“We’re not gonna look, because we already know it’s totally safe based on all the international teams of scientists who didn’t look either. Now stop being racist.”
The reason why they won't look is because they already 'know' the answer. This is lazy, stupid or dishonest.
The have the large Scottish COPS studies* which says the vax is safe during pregnancy. The problem is their studies don't address the actual problem which is neo-natal mortality.
The studies they reference talk about miscarriages (first twenty weeks) and perinatal mortality. But not post birth.
In the miscarriage study:
Their raw miscarriage rate was 9.17% vaxxed, 10% non-vaxxed, 9.88% precovid historical controls).
The caveat to trusting this study is about half of the women were vaccinated prior to pregnancy, so you don't know what vaccination during pregnancy does. Also they only looked at the first 19 weeks of pregnancy. So later problems were not considered.
Amusingly that study shows the vax didn't protect against Covidduring pregnancy (6.05% vaxxed vs 5.22% of non vaxed women got covid)
It also showed that getting Covid during pregnancy did not increase risk of miscarriage.(6.7% of infected vs 6.4% uninfected vs 6.6% pre-covid historical controls had miscarriages)
Re: the peri-natal study, one of the brief things I will say is it showed the risk of ICU admission for Covid infection late in pregnancy with Omnicron was much lower than with Delta. Which is what you would expect as natural selection favors a less virulent subtype.

Early Pregnancy Outcomes following COVID-19 Vaccination and SARS-COV-2 Infection in Pregnant Women
October 2022: Research published in Nature Communications looks at potential links between COVID-19 vaccines, SARS-CoV-2 infections, and miscarriage or ectopic pregnancy.
