We know now that Claire wasn't sick from her pregnancy though, she was sick from the implant the Others put in her (remember when Ben said they activated the implant in the flashback at the end of the episode).
So then the island's healing properties causing the immune system to turn on pregnant women must only apply to those who get pregnant on the island. But then that doesn't explain why they kidnapped Claire if she didn't actually need the vaccine. Which in turn doesn't explain why they were injecting her initially, since Rousseau gave birth on the island without suffering consequences.
And now (I've arrived somewhere with my rambling) can we assume that the Others know nothing happens to women who get pregnant off the island, since they know Rousseau isn't dead (or do they)? If they know she isn't dead, then they know that they don't need to protect Claire from anything. Maybe that's why Juliette said that Sayid would kill her if he knew what she had done. Maybe they were just using Claire as a dummy...
Now I'm more confused.
