The CDC released new guidance for pregnant women this week, urging them to get vaccinated for COVID-19. According to the agency, the risks of a COVID-19 infection for an expectant mother or unborn child far outweigh the risks of the vaccine.

Aimee Parker Brito, a former Auburndale firefighter-turned-local celebrity in St. Augustine, is nearly 27 weeks pregnant and she found out first-hand how devastating the virus can be for a pregnant woman.

Brito, who goes by "Lady Red McGill" in her pirate krewe in the St. Augustine area, said, even as her oxygen level dropped, some doctors were initially hesitant to admit her into the ICU and directly treat the virus. When she was finally admitted into an ICU, Brito made a difficult decision, refusing to be intubated. She feels fortunate she didn't have to deliver the baby pre-term.

maybe it's me but I am sure her age and health prior to her being pregnant played a huge role in this 🤔🙄

Probably just had the common cold. Since the PCR test can't tell the difference there is no way of knowing what she had.
