Are you willing to get the Covid vaccine when offered?

I’m certainly not saying it couldn’t happen. However, the statistical probability that it happened to only one person in the entire world directly from the vaccine is pretty much zero. If it weren’t simply a coincidence, we should see statistically significant reports of similar side effects.

I haven’t yet heard (and certainly not saying the reports aren’t out there - I’m just looking for evidence one way or another) of menopausal symptoms being tied to the vaccine yet.

I've seen a few articles about similar-ish symptoms ... and it certainly has been reported elsewhere. There just aren't any definitive studies, because it is rare, and quite frankly there's a pretty decent history of doctors and studies ignoring women's health issues.

COVID-19 itself effects women's menstruation cycles and there a documented side effects of the disease along those lines. So it isn't surprising that a vaccine will produce similar side effects that the disease does (but usually milder and more controlled).

This does not even mean that sammymvpknight's wife should not have had the vaccine -- in fact it's quite possible that taking the vaccine may prevent more serious covid-19 side effects should she contract the virus. Or not.
