Shanghai First Maternity and Infant Hospital studied 18 fetuses from women infected with COVID-19 and found SARS-CoV-2 in at least 32 fetal organs, including thymus, thyroid, and intestine.
The virus triggered immune imbalance and DNA damage.
“Fathers’ COVID & offspring
➡️ New research shows that paternal SARS-CoV-2 infection before conception can alter sperm RNA — leading to anxiety-like behavior & brain gene changes in offspring.
A biological ‘memory’ of infection may pass across generations. 1/“
Study finds no link between mRNA COVID vaccines early in pregnancy and birth defects.
A French study found no higher risk of 75 major birth defects across 13 organ systems from first-trimester mRNA COVID vaccination, indicating safety in early pregnancy.
“Cases of brain immaturity detected in children whose mothers suffered from COVID-19 during pregnancy.
A study reveals a 10% increase in neurological impairment in children who were gestated with COVID-19."
Prenatal SARS-COV-2 infection in pregnant women is linked to developmental delays in toddlers:
"At 6 months, 33.3% of infants exhibited cognitive delays, 20% communication delays, and 40% motor delays, increasing to 35.71%, 64.29%, and 57.14% at 24 months, respectively."
More on the recent Covid and increased autism study:
"When the Covid-exposed babies reached 28 months, the study found another concerning pattern: 23 of 211 children — almost 11% — screened positive for autism spectrum disorder (...) compared with an expected prevalence of 1-2% at that age (..)"
“Covid Pregnancies May Have Boosted Autism Risk, Study Shows
Around 11.6% of toddlers born to mothers with lab-confirmed SARS-CoV-2 infection during pregnancy showed cognitive, motor, or language problems indicative of neurodevelopmental delays…
…When the eldest of the Covid-exposed babies reached 28 months, the study found another concerning pattern: 23 of 211 children — almost 11% — screened positive for autism spectrum disorder.”
Study in Catania, Italy, analyzed cranial ultrasounds of 278 newborns, 139 exposed to SARS-CoV-2 during pregnancy.
Exposed newborns had higher rates of minor brain abnormalities (23% vs 16.5%).
“Conclusions
in our experience, the incidence of minor intracranial abnormalities was higher in SARS-COV-2-exposed newborns.”
“COVID study reveals virus-induced inflammation during pregnancy, redefines vertical transmission A protein made by SARS-CoV-2 can pass through the placenta and cause serious inflammatory immune responses in the fetus for 66% of pregnancies.”
“New research is shedding light on what happens when a person becomes sick with COVID-19 during pregnancy. Our study finds a protein from the virus can pass through the placenta and cause serious inflammation.”
Study at UC Davis on 10 infants born to COVID-19 positive mothers found fecal shedding of the virus in 4 infants, even with negative nasal swabs.
Fecal shedding was linked to changes in the gut microbiome.
