Vaginal ulcers could be new but extremely rare complication of Covid jabs, doctors claim

After treating a 16-year-old girl for agonising lesions in her genitals, they suspect her recent jab could be the only cause.

The teenager was not sexually active and had been given her second Pfizer Covid vaccine dose days before coming to hospital.

Docs said the young woman had developed agonising “sores” in her vaginal area alongside a fever, fatigue and muscle aches within 24 hours of having the US-made jab.

Two days later she went to the emergency room and, although given antibiotics, did not improve.

The lesions in her vulva had a “necrotic” flesh-rotting ring and were leaking fluid. They were “exquisitely painful” and prevented her from using the toilet or walking.

Her labia were also swollen, according to the report in the Journal of Pediatric and Adolescent Gynecology.

Tests showed the teen did not have Covid or herpes, causing medics to consider the jab she’d recently had.

Speaking of vaginas…

Is Arizona’s Kyrsten Sinema bad for bisexual Americans?

It wasn’t that long ago that embattled Arizona Sen. Kyrsten Sinema was hailed as a triumph of bisexual representation. After she was sworn in in January 2019, Out celebrated the first openly bisexual senator as a “rebuke to Trumpism,” positioning the “sassy lawmaker” in opposition to homophobic then-Vice President Mike Pence.

It wasn’t that long ago that embattled Arizona Sen. Kyrsten Sinema was hailed as a triumph of bisexual representation.

But just a few years into her tenure, public opinion has soured on Sinema. Instead of a brash, bisexual icon willing and able to stand up to the far right, she’s now seen as an unreliable centrist, a self-absorbed Democratic turncoat more fixated on getting attention and lining her own pockets than uplifting her community. No longer a bi icon, she’s now held up as a cautionary tale about the limits of representation.

As a bisexual woman — and one who, like Sinema, is white and cisgender — I now cringe every time the senator makes the headlines. Whether it’s fashion columnists dissecting her showy personal style, cartoonists mocking her as a “manic pixie dream senator” or the seemingly endless analyses of her inscrutability, Sinema seems to embody many of the nasty assumptions about bi women I’ve worked my whole life to avoid.

Or… or… being bisexual has nothing to do with it and she is not a “bisexual” but, you know, a person. No one bigots so crudely as a CNBC bigot.
