodies to their babies and the second showing that vaccinated nursing mothers transfer antibodies to their babies in their breastmilk.

  1. Then it is time reopen the Israeli border to all foreigners who have received the vaccination, and stop causing any further damage to the Israeli economy or to Jewish families being banished from each other.

  2. So let’s not give the pregnant women safe and effective treatments like ivermectin and HCQ that could’ve made the illness much milder… instead let’s force them to be injected with experimental gene therapy and assume that there will
    Be no long term consequence to mother or infant…. good plan

  3. I am sick and tired of the medical quackery being promoted by commenters here on this site. sariray is the most recent. It is not certain that ivermectin or hydroxychloroquine are safe for pregnant women; studies have not adequately addressed the question. The statement that there are no long term consequences is unproven.

    Hydroxychloroquine has defintely been shown to be useless against COVID-19 in multiple randomized clinical trials. The clinical trials for ivermectin have not shown clinical benefit but untested larger (and possibly dangerous) doses might help. The European Medicines Agency TODAY put out a warning against using ivermectin for COVID.

    Furthermore the vaccines are not gene therapy. And the clinical trials of the Pfizer/Biontech, Moderna, Sputnik V, Johnson & Johnson, and Oxford/AstraZeneca vaccines all show that they are spectacularly effective at keeping you alive and at keeping you out of the hospital.

    We need to be more willing to include pregnant women in clinical trials.
