An\u00a0OB-GYN<\/a> is making a name for herself by claiming that the COVID vaccine is tied to a 50% decrease in fertility, a 50% increase in miscarriages, and a 25% increase in abnormal pap smears.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][vc_row_inner][vc_column_inner][vc_custom_heading text=”The Facts:” font_container=”tag:h3|text_align:left” use_theme_fonts=”yes”][vc_column_text css=””]Like many vaccine naysayers, this doctor connects her personal experiences to vaccination, making the supposed correlation do a lot of heavy lifting as proof of causation. As a scientist, she should know that anecdotes do not make for proof and\u00a0correlation does not imply causation<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Behind these claims may be real evidence that\u00a0vaccination<\/a>\u00a0(and\u00a0COVID<\/a>\u00a0disease) may slightly and temporarily lengthen someone\u2019s menstrual cycle. Despite these findings and the suggestions of the naysayers, COVID vaccines do not make anyone of any gender less likely to\u00a0conceive<\/a>\u00a0a baby and they do not cause\u00a0miscarriages<\/a>.<\/p>\n

As to the pap smear claims, most abnormal pap smears are caused by\u00a0HPV<\/a>, which is, of course, vaccine-preventable. Those abnormal results not caused by HPV are caused by sexually transmitted diseases or bacterial or yeast infections. Vaccines cannot cause any of those things.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][\/vc_column][\/vc_row]\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
