I am a Biden voter that never got covid vaccinated, but still might at a later date. I didn't avoid getting covid vaccinated because I am evil, a tinfoil hat wearer, or anti-science.
When the vaccine first became available my doctor, and I trust her, advised me not to get it saying that at the time:
(1) We don't know the effects on a fetus, and I was pregnant
(2) I was young, 19 (now 20), which means Covid is less likely to cause me severe problems
(3) I am very fit, which means Covid is less likely to cause me severe problems
(4) I eat extremely healthily, which means Covid is less likely to cause me severe problems
(5) I have no known comorbidities, which means Covid is less likely to cause me severe problems
(6) I didn't have a job and so didn't come into close contact with many people outside of my husband, I am fairly isolated and wear a mask and distance when shopping
Then after I gave birth I didn't rush to get it but then I got pregnant again. My doctor, she now says that I "probably" could get it and it "likely" is safe for a fetus, if I wanted it I should, but that it isn't a pressing need according to her. So I am still waiting to get it since I am pregnant again. She also told me that if I get the vaccine:
(A) I can still catch it
(B) I can still spread it
(C) Also, I have an anxiety disorder where I will severely worry over possible side effects. Stress isn't good for a baby in the belly. So I don't want to push it.
Once I am done with #2 in my belly, I will consider getting it in the future. But I am not evil, or a tin foil hat wearer. I just want to keep my babies as safe as possible.

Women who are pregnant or were recently pregnant are at increased risk of severe illness with COVID-19. Severe illness means that you might need to be hospitalized, have intensive care or be placed on a ventilator to help with breathing. Pregnant women with COVID-19 are also more likely to deliver a baby before the start of the 37th week of pregnancy (premature birth). Pregnant women with COVID-19 might also be at increased risk of problems such as stillbirth and pregnancy loss.
It almost sounds like you are trying to convince yourself to get the covid treatment. Before you do that, read the statistics concerning the effectiveness of the covid treatment and the reports of negative side effects. At this point there is absolutely no good reason to take the treatment. What little effectiveness it had, if any, is gone since we've moved about four variants past what that treatment was designed to fight.
There's no way I'd inject myself with something that has no long-term data to back it up, especially if I was carrying an innocent little human inside of me. You must think of health of the child, too!

Sounds reasonable to me. I wouldn't get it if I were you.

Thank you for the quality response. My doctor said that this risk was very low that bigger risks were things like old age, being overweight, and immune issues. At the initial time a year ago, she said the unknown risks of it on a baby in the belly outweighed the tiny risk to me. She seems has mostly backed off on that last part though.

No, just explaining why to people, since I get judged a lot when people ask me if I have been vaccinated. I might get it.....AFTER I give birth though, but not before then.

Who are these people who are asking you if you've been vaccinated?
Why people feel the need to inquire about someone's personal medical decisions is beyond me ...

I believe social media, maybe her social group. I’ve actually had someone explained to me why she was vaccinated like I was going to judge her, of course I wouldn’t and don’t and it makes me sad that some people both unvaccinated and vaccinated feel like they are going to be condemned for their choice.
