An American scientist claims that Covid-19 vaccines pose safety concerns, including sterilization and changes to DNA, in remarks shared on social media. But experts and public health bodies say there is no evidence that mRNA shots are causing reproductive problems, and are not modifying the genes of recipients.
“Molecular Biologist Dr. Janci Chunn Lindsay: ‘We could be Sterilizing an Entire Generation,’” warns the title of a Bitchute video viewed more than 8,000 times.
It includes audio and a transcript of remarks made during the April 23, 2021 public comments section during a meeting of the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices (ACIP) by Dr Janci Chunn Lindsay, who confirmed to AFP she was the speaker.
This has become a record-breaking year for anti-trans legislation, with over 100 bills introduced in state legislatures across the country. Most of the legislation being debated targets transgender children, with over 30 bills intended to deny trans kids lifesaving gender-affirming medical care and over 60 bills intended to deny trans children the ability to participate in sports. With these laws passing in states across the country, we have to take a stand and let trans youth know they are not alone. Trans kids need to be told again and again that they are supported, loved, and celebrated, especially when legislators attempt to use them for political gain, stripping their rights and enacting serious damage in the process.

Covid-19 vaccines and infertility
Even with 330 million Covid-19 shots in arms and 114 million people fully and safely vaccinated, many folks are still hesitant to get a jab. Among the reasons? Misinformation on social media and elsewhere that the vaccine may cause infertility or bad pregnancy outcomes.

Despite the experts all agreeing that the vaccine is safe for women who are pregnant or wanting to get pregnant, people still have questions. Here s what you need to know about Covid-19 vaccines and infertility.
