On Nov 26, 2022, America Out Loud featured Dr. McCullough “and previous guest Dr. Raphael Stricker published six months into the vaccine program a warning that the COVID-19 vaccine should be considered pregnancy category X. This designation should have been assigned by the vaccine manufacturers and agreed to by the FDA and properly placed on all vaccine program documents. All drugs have a pregnancy category designation giving mothers and doctors guidance on what is known and how safe products are during pregnancy.
- Category A: The possibility of fetal harm appears remote. Extremely few drugs exist in this category (e.g., multiple vitamins).
- Category B: If there is a clinical need for a drug in this category, they are considered safe to use. Examples: acetaminophen, amoxicillin.
- Category C: These drugs should be given only if the potential benefit justifies the potential risk to the fetus. Examples: fluoroquinolones, gentamicin, saccharin, aspirin.
- Category D: There is positive evidence of human fetal risk, but the benefits from use in pregnant women may be acceptable despite the risk. They should only be used in pregnancy when the alternatives are worse. Examples: tetracyclines, ACE inhibitors, most antineoplastics.
- Category X: The risk of use of the drug in pregnant women clearly outweighs any possible benefit. The drug is contraindicated in women who are or may become pregnant. Examples: thalidomide, oral contraceptives, statins (e.g., Lipitor ®).”
They close with “Dr. Kimberly Biss, a practicing OB/GYN from Florida who was Chief of Staff at her hospital.1 She tells the story from her point of view of what took place at her labor and delivery department and among her pregnant patients. All the way from acute COVID-19 respiratory illness, treatment, complications, and COVID-19 vaccination”.
