And now to a question that concerns roughly half of the worlds Adult Population does the covey vaccination have an effect on menstruation . According to a new study, the answer is yes. D w report to hang when lee talks to one of the studies or says stop to Catherine Lee of Washington University in saint louis high, totally. So, according to you study how to convert vaccination affect peoples menstruation, what were the major findings . Our study took place as an online survey. And what we found in our survey, which i should point out, is not representative of the general population because people could opt in to our survey. But what we found was of around 40 percent of people experienced a heavier period after one or both of their coven vaccines. Around 40 percent, i had no difference in the heaviness of their bleeding. And the remainder of people were about the same or maybe slightly lighter. How about people who do not usually menstruate, for example, post menopausal women, or people on gender affirming homes. We also asked and well, who normally wouldnt have it here yet for any number of reasons, including line acting, reversible contraceptives like i, u. D. s that suppressed bleeding. And people who are on gender affirming hormones. A lot of those folks noticed that they had breakthrough bleeding. And the 3rd group that we really focus on in this paper is the experiences of post menopausal people. So people who are at least 12 months past, normally having a period who noticed that they had breakthrough bleeding after getting their covet vaccine. So what is the mechanism causing these changes . Of course, we have our hypotheses and we, what we think is happening is that the vaccine is making this big immune response. Thats why the vaccine is so incredibly effective. This is involving a lot of inflammatory processes as well. And we know that the uterus is already an important unit, oregon. It uses these inflammatory processes as part of the signaling for growing and shedding every month. And so its not unreasonable to think that an immune response that involves a lot of inflammatory processes might disturb, in some people, these inflammatory processes for a, you know, a couple of cycles after the vaccine and what changes temporary ongoing. So we have just closed a followup survey that actually asks about this, that asked how many periods are for how many months people noticed any changes. We have not start to analyze that data yet. But anecdotally, but we suspect is that for most people, its just 2 or 3 periods that theyre noticing this. I would suggest if anyone is very worried, theyre bleeding a lot or its going on for much longer. They see their doctor because theres probably Something Else going on that is not just inflammatory response that we think is happening for some people at the vaccine. Thanks a lot. What would you like to know about k vetting off science correspondent Derek Williams has been low. Down on the latest research and analysis. Just writing, coven produce at at d w delcom. This week we received a question from maria abdulla robledo. Are there any risks for pregnant women who get vaccinated . Its really great for a change to talk about something where experts are in such broad agreement to start with. Lets maybe approach this question from the flip side, and instead of asking whether there are risks to being vaccinated when youre pregnant, lets ask what the risks are if you arent vaccinated, and there are all the evidence is really pretty unequivocal. Many studies have shown that if they catch coven 19 while theyre pregnant, unvaccinated women are a lot more likely to have severe outcomes than vaccinated. Women are at this point, almost everyone agrees that getting the disease and having none of the immunity provided by vaccines. That, that compose a major threat to, to both mother and feed us. Thats why, when it comes to coven, 19 most Health Care Authorities now view pregnant women as a vulnerable group. But are there threats lurking in the background adverse effects that may be occur more frequently . Or, or dangers. Thats proven trickier to quantify because pregnancy is an inherently risky proposition, even before the advent of coven vaccines. Miscarriages, for example, occurred about 10 to 20 percent of the time, all on their own. And women who knew that they were pregnant. But all the data that we have so far involving pregnancy and vaccination, and its a lot doesnt show an increase in that metric, like everyone pregnant women can and do experience mostly minor side effects after receiving vaccines. But according to the World Health Organization, many pregnant women all over the world have now been vaccinated against stars. Covey too. And there have been no worrisome signs that it has affected either their health or that of their babies. In fact, the opposite could actually be true. There are some studies indicating that the anti bodies that pregnant women produce after vaccination, that they not only help protect the fetus from infection with the corona virus during the pregnancy, but also after birth. And a fairly small one sided on the cdc website, for instance, it tracked levels of anti bodies in infants. 6 months after they were born and it found that the children of women whod been vaccinated against cove at 19 during their pregnancy that they appeared to be even better protected from the disease than the children of women who were infected with covered 19 during their pregnancy. Many questions remain open, of course, but the advice has, has really evolved and its now pretty unanimous among Health Care Authorities. If a pregnant woman hasnt been vaccinated yet, they say, then she should definitely take the step. Ah, a lack of prospects in their own country is driving people around the world to look for work elsewhere. After some time in chile, a young mother from venezuela has been stranded in a town in northern spain. But he had to almost a 3rd of the population is threatened by poverty lease cassandra vow never thought she would have to cue to meet her and her babies basic needs.

A recent Human Rights Watch report denounces the administrations failure to protect the most vulnerable people, working hospitality industry, single parents, older people on state pensions really suffer during the pandemic. As a result of the economic shock, those people found themselves in a situation where they desperately needed a state assistance to Social Security system. And that assistance was very, very slow, and coming was very difficult to reach. At the start of the pandemic, the spanish government, like other countries, expanded existing unemployment support programs. But the furlough support left out people working in the informal economy had did not adequately cover those working seasonally or paid in part under the table. Another essential step was fast tracking the introduction of the minimum vital income of social Assistance Program introduced in may 2020 but its only reached 9 percent of the People Living at risk of poverty. Its a basic, very, very basic low level social assistance scheme for people who havent contributed to Social Security systems. And what it does is it gives a very modest, actually a tiny amount of Financial Assistance to people between 450. 00 to a 1000 euros a month. What people found, as they tried to apply for support through the system was a series of difficulties. First, in trying to apply in trying to document their need in the way the system calculated that their level of need. It was a good system at some level, but it really failed on a number of bureaucratic levels. And in terms of implementation, spain is a relatively commer among European Countries in having a nation wide social Assistance Program. The experts agree.
