What's the base rate?

Correlation is not causation. If you vaccinate enough people than "side effects" are just natural occurrences.

I was told in Sex Ed that women's periods were not guaranteed to be regular.

From the info in the article alone, it's impossible to tell if this is even a correlation at all. I don't know what the expected number of reports would be for a given year, and if 30k is higher or lower than that.

> If a link between vaccination and menstrual changes is confirmed

Even the wording in the article stops short of claiming there is evidence for any link. It's just a bad headline.
