I agree that 1-3 delay in period is no big deal (heavier menstruation could be) but this all begs the question why earlier on in the vaccine drive when many women were reporting this issue, our health care agencies, random “experts”, and “fact” checkers were shooting these anecdotes down as “false” and “anti-vaxxer misinformation.”
When you lie about the small things you will lie about the big things too! This is another pattern of our “trusted” authorities lying then admitting it but adding on it’s a nothingburger. If it’s a nothing burger, why lie?
PS law of averages. Saying that women’s period was delayed by 18 hours is just an average. More probably some women experienced this delay as a few days and other women no delay.
Exactly.
This and the breastfeeding news that came out in the last couple of days (things that people were talking about when the vax came out but were told to sit down and shut up) bothers me to no end.
Not because of more and more info about what the vaccine has actually done - but because people were told to get the vaccine or lose their job. Or not be able to go to a restaurant. Or go to a concert.
I'm not here to argue for or against the vaccines and I had read this article with interest myself yesterday.
You do realize that this was a "study" of data within a commericial app on people's phones where they voluntarily track their menstrual cycles. The women involved already used this app and it was just data mining.
They found that after one vaccine there was an average increase in the length of a menstrual cycle by less than one day. It was something like a .71 day delay (or approximately 18 hours). If a woman had two vaccines between two periods, that could shift to a longer interval; however, there wasn't enough data on that to get anything conclusive.
The authors were quick to note that any stress to the body (be it in the form of a vaccine, mental distress, a cold, etc) also causes menstrual cycles to shorten or lengthen.
So while this is interesting and can/should be looked at further (like do other vaccines cause this?). I mean I cut my hand really bad, had a tetanus shot, and my period was 3 days late. So it's worth doing a control and probably easily done.
What the "study" did not address was all the reports of women reporting much heavier menstrual bleeding. That issue would be the more interesting one as that generally doesn't change on a healthy woman without uterine issues. The timing, by a day here or there, generally is very susceptible ot outside influences.
The point isn't that peoples lives are disrupted by a .71 day change but that SOMETHING unforeseen is happening inside the body. I wonder if the 8 mice they used to study the new vaccine gave any indication of this.
Well yes, triggering your body's immune system is going to have some short-term impact on your physiology. That means it's working.
Omg. I had forgotten about THAT excuse. "So, I've been laid up sick for 3 days and can't work after my vaccine... That means it's working!"
