Exposure to SARS-CoV-2 during pregnancy impacts the developing immune system of the fetus
Medical Xpress ^ | OCTOBER 6, 2021 | King's College London

Although there have been many studies into COVID-19, and even studies into the effect of SARS-CoV-2 infection on pregnant mothers, relatively few studies have looked at what impact maternal COVID-19 infection may have on the developing fetus.

A new study by researchers in the School of Immunology & Microbial Sciences at King's, published today in Nature Immunology, looked at the immune system of babies born to mothers exposed to SARS-CoV-2 at different stages of pregnancy.

They found that, perhaps unsurprisingly, babies born to mothers with recent or ongoing infection had enhanced levels of circulating mediators as well as increased percentages of cells known to be involved in rapid response to infection. Notably, the ability of immune cells to make mediators was enhanced even in babies born to mothers who had COVID-19 earlier in pregnancy. This suggests that infection in the mother has altered the immune system of the baby.

They also found that the mother did pass antibodies against SARS-CoV-2 to their baby through the placenta—known as the transfer of passive immunity. This was particularly evident if the infection was earlier in pregnancy.

Commenting on the importance of their findings, Dr. Deena Gibbons said that "this data highlights that the neonatal immune system can be affected by maternal state even in the absence of direct infection of the baby. This opens up many avenues of research and suggest that other maternal factors may be capable of changing fetal immune system development".

Sarah Gee, first author of the paper and a Ph.D. student in the Peter Gorer Department of Immunobiology, added that "it will be interesting to know whether these immune changes allow the neonate to make better responses to subsequent infections after birth."

The authors of the paper will be testing more neonates to see whether others may have specific responses to SARS-CoV-2 suggesting the transfer of the virus from the mother to the baby—which does appear to be rare. They are also now looking at how maternal infection may be changing the immune system of the infant and how long these changes might remain.

What could go wrong?

I think they’re advised not to get vaccinated during pregnancy, so we probably don’t have a lot of data on that. We should be getting data on people who became pregnant after vaccination though.

My daughter is vaccinated and pregnant.

All images and test are great. The baby is a girl and looks fine.
My daughter had specialized test done because she wanted to. LOL

Studies after the fact....are dishonest in themselves because they should be done...before approval. Did they do ANY animal studies for the “unapproved” vaccines?

Miscarriages and stillbirths reported way up
Longer term effects…who knows

Took years for thalidomide effects to unveil

Good question, I’ve been causally watching stats.

No difference year to year going back to 2017 in complications, miscarriages, or deformities of the infants.

Quite the opposite:

The Pfascists and desperate to increase the value of their Pfizer stock no matter the cost. After all, they view abortion as sacrosanct, why would they be at all concerned with pregnancy risk? Its like expecting Jack the Ripper to be concerned about wounds getting infected.

“Miscarriages and stillbirths reported way up” cant be true if
“No difference year to year going back to 2017 in complications, miscarriages, or deformities of the infants.”

Please cite sources for your contradictory statements.

Betcha the vaxed Mom passes spike proteins along to the baby. Spike proteins can cause deadly blood clots. Hence the name “clot shot.”

It is likely, but honestly I don’t know. Have seen no studies. We are all lab rats in a big evil experiment.

Your handle always reminds me of the Agnostic-Dyslectic-Insomniac who lays in his bed all night wondering if there really is a Dog.

Appreciate it. I am VERY skeptical of the vax but I am also open minded.

Anecdotal from hospital staff on the still births and miscarriages
Data should catch up eventually

Pharma’s own studies showed miscarriage rate of 1 in 8
Early trimester most disastrous
Data masked in the study format

If I can find these reports, so can you
Happy digging.

BTW, if you are pregnant or nursing and want to take genetic modification drugs that have never been long term trialed…you might as well go ahead and enjoy a bottle of wine. Baby should be just fine based on odds

I realize that. I’ve read your postings over time.
