The CDC seems convinced of it?

> Studies with hundreds of thousands of people around the world show that COVID-19 vaccination before and during pregnancy is safe, effective, and beneficial to both the pregnant woman and the baby, according to the CDC's website.

I was more interested in healthy children, but, that's the case for pregnant women? What exactly is the quantified benefit to babies, and how was it measured?

If you're genuinely interested, https://www.cdc.gov/covid/vaccines/pregnant-or-breastfeeding... cites plenty of specific studies.

For example:

https://www.nature.com/articles/s41467-022-30052-w

> The risk of stillbirth was significantly lower in the vaccinated cohort by 15% (pooled OR 0·85; 95% CI 0·73–0·99, 66,067 vaccinated vs. 424,624 unvaccinated, I2 = 93·9%).
