“The U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) stated that “currently no evidence shows that any vaccines, including COVID-19 vaccines, cause fertility problems”. In February 2021, the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists, the American Society for Reproductive Medicine, and the Society for Maternal-Fetal Medicine issued a joint statement to the same effect.
