Link between menstrual changes after COVID-19 vaccination is plausible and should be investigated
Medical XPress / British Medical Journal / ^ | Sept. 16, 2021 | Dr. Victoria Male, et al

Some women say their periods change after getting a COVID-19 vaccination. In The BMJ today, Dr. Victoria Male, a reproductive specialist at Imperial College London, says a link between menstrual changes after COVID-19 vaccination is plausible and should be investigated.

Changes to periods or unexpected vaginal bleeding are not listed as common side effects of COVID-19 vaccination, she writes. Yet more than 30,000 such reports had been made to the UK Medicines and Healthcare Products Regulatory Agency (MHRA) surveillance scheme for adverse drug reactions by 2 September.

The MHRA states that its surveillance data does not support a link between changes to menstrual periods and COVID-19 vaccines, since the number of reports is low in relation to both the number of people vaccinated and the prevalence of menstrual disorders generally.

However, the way in which data is collected makes firm conclusions difficult, says Male.

She argues that approaches better equipped to compare rates of menstrual changes in vaccinated versus unvaccinated populations are needed, and points out that the US National Institutes of Health (NIH) has made $1.67 million available to encourage this important research.

Reports of menstrual changes after COVID-19 vaccination have been made for both mRNA and adenovirus-vectored vaccines, she adds, suggesting that, if there is a connection, it is likely to be a result of the immune response to vaccination, rather than to a specific vaccine component.

Indeed, the menstrual cycle may be affected by the body's immune response to the virus itself, with one study showing menstrual disruption in around a quarter of women infected with SARS-CoV2.

Doctors agree the method to collect these vaccine claims is poor, but that 1/4 of COVID-19 infected people also get such issues.

The vast majority of women likely under 50 (premenopausal) — woman with a 99.98% survival rate of SARS infection — add the untested to that percent to get 99.99% or better.

I didn't know there was a list of common side effects of COVID-19. Where can that list be found?

In the scores upon scores of commercials I’ve heard touting the ‘vax” I’ve never once heard a word uttered about possible side effects. The only treatment of which that is true is the one NOT tested or cleared.

Yep, all they say is "Get the vax". They won't tell you under what conditions you probably shouldn't take it, nor will they mention what might go wrong if you do.

If you don’t take the vax you’ll die, or even worse, you’ll live and you’ll be Q Anon!

Parasite v virus
I was suspecting that myself and in fact hinted at the possibility sèveral posts ago by mentioning that the most effective treatments are in fact, antiparacitics.
