A new study published in the International Journal of Vaccine Theory, Practice and Research suggests that vaccine shedding may potentially cause menstrual abnormalities in unvaccinated women who are in close proximity to COVID-19 vaccinated individuals.

The McCullough Foundation wrote on X, “The study found that women with daily close proximity (within 6 feet) to vaccinated individuals outside their household had a 34% higher risk of heavier bleeding, a 28% higher risk of menstruation starting over 7 days early, and a 26% higher risk of bleeding lasting more than 7 days.”

The study authors stated, “Our findings suggest possible indirect transmission of ingredients or products of the COVID-19 vaccines, presumably through shedding, from people who received one or more of the COVID-19 injections.”

Dr. Pierre Kory, a Front Line COVID-19 Critical Care Alliance founder, appeared on The HighWire last year and discussed events that he believes are evidence of vaccine shedding. During that interview, Dr. Kory referred to a study that showed a higher mortality rate for unvaccinated children when their parents were vaccinated for COVID-19.

Dr. Kory posted on X in response to the latest study. He wrote, “The most puzzling thing we’ve seen with the vaccine is its ability to “shed” and harm those who never got it. A peer-reviewed study just validated the thousands of shedding reports sent to us.”

Dr. Kory states on his Substack that he collaborated with A Midwestern Doctor to gather anecdotes of viral shedding from the COVID-19 vaccine. Dr. Kory addressed concerns that anecdotes are not valid data. He said, “Now, if you have an issue with the research method of collecting hundreds of clinical anecdotes volunteered by affected persons then so be it. One anecdote is one anecdote. A thousand anecdotes is called… data. I am sure my readers are aware that the ongoing war of information prevents proper study of and dissemination of information about such a serious topic (i.e., censorship and propaganda via the media, agencies, government, tech companies, and especially…the medical journals).”

The Substack post that Dr. Kory links to by A Midwestern Doctor describes the three types of patients that are “susceptible to shedding.” This includes: 1: Sensitive patients, 2: “Patients who have been sensitized to the spike protein due to a previous vaccine injury or having long COVID,” 3: “People who cannot effectively produce antibodies to the spike protein.”

Dr. Kory said he had known about this study for over a year but was not aware of the findings. According to one of the study’s authors, a medical journal “held it captive” for more than a year before deciding not to publish it. The unnamed study author, quoted by Dr. Kory, said the study shows “significant circumstantial evidence that something is being shed from the COVID-19 vaccinated population to the unvaccinated population.”

The author also states, “After more than a year of censorship from the medical journals, our landmark study and manuscript has been published demonstrating significant circumstantial evidence that something is being shed from the COVID-19 vaccinated population to the unvaccinated population. It is far beyond time for these toxic injections to be withdrawn from the market.”

The authors emphasize that the FDA said shedding studies should be done on all “gene therapy products,” but no shedding studies were completed for the COVID-19 mRNA vaccines.

Six thousand forty-nine people participated in the study. Three thousand three hundred ninety of the participants had never been vaccinated from COVID-19 and they did not have symptoms of COVID-19 infection or a positive test. This cohort had the same level of menstrual irregularities as the 798 vaccinated individuals in the study.

In his review of the latest study,  Dr. Kory said there are many studies showing a massive increase in menstrual irregularities following direct COVID-19 vaccination. He wrote, “Of the folks who reported being exposed within 6 feet, 71.7% had irregular menstrual symptoms within one week and 50.1% had irregular menstrual symptoms within ≤3 days after exposure.”

 

Brian Hooker, one of the authors of the study, added on X that 92.3% of the women in the study started having menstrual irregularities after the vaccine rollout in 2021. He said, “Coincidence? I think not.”

The authors of the study say this research suggests that the FDA should conduct shedding studies for all current and future gene therapy products, which would follow the guidance outlined by the FDA in 2015.

Dr. Kory’s Substack post concludes with his own breakdown of the COVID-19 vaccine, shedding evidence along with a call to stop the mRNA vaccine campaign. Dr. Kory doesn’t outright call for the end of mRNA pharmaceutical products but does suggest they should go through a more rigid safety testing protocol. Dr. Kory said the shedding of the mRNA COVID-19 vaccines represents a violation of informed consent and bodily autonomy. He said the FDA should require shedding studies and have the results publicly available.

Dr. Kory’s research includes information from federal regulatory documents, a scientific literature review of nanoparticle and gene therapy technology, along with published clinical studies and reports. Dr. Kory said they also have more than 1,000 clinical case testimonials and many of them support the hypothesis that spike protein shedding from vaccinated individuals to others is occurring.

In January, Florida Surgeon General Dr. Joseph Ladapo called for an end to the use of all mRNA COVID-19 vaccines on the market for the FDA’s failure to test for DNA integration. Dr. Ladapo has appeared on The HighWire in 2022 and 2023 to discuss the mistakes of the federal health agencies and concerns regarding the COVID-19 mRNA vaccines.
