> The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention has been urging people to get coronavirus shots before or during pregnancy, seeking to dispel fear — widespread in some communities, without scientific basis — that those vaccinations could be harmful. Seems a bit non-sequitur? "We're pushing this on pregnant women to prove how safe it is?" I mean, they obviously can't recommend it on the basis of preventing infection, but this phrasing makes it sound as if the "PR benefits" are more important than any protection afforded this particular class of vaccine recipients, doesn't it?
