#Covid-19 menstrual irregularities

[darkmaga-returns]

There will be much more to this story as it unfolds but the Informed Consent Action Network (ICAN) has finally obtained the VAERS safety information produced by the FDA themselves.

During the pandemic, FDA conducted analyses of COVID-19 vaccine adverse events and tried to hide the results from the public. After two years of FOIA requests and lawsuits, FDA finally produced a portion of its “Empirical Bayesian (EB) data mining” reports. This type of analysis was designed to detect COVID-19 vaccine safety signals using VAERS reports. The data should be very revealing as far as what issues FDA was seeing during the vaccine rollout—especially given the agency has kept this data secret for years. This is the first time this critical data has been released to the public. An initial review of the records produced has revealed a long list of adverse events that far surpassed FDA’s “standard alert threshold”—meaning, there is (or should have been) great concern on the part of federal health authorities who were privy to this data. As just one example, ICAN discovered that “heavy menstrual bleeding” and “menstruation irregular” began showing up on the reports as early as April 2021!

I have only done a cursory review of the reported signals but what immediately caught my attention is that by 4th March, 2022, by their own metrics, all three US “vaccines” appear to be signalling serious adverse events, including

death (Janssen)

exposure via breast milk (Moderna, Pfizer)

suspected COVID-19 (Janssen); and

ineffectiveness (Pfizer).

If a product is ineffective, surely everything else is moot?! If that “ineffective” product is fatal in some cases, well…

No wonder they tried so shared to stop it being “shared more broadly”?

This is an old article, but there’s a phrase here that just made me laugh:

Now, what they mean is “you probably won’t die from having an irregular cycle” - and we could go into the complications, including cancers, that are related to the reproductive system and that could be influenced by something that is impacting the menstrual cycle, but more importantly here…

The menstrual cycle - or rather, a woman’s fertility cycle - is integral and essential to the process of new human life being created.

It’s literally an issue of human life.

Stop letting doctors lie to you and tell you that your reproductive system is unimportant, irrelevant, or just a burden. It is a part of you, and a competent doctor will recognize that a healthy reproductive system is part of your overall health as a person.

Mod 5: Disinformation, Misinformation and Mal-information. 

MISINFORMATION:

The Natural News blog post on COVID vaccine shedding aligns with misinformation as defined in Module 5. It lacks scientific verification, citing no peer-reviewed studies or expert sources. The sensationalist language promotes fear-mongering, reinforcing confirmation bias. It thrives in echo chambers, where social media algorithms amplify misleading content. Without counterarguments or balanced perspectives, it fails journalistic and scientific standards. To counter misinformation, the module emphasizes fact-checking, source verification, and awareness of filter bubbles that reinforce misleading narratives. Readers should critically assess sources and seek expert-backed information from credible health organizations like the WHO or CDC.

DISINFORMATION:

The article titled "Anti-Americanism at Best, Dual Nationalism at Worst. America in 2024" from Intelligencer exemplifies disinformation. It presents a misleading narrative by suggesting that U.S. border security is compromised due to foreign aid allocations, without providing credible evidence or context. The piece employs emotionally charged language to evoke fear and distrust, lacks citations from reputable sources, and omits pertinent information about standard legislative processes. Readers should critically assess such content by cross-referencing with authoritative news outlets and official government statements to discern factual accuracy.

MAL -INFORMATION:

The 2016 DNC email leak is a clear example of mal-information, where true information was weaponized to cause harm. Emails were illicitly obtained and selectively released, aiming to damage reputations and manipulate public perception. While the emails were authentic, their exposure without context fueled misleading narratives and political polarization. This aligns with mal-information’s intentional misuse of factual content to undermine trust and sow discord. Readers should assess motive, context, and source credibility when encountering such content. Ethical journalism verifies intent behind leaked materials rather than exploiting private information for strategic deception.

About Covid “Leftovers”

Unfortunately, everyone knows someone who had COVID. Most people know of someone dealing with ‘long COVID.” No matter your opinion of the origin, political response, and social reaction to COVID, it is a very real and potentially deadly virus that caused permanent damage to millions.

