20% of pregnancies end in miscarriage.
There may be something to this, but you need to show context. Anti-VAXers almost never do. I’m not even saying you’re wrong, I don’t vaccinate either, but please provide context.
The frequency with which people ignore or omit statistical context actually makes them look like they are lying or stupid.
There was a big study some people passed around a number of years ago showing the miscarriage numbers and anti-vaxxers wouldn’t shut up about it until they saw that the percentage of miscarriages in that study was lower than the national average.
I don’t take vaccines either. I don’t think they are worth the risk. But I don’t make shit up, either.
Every day I see people warning others not to take vaccines, but they themselves don’t know how the vaccines work, how they work on the body, how the body itself works with or without the vaccine, they say things that are atrociously stupid and ignorant and people who can be convinced see this shit and decide that anti-vaxxers are all crazy.
For the love of God please be smarter about this. There is real risk to these vaccines that people need to know about, but idiots make it easy to tune that information out.
"20% of pregnancies end in miscarriage."
I'm sure there is an explanation, but that number appears to be for older women in the 35 to 45 year old group. (medicalnewstoday.com). One study in Denmark, which included 1,221,546 pregnancies between 1978 and 1992, found the overall miscarriage rate was 13.5 percent (sciencealert.com). To credit your number you provided, the UCSB in previous research found that there was somewhere between 10 and 20 percent (sciencealert.com)number.
From what you posted, it appears miscarriage numbers are really high. I wonder what the history shows? Rural versus City. Ethnicity, nation, etc.
