Another message doing the rounds on social media in 2020 and 2021 was that Covid vaccines would cause infertility. This was sometimes backed up by a quasi-scientific-sounding claim, that the Covid-19 spike protein was similar to a protein found on the placenta, and that antibodies against the spike protein would therefore also attack the placenta, resulting in infertility. There were no grounds for this claim. To think through its implications, if it were true, any woman infected with SARS-CoV-2 would develop antibodies to the spike protein and become infertile. This has not happened. There are also four other coronaviruses that infect humans, circulating mainly in the winter months, each with their own spike protein. There is no evidence that infection with these seasonal coronaviruses results in infertility.

Dann nehme ich ihm das auch ab und kann mich damit arrangieren. Aber wenn aus der Nummer so 'ne Kampagne gemacht wird, die Leute Impfpersonal bedrohen und grundsätzlich aggressiv gegen Impfen geworben wird, dann hat das mit einer persönlichen Entscheidung nichts mehr zu tun. /13

Hey, Liebe Impfgegner:in...

But in a clinch, you lot would rather watch someone suffer untold horrors than watch them enjoy so much as a cool drink if you don’t have two of your own, and yours have cherries in them as well as more ice and little paper umbrellas, and even then most of you would still prefer to take theirs and have three.