Typical Covid Leftovers

1. Disruption of the Immune System:

COVID-19 can trigger an overactive immune response, leading to a dysregulated immune system even after recovery. This can result in a heightened risk of autoimmune disorders, chronic inflammation, and increased vulnerability to other infections.

2. Hormonal Imbalances:

The virus can disrupt the delicate balance of hormones within the body. This disruption may lead to irregularities in the menstrual cycle, fertility challenges, and hormonal imbalances that impact overall well-being.

3. Thyroid and Pituitary Gland Dysfunction:

COVID-19 has been associated with thyroid dysfunction, including both hypothyroidism and hyperthyroidism. Moreover, the virus can affect the pituitary gland, which plays a crucial role in regulating hormone production throughout the body.

4. Brain and Neurological Effects:

Emerging evidence suggests that COVID-19 can penetrate the central nervous system, potentially leading to neurological complications. These may manifest as persistent brain fog, memory issues, headaches, mood disorders, and even neurological conditions such as Guillain-Barré syndrome.

5. Liver Damage:

The virus can cause inflammation and injury to the liver, ranging from mild abnormalities in liver function tests to more severe conditions such as hepatitis and liver failure. Prolonged liver damage can have long-term implications for overall health and well-being.

6. Lung Injury and Respiratory Complications:

Even in individuals who did not require hospitalization, COVID-19 can leave lasting damage to the lungs. Conditions such as pulmonary fibrosis, scarring, and reduced lung capacity have been observed, leading to persistent respiratory symptoms and decreased quality of life.

Understanding the Connection:

Given the range of long-term health issues associated with COVID-19, it is crucial for individuals experiencing health challenges around the same time as their infection to consider a potential connection. If you are grappling with persistent symptoms following COVID-19, it is highly recommended to undergo a thorough wellness screening., which we offer here at Health+Plus Clinic in Oak Grove, Missouri.

Seeking Support and Treatment:

Discovering a connection between your health challenges and a previous COVID-19 infection can provide crucial insights for targeted treatment and management strategies. We can develop personalized plans to improve the functioning of affected systems and mitigate the long-term consequences.

Conclusion:

Sadly, COVID-19 is far from being just a temporary illness. Its long-term consequences can impact various systems in the body, causing persistent health challenges for many individuals. If you have a health challenge that began at about the same time as COVID, you should suspect a connection.

Health+Plus Clinic in Oak Grove, Missouri offers a thorough wellness screening that checks your lungs, circulation, hormones, thyroid, liver, etc. It is definitely recommended if you have long-term symptoms. If a dysfunction is found, there are most likely steps that can be taken to improve how your body functions.  If you are interested in learning more or you want to schedule your wellness screening, call 816-625-4497 or use our contact page. We would love to meet you and see what we can do to help.

Health+Plus is not an emergency medical facility. If you are having sudden intense symptoms go to a hospital, urgent care center, or call 911.

Home PCR tests are primarily for people with coronavirus symptoms (COVID-19). With the PCR home test kit, you can do the test in the comfort of your own home. Then, you send the swab to a lab to find the results.

The fact that the COVID-19 testing kit is available and easy to get in the UK shows how simple and easy COVID-19 testing is in the UK.

COVID Vaccines Increase Menstrual Irregularities Thousandfold, Fetal Abnormalities Hundredfold: Doctors' VAERS Analysis

[darkmaga-returns]

by Nicolas Hulscher, MPH

A new study titled, Menstrual Abnormalities Strongly Associated with Proximity to COVID-19 Vaccinated Individuals, was just published in the International Journal of Vaccine Theory, Practice, and Research:

