> I can't quickly find the appropriate data, but would imagine it's worth looking at the pre-Covid19 risk of dying in pregnancy vs dying as a result of Covid19 for an otherwise healthy woman in her 30s.

1. Dying in pregnancy WITH COVID19 because you can't breath seems like a higher-risk situation.

2. Reducing oxygen levels is likely bad for the baby.

> Joking aside, are we really seeing a data-driven approach to dealing with Covid19?

We can't afford a data-driven approach. It takes months to answer questions with a study. We still don't technically know if vaccines prevent the spread of COVID19 for instance (even though its widely assumed).

I don't see any evidence that contradicts the assumed vaccine protection (vaccines protect us from other diseases). So why not assume until data proves otherwise?
