Researchers from Boston University analyzed data from more than 2,000 couples trying to conceive.

"The findings provide reassurance that vaccination for couples seeking pregnancy does not appear to impair fertility," Dr. Diana Bianchi, head of the arm of the National Institutes of Health that funded the study, said in aThe study's authors say they surveyed participants — adult women up to 45 years old who are trying to conceive without the use of fertility treatments — and many of their partners every eight weeks for a year.

A statistical analysis of data collected from the participants found"no meaningful association" between couples who reported COVID-19 vaccination and the likelihood they were able to conceive, compared to unvaccinated participants. That also held true across a variety of other factors, the researchers said, including vaccination brand and different times of the year.

However, male partners who reported they tested positive for COVID-19 appeared to be associated with"a transient reduction" in the likelihood of conception within 60 days. "These findings indicate that male SARS-CoV-2 infection may be associated with a short-term decline in fertility," they said.

Some may say God gives us what we need. Not me, but some people. covid is limiting the population and making more men infertile. It may not be good, but it might be what we need right now between plastic pollution, deforestation and global warming

Well, male fertility is dropping period. Across species, incl humans. Not talked about often because it freaks men out. They’re all about their sperm after all. Society still likes to blame women but it’s the men.

Wait for about 5 to 10 years from now. When we get the real data. I pray for the kids that are being experimented on.

Smh 🤦🏽‍♂️

So dose a cell phone in your front pocket. Where is the reporting there since it's been established fact since the 1990s but crickets. COVID 'might' through.

Covid, the White Plague come to life from a fantasy novel .... ( or was it a short story ? I forget ) But the plot thickens ...

Men catching Covid might reduce fertility for women? (Please have an editor rewrite your headline)
