Experts stressed that there was no “plausible” link between the unusually high levels of mortality among newborns in September last year and March this year to justify investigating maternal vaccination status.

A year on, the cause of last September's abnormal spike in neonatal mortality remains a mystery. Experts have ruled out Covid vaccines and there seems to be no direct link with Covid infections. Staff shortages are considered one 'plausible' explanationexperts ruled out any link between spikes in neonatal deaths and the Covid vaccine without checking whether any of the infants' mothers had received the jag during pregnancy.

Furthermore “the outcomes of such analysis, whilst being uninformative for public health decision making, had the potential to be used to harm vaccine confidence at this critical time”. Nursing and midwifery vacancy rates in Lothian have climbed sharply since late 2020 and are the highest in Scotland

Alarm bells first sounded late last year when data showed that Scotland’s neonatal mortality rate had spiked to 4.9 per 1,000 live births in September. Spikes in Covid infections among pregnant women were consistent with trends in the general population, with surges in August/September and then January and March as Omicron spread

In fact, a wealth of surveillance data globally illustrates that the vaccines deliver an overall benefit. Data up to the end of April 2022 shows that the perinatal mortality rate for babies born to mothers who tested positive for Covid at any time during pregnancy was five per 1000 births, rising to 13.1 per 1000 where the infection occurred in the final 28 days before birth.This covers all births, including to mothers who were neither vaccinated nor tested positive for Covid at any point.

Boston Officials Report Elevated Virus Levels in WastewaterBoston Officials Report Elevated Virus Levels in WastewaterBoston health officials said Friday they’re concerned about elevated levels of the coronavirus in the city’s wastewater. The concentration of the virus increased by 3.1% over the past week and by nearly 100% over the past two weeks, according to the Boston Public Health Commission. New COVID-19 cases in Boston have decreased slightly over the past week, though the data does not include positive results from at-home tests, the commission said. Boston hospitals had 170 new COVID-19 hospital admissions. The public health commissioner says increases in COVID-19 related hospitalizations, combined with flu season, would cause “major strain” on Boston’s health care system.
