Expert warns that there is credible evidence that the COVID shots may cross-react with syncytin and reproductive genes in sperm, ova and placenta in ways that might impair reproductive outcomes. โ€˜We could potentially be sterilizing an entire generation.โ€™

STORY AT-A-GLANCE

  • The first COVID shots rolled out in December 2020, and it didnโ€™t take long before doctors and scientists started warning of possible reproductive effects, as the jab may cross-react with syncytin and reproductive genes in sperm, ova and placenta in ways that might impair reproduction
  • According to one recent investigation, 42% of women with regular menstrual cycles said they bled more heavily than usual after vaccination; 39% of those on gender-affirming hormone treatments reported breakthrough bleeding, as did 71% of women on long-acting contraceptives and 66% of postmenopausal women
  • Other recent research has found the Pfizer COVID jab impairs semen concentration and motile count in men for about three months
  • Miscarriages, fetal deaths and stillbirths have also risen after the rollout of the COVID shots. In November 2021, Lions Gate Hospital in North Vancouver, British Columbia (BC), delivered 13 stillborn babies in a 24-hour period, and all of the mothers had received the COVID jab
  • Many countries are now reporting sudden declines in live birth rates, including Germany, the U.K., Taiwan, Hungary and Sweden. In the five countries with the highest COVID jab uptake, fertility has dropped by an average of 15.2%, whereas the five countries with the lowest COVID jab uptake have seen an average decline of just 4.66%

The first COVID shots rolled out in December 2020, and it didnโ€™t take long before doctors and scientists started warning of possible reproductive effects.

Among them were Janci Chunn Lindsay, Ph.D., director of toxicology and molecular biology for Toxicology Support Services LLC, who in April 2021 submitted a public comment1 to the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Preventionโ€™s Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices (ACIP), highlighting the high potential for adverse effects on fertility.

I previously interviewed Lindsay in 2021. That article is not updated with the new information, but the interview (above) is a good primer for the information she shares below. In many ways, she predicted what we are now observing.

She stressed thereโ€™s credible evidence that the COVID shots may cross-react with syncytin and reproductive genes in sperm, ova and placenta in ways that might impair reproductive outcomes. โ€œWe could potentially be sterilizing an entire generation,โ€ she warned.

Lindsay also pointed out that reports of significant menstrual irregularities and vaginal hemorrhaging in women who received the injections by then already numbered in the thousands, and that this too was a safety signal that should not be ignored.

4 in 10 COVID-Jabbed Women Report Menstrual Irregularities

As it turns out, early reports of menstrual irregularities were not a fluke. More recent investigations have confirmed that, indeed, many women experience menstrual irregularities after the shots. As reported by NBC News in mid-July 2022:2

โ€œAn analysis3ย published Friday in the journal Science Advances found that 42% of people with regular menstrual cycles said they bled more heavily than usual after vaccination. Meanwhile, 44% reported no change and around 14% reported a lighter period.

Among nonmenstruating people โ€” those post-menopause or who use certain long-term contraceptives, for example โ€” the study suggests many experienced breakthrough or unexpected bleeding after their COVID shots.โ€

Other categories of people reporting abnormal breakthrough bleeding included 39% of those on gender-affirming hormone treatments, 71% of women on long-acting contraceptives and 66% of postmenopausal women.4

Older women, those who used hormonal contraception, had been pregnant previously, or had diagnoses of endometriosis, fibroids or polycystic ovarian syndrome were more likely to experience heavier bleeding than normal after their shots.

Are Menstrual Irregularities Inconsequential?

Itโ€™s worth noting that the COVID trials did not ask female participants about their menses, and didnโ€™t collect any data on reproductive impacts. Yet, despite this clear lack of data collection, the official narrative is that everything is fine โ€” the shots are safe and wonโ€™t impact fertility.

