Sperm counts worldwide are plummeting faster than we thought

[EndtheMadnessNow]

Here's a study from July 2022 stating men infected with COVID have one third less sperm compared to uninfected men over 3 months later. Of 100 men infected and not hospitalized, four had no viable sperm. Of 100 men not infected, none had this condition. Small sample size, but concerning nonetheless...

Investigation of the effect of COVID-19 on sperm count, motility, and morphology

Newer study from Germany, but only 25 males:

Vaccination with either mRNA or Vector-Based COVID-19 Vaccine has no Detectable Effect on Sperm Parameters (PDF)

Background: With the introduction of COVID-19 vaccines in 2021, concerns arose regarding their impact on male fertility. Therefore, this study investigated the effect of mRNA- and vector-based COVID-19 vaccination on male fertility by analyzing sperm parameters in subjects with unrestricted
and restricted fertility.

Methods: In this prospective self before-after control study at a single University-based Infertility Center in Duesseldorf, Germany, a total of 25 male subjects were recruited, who were scheduled to receive their first vaccination against COVID-19 between January and August 2021. Semen samples
were obtained before and after the first COVID-19 vaccination to perform an analysis of semen quality according to the 2010 World Health Organization guideline. Main outcome measures were ejaculate volume, sperm concentration, total sperm number, percentage of sperm motility and sperm morphology.

Results: There were no significant changes in sperm parameters before and after the vaccination.

Conclusion: Both, mRNA and vector-based COVID-19 vaccination had no short-term effect on sperm parameters. Therefore, an influence of COVID-19 vaccination on male fertility appears to be very unlikely.

There you have it and we know the Germans have a lot of experience in this science area. Just sayin.
