In the wake of unfounded rumors that coronavirus vaccines can cause fertility issues, the question was asked to HaGaon HaRav Chaim Kanievsky.
HaRav Chaim’s grandson, Yanky Kanievsky, repeated the question to his grandfather: “Young men and women who don’t yet have children or are hoping to have more children are afraid that if they will be vaccinated they won’t have more children. Is there what to fear?”
HaRav Chaim responded “no” and gave a bracha for those who are vaccinated.
Earlier this week, Israel’s Health Ministry updated its previous recommendations regarding pregnant women only being vaccinated after the 15th week of pregnancy. It now is recommending that pregnant women get vaccinated even during the first trimester since the potential danger of becoming ill from the coronavirus during that time outweighs any potential risks of the vaccine.
The British variant has proven to be dangerous for pregnant women, especially during the last trimester.

From these posts we learn a lot about the Kanievskies and nothing about the virus or vaccines.
Moderna warns pregnant not to take it. Why force them to against the manufacturers instructions?? It’s like a rodef. This insane pressure to take it kills any confidence in vaccinating.
There are also reports of studies that having had COVID might have an effect on male fertility. Was he asked for his opinion on that?
thank you rav chaim. people need to listen to daas torah. people are starting to forget about daas torah and only listen to the doctors.
To Professor mindful:
I was just curious, before you posted your comment, how much time did you think about your comment or how to phrase it. I mean from the moment you finished reading this article until you started typing your comment.
Was it 2 hours, 2 minutes, 2 seconds, maybe 1 second.
To Mindful:
It is amazing to me that someone will put their entire Olam Haba on the line just to get attention on the YW comments. It seems to me that it is not just the next-world you won’t have, but clearly, you have no life at all, even here. What was the point of writing that? They will show it to you in your mishpat after 120. It will still be on the internet- you will unable able to deny it.
Actually I have wanted to write that comment for months but I did not expect YWN to let it through. We have become a culture who worships humans and not Hashem. Time to go back to Holocho and traditional values.
Thank you mindful
