Yes, this is why I’m curious whether the MRNA interacts badly with pregnancy, since pregnancy involves a poorly understood modulation of the immune system (so it doesn’t attack the fetus)

The data on pregnancy shows no impact. In fact if I remember correctly there were fewer incidents than the placebo group. So maybe it helps reduce pregnancy related issues??

For a statement written with such apparent certainty, a link to a study (or any similar substantiation) would be pretty useful

There are multiple studies:

And from Pfizer and Moderna's research: https://www.latimes.com/science/story/2021-01-27/covid-19-va...

There is now a large trial of pregnant women getting the vaccinces. So far no evidence to suggest it is problematic.

Hmm, the first trial is just 103 women, the second one is 84. Wow wait, the Pfizer one was _12_ women and Moderna was 13. I'd be more convinced when a more comprehensive trial with thousands of participants is done. Still, thanks for the links!