In Spring 2021, MyCycleStorySM launched a secure online survey to which 92.3% of 6049 respondents self-reported menstrual irregularities occurring after the rollout of the COVID-19 injectables. Each respondent served as her own control because prior to the rollout of COVID-19 vaccination, the vast majority had regular menstrual cycles. A subgroup of 3390 respondents were only indirectly exposed to COVID-19 vaccines or the SARS-CoV-2 virus. This subgroup reported 1) being unvaccinated for COVID-19; 2) having had no COVID-19 symptoms; and 3) no positive test for COVID-19, yet a substantial majority of these women, who were only indirectly exposed to COVID-19 injectables or COVID-19 infections still had many of the same menstrual abnormalities as the 2659 women who were directly exposed to a COVID-19 injection (798), or had COVID-19 symptoms (1347), or tested positive for COVID-19 (514). Generalized linear mixed modeling was used to examine the association (not assuming causation) between abnormal menses experienced after the COVID-19 vaccine rollout by respondents who were only indirectly exposed by some degree of proximity to persons. Chi-Square, Student’s t, Kruskal-Wallis or ANOVA tests were used to assess the statistical significance of the similarities of menstrual irregularities reported by the directly exposed and indirectly exposed groups. The mean age of the entire cohort was 37.8 ± 0.1 years. The percentage of the indirectly exposed participants who reported being within 6 feet of a COVID-19 vaccinated person was 85.5%. Of these, 71.7% had irregular menstrual symptoms within one week and 50.1% had irregular menstrual symptoms within ≤3 days after exposure. When comparing daily proximity to a vaccinated person, the categories of “daily within 6 feet outside the household” versus “seldom/sometimes/daily outside 6 feet” had the highest relative risk at 1.34 (p<0.01) for heavier menstrual bleeding, early menses at more than 7 days early with a relative risk at 1.28 (p=0.03), and extended bleeding for more than 7 days with relative risk at 1.26 (p=0.04). Indirect exposure to COVID-19 vaccinated persons was significantly associated with the likelihood of the onset of menstrual irregularities. This study provides additional data to complement a growing body of evidence raising concerns regarding the safety of mRNA vaccines.

This is why more women need to be included in medical trials

Tens of thousands of women across the world have reported changes in menstruation after receiving the COVID-19 vaccine, raising question marks among doctors and scientists.

Complaints have included changes to the duration and flow of these women’s periods, and even pain, according to several surveys, but most doctors have stressed that there is just not enough evidence to directly link the jab to these changes.

Moreover, they say, the changes are short-term and there is no evidence that COVID-19 vaccination adversely affects fertility.

“We think that it is plausible there is a connection, but cannot prove this correlation,” said Dr. Itamar Netzer, an OB/GYN and medical administration specialist and a subdistrict director for Clalit Healthcare Services. “We are not much wiser” now than at the start of the vaccination campaign nearly 12 months ago.

According to Netzer, menstrual irregularities are a normal part of women’s lives. Women experience periods of irregularities throughout their fertile lifespan, sometimes brought on by bacterial or viral infections or even stress, though “most often for no reason at all.”

He said between 16% and 25% of women – normal, healthy, unvaccinated – experience irregular cycles, according to various studies. Around the same percentage reported menstrual changes as a result of COVID-19. An even smaller percentage of women expressed concern following vaccination.

Earlier this month, during the live-streamed meeting of the Health Ministry's Pandemic Response Team and members of its COVID-19 Vaccination Advisory Board, Dr. Emilia Ennis, director of the Health Ministry's Department of Epidemiology, shared data collected by the ministry on the matter. She noted that “all authorities in the world point out that the volume of reports that they have received on the subject is low in relation to the prevalence of such symptoms in the population regardless of the vaccine” – and that Israel is no different.

She said the ministry received reports of heavy or unexpected menstrual bleeding, changes in menstrual periods and menstrual bleeding in women after menopause. According to the latest data she could provide, there had been 1,300 reports of these changes after the first dose out of two million women vaccinated and 2,000 reports after the second dose out of a million vaccinations.

