Dr. Christian Northrup claims that COVID vaccines cause unusual and serious menstrual problems in women and girls.

Many posts online say that vaccines cause very serious problems with women’s periods, like extreme bleeding or lasting damage. Researchers who studied thousands to millions of women found that some people did notice small changes in their periods after vaccination. For example, cycles could be a little longer or the flow could change. However, these changes were usually mild and went back to normal after a short time.

The more extreme stories, like very heavy bleeding, rare medical events, or deaths, have not been found in large, well-run studies. Scientists look at data from many people to see what is really happening, and these serious problems do not show up as common or linked to vaccines. Stories from social media or small groups are not enough to prove cause and effect, because they are not controlled or verified the same way scientific studies are.

Some claims also say vaccines can make women infertile or unable to have children in the future. Studies looking at pregnancy and fertility treatments, like IVF, show that vaccinated and unvaccinated people have the same chances of getting pregnant. Major medical groups and researchers agree there is no evidence that vaccines harm fertility.

Another idea is that vaccines can spread from one person to another and cause problems in people who did not get the shot. Scientists have not found a clear way that being near a vaccinated person could change someone else’s period. The idea of “vaccine shedding” means something from the vaccine would leave one person’s body and affect another person, but mRNA vaccines do not work like that. They do not contain a live virus, and they break down quickly inside the body, so there is no good evidence that anything from the vaccine can spread to other people or change their bodies.

Overall, the best scientific evidence shows that vaccines may cause short-term, mild changes for some people, but they do not cause the serious, long-term harms described in those claims. In fact, getting COVID-19 itself can be more harmful to the body, including during pregnancy, than the vaccine.

In a video, RFK Jr. said that the HPV vaccine is much more dangerous than the cancer it is meant to prevent and called it the worst vaccine.

The HPV vaccine has been studied for many years and is proven to be safe and effective. It went through careful testing before approval, and more than 160 studies continue to support its safety. The vaccine helps prevent cancers caused by HPV.

HPV spreads easily during the teen and young adult years, which is why the vaccine is recommended early. It works best before someone is exposed to the virus. Vaccination programs have already led to large drops in HPV infections and pre-cancer conditions.

While most HPV infections go away on their own, some do not. About 5 to 10 percent can last and lead to cancers such as cervical, throat, and anal cancer. There is no way to know who will develop these long-term infections, so prevention is important.

The vaccine also cannot cause HPV because it does not contain a live virus. It is a subunit vaccine, meaning that it contains pieces of the virus. There is no way for the vaccine, which doesn’t contain any live virus, let alone a whole virus, to cause HPV cancers.

Large studies show strong results. Research in Sweden and Scotland found major drops in cervical cancer among vaccinated people, and in the UK, cervical cancer has nearly been eliminated in younger vaccinated women.

Did you know that the HPV vaccine is 20 years old? It was released before Twitter was launched, Netflix started streaming, and the first iPhone was sold!

A video from Children’s Health Defense claimed that several childhood vaccines contained small amounts of a chemical called glyphosate, with one vaccine showing higher levels, and said this means harmful substances are being injected into children.

The claim start with Moms Across America through a study they commissioned and was given a boost by a glyphosate-cancer lawsuit in 2018.

The study used unreliable techniques for finding small amounts of chemicals.

In addition, glyphosate is not metabolized by anything other than the soil’s microbiota, and there is little evidence that it could even make its way into vaccines. It’s simply not a plausible theory.
