(NEW YORK) A new study on pregnant people and COVID-19 vaccines is adding to the growing body of evidence showing the vaccine is safe during pregnancy.
Researchers at Northwestern University studying people who had been fully vaccinated during pregnancy, found the vaccine had no impact on pregnancy and no impact on fertility, menstruation and puberty.
The study, published May 11 in the journal Obstetrics & Gynecology, is believed to be the first to examine the impact of the COVID-19 vaccines on the placenta, according to the university.
“At this point, as we’re collecting data, the news is reassuring that this vaccine is safe, both based on its biology and what we’re actually seeing in the real world,” said Dr. Jennifer Ashton, ABC News chief medical correspondent and a board-certified OBGYN.

But for some people, consistent difficulty having an orgasm can become a real issue that affects how they feel both physically and mentally when it comes to sex. If you never reach climax but would like to, then you may have a condition called anorgasmia. That might

False claims that Covid-19 vaccines can cause infertility are discouraging Americans from receiving the shots and leaving health professionals to persuade patients that scare stories they have read online are unfounded.
Among the worst examples of such misinformation spread on Facebook are that immunized men can render unvaccinated women sterile through sex, that 97 percent of vaccine recipients will become infertile and that the jabs could be sterilizing an entire generation.
FACT: There are close to two-hundred anti-LGBTQ bills in state legislatures across the country that are currently under consideration. 93 of those bills directly target the lives of transgender and gender-nonconforming people (those whose gender identity does not align with their sex assigned at birth).

It’s only April, yet already in 2021 more than thirty states have introduced anti-trans laws that endanger the lives of trans youth. Idaho, Tennessee, South Carolina, and South Dakota proposed anti-trans bills that would prevent transgender students from participating in girls sports teams in middle and high school [2]; North Carolina lawmakers introduced a bill last week that would prohibit gender-affirming surgeries to youth up to 21 years of age [3].
