And they did this on the day that US has suspended use of the J&J vaccine coz of unusual blot clots in one group: WOMEN of pre-menopausal age.

Males & females mount very different responses to all vaccines. Because of our greater immune function, girls & women tend to suffer more negative "side effects'" & "adverse events" from vaccines.

I wonder if the person administering the vaccine will make a little, secret note about biological sex on the form when the gender speshul is not looking, because yes, this is going to really screw up our ability to respond to the COVID pandemic.

It also turns out that in aggregate, women have had worse bodily responses to the vaccine than men do, with more women than men experiencing side effects and nearly all the life-threatening anaphylactic reactions, although rare, occurring in women. The Times cites a study revealing that over nearly 30 years, women have made up 80 percent of all anaphylactic vaccine reactions among adults.

“[T]he higher rate of side effects in women also has a biological explanation,” the article says. While testosterone can weaken a body’s immune response, estrogen can galvanize it. “Additionally, many immune-related genes are on the X chromosome, of which women have two copies and men have only one,” the Times declares. “These differences may help explain why far more women than men are afflicted with autoimmune disease, which occurs when a robust immune response attacks the body’s healthy tissue.”

Here, the Times isn’t shy about making sex distinctions. It’s right there in the science: Men and women are obviously different in myriad ways, with immune and vaccine reactions just being the latest in the spotlight.

This is true with a lot of drugs. For example, girls & women who get immunoglobulins infusions for primary immune deficiency diseases have much worse reactions than males do. Severe allergic reactions as well as aseptic meningitis. But for years the complaints & wellbeing of patients who had these reactions were not taken seriously coz males who got the same treatment were doing just fine.

If you want to be deluded, be deluded. But take personality responsibility for when your medication doesn't work as intended.

Yeah, but the gender people have no right to screw up accurate information on a global pandemic that's already killed millions.

What will it take for normal people to wake up to this insanity? (Although I do think it's happening in the US, thanks to the Republicans)

CVS played the game, used the approved terminology and it wasn't enough. It's never enough.