Just how do they know? They donโ€™t, and thatโ€™s what makes such claims so egregious. Making matters worse, media reporting these findings continue to insist that post-jab menstrual irregularities are โ€œnormalโ€ and not a sign that reproductive capacity is being impacted. For example, Science writes:5

โ€œClarifying the issue is vital. โ€˜Itโ€™s important to know about,โ€™ says Victoria Male, a reproductive immunologist at Imperial College London. โ€˜Letโ€™s say you got the vaccine and the next day you felt really dreadful the way some people do.โ€™

If you hadnโ€™t been informed of the chance of fever, muscle aches, and other effects that quickly dissipate, โ€˜you would be really worried,โ€™ she said. Illuminating the chance of menstrual irregularities and confirming they arenโ€™t a health risk also helps combat widespread misinformation that COVID-19 vaccines impair fertility, Male and others say.โ€

Again, no one knows whether the shots affect fertility or not for the simple fact that it hasnโ€™t been studied. No study means no data, which means no knowledge. Itโ€™s that simple. Any claims to the contrary are based on pure guesswork, and guessing is not science.

And, while a womanโ€™s menstrual cycle can fluctuate, abrupt changes have historically not been brushed off as inconsequential. On the contrary, suddenly abnormal menses has been listed as a potential sign of things like:6,7,8

  • Uterine and/or cervical cancer
  • Bleeding disorders
  • Thyroid dysfunction and/or pituitary disorders affecting your hormonal balance
  • Infection and/or disease
  • Perimenopause

Menstrual Cycle Length Is Also Affected

Research9 published April 1, 2022, in the journal Obstetrics and Gynecology, also found an association between the COVID jab and changes in menstrual cycle length. The change was small โ€” about one day shorter than pre-injection after the second dose โ€” and was not deemed to be of any great concern. Still, in my mind, the change indicates that something is happening. The question is what?

Infection Can Suppress Ovarian Function

Some investigators have suggested the menstrual irregularities seen in female COVID patients and the COVID-jabbed alike may be attributed to an immune response to the spike protein.

Back in January 2021, a Chinese study10 published in Reproductive BioMedicine Online found that 28% of unvaccinated women of reproductive age diagnosed with COVID-19 had a change in the length of their cycle, 19% had prolonged cycles and 25% had a change in menstrual blood volume.

The researchers hypothesized that โ€œthe menstruation changes of these patients might be the consequence of transient sex hormone changesโ€ caused by a temporary suppression of ovarian function during infection.

Dr. Natalie Crawford, a fertility specialist, has suggested that the menstrual irregularities seen in female COVID-19 patients may be linked to a cellular immunity response, and since the COVID shot instructs your body to make the SARS-CoV-2 spike protein, which your immune system then responds to, the effects of the jab may be similar to the natural infection.11 In a 2021 BMJ editorial, Male, quoted by Science above, presented a similar view:12

โ€œMenstrual changes have been reported after both mRNA and adenovirus vectored COVID-19 vaccines, suggesting that, if there is a connection, it is likely to be a result of the immune response to vaccination rather than a specific vaccine component. Vaccination against human papillomavirus (HPV) has also been associated with menstrual changes.

โ€ฆ Biologically plausible mechanisms linking immune stimulation with menstrual changes include immunological influences on the hormones driving the menstrual cycle or effects mediated by immune cells in the lining of the uterus, which are involved in the cyclical build-up and breakdown of this tissue. Research exploring a possible association between COVID-19 vaccines and menstrual changes may also help understand the mechanism.โ€

That doesnโ€™t mean menstrual irregularities are of no consequence, though. After all, it appears weโ€™re dealing with a manmade virus, and the mRNA in the shot that programs for spike protein production is genetically engineered on top of that.

Perhaps this is why a greater percentage of women report menstrual irregularities following the COVID jab, compared to the percentage of women who experience irregularities following natural infection?

It may also be worth looking into the parallels between the blood clotting disorders reported โ€” both in some COVID-19 cases and post-COVID-19 jab โ€” and Von Willebrand disease,13 a chronic condition that prevents normal blood clotting, thus resulting in excessively heavy periods.

