    I love how anti-vaxers can just ascribe every single medical ailment to the vaccine.

    No one ever got sick in any way before the covid vaccine.

      Listen, I’m not saying it’s true. I’m just saying that before COVID vaccines were out I was younger. Then right afterward, I’m suddenly older now. Wtf, why would the vaccine do this

      Actually this isn’t that. It’s a rarer type of urogenital stone, like bladder or kidney stones. This type, called a Primary vaginal stone, is caused by urinary stasis. They most commonly occur in people with urethrovaginal fistulae or with unusual postraumatic or postsurgical scarring. They can also occur in people with intersex conditions due to differences in the body. The patient in this case has cerebral palsy and is paraplegic, which resulted in incontinence and leakage into the vagina and thus the formation of the stone.

      Secondary vaginal stones are more interesting, IMO, and are formed around foreign bodies like IUDs, implanted meshes, pessaries, or surgical gauze. The body sort of… Makes a pearl around the thing and tries to get rid of it. Super weird.

    Every time this week someone has mentioned illness one of my relatives has piped up with “Did they have the vax?” or “Are we sure it’s not the vax?” Yes, Jordan, we’re sure it’s not the vax now stfu.
