Well, the covid vaccine and the extreme menstrual disregulation it caused on women. I just don't trust the pharma industry anymore.

Yes some women experienced menstrual issues after the COVID vaccine. From what I understand their cycles went back to normal.

I was vaccinated with the first 2 doses. But didn’t get any boosters. I think I will this year with my flu shot though.

Sometimes you have to take on small side effects and most side effects are rare. Vaccines are good for our society. So many diseases that kill you quick are rare now thanks to vaccines.

Something like cancer has a very rough treatment. It’s so difficult on your body. I’d gladly take a vaccine and deal with small side effects than to go through chemo and possibly die a slow death.

I’m also untrusting of the pharma industry. I personally think we’re over medicated, especially in the western world. But you can’t deny how lucky we are to live in a time where we are making these types of medical advances.

If anything, the pharma industry will make more money without vaccines. Vaccines are way cheaper than treatment. I can never understand this argument against vaccines

I can vouch also that yes I had some menstrual dysregulation after the original two shots, but it too went back to normal and stabilized. I did not get any boosters, as I’m not in the medical field, give them to the older population who needs them more than I do.

Any proselytizing against vaccines is severely misguided misinformation that was spread by far right extremists.

I hate how a lot of science these days is disregarded because some individual things they know more than a doctor. Though some things should be contested, as you said, you can’t trust Pharma blindly. Like they should be given hard questions as to why more research isn’t done with the female population as an example.

Definitely this! I think with social media the way it is it’s easier to spread misinformation and letting everyone know your personal opinions on everything. I think that’s why anti vax has got to where it is.

I’m not anti vax but I do have a lot of questions for pharma and I hate that women aren’t in mind for any treatments. It’s always based off males.

I 100% agree! You give people the opportunity to have a platform, that means all people have a platform, and really a lot of people shouldn’t have one. There are always going to be individuals who would want to spread misinformation either because they want chaos, or they are ignorantly brainwashed into believing anything they read on the internet.

Common sense is sadly not common.

I have a lot of questions for pharma too. It is healthy to be critical of all institutions, but going blindly for or against in any direction is not wise nor helpful
