God. This fucking dog and pony show has gone off long fucking enough. I can't go visit my elderly alzheimers mother in the nursing home. I wasn't able to go say bye one last time to my grandma last month because cOvId. She was like 2 hours from death and youre worried about her getting covid? fucking brain dead twats. This entire thing is about destroying family and family owned buisness. God. There's some people I would LOVE to play mine craft with but they're fortunate I'm focused on building a family right now

Yeah we know shills pushing all sorts of bs infest this and other message boards here and everywhere else .. we are gonna say you are one of them, that you do not have a wife nor is she preggers that you are beating the ultrasound drum on behalf of genocidal interests who want autism and birth defect levels to increase among the target - white - population.

My wife's pregnant, and I've also looked into this. I think you're overstating the danger, but I agree it's not totally safe like people act.
The synopsis of the papers I read is that.
There aren't many studies on the long term effects of ultrasounds.
Many of the ones that were done took place 2 decades ago, and ultrasounds have increased in power by a factor of 10 since then.
Studies have shown small correlations to negative outcomes from ultrasounds. They haven't found anything shocking that I'm aware of, but they didn't find nothing. Interestingly, among other things there was a statistically significant increase in left-handedness in those receiving ultrasounds.
Ultrasound does have well understood mechanisms of damage. It can be used intentionally to destroy tumors in fact. As a result the FDA requires ultrasound machines to display risk indexes for localized heating, and cavitation damage (the two known mechanisms). Alarmingly, a survey of ultrasound techs showed less than 50% understood what these numbers mean...
Based on what I read, we've turned down any ultrasounds that are "optional". And I've told my wife not to use the heartbeat doppler her sister gave her.
I read the link you posted, and I think maybe I need to do more research.
Here's the best paper I found:
