The Claim
A section of a video published on a website named Frank speed website on February 6, 2023, under the title “The Absolute Truth Interview with: Dr. Naomi Wolf – CEO of Dailyclout.io.” at 13 minutes says, “In the Orthodox [Jewish] community … unvaccinated women are talking to their rabbis because having intercourse with their vaccinated husbands is so agonizing to them, giving them horrible menstrual cramps, terrible menstrual cramps. In fact, the Pfizer documents show … that women are exposed to it from vaccinated men through sexual intercourse.”
Fact Check
Can sexual intercourse with a COVID- vaccinated man cause menstrual problems in an unvaccinated woman?
There is no evidence to suggest that sexual intercourse with a vaccinated person can cause menstrual problems in an unvaccinated person. Furthermore, there is currently no evidence to suggest that the COVID-19 vaccine can be transmitted through body fluids such as semen, vaginal secretions, or breast milk. The vaccines do not contain the live virus that causes COVID-19 and does not cause a person to test positive for the virus after being vaccinated.
Additionally, the vaccines have undergone rigorous testing to ensure their safety and efficacy, and they have been shown to be highly effective at preventing COVID-19.

It is important to note that the menstrual cycle is influenced by many factors, including stress, illness, changes in weight or lifestyle, and hormonal imbalances. If a woman is experiencing changes to her menstrual cycle, it is recommended that she speak to her healthcare provider, who can help determine the cause of the changes and provide appropriate medical advice.
Additionally, it is important to follow recommendations from public health authorities to reduce the transmission of COVID-19, regardless of vaccination status. This includes wearing masks, practicing good hand hygiene, and following social distancing guidelines, especially when in close contact with others outside of your household.
Can a woman experience any menstrual changes after getting COVID vaccination?
It is possible. There have been some reports of women experiencing changes in their menstrual cycle after receiving the COVID-19 vaccine, but it is unclear if the vaccine is directly responsible for these changes. The changes most likely shouldn’t be of concern and are temporary only. The menstrual cycle can be influenced by various factors, including stress, illness, and changes in weight or lifestyle, thus it is difficult to determine the exact cause of any changes.
That being said, clinical trials and researches of the COVID-19 vaccines have not shown a direct link between the vaccines and changes in menstrual cycles, therefore, should be further studied.
If you are concerned about changes to your menstrual cycle after receiving the COVID-19 vaccine, you should speak to your healthcare provider. They can help you determine the cause of any changes and provide appropriate medical advice.
