New research shows the Pfizer and Moderna COVID-19 vaccines do not reduce the likelihood of becoming pregnant, adding even more evidence against one of the most pervasive myths cited by people who are hesitant or unwilling to get vaccinated.

The research, published Tuesday in the journal Obstetrics and Gynecology — one of the premier medical journals covering birth-related medicine — followed almost 3,000 people undergoing in vitro fertilization.

The researchers identified almost 440 people who were fully vaccinated against the virus with a Pfizer or Moderna vaccine who completed in vitro treatment during the study period, which lasted from February to September 2021. About 1,740 completed the in vitro fertilization process and were completely unvaccinated.

The findings were overwhelming. The study found that the vaccine did not impact a patient’s ability to conceive or affect the health of the pregnancy, even after controlling for any variation in age or health between patients. While the study followed IVF patients, the authors said its findings can be applied to anyone trying to get pregnant or who has recently become pregnant.

1. Not getting vaccinated increases the odds of infertility.

I don't know of a woman able to get pregnant or a man getting a woman pregnant. When they are dead.