”There is no way to know the prevalence [of these kinds of changes] in years past or to compare whether the prevalence is now higher, which may indicate a connection to the vaccine,” Ennis said. “Prolonged irregularity or excessive and unusual bleeding can be symptoms of other disease states, so if you experience an abnormal and prolonged phenomenon, especially if you are at risk for hypercoagulability or decreased platelets, consult your doctor.”

There are several reasons for why COVID-19 vaccination could have short-term impact on a woman’s menstrual cycle, according to Israel Society of Obstetrics and Gynecology chairman Prof. Roni Maimon. He said this could include immunological influences on the hormones that drive the menstrual cycle or effects mediated by immune cells in the lining of the uterus.

In these cases, the effect would not be permanent but reversible within two or three cycles.

The Israel Society of Obstetrics and Gynecology announced in September that it would launch a comprehensive study on the subject, but two months later, according to Maimon, little progress has been made.

“First, we have to get ethical approval for the study [from the Helsinki Committee] and we have not even submitted it yet,” he said.

Maimon said that the study would be retrospective, meaning it would look at the medical records of a cohort of women.

Abroad, some studies have already been conducted or are in progress.

This particular study, however, looked only at 2,241 individuals over 18 who had at least one dose of any COVID-19 vaccine. The women were asked to use a web-based form to report their age, length of normal menstrual cycle, whether they use any hormonal contraception, whether they are breastfeeding, whether they have ever been diagnosed with a menstrual or gynecological condition and, for each dose of the vaccine, which brand they had, on which day of their cycle they were vaccinated and details of how the timing and flow of their next period compared to what they normally experience.

The results showed that the brand of the vaccine was not associated with the period changes, meaning this phenomenon is not specific to mRNA vaccines. It also found that individuals taking hormonal contraception were more likely to experience menstrual changes after vaccination, but that vaccination timing was not directly related to the effect on the next period.

Dr. Victoria Male of the Department of Metabolism, Digestion and Reproduction at Imperial College London led the study. She said that she has also recruited 250 women for a prospective study and data collection from that cohort is still ongoing.

Last month, a larger survey of some 19,000 women was uploaded to MedRxiv, with more disturbing results: 42% of people with regular cycles said they bled more heavily than usual. Nearly a third experienced a longer duration of menstrual bleeding.

Moreover, among a cohort of people who do not typically menstruate, 71% on long-acting reversible contraceptives, 39% on gender-affirming hormones, and 66% of post-menopausal people reported breakthrough bleeding.

This US study was led by researchers from Washington University in St. Louis, University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign and Harvard University.

Netzer cautioned that the survey design that the team used asked women to “recall their experiences” and that there was no objective measurement for before and after the vaccine.

A separate European study of about 16,000 women led researchers to conclude that “there is currently no evidence suggesting a causal relationship of menstrual disorders with Comirnaty,” the marketing name for Pfizer’s coronavirus vaccine.

Regarding the more than 30,000 reports of menstrual changes in the UK, the Royal College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists released the following statement by its vice president Dr. Jo Mountfield: “We understand that any changes to periods following a COVID-19 vaccine can be concerning. We want to reassure women that any changes generally revert back to normal after one or two cycles.

“There is no evidence to suggest that these temporary changes will have any impact on a person’s future fertility, or their ability to have children,” she continued. “It is important to get vaccinated as the best protection against coronavirus. This is especially important if you are planning a pregnancy, as we know unvaccinated pregnant women are more at risk of becoming seriously ill from COVID-19.”

Finally, last month, the National Institute of Child Health and Human Development awarded five grants totaling $1.67 million to agencies to explore the link between COVID-19 vaccination and menstruation changes, though this research just started, and it is too early to report results.

The research teams are from Boston University, Harvard Medical School, Johns Hopkins University, Michigan State University, and Oregon Health and Science University. The goal of their efforts is to see if the vaccine is directly linked to menstruation changes or if these changes are coincidental. They will also look at why these changes might occur and how long they might last.

Maimon said that there have been reports of reversible menstrual disturbances with other vaccines in the past, especially with the papilloma vaccination.

