Safe & Effective #5: Struggling Swimmers
Can your boys swim? Your answer may need to be re-evaluated post-vaccination.
We can keep this pretty quick: peer-reviewed research found a statistically significant drop in sperm count among vaccinated donors. The study did establish a pre-vaccine benchmark with trial participants and assessed short, mid, and long-term change in sperm count and found a 15-20% drop that sustained through the full analysis window (5 months, labeled as T3 in the study). The study is small, but the findings are 97% significant, meaning it is quite unlikely that you would see such a drop occur randomly.
Here are the results directly from the study. To orient you, T0 is the pre-vaccination baseline, T1 is ~1-2 months post vax, T2 is ~3-4 months, and T3 is ~5 months. We see the change in the first column and then the p-value, which assesses the significance, in the far right column.
The study did not include any time with boosters, but it’s safe to assume that if we see a 15% drop sustain for 5 months, then getting jabbed again 6 months later is, at best, going to delay any potential return to a normal number of swimmers.
Pair this with the well-known menstruation issues that the vaccine causes, and it is flat-out insane that this thing was taken by prospective parents. And it’s downright evil that this thing was forced on young employees of companies and college students. And that’s just from what we know. We’d know a lot more if research looking into this wasn’t stigmatized as “anti-vax” and if “scientists” here in the U.S. actually cared about science rather than ensuring the gravy train from government grants continues to flow their way.
Look, end of the day, sure, it probably won’t sterilize you or your spouse. We know that the birth rate, though declining, hasn’t fallen off a cliff. But you are absolutely running a substantially non-zero chance of significant reproductive impairments. That risk is a hell of a lot higher than the basically zero chance that if you are young and healthy that Covid would strike you down.
