CHAMPAIGN — A new analysis of reports from more than 35,000 people offers the most comprehensive assessment so far of menstrual changes experienced by pre- and post-menopausal individuals in the first two weeks after receiving the COVID-19 vaccine. Published in the journal Science Advances, the study adds to the evidence that significant numbers of people experience this unexpected side effect. “Menstruating and formerly menstruating people began sharing that they experienced unexpected bleeding after being administered a COVID-19 vaccine in early 2021,” the scientists who led the study wrote. Because vaccine trials typically do not ask about menstrual cycles or bleeding, this side effect was largely ignored or dismissed.

This photo was taken on Jan. 31, 2018, at My Just Desserts Alton, LLC with Yvonne Campbell. I just recently found out that she passed away from a car accident while on vacation in Jamaica.

Yvonne had a Dream of owning the place she was “just the pie baker” at called My Just Desserts. She poured her heart and soul into every pie she made.

Well after years of hard work, Dreaming and Doing, Yvonne became an Entrepreneur. I’ll never forget her EXCITEMENT and JOY that day in that picture. A DREAM COMING TRUE. Such a special moment to share with anyone. So many people's Dreams die in their Hearts, Heads, or Hard Drives. Not Yvonnes Dreams. She
