I wish I had come up with this but it was @drjengunter.bsky.social who said that If I could cause infertility with 2-0.3ml injections given a month apart that would be fantastic.
Tweet from Katie Pavlich 8/10/26

The mandated and doctor recommended COVID-19 shot for pregnant women was effectively an abortion shot according to new documents just released by Senators Johnson and Paul. 

“The authors claimed a miscarriage rate of 12.6%, but the raw data revealed an 82% miscarriage rate in women vaccinated during the first trimester. This is consistent with the 81% miscarriage rate noted in the Pfizer 5.3.6 post-market data. These figures mirror the effects of chemical abortion drugs such as RU-486.”
