Given the general 2020 media climate of hyping any random problems which could be attributed to "the pandemic," I feel like there would be at least one article from that period mentioning that women were experiencing menstruation changes before the vaccine rollout in early 2021.

First google hit: https://www.washingtonpost.com/lifestyle/wellness/coronavirus-period-menstruation-disruption/2020/08/21/0966b79a-e332-11ea-b69b-64f7b0477ed4_story.html https://www.washingtonpost.com/lifestyle/wellness/coronaviru... 2020 sucked for various reasons as did parts of 2021. The unknown, wfh, breakdown of supply chains and travel, nasty business. Just saying there were all sorts of things that could be explained by nocebo as well as actual medical effects. Anti anxiety meds spiked big time: https://www.marketwatch.com/story/anti-anxiety-medication-prescriptions-have-spiked-34-during-the-coronavirus-pandemic-2020-04-16 https://www.marketwatch.com/story/anti-anxiety-medication-pr... No matter whether you believe in covid or not the world had a particularly sucky year or two that could have been a lot worse. How and where work is performed has seen significant changes. Hopefully, current generations won’t experience another one.

  > the world had a particularly sucky year or two For me it was okay. Much of the western world lived in fear, so that sucked for them. In terms of world history, times have been worse. We aren't that special.
