I was under the impression that this is common knowledge. Most pregnant women I've known did, indeed, forego alcohol during their pregnancy.

I think everyone in this thread has left too much of their argument tacit and the meaning has been lost. I read it as:

1. Why do many people say no?

2. Well it isn’t recommended for the pregnant [therefore either a large proportion of hn is pregnant or the vaccine is generally bad]

3. [not many people on hn are pregnant so] do you also refuse alcohol because that is bad for the pregnant?

4. [I think you’re suggesting that pregnant people often drink alcohol so I put it to you that] in my experience pregnant people don’t drink alcohol.

5. This comment

My point was that "unsafe for pregnant women" does not imply "unsafe for not-pregnant or unsafe for not-women".
