Bozner Institute debunks COVID-19 Vaccine Myths Regarding Fertility and Autism
Bolzano, South Tyrol – The Institute for General Medicine and Public Health in Bolzano has released a comprehensive fact check addressing widespread misinformation surrounding COVID-19 vaccination, specifically concerning fertility and the risk of autism. The findings, published today, definitively state that current scientific evidence demonstrates no adverse effects of the vaccine on reproductive health in both men and women, nor any link to autism diagnoses.
the report,spearheaded by Prof. Wiedermann,directly refutes claims that COVID-19 vaccination causes sterility. “The COVID-19 vaccination does not affect fertility - neither in women nor men.This applies to natural pregnancies and assisted reproductive methods. Who plans to get a child does not have to worry about the vaccination,” Prof. Wiedermann stated.Studies examining women undergoing both natural conception and artificial fertilization show no impact on egg base function,egg quality,fertilization rates,or pregnancy opportunities,with miscarriage rates remaining consistent between vaccinated and unvaccinated individuals.
Addressing another prevalent myth, the Institute’s research confirms the long-discredited notion of a link between vaccines and autism is scientifically unfounded. Prof.Wiedermann explained, “The claim that Covid-19 vaccines could cause autism is scientifically unfounded.It ties in with long-refuted vaccination myths, for which there is neither biological nor epidemiological evidence.” Large-scale studies, statistical analyses, and patient interviews from numerous countries consistently demonstrate no increase in autism diagnoses following COVID-19 vaccination. Drug safety monitoring systems also support these findings.
While acknowledging gaps in long-term data, particularly regarding vaccination in children and during the first trimester of pregnancy, the institute emphasizes these gaps do not indicate inherent risks. The report concludes by urging individuals,especially those planning families,who are pregnant,or breastfeeding,to approach COVID-19 vaccination with confidence,citing the proven benefits and robust safety data. The Institute advocates for science-based health dialog to dispel unfounded fears and encourage vaccination during these sensitive life stages.
