Re: COVID vaccines may briefly change menstruation, but you should still get one
#2This is the sort of finding that would normally come out of a stage 3 clinical trial. It's going to be interesting to look back at the effects of these vaccines over the coming years. It's unfortunate that the regulatory trials lost their control groups so early, but it seems unlikely at this point that the control group on a population scale is going to be eliminated.
Re: COVID vaccines may briefly change menstruation, but you should still get one
#3I have a friend who had a very mild case of COVID and was later vaccinated with AZ. She reported a transient change in her menstruation (timing and heavy flows) after both.
It's interesting that reports of menstrual changes after vaccination were widely dismissed initially. Now they're being acknowledged, but even though we don't know the mechanisms by which they're happening and why they happen in some people but not others, the "experts" are telling us that there's nothing to worry about.
Sadly, this default behavior of dismissing anything that anyone suggests might be related to vaccination and stating with confidence that any side effects related to them are harmless (even when we don't understand those side effects) has only hurt confidence in the vaccines and the process by which they were approved, and reduced trust in the experts who are supposed to be acting with scientific and medical integrity.

Hm, not sure. This is a kind of side effect you wouldn't expect and would easily overlook. A proper, very long Stage 3 trial could definitely miss it. Generally women's health issues are often overlooked, especially one that is quite mild. That's why we have Phase 4 trials, amongst other things.
This one is especially difficult to pin down because it's a one off. It's not at all evident that longer phase 3 trials would have caught an event that happens at most a month after vaccination.

#5The way this piece is written gives me the sense that this is a benign phenomenon, yet they still don’t understand the mechanism - is that not contradictory? If they don’t know why it happens, then surely they can’t make pronouncements as to its temporariness?

#6- Safe and effective!
- Maybe a problem, but rare. Still get one.
- More common than we originally thought.
We can guess what happens next.
Covid has very little impact on young healthy people, the vaccine appears to make transmission worse, why are we hell bent on forcing it onto everyone and not just the risk groups?
It was designed around a strain of the virus from two years ago. Would you accept a flu jab for the version from two years ago? Why accept these rushed shots with no long term data available?

It seems deliberate that they are trying to destroy the control group.

We know it's temporary observationally. It doesn't happen again according to the data, and no other symptom was found.
There are so many things in the human body we don't understand yet. It doesn't mean it's serious.

#9Remember when talking about menstrual irregularities post-vaccine got you banned from the internet? I do.

Woah there, anti-vaxxer. Are you questioning the science? Are you looking to be deplatformed? Tread lightly, you're gonna trigger some people with a post like that.
