Yeah my SO had a very regular cycle before getting the vaccine (Pfizer). After the first shot it got totally out of whack. The doctors say they don't know why that is yet immediately follow up by saying "but the vaccine is completely safe". I'm no anti-vaxxer, but that trips my BS alert bigtime. All I hear is "duck and cover".

I’ve been too afraid to post this but you’ve inspired me. I (a male) have always been super horny ever since I hit puberty. I woke up nearly every morning with an erection as long as I can remember. I’ve never had problems with erections with my wife. I got the first Pfizer vaccine last year when it became available. The next time I was intimate with my wife, I lost my erection during sex - the first time it has ever…

Have you gone to see a doctor about it? There could be a change in your health that happened around the same time. Might be worth getting checked out.

Just anecdotally I can only speak for myself but I have stayed clear of vaccines for 29 years after the military used experimental vaccines on me and I never doubted or regretted my decision. I instead focus on keeping my innate and adaptive immune systems incredibly strong. This requires discipline and dedication to a strict diet and moderate exercise and is why I suspect that many people are opposed to this way of…

Just out of interest, how do you mean used experimental vaccines on you? Is this something you opted in to?

I had adverse reactions to their vaccines. When I inquired as the ingredients I was advised it was classified. I ran into the "It's classified" wall a few times.

Show me the clinical trial that shows a benefit for administration of a Booster, or even just two doses, providing a net benefit for a healthy young person, after accounting for hazards like Myocarditis, with an Omikron infection. It doesn't exist, nor does anyone "in charge" want it to exist, or so it appears. The FDA waved through a trial for children with a sample size of about 1000, almost guaranteeing that a rar…

If it is protecting older people against hospitalization then we can expect it to protect younger people from severe effects too. Unless you think the over 50s are some sort of frog vs the younger tadpole. Plenty more everywhere. So why would some of us be so vehemently anti-vax? 1) Belief in 'natural'.…

"If it is protecting older people against hospitalization then we can expect it to protect younger people from severe effects too."

The effects of COVID are so extraordinarily age skewed that this inference doesn't hold.

Well, now we're just getting May data and maybe June data. So that would be conceptions starting in August 2021. Here's a really lame screen capture of a visualization I just made with the CDC data. The August time frame is where we're passing 50% of the 25-39 year-olds getting vaccinated. So that would start to show up in the May 2022 birth data. https://pasteboard.co/uhkdWFvhCf9c.png edit: this showed up in my inbo…

This could just as easily be related to increased infections among young people at this time. You have no reason to pin this specifically on vaccination.

The timing is a very obvious reason to pin it on the vaccine because that's what was changing at that time. Omicron emerged later (end of 2021) and is much milder.

But yes, one way to answer that question definitively would be to do a cohort study on conception rates. Split the data by vaccine status. This can't be done because public health agencies systematically refuse to do this sort of study, nor do they expose the necessary raw data. They don't want anyone being able to answer these sorts of questions. Most data that is available has to be forced out via FOIA requests and the courts.

Sure once a year for flu shots with different strains. This is the exact same protein again and again. Nothing like this has been done before outside of allergy vaccines from what my allergist told me who is to say at the very least skeptical about it.

Why would it be the same protein used then, if that happened? The booster trials for delta and omicron compared the advantages of changing the protein to using the same shot, and used the same shot because it was observed to work well in trials. Also, again, the tetanus and rabies vaccines have regular boosters, with exactly the same formulation. So what is it they claim hasn’t been done before and why?

They didn't work well actually. Effectiveness against Omicron of boosters was zero. The regulators and pharma firms did however redefine "work" to mean the generation of antibodies (against the long extinct 2019 strain spike protein). This is illogical and puts the cart before the horse; we only care about antibodies to the extent they stop people getting sick.

The reason they had to do this is because the vaccines cause fixation. The body can't tell the different spikes apart, so injection with mRNA coding for Omicron spike leads the body to create (not very effective) antibodies against the original spike from the first round of vaccines. Immune memory seems to lack resolution, or possibly Omicron evolved specifically to confuse it in that way, but whatever the cause is, the body just says "a spike! i know what to do!" and doesn't learn from the new round of adjusted vaccines.

Unfortunately this type of so-called biomarker study is now becoming commonplace. They are confusing the means for the end.

You broke the site guidelines repeatedly in this thread. We ban accounts that do that, regardless of how right they are or how wrong other people are or you feel they are. Following the site guidelines is more important, because the survival of the entire forum depends on that. We've also had to warn you repeatedly about this in the past, so it doesn't have just to do with this topic. If you'd please review https://n…

Threatening to ban the person trying to counter vaccine misinformation because he called someone anti-vax. A+ moderation.

Wait until you discover the fact that not all women menstruate so these results aren't applicable to all the even narrowest minded views of what makes a woman. And yes, you may be surprised to learn that pregnant people are indeed classified differently than the general term "woman" because they have conditions and restrictions which only apply while carrying a fetus. That would be why you might react differently to the statements "The woman got drunk" and "The pregnant woman got drunk".

I think (at least) three big problems intersect here: 1. the sci/med establishment seems to have some ongoing ~bias issues that I don't fully understand when it comes to listening to and taking lay people seriously (especially women) 2. it's hard to do complex synthesis of relative risks and rewards across different studies measuring different things for different reasons 3. we've had a lot of uninformed and maliciou…

I have a lot of unvaccinated friends, some of whom have now had COVID. Their experience is not any different to those who were vaccinated. Bear in mind, Omicron emerged in 25% vaccinated South Africa and the reports from there were that it was so mild people didn't even realize they had COVID. The problem with your view about "uninformed and malicious actors" is that this is how public health describes anyone who poi…

Not sure how things things you project on my view about uninformed and malicious actors in our broad information ecosystem are a problem for my view.

Which numbers have been cooked? I remember outright lies coming out of the WHO and governments regarding the usefulness of masks (out of a fear of running out of stock for health professionals), and regular exaggerations of the benefit of vaccines coming from politicians (at least in France), where they were drawing a stark black and white picture of a much more nuanced reality. However, I don't remember seeing false…

Many examples here but “97% of hospital admissions are unvaccinated” was a complete fabrication. Basically they used statistics from when 97% of the population was unvaccinated and kept using them for months longer than they should have. When that wasn’t feasible anymore, they started counting unknown vaccination status as unvaccinated to keep the 97% lie going.

Ironically select ICUs report 90% of their cases are from fully vaccinated now.

There is no herd immunity in play with anyone vaccinated with COVID-19 mRNA vaccines. Please remove that from your vocabulary when referencing the vaccines for one reason: they do not provide immunity and never have. Hence there is not and will not be herd immunity from vaccinations alone. Please, spreading this nonsense does not help anyone. You are lying which makes you look bad (or if you think it’s actually true,…

How do you think vaccines don’t contribute to herd immunity?
