> Anything can affect women’s menstrual cycles [...] It's not really surprising and it's not necessarily serious.

Me: Don't make the mistake of saying fucking with menstrual cycles and covering it up isn't serious, as it will out you as someone who speaks to things they have no clue about

You: aight ima fuckin do it

Besides that all your points are "your sourced claim is in disagreement with my feelings", which is hilarious coming from the "It’s very funny to watch [people talk about their feelings with no support]" guy.

Also flagging isn't an appropriate response to "this person disagred with me in a civil way" but you do you.

another nice one for you: “oh don’t worry we totally won’t use these covid trackers to police you in completely unrelated matters” // “oh yah nah we 100% are doing that”

I didn’t flag you, I would have liked you post to stand so others could see the conversation as it was, and see you doing exactly as I predicted - ‘evidencing’ claims that you had been right all along with half-truths and contortions.

Which you’re still doing.

"Scientist talks about existing data on the original virus, conspiracy theorist uses hindsight and information from variants that didn't even exist at the time to try to paint them as malicious"

Or it might out you as someone who has no idea, because you haven't provided any evidence that such a thing is serious and has any longer term effects, and all of those other things I've mentioned can cause the same issue, yet we don't scream about how aircraft travel is evil because it can disturb menstrual cycles.

Seriously, your comment on this is about as useful as "In Before XXXX".

> Besides that all your points are "your sourced claim is in disagreement with my feelings"

Your sources don't back up you original claims that the US said "oh yeah, we totally did that". You've stitched together assertions, hyperbole and half-truths.

It's that simple. And it's utterly predictable.

You sidestepped https://mobile.twitter.com/AP/status/1606381652216893440, I'll give you some more time to come up with why people's claims that the Government would do exactly that were/are "conspiracy theories" best dismissed out-of-hand.

> "Scientist talks about existing data on the original virus, conspiracy theorist uses hindsight and information from variants that didn't even exist at the time to try to paint them as malicious"

In fact, "scientist makes bold claims they don't have the facts to back up. scientist ignores all prior data showing that vaccines don't work like that to overstates the importance of the vaccine to push their agenda that everyone should be vaccinated. scientist presents a false narrative that the vaccine for coronaviruses (such as the common cold) is a one-shot procedure. scientist conveniently forgets to mention that viruses evolve. scientist in public position knowingly lies to constituents to push their agenda. people on the internet say `this is ok, it's for my own good`."

Please do yourself a favor and talk with an actual woman about how the vaccine affected their cycle compared to airline travel. It's not even on the same page. Or, if that's too much to ask, read one of the numerous studies that institutions other than the CDC have published. If you do go down the "talking to a real woman" approach, I recommend you then tell them how the problem isn't really that serious and even though a huge number of women went out of their day to report (to the CDC) severe pains for months following the jab, it's reasonable for the CDC to leave it completely off of their "known side effect of the vaccine" page. Even better, go around on the street and make a TikTok telling women how you know best. I'd pay money to see that.
