Apparently it was reported in the Sunday Times that 4,000 women have reported problems with their menstrual cycle since taking the Covid jab. Of course the pro-vaccine lobby will argue and dismiss it as a risk worth taking just like the blood-clotting & inflammation of the heart.

I first came across and tweeted this latest concern that was centred around women courtesy of a podcast my daughter told me about. It was based on the testimony of women who had no menstrual cycle problems for decades until they took the Covid jab.

The ladies who openly expressed their own concerns on the podcast advised others experiencing the same with no history of previous delays, missed periods or significantly heavier than usual bleeding to report it to the relevant authorities via the yellow card or by calling them.

What worries me is the reluctance of people to accept this is even a potential issue. I even had a female neighbour of mine immediately dismiss this story as fake news and totally untrue. When I told her that that these women are real with real stories to tell, she went silent.

Now I can accept untrue provided that is backed up by evidence, but women dismissing outright something so potentially serious for their own gender despite a growing body of evidence to the contrary is worrying and more based on ignorance rather than an informed point of view!

It leaves me wondering if women are sometimes the least empathetic and the worst critics of their own gender. Maybe it’s because it is a female issue and when men comment so it provokes a negative reaction in some females or is mistaken for mansplaining. Either way you can’t win!

Or maybe it’s an area many women view as none of our business. But maybe there is an issue here that both genders need to come to terms with to move into the 21st century so that men can educate themselves and understand women better rather than it remain a taboo subject?

Surely women and men can be empathetic or supportive without being intrusive? Why do issues like endometriosis that affect so many of our girlfriends, wives, sisters or daughters be treated with silence?

Likewise, if there is sufficient evidence to conclude that there are real issues with these vaccines that affect females.. let’s deal with it not brush it under the carpet of the vaccine rollout in the name of the greater good prevails or it doesn’t affect me attitude!

This is supposed to be an age of enlightenment, science , reasoning and knowledge so let’s stop living in the dark ages and he open minded to the possibility that these women can’t all be telling lies and look into this further instead of dismissing it as some conspiracy theory.
