Research series

On Tuesday, September 14, I did 'part 1' of a research series looking into how and if it were possible for the COVID-19 vaccine to affect a woman's menstrual cycle. I mentioned that besides the anecdotal evidence shared by women to the Jamaica Observer that their periods have changed, there were over 4,000 women in the United Kingdom who also noticed changes to their period cycle. If you haven't read the article yet, you can look for the link below under 'Additional Resources'. 

In the previous article I also introduced you to two scientists who were currently researching the complaints of women across the United States, that something different is happening with their periods after taking the COVID-19 vaccine. Let me give you a bit of a progress report on that. 

COVID-19 Vaccines: Jamaican woman has magnetic reaction after receiving Pfizer jab.

 There is a video circulating across social media, not as viral as the Floyd Green video, but it is going around of a Jamaican woman who tried the 'magnetic challenge' and was not pleased with the results. What is the magnetic challenge you ask? 

The 'magnetic challenge' is where folks who took the COVID-19 vaccine take a metallic item whether it is a pin or some other steel/metal element, or the little fridge magnets and place them on the arm in which they received the jab to see if the magnet or metal would stick to it.

Research series

I read with interest an article published by The Jamaica Observer, titled 'Can COVID-19 vaccines impact periods?' which looked at the claims several women have been making that the COVID-19 vaccines were affecting their menstrual cycles. Some of the women who shared their experience claimed that before taking the vaccine, their periods were irregular but after taking the vaccine it now comes every month. Some of the respondents say their periods have showed up earlier than usual after taking the vaccine, while others said their periods were delayed and when it finally came it was very heavy and they experienced cramping.
