There will be no comparing of side effects and then make a decision as the Pfizer and AZ side effects wont be known for many years.

How those who are advocating pregnant women to take the vaccine can look at them self in the mirror is anyone's guess.  Who in the right mind while having a delicate fetus forming inside them would without the pressure of media/pollies etc happily accept a vaccine when there is no side effect data available and put bluntly they cannot tell you 100% if its safe for the mother let alone a fetus.  I mean has there even been one pregnant women die of this strain in Australia and yet they try and scare poor mothers into taking it.  And no recourse later will make up for babies being born with health issues.

Madness.

If thats your understanding of English, i'm not going to trust your understanding of Science.

FWIW, my wife is a microbiologist/protein biochemist who specialises in infectious diseases and vaccine research.
Forgive me if i'm going to trust her judgement over yours.
My sister in law is pregnant with her first child and we had no trouble encouraging her to get the vaccine.

If you want links to this to educate yourself on the topic, i can provide them for you.

That aside, there are personal circumstances that would cause a doctor(s) to say yes/no other than because the vaccine is not safe....but that is what is usually assumed.

Like (I’m nearly certain) many on here I find your posts are rarely if ever accepting of people’s ‘ opinions’ generally have a condescending slate and mostly angled towards you not ever backing down in attempting to convince everyone you’re an authority on every single topic discussed. Apart from that you’re usually rude and find a way to get personal.

Your reply confirms the above.

Your poor wife ??‍♂️
