> What else should I know about this research?
> The nature of this survey means that we cannot compare the incidence of different experiences here with the general population (meaning, 40% of this sample having an experience does not mean that is the rate of that experience out in the world). The associations described here are not causal but provide evidence to better study these trends further. We emphasize that menstrual bleeding changes of this nature are generally not indicative of changes to fertility.
- ec109685 4y agoIt’s so disturbing there are summaries like this that disregard the fact that this is self reported and there is a huge disclaimer that it is overly counting the incidents: “Nearly half of the participants of a recent study who were menstruating regularly at the time of the survey reported heavier bleeding during their periods after receiving the Covid-19 vaccine” https://www.nytimes.com/2022/07/15/well/live/covid-vaccines-periods.html https://www.nytimes.com/2022/07/15/well/live/covid-vaccines-... Of course people when you ask them to reflect on something when there are news reports floating around about the issue are going to over report.
