Topic: Menstruation

Jen Psaki repeatedly denied that COVID-19 vaccines cause infertility, despite not being directly asked about the topic in some instances. The hosts speculate on Psaki's personal motivations for addressing the issue, citing anecdotal reports of menstrual cycle disruptions. They discuss the lack of long-term data regarding mRNA vaccines and reproductive health.

A study published in the Daily Mail confirms that COVID-19 vaccines can cause unexpected vaginal bleeding in post-menopausal women. Separately, a UK study of children aged 12 to 15 found that 34% of those taking puberty blockers like Triptorelin reported declining mental health. The hosts speculate on the long-term hormonal impacts of these medical interventions on adolescents.

The conversation delves into the theory of "vaccine shedding" through exosomes rather than traditional viral particles. Stephanie Seneff suggests that vaccinated individuals may release spike proteins via breath or sweat, potentially affecting those in close proximity. Anecdotal reports of menstrual irregularities in unvaccinated women and a case of an infant death following breastfeeding from a vaccinated mother are discussed.

Reports from healthcare workers and vaccinated individuals suggest a link between COVID-19 inoculations and abnormal menstrual cycles, including heavy bleeding and preterm labor. In a counter-narrative, journalist Amy Goodman reported on a study suggesting that exposure to police tear gas during protests in Portland, Oregon, might be the actual cause of these reproductive health issues. The conflicting reports highlight a lack of consensus in the medical community regarding these specific side effects.

Reports are circulating on social media and among health professionals regarding unvaccinated women experiencing unusual menstrual cycles or postmenopausal bleeding after being in close proximity to vaccinated individuals. These anecdotal accounts include claims of heavy bleeding and "clumping." While dismissed by the medical establishment as "anti-science," the frequency of these reports among personal acquaintances has led to increased concern among some groups.

Donald Trump faced backlash after commenting that Fox News moderator Megyn Kelly had "blood coming out of her wherever" during a debate. While media outlets like The New York Times and Democracy Now! interpreted this as a reference to menstruation, Trump denied the implication.

The concept of "moral self-licensing" is discussed in the context of charity trends like Red Nose Day and the ALS Ice Bucket Challenge. The hosts critique a new "awareness" campaign involving "tampon selfies" intended to break taboos around menstruation. They argue these social media trends allow people to feel virtuous without actually contributing to a cause.

An advertisement for the birth control pill Seasonique is discussed, specifically its claim that there is "no medical need" for a monthly period. The hosts suggest the product was a failed drug repurposed as a lifestyle feature. They mock the cheerful delivery of severe side effects, including blood clots and cancer, in the commercial.
