It's been a while since there was last news about menstruation and vaccines. While this article is nominally about unexpected bleeding among non-menstruating women, this is marked substantiation that there is an effect. Apparently the EMA added the side effect of heavy menstrual bleeding to the mRNA insert back in October 2022, but the cause is still unknown.

"Unexpected vaginal bleeding and COVID-19 vaccination in nonmenstruating women"

https://www.science.org/doi/10.1126/sciadv.adg1391 posted:

Abstract
The association between coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) vaccination and vaginal bleeding among nonmenstruating women is not well studied. The Norwegian Institute of Public Health followed several cohorts throughout the pandemic and early performed a systematic data collection of self-reported unexpected vaginal bleeding in nonmenstruating women. Among 7725 postmenopausal women, 7148 perimenopausal women, and 7052 premenopausal women, 3.3, 14.1, and 13.1% experienced unexpected vaginal bleeding during a period of 8 to 9 months, respectively. In postmenopausal women, the risk of unexpected vaginal bleeding (i.e., postmenopausal bleeding) in the 4 weeks after COVID-19 vaccination was increased two- to threefold, compared to a prevaccination period. The corresponding risk of unexpected vaginal bleeding after vaccination was increased three- to fivefold in both nonmenstruating peri- and premenopausal women. In the premenopausal women, Spikevax was associated with at 32% increased risk as compared to Comirnaty. Our results must be confirmed in future studies.

Article on the matter:

https://www.nature.com/articles/d41586-023-02996-6 posted:

COVID vaccines linked to unexpected vaginal bleeding
A large cohort study measured how frequently women reported bleeding after receiving COVID-19 jabs.
(..)
Widespread effect
The team looked at more than 21,000 responses from postmenopausal, perimenopausal and non-menstruating premenopausal women � including some who were on long-term hormonal contraceptives.

The results were surprising, says Blix. They found that 252 postmenopausal women, 1,008 perimenopausal women and 924 premenopausal women reported experiencing unexpected vaginal bleeding.

Of these, roughly half of each group said that the bleeding came in the four weeks after the first or second vaccine dose, or both. Premenopausal and perimenopausal women were most likely to report unexpected bleeding in the month after the vaccine, with their risk being three to five times as high as before the vaccinations existed. The risk for postmenopausal women increased by two- to threefold.

Norway used the mRNA jabs made by Moderna and Pfizer�BioNTech, and other vaccines including the one made by AstraZeneca. In October 2022, the European Medicines Agency updated the side-effect information of mRNA vaccines to include heavy menstrual bleeding.

Unexpected bleeding after menopause is usually considered medically serious, and could be an early sign of conditions including endometrial carcinoma and precancerous lesions. Although the cause of the post-vaccination bleeding isn�t clear, if it�s a known side-effect of the shots, physicians can take this into account when evaluating a patient�s condition. �Postmenopausal bleeding is often very concerning and a possible sign of cancer. Knowing a patient�s vaccination status could put their bleeding incidence into context, � says Kate Clancy, a biological anthropologist at the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign.

Clancy�s group has published results2 of their own survey showing changes in menstrual bleeding after COVID-19 vaccination. She says that the results align with her team�s findings and could help to inform patients and clinicians.

�The most important contribution of this and other documentation will be that female bleeding patterns are included as end points, or monitored, in clinical trials of new vaccines � and perhaps even drug trials,� says Blix.

�Hooray for another group looking at peri- and postmenopausal people!� says Clancy. �I�m so glad to see more attention on a very underserved group.�

Some EU vaccine news. Basically it is uncertain if only Pfizer will be available. Moderna's contract has expired, Novavax expires end-of-year, while Pfizer's delivery contract has been extended to 2027.

https://www.politico.eu/article/eu-mrna-covid-19-vaccines-tender-health/ posted:

Europe drawing up years-long mRNA COVID vaccines tender
Multiple countries have confirmed interest to start talks but timing is now paramount for winter.

