“What I’d like to emphasize to patients is that your doctor would love to have this conversation with you to help clarify any questions or concerns you may have. Additionally, I highly encourage getting vaccinated—it will protect you and the baby.”

The following report is from Study Finds:

Google searches looking for links between the COVID-19 vaccine and claims it makes women infertile have skyrocketed thanks to a misinformation campaign online, a new study finds. Researchers with the American Osteopathic Association say anti-vaccine activists misconstrued the concerns of two doctors, leading to an astonishing 35,000% increase in Google searches about infertility and the COVID vaccine.

Misinformation is a significant threat to healthcare today and a main driver of vaccine hesitancy. We’re seeing well-intentioned research and concerns taken out of context to stoke fear and anxiety about vaccination.

Nicholas Sajjadi, a third-year osteopathic medical student at Oklahoma State University College of Osteopathic Medicine, in a media release.

Study authors say all this started after a pair of physicians submitted a petition questioning the safety and effectiveness of Pfizer’s vaccine. Doctors Wolfgang Wodarg and Michael Yeadon tried to stop the emergency use authorization for the vaccine from BioNTech and Pfizer in December 2020. In their petition, they expressed their concerns that women could have trouble conceiving a child after taking the vaccine. It’s important to note, however, that both physicians admitted in their petition that they had no evidence to support their concerns.

Misinformation Running Amok On Social Media

Using the petition as proof, the study finds anti-vaccine activists mispresented the doctors’ claims on social media. The team believes this influenced many people still waiting to get the COVID vaccine, including pregnant women and those wanting to become pregnant.

The misinformation campaign spread rapidly, even after both the European Medicines Agency and U.S. Food and Drug Administration issued the emergency use authorization. Both groups noted that the actual concerns of the petition were not strong enough to warrant delaying the vaccine rollout.

Thanks to these infertility claims however, Google searches for “infertility” jumped by 119.9%. Searches for “infertility AND vaccine” skyrocketed by 11,251% and searches for “infertility AND COVID vaccine” exploded by a staggering 34,900%.

Vaccine Recipients Are Doing Their Homework

If there is a silver lining in all of this, researchers say it’s that people are clearly doing their own research to either prove or disprove the wild claims they’re hearing about the COVID-19 vaccines.

I’m disappointed this misinformation occurred, but I am pleased to see spikes in searches because it reflects genuine interest and suggests that people are doing their research and trying to make informed decisions.

What I’d like to emphasize to patients is that your doctor would love to have this conversation with you to help clarify any questions or concerns you may have. Additionally, I highly encourage getting vaccinated—it will protect you and the baby.

J. Martin Beal, DO, an OB-GYN with Tulsa OB-GYN Associates.

Currently, the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists recommends that pregnant women who are eligible to get the COVID vaccine do so. To this point, just under 50% of the U.S. population has been fully vaccinated against COVID-19.

Dispelling misinformation and informing patients about the risks and benefits of COVID-19 vaccination, or other misrepresented claims, can save lives and slow the spread of disease. In the battle to fight misinformation, Google Trends can be an effective tool to help physicians recognize and proactively address false claims with patients.

The study appears in the Journal of Osteopathic Medicine.


AUTHOR COMMENTARY

That we henceforth be no more children, tossed to and fro, and carried about with every wind of doctrine, by the sleight of men, and cunning craftiness, whereby they lie in wait to deceive;

Ephesians 4:14

Uh, actually, no, it is not misinformation in the slightest nor is it being taken out of context. The WinePress did a report a couple of months ago citing official documents from Pfizer themselves – admitting that their death shots can in fact cause infertility, and even pass that onto others during intimacy.

Pfizer Says The Unvaccinated Can Be Exposed To The Vaccine. Affects Reproductive Systems

On top of that, that report documents more cases of blood clots and miscarriages many mothers experienced. We have reported on just a handful of them.

Ben Shapiro’s Sister Abby Suffers Miscarriage After Taking A Covid Vaccine

U.K. Miscarriages Rise 366% After Receiving Covid Vaccine

Pregnant Wisconsin Doctor Has Miscarriage Three Days After Receiving Covid Vaccine

And perhaps maybe, just maybe, more people are starting to do just a little bit of homework to see if all these horrible vaccine-related adverse events and deaths are true. Gee, maybe because:

And on, and on, and on…

So no, Beal: the baby will die or have some serious lifelong defects after taking the deathshot, you sicko!

But the fearful, and unbelieving, and the abominable, and murderers, and whoremongers, and sorcerers, and idolaters, and all liars, shall have their part in the lake which burneth with fire and brimstone: which is the second death.

Revelation 21:8

[7] Who goeth a warfare any time at his own charges? who planteth a vineyard, and eateth not of the fruit thereof? or who feedeth a flock, and eateth not of the milk of the flock? [8] Say I these things as a man? or saith not the law the same also? [9] For it is written in the law of Moses, Thou shalt not muzzle the mouth of the ox that treadeth out the corn. Doth God take care for oxen? [10] Or saith he it altogether for our sakes? For our sakes, no doubt, this is written: that he that ploweth should plow in hope; and that he that thresheth in hope should be partaker of his hope. (1 Corinthians 9:7-10).

  • Actually all vaccines are an issue for pregnant women. The first time they recommended vaccines for pregnant women was with SARS. There were many miscarriages around the world & an outcry from many doctors & advocacy groups. Whale.to used to have data & documents up (not a Christian website by a longshot…so be aware). By then most truly Christian folks in the health arena were being intimidated, sued & put out of practice, silenced in various ways including a spate of many ‘accidents’ and ‘suicides’ etc in a very short period of time, and then the new, slick, very well-bankrolled Catholic ‘alternatives’ like Ty & Charlene Bollinger, and Dr. J. Axe showed up being promoted everywhere as the ‘Christian’ voice in the wilderness. Took awhile to figure out what was going on. NVIC, the National Vaccine Information Center also transformed about then in their approach & arguments against mandatory vaccination to the ‘new’ social media propagandistic, sensationalistic, & more information lite approach.
    Had a conversation with a neighbor who was expressing concern over vaccines & her children but who thought she had to vaccinate them because ‘it was the law’, the school officials told her. It was not the law: they either lied to her face, or unwittingly repeated lies told to them. She recounted to me her concern with it was due to the fact that she was told that the flu shot she took while pregnant with her last child was safe, but that she ended up hospitalized with Influenza A, and her son is autistic. She’s no longer trusting of the medical profession to be acting in her best interest. I printed out the actual laws for our state for her from NVIC’s website. That was in the fall of 2019 we had that discussion.
    People say such things are just ‘anecdotal’ & not conclusive. But after awhile the ‘anecdotes’ pile up & you have a clear pattern unless you have a vested and/or spiritual reason not to see something.
