OPINION: There is no evidence the vaccine harms a man’s reproductive system. But ignoring the vaccine and contracting COVID-19 very well could, Ranjith Ramasamy writes.

Contrary to myths circulating on social media, COVID-19 vaccines do not cause erectile dysfunction and male infertility.Until now, little research has been done on how the virus or the vaccines affect the male reproductive system. But recent investigations by physicians and researchers here at the University of Miami have shed new light on these questions.

The result: COVID-19 virus appeared in the tissues of one of the men; decreased numbers of sperm appeared in three. Notably, one of the men had only mild COVID-19 symptoms. The other had been hospitalized. This suggests that even those with a relatively light case of the virus can experience severe erectile dysfunction after recovery.

It is also known that mumps and Zika viruses can enter the testicles and cause inflammation. Up to 20% of men infected with these viruses will have impaired sperm production. Granted, the research is only a first step on how COVID-19 might affect male sexual health; the samples were small. Studies should continue.

For the millions of American men who remain unvaccinated, you may want to again consider the consequences if and when this highly aggressive virus finds you.

C’mon people. Learn how vaccines work. It’s not a force field. You can still get covid if you are the only one vaccinated at a party but if everyone is vaccinated you won’t get it and won’t spread it. Just like polio . Measles etc. vaccines 101. Get vaccinated !

A sample on six and one had signs of ED and low sperm count. What a joke! This article is akin to click bait. Post about the markets like your handle expects you to do. youwilltakethejab welcometonaziamerica

remember tests are suppose to be given with cT scores ppl not getting proper results..rapid tests can be wrong..reliable fast tesst needed but seems still getting invented

Here's another Opinion : Let's examine this in a scientific study over 10 years to have a more accurate result, considering the total amount of vaccine boosters needed is completely undetermined and changing every 3 months. LongTermDisability

Florida's unexpected COVID-19 Delta surge could be prolonged: Infection expertFlorida health officials said that while they expected an uptick in coronavirus metrics over the summer, none predicted the Delta surge to be as significant as it has been across the state. Changes in the death rate is all that matters. All else is political propaganda. Delta was significant in india and uk and now in decline. Read article in ny times about it today. Cases arent deaths. Why get vaccine if you can still catch/spread it and have to follow same vaccine mandates as un vaccinated? Im never getting it.

Biden announces Covid-19 vaccine incentives, mandates for federal workersPresident Biden announced new Covid-19 vaccine incentives including encouraging states to use federal funds to award unvaccinated people $100 if they get the vaccine. He also announced new Covid-19 vaccine mandates for federal workers and contractors and urged other workplaces to follow suit. Baby steps. There's so much more you could do POTUS. Ask major corporations to require vaccinations for their employees and customers. Make it mandatory for the military. Ask governors to do their part. Good deal means if you are family of 3 kids will get $500 not bad At least he is trying to get through to the dumb people
