Mothers passed COVID to babies through placenta, possibly causing brain damage, death
Fox News
Two mothers who gave birth in Miami, Florida, passed along the COVID-19 infection to their newborns through the placenta, potentially causing brain damage and death.
Although both babies tested negative for the COVID-19 virus at birth, they experienced "seizures, small head sizes and developmental delays," the press release said. This was the first study to detect COVID crossing the placenta into a baby’s brain. "We don't want parents to panic." Researchers recommend that pregnant women get the COVID vaccine.
One of the babies died suddenly at 13 months old.
