Like I said in another comment, I think this study had some design problems. They need to do a cohort study, where they follow women who get the jab at different points through their pregnancy through their entire pregnancy.
Instead, they pulled data mostly from women who got it in the third trimester, which by definition, can’t give you any information on miscarriage rates. But at the same time, they pulled data on “completed” pregnancies only, so that over selected first and second trimester jabbed women whose pregnancies ended (in miscarriage) within the study’s timeframe.
It basically tells us nothing about the real miscarriage rate.
And yes, men should be included as well.
