U.S. Food and Drug Administration conducted a review of the Pfizer-BioNTech COVID-19 vaccine on December 10, 2020. They concluded ‘the vaccine may be effective in preventing COVID-19 in individuals 16 years of age and older’. And moreover ‘the known and potential benefits outweigh its known and potential risks,’ for that age group. A follow-up study by U.S. Centers for Disease Control (CDC) confirmed there is no evidence that vaccines affect fertility.
How Centers for Disease Control Reached This Conclusion
WTOL11 News reported August 12, 2021 CDC tracked the progress of tens of thousands of vaccinated women. And their results confirmed ‘they had comparable pregnancy outcomes to pregnant women before the pandemic’. This means there is no evidence any vaccine – including approved COVID-19 ones – affects the chances of becoming pregnant.
And besides, a previous CDC report dated November 6, 2020 already confirmed no biological evidence exists that vaccines could affect fertility. Moreover, an independent Pfizer review also found similarly, after applying the placebo method to a group of women. It follows then, there is no substance for the persistent myth that COVID vaccines make women sterile.
And There Is No Evidence That Vaccines Affect Fertility
A further report by American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists dated July 30, 2021 adds to the growing evidence. They recommended ‘all eligible persons, including pregnant and lactating individuals, receive a COVID-19 vaccine or vaccine series’. And further on it went on to say, ‘claims linking COVID-19 vaccines to infertility are unfounded’.
‘So whether you are thinking about having a baby, trying to conceive or undergoing fertility treatments, you should not delay vaccination.’ So says Dr. Denise Jamieson, chair of the department of gynecology and obstetrics at Emory University School of Medicine. Thus, this appears to be another example of fake news flooding social media.
