Would you really want your baby to be delivered by anti-vaxxers?
I hope you are ok with midwifes, then.
I would want a professional with plenty of experience. Midwife or not. Thats my only criteria.

#12What sort of monsters would willingly subject newborns to any additional risk of Covid?
A healthcare professional who may already have antibodies from prior infection, and who therefore does not need a vaccine, perhaps.
So, somebody who has little to no understanding of COVID, its ability to reinfect, the higher contagiousness of Delta variant, and thinks their Facebook feed has better scientific knowledge than experts in the field? Got it.

#17It's not that surprising - this hospital is in a rural area in a tiny town (~3500 residents.) Rural folks are more likely to be anti-vax.
This really isn't newsworthy.

> Who cares?
Sometimes people do not have a choice and people are very limited in ways they can convince a baby to come out later rather than sooner.
