#and every doctor I've seen since has been like 'why did you choose the AZ vaccine just out of curiosity👁️👄👁️'

Not to be an extreme right-wing conspiracy theorist, but it's just funny how we knew from the get-go that COVID-19 vaccination was linked to a higher risk of blood clots and stroke in females (especially females taking The Pill, of which the official medical advice on most types of The Pill specifically state 'do not combine this medication with any other drug, treatment, lifestyle choice, etc that will increase the risk of blood clots and stroke, bc The Pill will amplify the shit out of that risk'). And now we're also finding out that COVID-19 vaccination effects most womens' menstrual cycles. And that young females are generally more susceptible to side effects and vaccine injury from COVID-19 vaccination.

And that's not to say the vaccine wasn't necessary and didn't save lives. But the way in which womens extremely valid and demonstrable health issues were just swept under the rug, and continue to be swept under the rug, says a lot to me about how the medical industry and the entire world in general do not give a singular fuck about women.

I had to read a government propaganda piece from the ABC about how 'oh well yes, the COVID-19 vaccine does effect female menstrual cycles, but only by an average of plus one day in all women'. Like lmao, tf kind of scientific reporting is that? Yeah, a heart attack only increases heart rate by one BPM if you average it out over everyone's heart rates, so no one should worry about a heart attack? Like what even is a bell curve amirite?

And like, I would still want to get vaccinated regardless, because COVID-19 ain't no joke, but I also want to know which vaccine is safest for me as a woman, what I can do as a woman to minimise the risk of vaccine injury, what specific side effects can I expect as a woman, etc, etc, etc. Instead I just gotta play russian roulette because the medical industry can't be assed in providing the same amount of product safety and control for women as they do for men.

Like, can you imagine, if COVID-19 vaccination increased the risk of men having strokes and male baldness and whatever, that the official medical advice would still be 'shut up and get vaccinated'? Can you imagine that entire half of the population would just be expected to 'quietly take one for the team'? Like apparently women are expected to? Lol as if
