Why do some folks think that COVID vaccines have caused maternal death rates to soar?

[link removed] Misinformation about maternal mortality rates and COVID vaccines is being laundered through all of the major anti-vaccine sites.

The usual suspects...

Have COVID Vaccines Caused Maternal Mortality Rates to Soar?

Tragically, maternal mortality rates have been increasing.

> "The maternal mortality rate for 2021 was 32.9 deaths per 100,000 live births, compared with a rate of 23.8 in 2020 and 20.1 in 2019."

And the connection with COVID vaccines?

[link removed] Note how the increase in maternal mortality rates began before the pandemic and before we had COVID vaccines.

Besides the fact that some of these moms got vaccinated and protected against COVID in 2021, there isn't a connection.

[link removed] Black women had the lowest rates of COVID vaccination among pregnant women, less than 8%, so how would that translate into the highest maternal mortality rates?

It is especially important to note that the biggest rise in maternal mortality was found in non-hispanic black mothers, a group who was the least likely to get a COVID vaccine.

> "Black women are three times likelier than white women to die from a pregnancy-related cause. Health care access problems, underlying chronic conditions, and structural racism and implicit bias all contribute to these bleak statistics."

So it should be obvious that it isn't caused by COVID vaccines.

It certainly is something that should be fixed, but that isn't going to happen if we are blaming the rise in maternal deaths on COVID vaccines and scaring pregnant mothers away from getting vaccinated and protected!
