The claim that raw data revealed an 82% miscarriage rate in first-trimester vaccinated women is contradicted by multiple tier1 fact-checkers. The 82% figure came from recalculating the CDC v-safe study with an invalid denominator that excluded the many women whose pregnancies were still ongoing, and the study itself reported a 12.6% rate.
What was said
… Quote, the authors claimed a miscarriage rate of 12.6%. That alone should be enough to not give this, this jab to pregnant women. However, the raw data revealed an 82% miscarriage rate in women vaccinated during the first trimester. This is consistent with 81% miscarriage rate noted in the Pfizer 5.3.6 post-market data. These figures mirror the effects of chemical abortion drugs such as RU 486. Remember, thank you, Kiphan, I got it. …

Contradicts. FactCheck.org states the 82% miscarriage claim is a false figure based on an incorrect calculation from vaccine safety monitoring data, and that studies show no connection between COVID-19 vaccination in pregnancy and increased miscarriage risk.[1]
Contradicts. PolitiFact reports the 2021 New England Journal of Medicine study found 104 miscarriages out of 827 completed pregnancies (12.6%), and that the 82% figure emerged from a misreading of a small subgroup, with the follow-up acknowledging the denominator problem.[2]
Contradicts. Snopes calls the 82% statistic a gross misrepresentation of the April 2021 CDC study data and says the figure comes from a misinterpretation rather than any actual finding.[3]
Contradicts. Lead Stories and the Washington Examiner explain that the 82% figure excludes the roughly 700 third-trimester-vaccinated women from the denominator, dividing by only 127 and producing an invalid rate; the authors did not find an additional miscarriage risk.[4][5][6]
Context. Sources note the 'raw data' framing is the same 2021 CDC v-safe dataset, which the study authors said could not calculate miscarriage risk for early-exposure women, so no study actually reported an 82% rate.[4][7]