Miscarriages, Fetal Deaths and Stillbirths Have Skyrocketed

Menstrual irregularities arenโ€™t the only safety signal. Miscarriages, fetal deaths and stillbirths have also risen after the rollout of the COVID shots. In November 2021, Lions Gate Hospital in North Vancouver, British Columbia (BC), delivered an astonishing 13 stillborn babies in a 24-hour period, and all of the mothers had received the COVID jab.14

In a typical month, there may be one stillborn baby at the hospital, making 13 stillbirths in 24 hours highly unusual. Scotland has also experienced an unusual rise in infant death rates. During September 2021, at least 21 babies under 4 weeks old died โ€” a rate of 4.9 per 1,000 births. Historically, the average death rate among newborns in Scotland is about 2 per 1,000 births.15

Yet, despite stillbirths going up after the introduction of the COVID jabs โ€” as opposed to rising beforehand โ€” studies linking stillbirths to SARS-CoV-2 infection have been used to encourage pregnant women to get the shot.16

So, basically, itโ€™s been discovered that the infection itself can cause stillbirth (and we know the spike protein of the virus is the part that causes most of the problems), yet they want you to believe that the spike protein produced by the shot will somehow have a protective impact on pregnancy.

This line of reasoning falls apart even further when you consider that scientists are now saying post-jab menstrual irregularities are likely due to immune responses that arise in response to both the virus and the jab. If thatโ€™s true, then why would the COVID shot not also be able to cause stillbirths to the same or greater degree than the virus?

There Are No Data to Support COVID Jab for Pregnant Women

Health officials are adamant that pregnant women get a COVID-19 injection, but the data donโ€™t support its safety. The CDC-sponsored study17 published in The New England Journal of Medicine (NEJM) that was widely used to support the U.S. recommendation for pregnant women to get injected was corrected in October 2021, with the correction stating:18

โ€œIn the table footnotes, the following content should have been appended to the double dagger footnote:

โ€˜No denominator was available to calculate a risk estimate for spontaneous abortions, because at the time of this report, follow-up through 20 weeks was not yet available for 905 of the 1224 participants vaccinated within 30 days before the first day of the last menstrual period or in the first trimester. Furthermore, any risk estimate would need to account for gestational week-specific risk of spontaneous abortion.’โ€

COVID Jab Affects Male Fertility Too

Other recent research19,20 has found the Pfizer COVID jab also โ€œtemporarily impairs semen concentration and motile countโ€ in men. As noted by the authors:21

โ€œThe development of COVID-19 vaccinations represents a notable scientific achievement. Nevertheless, concerns have been raised regarding their possible detrimental impact on male fertility โ€ฆ

Thirty-seven SD [semen donors] from three sperm banks that provided 216 samples were included in that retrospective longitudinal multicenter cohort study. BNT162b2 vaccination included two doses, and vaccination completion was scheduled 7 days after the second dose.

The study included four phases: T0 โ€” pre-vaccination baseline control, which encompassed 1โ€“2 initial samples per SD; T1, T2 and T3 โ€” short, intermediate, and long terms evaluations, respectively. Each included 1-3 semen samples per donor provided 15-45, 75-125 and over 145 days after vaccination completion, respectively โ€ฆ

Repetitive measurements revealed โˆ’15.4% sperm concentration decrease on T2 (CI โˆ’25.5%-3.9%, p = 0.01) leading to total motile count 22.1% reduction (CI โˆ’35% โ€“ โˆ’6.6%, p = 0.007) compared to T0.

Similarly, analysis of first semen sample only and samplesโ€™ mean per donor resulted in concentration and total motile count (TMC) reductions on T2 compared to T0 โ€” median decline of 12 million/ml and 31.2 million motile spermatozoa, respectively โ€ฆ on first sample evaluation and median decline of 9.5 ร— 106ย and 27.3 million motile spermatozoa โ€ฆ on samplesโ€™ mean examination. T3 evaluation demonstrated overall recovery without โ€ฆ

This longitudinal study focused on SD demonstrates selective temporary sperm concentration and TMC deterioration 3 months after vaccination followed by later recovery verified by diverse statistical analyses.โ€

As with womenโ€™s menstrual problems, the authors blame these adverse effects in men on a โ€œsystemic immune responseโ€ to the COVID shot. However, while they claim menโ€™sโ€™ reproductive capacity will recover in about three months, this could still be a tremendous problem.

