"I was reading your Substack and I never knew that the endometrium was a part of the immune system. Could you give us a condensed version of the role that our endometria play in immune response?

There’s a lot of complexity and stuff that happens with menstruation. Your immune system is involved in wound healing, and think about what happens every month with shedding your lining, and then rebuilding. Your endometrium is also connected with the outside world. Your vagina’s got bacteria—and your endometrium actually has a microbiome, although it’s not really well understood. So it has to be able to defend itself. We’ve evolved to deal with exposure to infections, sexually transmitted diseases, or whatnot. And the immune system’s got a super important role in implantation and pregnancy. So it’s a very active part of the immune system."

"We need to expand the list of what we consider to be minor—and when I say minor I mean medically minor, I’m not trying to downplay people’s symptoms—complications related to medications, including vaccines, so that it’s collected. We’ve seen what happens without that information. Now we have anti-vaxxers running wild with it, saying that it’s causing miscarriages. So there’s not only the downstream effect of people wanting to know what happens to their body, but it’s becoming part of conspiracy theories and we’re seeing big people spreading it."[/quote]
