Research is hopefully ramping up further to understand why:

- With regard to the Covid *virus* , men are more likely than women to suffer the worst symptoms.

- With regard to Covid *vaccines* , women are more likely than men to suffer side effects.

- While the variable of pregnancy is being monitored. Little attention has been given on the impact the menstrual cycle as a whole plays in women's responses either to the virus or to the vaccines -- whether mRNA in approach, or viral vector. And what difference even that may make.

- Variables like use of contraceptive pills or other hormonal devices like IUD's also seem worth looking into. On their own, they tend to put women at higher risk for things like blood clots, etc...

I haven’t had a period all month. Well, I’m a guy, so there’s that.

About the vaccine, its true..my sister is fully vaccinated with pfizer, the first dose, no side effects, the 2nd dose, gave her fever, body aches like she was hit by a bus, tiredness, headache(She has auto immune issues) but my brother got his 2nd dose yesterday of pfizer, zero side effects, just a sore arm in the injection site
But I also think it varies by the age of the person. my Mom is 71, got the 2nd dose of pfizer 2 weeks ago tomorrow, other than a sore arm, no side effects

Of course it does. It’s a manufactured virus.

Consider this conspiracy theory:

An advanced bio weapons lab scientist finds a new way (mRNA) to alter a population's DNA via a highly contagious virus. The scientist believes that there are “bad genes” in the human population and wants to eliminate a whole segment of the population. The plan is to release a highly contagious but not very lethal virus that forces a great majority of the population to get a vaccine.

But the scientist does not release the actual DNA of the virus for others to develop the vaccine. Instead, the release code is designed to create viruses that are future enablers of other illnesses. A couple of “mutations” cause the population to accept these new mRNA vaccines.

This sets up several possibilities that include release of a new virus that reduces reproduction rates, or causes cancers to be more prevalent. It would take some time for the corelation to work its way back to the virus, but by then, it would be too late

P I N G :

“Estrogen is a hormone that has multiple effects on the body,” said Alison Stopeck, MD, co-investigator of a clinical trial that is treating COVID-19 patients with estrogen at Stony Brook University in New York. Not only does the hormone activate antibody production, she said, but it also prevents the hyper-cytokine release that causes an excessive inflammatory response.”

“ The anti-inflammatory properties of female sex hormones have driven scientists to investigate how estrogen and progesterone may improve the immune response in men and postmenopausal women. Clinical trials have emerged in New York and California to evaluate how increased hormone levels may impact populations other than non-menopausal women.”

“ Researchers from Cedars-Sinai in Los Angeles are exploring another route: injecting male patients with progesterone. Sara Ghandehari, MD, the principal investigator of the California-based trial, said that the use of progesterone targets various immune cells to “dampen this inflammatory cascade.”

“While preliminary evidence shows that female sex hormones may provide some protection against the inflammatory effects of COVID-19, Nimaroff emphasized that multiple factors are at play.”
