A 28-yo #pregnant #woman set to give birth as early as next week is speaking out about being detained by #immigration authorities in #California, even after telling agents she was a #UScitizen.

Cary López Alvarado lost her balance as agents "shoved her" during her arrest over the weekend, she tearfully told NBC #LosAngeles from a #hospital bed. “That’s when I kind of leaned forward, trying to protect the stomach.”

Continued thread

However, the picture is less certain now for #pregnant #women, a group the #CDC had considered to be at high risk for a bad outcome from the #COVID #virus. The official CDC position for pregnant women is “no guidance,” acc/to a communication released from the agency Friday. #RFKJr’s pronouncement on Tues had included a decision to drop the recommendation for pregnant women to receive Covid #vaccines.

*#Health* Secy #RFKJr on Tues announced that #COVID-19 #vaccines are now not recommended for healthy #children & #pregnant #women.

In a 58-sec video—you guessed it—posted to #WhiteSupremacy social media, RFKJr said he removed #COVID19 shots from #CDC’s recommendations for those groups. No one from the CDC was in the video, & CDC ofcls referred questions to Kennedy & the #HHS.
