Fan Caibin, a urologist at Nanjing Medical University Affiliated Suzhou Hospital, on Feb. 12 posted the results of a scientific research project which found that the disease not only damages the lungs, but also the kidneys and testes, potentially leading to male infertility . . .

After patients recover from COVID-19, doctors should carry out an evaluation of their reproductive functions, “especially young male patients,” wrote the researchers.

Young aggressive males who want to party and socialize a lot may be more likely to catch the virus and face infertility than shy men who socialize less, thus potentially giving a reproductive edge to the meek. By “coincidence,” this is close to the premise of my “How the meek may inherit the Earth” thread, which envisioned a virus designed to eliminate males with the “warrior gene.”

With so many male having no opportunity to have sexual intercourse and fertilise human eggs anyways, this might not be as bad a news as the OP implies.

If this honest-to-God checks out and even, say, half of those who contract it become infertile, it will still have a massive effect. Adoption agencies will certainly love it.

Im having a hard time believing this is a natural virus

sounds like a lab virus which should reduce the population

Agenda 2030 They have very ambitious goals I wonder how its possible to achieve that by 2030. if we could only kill the old and poor hmmm.....

Yes, if you are dead you cannot have any children.


Then again:
Unproven report linking coronavirus to male infertility removed
Produced by a team based at the Reproductive Medicine Centre at Tongji Hospital in Wuhan, China, the report said it was theoretically possible that COVID-19 could impact men's reproductive health, as a receptor that the virus is thought to use to infect human cells, called angiotensin-converting enzyme 2 (ACE2), is also highly expressed in the testes.

However, the team did not perform a study to assess male fertility in patients who had been infected with the coronavirus, and there is no evidence to suggest that the virus is found in the testes. Furthermore, the article was published in medRxiv, a website where researchers share data that has not been peer-reviewed in order to engage in discussion with other researchers.

Speaking to Newsweek, Professor Allan Pacey, a leading expert in male fertility at the University of Sheffield, emphasised that the article is a 'short discussion' paper that has not been peer-reviewed and 'highly theoretical.'

'It is intended to alert the medical and scientific community to the possible impact COVID-19 may have on the male reproductive system,' he said. 'At present it is somewhat premature to conclude from this study [that] COVID-19 will definitely affect male fertility, but it is useful that the authors have raised this concern so that researchers can in due course take a look at the fertility of those who were infected by COVID-19.'

Those who have tested positive for the coronavirus and concerned about their fertility should discuss this with their family doctor, Professor Pacey suggested. Men can have a 'relatively simple' semen analysis three months after infection.

The tests may be more valuable for experts looking at the potential link between coronavirus and male fertility on a population-wide scale.

'The problem in interpreting the results from semen analysis is that for most men who are infected with COVID-19, they wouldn't have had their fertility tested beforehand, so it is going to be very difficult with an individual man to know if any abnormal test result was due to the virus or not,' he said. 'However, across a large population of men (several hundred), it should be possible to see if rates of poor sperm quality are higher than what might be predicted.'
