That's a myth, though. https://www.hopkinsmedicine.org/health/conditions-and-diseas...
There is no way that we could know whether that's a myth simply because the vaccines have not existed long enough to know for sure.

How many colds have you had?
Cold only very rarely kills babies. If we're going to do analogies then let's go all the way. Here on HN there was an article about how people who got through Covid were much more resistant to catching it again, compared to those who got a vaccine. It's almost as if their immune systems actually work! I despair for the people who got surprised by this, as if our immune systems became a thing only during the last 2 ye…

3. I agree: mandatory (including coerced) vaccinations are hideously immoral.

By that logic, we could also argue—with the same degree of certainty—that the virus itself causes fertility issues, and therefore the vaccine prevents them.
Side story: In the school district where I work all employees are now required to be vaccinated or take a weekly test.

The day before we were to begin testing the state informed us we are not allowed to test on our own premises. Employees must schedule their own covid test on their own time. It also…