The US study published on MedRxiv also noted the link between other vaccines and period changes, including a study going back as far as 1913 that tied the typhoid vaccine with menstrual changes. They said studies of the Hepatitis B vaccine have also indicated that menstruation could be affected.

For Jewish religious women who observe the laws of family purity, these menstruation changes could be particularly challenging. However, Maimon said that once a conclusion about the phenomenon is made “the rabbis will discuss with us and see what needs to be done according to Jewish law.”

In the meantime, stressed Netzer, “the most important thing to say is that we do know for certain that COVID-19 vaccinations do not affect fertility or pregnancy.

“In contrast, COVID-19 is very dangerous, especially for pregnant women,” he added.

Peeps who menstruate:

If you know or suspect you had Covid-19 and have had a change in your cycles, worsening PMS, started having cycles again despite birth control, are having more clotting or pain, etc. this could be part of long Covid. This is the first article I found that links to a study, but anecdotally I can support this. Both my spouse and I are having issues that started after Covid.

PORTLAND, Oregon — For many of the past 78 nights, clouds of tear gas have wafted through downtown Portland and its surrounding neighborhoods. Liv Vasquez can feel the gas in her apartment, hanging in the air and irritating her eyes and throat. She believes it’s causing her serious health issues, like debilitating headaches and irregularities in her menstrual cycle.

Vasquez supports the Black Lives Matter movement, but she hasn’t attended any of the protests in the city. The 39-year-old is immunocompromised and has hardly left her apartment since the start of the COVID-19 pandemic to protect herself from the deadly virus.

But the symptoms she’s experiencing are so bad that Vasquez is leaving her inner Southeast Portland neighborhood — where she’s lived for nearly a decade — and moving to a suburb 15 miles outside the city, just to get away from the gas. She says there’s no other clear explanation for her recent health issues.

“I haven’t really changed anything in my life, besides living in Portland while it’s basically a war zone-slash-nuclear waste dump with all of this tear gas,” she said.

Local cops and federal officers have recently turned Portland into the biggest test case for sustained exposure to tear gas, possibly in American history. They’ve repeatedly doused parts of the city in gas and other riot-control munitions since protests over the police killing of George Floyd began in late May. The city was gassed so heavily in July that clouds showed up on the Federal Aviation Administration’s radar, according to The Nation.

Friday February 19 2021

We were supposed to be in Mississippi visiting family this weekend but alas, the country froze over. It's "warm" (aka above freezing) in Georgia, so we stayed home.

February marks the fifth month that my menstrual cycle has come on a consistent schedule (every 35-45 days) after a lifetime of irregularities and supposed infertility. I woke up in October with COVID and my period, and it's being regular ever since. Wtf. I know correlation does not equal causation but, I like to blame covid for stuff so, I blame covid.

Today Christian was in a 4 car rear end situation. He's fine. The car is fine. Zero damage to either. But it took up the whole day and we were both really pissed. Except very shortly after he got home he received a long awaited call about a job offer. He was offered the job! It pays SIGNIFICANTLY more than what he makes now, with outstanding benefits. Health, dental, vision, parental leave - the whole kit and kaboodle.

We are 4 weeks away from bringing home the new puppy and I am so in love with her (via pics and what the breeder has told me about her.) She should be perfect for the job we need her for.

I'm probably going to step back from my current position and take up something else from home. There's just too much we need worked on in the house. And my doctors visits aren't getting done like they should be with this schedule. Now that we have better financial resources it's more realistic for me to stay home and tend to my health, the house, the animals, garden etc.

Big things and big changes are coming in the coming weeks and I am so thrilled. 🥰

Can COVID-19 Vaccines Affect my Period?

Can COVID-19 Vaccines Affect my Period?

It’s not known, but researchers are starting to study the issue. Vaccines are designed to activate your immune system, and some experts have wondered if that could temporarily disrupt menstrual cycles. So far, reports of irregular bleeding have been anecdotal. And it’s hard to draw any links to the vaccines since changes could be the result of other factors including stress, diet and exercise…