The European Commission is drawing up plans for a tender for mRNA COVID-19 vaccines, according to people close to the discussions � but it�s unclear if doses will be secured in time for this winter.

Several countries have confirmed to POLITICO that a tender for the joint procurement of COVID-19 mRNA vaccines is being discussed. This contract would run from 2023 through 2026 and would be the first joint procurement of COVID-19 vaccines outside of the pandemic.
(..)
Currently, Pfizer/BioNTech is the only mRNA vaccine maker still to hold a valid contract. But the Commission�s controversial decision to lock in 1.1 billion doses of their jab effectively excluded other players from the market, a situation made worse after the deal was renegotiated to spread deliveries into 2027.
(..)
Diversifying vaccine portfolios
Earlier this month, CEO St�phane Bancel, said that adding Moderna�s new XBB.1.5-targeted vaccine to immunization programs would �ensure a diversified portfolio that provides vaccine choice and access to single dose vial formats, which can limit waste." Moderna's previous EU contract expired in early 2023.

On Thursday, Emer Cooke, head of the European Medicines Agency, reiterated the need for countries to have a diverse portfolio of COVID-19 vaccines. This �really gives the opportunities for health care systems to choose what works best in their own environment,� she said. That includes a �range of different vaccines � mRNA, protein-based � that provide the European population with the greatest choice and options that we can,� she added.

Experts have called out the need to ensure supply chain resiliency through multiple vaccine manufacturers.

Novavax has a protein-based COVID-19 vaccine and is expecting an EU decision on its XBB.1.5 updated shot the week of October 9. The vaccine will be available to EU countries through its existing EU contract but this will expire by the end of the year, a spokesperson told POLITICO.

The European Commission, HERA and the countries have not confirmed if further COVID-19 vaccine tendering processes are in the works.

NYT piece on post-infection fatigue and how to combat it, largely mirroring the standard advice dispensed itt. Let your body rest, start slow and monitor progress. Do not force it.

https://www.nytimes.com/2023/09/27/well/live/covid-symptoms-fatigue.html posted:

The Mystery Around Covid Fatigue
Here�s what we�re learning about this debilitating symptom and how to manage it.

Of all the classic Covid symptoms (the dry cough, the stinging throat, the achiness), fatigue may be one of the most debilitating, persistent and confounding.
(..)
But it�s somewhat of a mystery why some people experience really intense fatigue during an infection � the kind that leaves them flattened on the couch, unable to even watch T.V. or heat up soup � while others merely feel drained. It�s also not yet clear why extreme fatigue persists in some people months after they test negative, a hallmark of long Covid.
(..)
Why Covid might cause fatigue
One hypothesis for why people can feel so exhausted is that Covid may disrupt the mitochondria � what Dr. Peter Chin-Hong, an infectious disease specialist at the University of California, San Francisco, calls the Energizer bunnies of our cells. Mitochondrial dysfunction can slow down the body, he said, and this can last beyond the acute phase of an infection.

Sleep disturbances may also contribute to overall fatigue during and after an infection, as Covid makes it harder to get a good night�s rest.

Another theory, specifically related to long Covid, is that the virus may linger in the body even after someone tests negative, Dr. Al-Aly said. After an infection clears, the body should flip an �off switch,� he said, signaling that it no longer needs to fight off the virus. But in people with long Covid, he said, the body stays in defense mode, continuing to conserve energy.

New research published Monday points to an additional potential cause: People with long Covid seem to have significantly less morning cortisol, the hormone that gets you �up and going� when you wake up, Dr. Chin-Hong said. Cortisol deficiency, in general, can lead to fatigue.

Researchers are still trying to untangle why some people develop long Covid and not others. �That�s really the great puzzle,� Dr. Al-Aly said.

Potential remedies
There is no established protocol yet for resolving fatigue, but �The basic rule is rest,� Dr. Al-Aly said. �You don�t want to fight it.�

During an active infection, listen to your body: Take it easy as much as possible and make sure you are adequately replenishing fluids.

