       | This is the issue with misinformation, its usually based on a
       | legitimate concern that was suppressed instead of answered; There
       | was an issue with a protein in placental? tissue being similar to
       | the spike protein, this is why the vaccine isn't recommended for
       | pregnant women unless they are at high risk.
       | 
       | Now the layman knows the spike teaches the immune system what to
       | attack, and puts two and two together, and assumes the vaccine
       | will make all women sterile. I would love to put this argument
       | down when i see it, but no one has explained why this isn't the
       | case.. so I'm left with "surly they wouldn't do that" which is
       | not a compelling argument.