Remember, the mRNA shots are recommended at three-month intervals for the original series, and boosters are now being recommended at varying intervals thereafter. If you destroy a manโ€™s sperm for three months every time he gets a COVID shot, youโ€™re significantly reducing the probability of him fathering a child for a good part of any given year.

Massive Depopulation Underway

Whether accidental or intentional, the fact of the matter is that weโ€™re now seeing an abrupt drop in live births along with an equally sudden rise in excess deaths among adults. The end result will be a reduction in the global population.

That seems inevitable at this point, and the timing of these trends correspond with the release of these experimental COVID gene transfer injections. For example, Germany recently released data showing a 10% decline in birth rate during the first quarter of 2022.22

Other countries are also seeing unexpected birth rate reductions, nine months after the start of the mass vaccination campaign against COVID. Between January and April 2022, Switzerlandโ€™s birth rate was 15% lower than expected, the U.K.โ€™s was down by 10% and Taiwanโ€™s was down 23%.25,26,27In the five countries with the highest COVID jab uptake, fertility has dropped by an average of 15.2%, whereas the five countries with the lowest COVID jab uptake have seen an average reduction of just 4.66%.

In a July 5, 2022, Counter Signal article, Mike Campbell reported concerns expressed by Hungarian MP Dรบrรณ Dรณra during a Parliamentary speech:28

โ€œIn January this year, something happened that has not happened for decades. The birth rate fell by 20% compared to the same period last year. And what is even more worrying is that the fertility has also fallen โ€” something not seen since 2011 โ€ฆ

[A] researcher at the KRTK Institute of Economics points out that this drastic decline came just nine months after the COVID mass vaccinations began in Hungary.โ€

After looking into further, Campbell discovered that in the five countries with the highest COVID jab uptake, fertility has dropped by an average of 15.2%, whereas the five countries with the lowest COVID jab uptake have seen an average reduction of just 4.66%.

The U.S. is also showing signs of a drop in live births. Provisional data from North Dakota shows a 10% decline in February 2022, 13% reduction in March and an 11% reduction in April, compared to the corresponding months in 2021.29ย Below is a chart from Birth Gauge30ย on Twitter comparing live birth data for 2021 and 2022 in a large number of countries.

At this time, women are not being warned about the risks for miscarriage, menstrual irregularities and the potential for fertility problems and stillbirths, even though all of these safety signals are glaringly obvious. As obstetrician-gynecologist specialist, Dr. James Thorp, told The Epoch Times in April 2022:31

โ€œIโ€™ve seen many, many, many complications in pregnant women, in moms and in fetuses, in children, offspring, fetal death, miscarriage, death of the fetus inside the momโ€ฆ What Iโ€™ve seen in the last two years is unprecedented.โ€

Tragically, doctors are under a worldwide gag order. They steer patients away from the COVID shot at the risk of losing their medical license. This puts patients in an incredibly risky situation, as most rely on their doctors to tell them the truth. Few expect doctors to lie or hide life saving information from them simply to protect their own career. So, weโ€™re in unprecedented times in more ways than one.

What this means is that you have no choice, really, but to do your own research and gauge the risks as best you can. There are tons of data out there โ€” data that the mainstream media wonโ€™t touch, and if they do, they still insist adverse events arenโ€™t a sign of danger. In such situations, you simply have to put on your thinking cap and think it through for yourself.

As of July 15, 2022, the U.S. Vaccine Adverse Event Reporting System (VAERS) had logged 1,350,947 adverse event reports following the COVID jab, including 29,635 deaths,32 and thereโ€™s evidence that reports are being deleted from the system by the thousands. You can learn more about that in โ€œThousands of Deaths and Adverse Reactions Deleted From VAERS.โ€

The safety signals coming from the COVID jabs exceed anything else in medical history. No drug or vaccine has ever been associated with as many injuries and deaths, including harm to the unborn.

At this point, it appears weโ€™re looking at a certain depopulation event. The question then is, are you willing to accept the risks? Are you willing to risk your fertility, even if only temporarily? Are you willing to risk the life of your baby? Are you willing to risk your own? If not, the answer is simple. Donโ€™t take the jab, and if youโ€™ve already taken one or two (or three), never take another.
