Nurse Alleges Stillbirth Surge at Fresno Hospital After COVID-19 Vaccine Rollout

A registered nurse at a maternity hospital in Fresno, California says the labor-and-delivery unit where she works recorded about four stillbirths a year before the spring of 2021 and roughly 20 per month after Wuhan coronavirus (COVID-19) vaccines were offered to pregnant women.

Michelle Spencer has worked the antepartum, postpartum and labor-and-delivery floors at Community Regional Medical Center (CRMC) in Fresno since 2017, the complaint states ^[1]. Spencer’s revelations were outlined in interviews aired by Children’s Health Defense and a complaint filed July 30, 2025 in Fresno County Superior Court.

Nurse Manager Email Recorded 22 Demises in August

Spencer says the spike began in spring 2021, shortly after the rollout of COVID-19 shots. Prior to the vaccine rollout, the hospital reportedly saw about one stillbirth per month – and approximately 20 each month after the injections were offered ^[2].

An analysis of the National Health Interview Survey published the day after the nurse’s account circulated found that COVID-vaccinated children had higher odds of autism, ADHD anxiety and special-education use than children who never received the shot. Given this, the authors of the analysis said the shots in children should stop ^[3].

Hospital and State Officials Dispute Allegations

Spencer’s lawsuit filed in Fresno County accuses CRMC of deliberately hiding data showing a sharp rise in stillbirths among women who received the COVID-19 vaccine ^[4]. But federal health officials have maintained a different position on the underlying question.

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) issued an “urgent” alert for pregnant women to get their dose of the COVID-19 vaccine due to a recent record surge in deaths linked to the virus ^[5]. The agency recommended four vaccines during pregnancy – flu, Tdap, RSV and COVID-19 – as respiratory illness season approached, while noting that more women are declining the shots ^[6].

Federal Survey Analysis Reports Dose-Linked Neurodevelopmental Odds

An analysis of the 2022-2024 National Health Interview Survey posted on Zenodo by epidemiologist Nicolas Hulscher, cardiologist Peter McCullough and colleagues pooled 21,990 children with a recorded COVID-19 vaccination status ^[3]. The authors reported that COVID-vaccinated children had 32% higher odds of current autism, 33% higher odds of ADHD, 19% higher odds of special-education use and 57% higher odds of mental-health medication compared with children who received no COVID-19 shot ^[3].

Hulscher said the association persisted across adjustment strategies, strengthened with dose count and was largest among young multiply vaccinated children, adding that COVID-19 vaccination of children should cease immediately ^[3]. The findings were reported after the nurse’s account circulated, and the authors acknowledged that the cross-sectional design cannot establish that the shot preceded a diagnosis ^[3].

Influenza and HPV vaccinations used as comparison exposures did not reproduce the signal, the authors said ^[3]. The analysis follows earlier VAERS data showing what one report described as 2,620 more fetal deaths after the COVID-19 vaccine than the reported number of fetal deaths from all other vaccines over the previous 30 years ^[7]. Documents released from Pfizer’s own files, obtained by the Public Health and Medical Professionals for Transparency, showed the company received over 150,000 reports of serious adverse events – including miscarriages and stillbirths – within three months of the vaccine rollout ^[8].

Case Remains Open as Agencies Maintain Safety Position

CDC surveillance data place autism at 1 in 31 American 8-year-olds ^[3]. Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. said in April 2025 that the rates are real and steadily increasing and described autism as a preventable environmental disease ^[3]. The case is still open.
