Researchers at the University of Miami reported on Thursday what they believe are the first two confirmed cases in which the SARS-CoV-2 virus crossed a mother's placenta and caused brain damage in the infants they were carrying.

Doctors previously had suspected this was possible, but until now, there was no direct evidence of COVID-19 in a mother's placenta or an infant's brain, the team told reporters at a news briefing.

"This is the first time that we've been able to demonstrate the virus in a fetal organ with transplacental passage," Dr. Michael Paidas, chair of obstetrics and gynecology at the University of Miami, told the briefing. "That's why we think this is so important." Neither of the infants tested positive for the SARS-CoV-2 virus, but they did have high levels of COVID antibodies in their blood, Dr. Merline Benny, a neonatologist and assistant professor of pediatrics at the University of Miami, told the briefing. She said that suggests the virus crossed from the mother, through the placenta and to the baby.

Dr. Shahnaz Duara, an obstetrician and gynecologist at the University of Miami, said she believed the cases were rare, but urged women who had been infected during their pregnancies to inform their children's pediatricians to check for developmental delays.

No reports on vax injuries huh?

You mean Dr Fauci and Bill Gates cause this,

More nonsense bullshit news from the revised smith-mundt act urinalists who only do what their bolshevik masters say.

Are we telling the truth Reuters? Or are we still selling poisons? Come on now, you can tell us..

2? out of how many infected during pregnancy? sounds very circumstantial. what are the stats for that condition pre covid? compared to post covid?

China created Carnage for the planet

Right! Had covid in my second trimester, not vaccinated, infant is fine. Stop schilling for Big Pharma. Don’t get the vaccine ladies!

Why you are not talking about the attack that happening now on GAZA❓❓ just another hypocritical media platform❗❗

Bollocks

The vaccine does NOT protect you. It’s a big lie.

It definitely caused brain damage in you covid fanatics. Good god man.

Makes sense. Now do the vaccine.

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

BS !!!

If the cases happened on vaxxed patients, it could also be because of the vax side-effect. Don’t be “shy” on this, say it out and hold Xj Jinping accountable for all these‼️ CCP and its military scientists worked with Xi Jinping to spread the virus to the world‼️

COVID Vaccine you mean…

This is a misleading headline whereby there is no actual proof or connection. And really…2 babies?!?!?! 1st time ever that any “scientific” evidence was based on 2 possible cases out of 8 billion human beings. What other health issues did the mothers face? Were they on drugs?etc

La misma esfera de la malaria 😊

Could it be the tip of the iceberg?

China must be made to pay.

That's the jabs

The babies were born to young mothers who tested positive for the virus during their second trimester at the height of the pandemic's Delta wave in 2020, before vaccines were available.
