This\u00a0journal\u00a0isn’t taken seriously because the people accepting\u00a0and\u00a0reviewing<\/a>\u00a0papers do not have the background or expertise needed to make good decisions about them.<\/p>\n

The study has several critical problems that should make you distrust it. First, it relies on\u00a0self-reported<\/a>\u00a0data from\u00a0people<\/a>\u00a0asked\u00a0through social media and anti-vaccine groups to provide responses.\u00a0Everyone in the survey had experienced menstrual abnormalities and had been looking for a cause.<\/p>\n

This survey sought to compare the difference between those directly and indirectly exposed to COVID and\/or the vaccine. By Spring of 2021, roughly\u00a0half<\/a>\u00a0of all adults in the country had received at least one COVID vaccine, so most people would know or encounter at least one vaccinated person in their lives. So, this study has no proper control group of women who were not exposed to vaccinated people, making it impossible to show that the vaccine was the cause or to see how often symptoms happened.<\/p>\n

The most important point is that there\u2019s no clear scientific explanation for how being near vaccinated people could cause menstrual changes. The study mentions “vaccine shedding,” but there\u2019s no proof that mRNA vaccine components can spread this way.<\/p>\n

Because of these problems, the study\u2019s results should be viewed with serious doubt and not taken as reliable proof of any connection between being close to vaccinated people and menstrual changes.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][\/vc_column][\/vc_row]\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
