One can hardly blame people for being worried about the new Covid-19 vaccines when there are so many anecdotal reports of weird side effects — including women experiencing disturbing changes in their menstrual cycles.
Reports of early and unusually heavy periods or other irregularities were becoming so common earlier this spring that University of Illinois anthropologist Kate Clancy started collecting them. People may wonder, rightly, why this isn’t being studied in a more systematic way. If something this unexpected can happen, then what else?
The original clinical trials were set up to get the minimum information needed to win emergency use approval, and follow-up study has been less than systematic. Yet getting a handle on these disturbing side effects wouldn’t be that hard. Several doctors I talked to mentioned there’s a self-reporting system called V-Safe, but they’d like to see something bigger and more systematic, where people tracked all sorts of physical changes in real time, including these peculiar menstrual irregularities.
There’s ample evidence that sex differences matter in responses to the vaccine and need more study. Women are more likely to report mild or moderate side effects, and much more likely to suffer the severe ones.
Twenty-two of the 28 people who suffered blood clots possibly associated with the Johnson & Johnson vaccine were women. Women also make up nearly all of the small number who had a severe allergic reaction — anaphylaxis — following injection with other vaccines. Women are also much more likely to suffer severe, extensive rashes after getting the Covid-19 vaccine — another uncommon but troubling side effect.
As I learned researching this column on Covid vaccination during pregnancy, women and men often react differently to infectious agents and vaccines because women’s immune systems are adapted to protect a fetus from infection but also not to attack the foreign cells that make up the fetus.
It’s not surprising that sex hormones and the immune system can influence each other, says Johns Hopkins University immunologist Sabra Klein. She said she’s submitted a proposal to the National Institutes of Health to study the menstrual problems. I asked her whether there’s any understanding of whether the other side effects are more common only in women of reproductive age, or across all age groups. She said that hasn’t been studied yet, but should be.
All the women who had blood clots following the Johnson & Johnson shot were between 18 and 48. Doctors are still discussing whether women of reproductive age should be advised to avoid it in favor of the other approved vaccines, but nobody, she says, is doing studies on the question.
Some people have tried to dismiss the blood clot problem by noting that birth control pills are also associated with blood clot risk. But neither problem should be dismissed. More work should be done to prevent women from getting blood clots associated with birth control pills too.
Right now, the main source of public information on vaccine side effects is a website called the Vaccine Adverse Events Reporting System (VAERS). But the information there can be misleading. With half the U.S. population getting the shots at this point, it’s inevitable that some will develop severe diseases and even die for reasons that have nothing to do with the vaccination campaign. On the other hand, VAERS is going to miss anything people don’t go to the trouble of reporting, and most people won’t have the time or knowledge or interest to do this.
The right reason to be confident in vaccines is that they provide impressive protection against a deadly virus, and that the materials they introduce into the body quickly degrade or get destroyed by the immune system. Unlike the virus itself, they can’t replicate themselves, and any side effects should wane quickly. The wrong reason would be blind trust of public health officials or Big Pharma.
A failure to systematically study vaccine side effects could contribute to vaccine skepticism — and while women have been quicker to get vaccinated, they are also more likely to express concern over the side effects. And vaccine hesitancy is already causing trouble in nursing homes, according to a recent story in the Boston Globe, revealing that a number of nursing home workers are refusing, and some newer residents have not been able to obtain a vaccine.
The public is worried because these vaccines are new. But new doesn’t have to mean poorly understood. Because these shots are being distributed to so many millions of people, it’s possible to collect huge amounts of safety and side effect data, as well as data identifying when and why a few people still get infected after vaccination.
That data will be useful as the world is likely to continue to update vaccines, and they are likely to be the most important part of the fight against this pandemic long into the future. Public trust is critical, but the CDC, doctors and public health experts could do more to earn it.
Hey Flem, It’s because their not vaccines their mass murder shots. I do hope you got yours.
I’m not worried about side effects. They will have to kill me to put it in me. We’re going to find out who the men are.

These death shots have a plethora of ways to kill you, but in the end, the results are the same, DEATH! It’s far better to die fighting anyone trying to inject you with a lethal injection than to submit to being a human guinea-pig/lab rat. Death to all who support the genocide we are witnessing with these “vaccines”.
I found out yesterday that a family member in his early twenties, with no previous health issues, recently had some kind of anemic issue, and after further testing at the emergency room, he has been diagnosed with early stage Leukemia. I’m “sure” it had “nothing” to do with the Moderna shot he received recently. Many of my extended family have chosen to be vaccinated, and when they ask me if I’ve been vaccinated, I tell them plainly “No, and I’m not going to.” I warned them all about the dangers of these lethal injections, but I was laughed at like I’m a fool for not trusting the “experts”.
Join the club! I cut all ties with my family over this bullshit.They did not do any research, nor did they use any common sense whatsoever. They got their reality from the Tell-Lie-Vision, and believed everything that the US Corporation told them and got the nanobot PCR test and the death jab. As Alan Watt once said: “If you put your hand in the fire, you will get burned. You can get burned if you want to, that’s OK. But if it turns out that you don’t want to get burned, then you don’t put your hand in the fire.” Now they got burned and refuse to take responsibility for the choices they made, and I knew they were going to get pissed and want to get even with me for bringing up the dangers of getting jabbed. The moral of my story is this: Ignorance is your fault and your fault alone! So let’s start paying attention to this sinister depopulation agenda.
