How the COVID-19 Vaccine Impacts Reproduction with Christina Burns
Today’s guest, Dr. Christina Burns, is the founder of Naturna, an integrative health centre dedicated to the fusion of Eastern medicine and Western science. On this mini episode, we discuss the impact of the COVID-19 vaccine on fertility and the reproductive system as a whole. Within the context of New York, Christina discusses her belief that people should have a personal choice on vaccination based on their own medical history and gives a few examples of patients who have experienced unfavorable fallout on their reproductive activity after receiving the vaccine. We touch on the murky waters of not being able to prove that the vaccine is the root cause of the miscarriages that some of her patients have experienced, and talk about how the vaccine is taxing on the body by causing inflammation. Dr. Burns urges patients to pursue their fertility efforts away from the vaccine, and closes with the truth bomb that there really is no right answer on how to navigate vaccination and fertility.
