Nobody knows. There's only been 30,000 reports related to it post vaccination, but that'd be a conspiracy theory right?

Your immune system isnt related to fertility so vaccines have no effect on fertility, there are no cases on this in any medical publications - covid-19 appears to be affecting the erectile function in some men though.

'Life and limb procedures only': Alberta Children’s Hospital to close 75 per cent of operating rooms by Monday

Alberta Children’s Hospital is planning to shutter 75 per cent of its operating rooms by next week due to strain from COVID-19.

Alberta Children’s Hospital is planning to shutter 75 per cent of its operating rooms by next week due to strain from the fourth wave of COVID-19. The documents show Level 4 is the highest alert level in the Alberta Health Services pandemic plan. It results in a 60 to 75 per cent reduction in all activity, with “life and limb procedures only” being conducted.

Moving to Level 4 creates the potential for “increased morbidity and mortality” because of the delay in required surgical treatment for cancer as well as neurological, cardiac and spine issues, according to one document. The hospital will have three of its eight operating rooms open Friday and only two of eight open Monday, according to the documents, with doctors being asked to instead work in ICUs.

Alberta hospitals are grappling with the fourth wave of COVID-19, with twice as many hospitalizations as Ontario, despite having only one-third of that province’s population.

As of Wednesday, 91 per cent of Alberta’s COVID-19 patients in ICUs were unvaccinated.

The vast majority of COVID-19 cases that require hospitalization are in adults, but the strain on the system means children that need care for other health issues will now have care delayed.

Speaking to reporters at an afternoon briefing, AHS president and CEO Dr. Verna Yiu said all non-urgent surgeries are being cancelled across Alberta.

What's going on with GP's in this country is an actual disgrace.

I believe the 30,000 refers to women reporting irregularities with their menstrual cycles, but nothing to do with fertility per se.

Where did you see this? Is it just for UK residents, or foreign nationals as well? I'm planning to fly over to the UK in early November, and was under the understanding that I had to have a negative test prior to departure and one within 72 hours of arrival, which could supposedly all be easily arranged through my airline. I certainly don't mind to do the tests, but if they're about to scrap it, perhaps I should hold off on ordering the tests and maybe save myself a couple hundred dollars.

This guy is a worthwhile follow for UK Covid travel info

3000 anti vax lunatics suspended from the health service in France.

How can you be on the front line in a pandemic and be anti vax? Mental.

The same needs to happen in the UK for all NHS staff and carehome staff too.

100% agree. Its bordering on the insane that any supposedly qualified health care professional would refuse a vaccine without specific individual medical advice to the contrary.