If intense fatigue persists for more than 30 days after you test negative, Dr. Al-Aly advised talking to your primary care doctor sooner rather than later to figure out a course of action.

For people with long Covid, getting enough sleep is vital, said Dr. Fernando Carnavali, site director of the Center for Post-Covid Care at Mount Sinai Doctors, Ansonia. Fragmented or insufficient sleep can exacerbate exhaustion. It is important to follow the fundamentals of sleep hygiene: Try to fall asleep and wake up at consistent hours, keep your bedroom dark and cool, avoid alcohol too close to bedtime and carve out time to unwind before you shut your eyes.

People with fatigue related to long Covid should also be careful about exercise, Dr. Carnavali said, starting slow and very gradually building back exercise tolerance.

If you are struggling with fatigue, recognize that you may have a new baseline, Dr. Carnavali said. He advises his long Covid patients to keep a journal over a two-week period to track how they feel after doing everyday activities � maybe a wave of fatigue hits after dinner with friends, or you find it difficult to read for an hour. Understanding these correlations can help prevent you from pushing yourself too hard. Dr. Carnavali also said reframing is important: �I cannot do 10 miles; I will do half of that. I cannot do dishes for half an hour; I will do them for five minutes.�

�You have to define new baselines in order to adapt,� he said. The extreme fatigue associated with long Covid �may go away � some people are getting better, and this is just great to see,� he said.

But �There are new patients every week,� he added.

I actually think the advice generally given itt is better, as it is more concrete, but I'll take it :shrug:

Cool piece on the COVID nerds (not the type of article meaningfully cut, so just an excerpt, but the whole thing is interesting):

https://www.theguardian.com/world/2023/sep/27/covid-hunters-amateur-sleuths-tracking-virus-variants-coronavirus posted:

Covid hunters: the amateur sleuths tracking the virus and its variants
How a schoolteacher and a dog educator became crucial to the global fight against coronavirus

At the onset of the Covid-19 pandemic, the fight against the disease was described by heads of government and public health bosses on primetime television.

Countries would receive daily updates collated from data that had been analysed by the world-leading virologists and academics.

But three years later, the pandemic�s trajectory is becoming more difficult to predict � and decision-makers are increasingly reliant on the warnings of a diverse bunch of independent researchers.

This week, Ryan Hisner, a teacher from Indiana, US, was listed alongside various academic co-authors on a paper in Nature, describing how the antiviral drug molnupiravir used to treat patients with Covid-19 may be fuelling the evolution of new variants by creating a specific set of mutations.

The first of these mutated variants was identified by another amateur virus hunter � Nick Rose, 27, a software engineer from Wisconsin. While it is not clear whether such mutations help the virus to tolerate the drug, the findings could have implications for how antivirals are deployed, scientists say.

In common with other self-taught Covid sleuths, Hisner has no formal education in virology � just a knack for spotting patterns and the motivation to wade through reams of genetic data each day. Now with several years of experience under their belts, experts argue that such individuals have become a crucial component of global virus surveillance.

I can remember a time where getting sick on a monthly basis would get the gossip going "they're sickly, poor them" but nowadays it's just a total normal thing to happen, in fact they will just start sharing about the time they were sick last (never heard anyone said it was more than a year ago).

My guess is that the stock is being heavily shorted because the bubble around Covid-related stocks burst a while back. Moderna hit around $400 a share back around Delta, (or Omicron) I think. But after the vax mandates were lifted, governments ditched most public health measures, and people returned to 'normal' there just isn't the same demand and massive guaranteed government contracts that existed previously. Moderna's stock is now at ~$99.

Even if Novavax gets their vax approved, it's not going to be the big money maker for the company that it would have been in late 2020/2021. The stock market is generally forward looking for biotech stocks and outside of the Covid vaccine candidates, the rest of their pipeline isn't that impressive: influenza vaccine and malaria vaccine in stage 2. Depending on how much cash they have on hand/need to raise funds/ etc. it makes sense for it to be shorted to hell. But :capitalism:

That's my guess on it all, anyways.
