I was finishing the edits today on my infectious disease chapter for my next book on pregnancy loss, and when pregnant you really don't want flu, covid, CMV... And it's not only increased risk of miscarriage it's preterm birth, IUGR, preeclampsia.
Death rates in pregnancy DOUBLED during 2020-2021, and there are mountains of evidence showing COVID infection leads to significantly worse outcomes for pregnancy & baby. There are also mountains of evidence showing COVID vaccination has no adverse effects on pregnancy or baby but does protect them.

This is the national threat to abortion access that I would be focusing on. The extremist judge in Texas who ruled to strip FDA approval from mifepristone (the first of two medications used for medication abortion) in 2023 just revived the case with new plaintiffs, and it's likely headed to SCOTUS.
RFK Jr. says he will instruct the NIH and FDA to review the safety of the abortion drug mifepristone.

I’m not saying this bill doesn’t matter because it does normalize abortion bans and spread abortion stigma + disinformation.
However, it’s important for folks to know that this particular bill has been introduced by every Congress since 2011.

Remember when Trump said he wasn’t going to implement a total abortion ban? Yeah, well here’s the bill proposing a nationwide abortion ban.
Just another egregious LIE to add to the long list of lies from this corrupt administration.

This is so fascinating to me but I still wonder how it would be possible in humans as we shed our uterine lining, unlike most animals? Where would the embryo “go dormant”?
It turns out that when an embryo finds itself in an inhospitable environment, it can... go dormant.
In many species this is not reversible, the embryos die. But in 130 species of mammals, embryos can reverse and start developing again
