Subject: Official Information request - Informed Consent #25 - Miscarriage
and stillbirth rates in rat study

 

Dear Andrew Little,

 

In Medsafe’s data sheet for Pfizer’s vaccine it mentions the below under:

 

4.6 Fertility, pregnancy and lactation

 

Fertility

 

“In a combined fertility and developmental toxicity study, female rats
were intramuscularly administered COMIRNATY prior to mating and during
gestation (4 full human doses of 30 μg each, spanning between pre-mating
day 21 and gestation day 20). SARS-CoV-2 neutralising antibodies were
present in maternal animals from prior to mating to the end of the study
on postnatal day 21 as well as in fetuses and offspring. There were no
vaccine related effects on female fertility and pregnancy rate.”

 

Pregnancy

 

“Animal studies do not indicate direct or indirect harmful effects with
respect to pregnancy, embryo/fetal development, parturition or post-natal
development.”

 

[11]https://www.medsafe.govt.nz/profs/Datash...

 

Question please:

 

What were the miscarriage and stillbirth rates among the rats that were
studied? 

 

Yours faithfully,

 

Annie Weston
