Dr. Anthony Fauci’s recent comments on menstrual irregularities have met with serious rebuttal from gynecologists, who say the COVID-19 vaccines shouldn’t have been administered without adequate safety testing, especially on pregnant women.

“The menstrual thing is something that seems to be quite transient and temporary,” Fauci told Fox News on July 25, when asked about the effect of the vaccines on menstrual cycles.
