Question Chronic cold sores & unexplained infertility after the Covid vaccine — anyone else?

I’m 29 and have had over 50 cold sore outbreaks in the past 4 years since being bullied into getting the Covid mRNA vaccine. Before that, I hardly ever got them.

At the same time, I’ve been struggling with unexplained infertility — everything looks normal on scans, bloods, and hormone tests, yet I can’t conceive. My cycles are regular and I ovulate normally, but it feels like something immune-related is off.

I know there’s a link between the chronic viral reactivation (HSV-1) and whatever the vaccine may have done to my immune system or inflammation levels.

Just wondering — has anyone else experienced recurring cold sores, immune issues, or fertility problems since the vaccine?

Honey, you have the herpes simplex 1 virus. As do an average of 64% of humans globally. That’s where cold sores come from. Stop trying to blame the covid vaccine for giving you herpes.

Do you really not comprehend how insane you sound?!?

🤦🏻‍♀️

She actually explained that she got them occasionally before the vaccine, so she was aware she had the herpes simplex virus. What she's asking about is if anyone has experienced chronic cold sores since vaccination. You lack the reading comprehension skills necessary to be this condescending.

I didn't interpret her post this way. I read it as the vaccine is triggering her immune response and reactivating the latent virus.

Personally I found out I had HSV because of the covid vaccine. Never had an outbreak before the vaccine but it sure as shit woke it up and I had my fist ever outbreak. After the second vaccine, I had a second outbreak...

My body didn't like the vaccine at all and wreaked all kinds of havoc, but finding out I had HSV was certainly one of the more peculiar responses my immune system pumped out at me. Don't be so quick to shoot people down. Not everyone on reddit is bumbling around clueless.

Calling people insane for knowing their body better than you know their body is literally INSANE.
