Previous research has found that male survivors of the virus sometimes suffer erectile dysfunction and other genital tract issues, though it is often believed to be a result of inflammation as an immune response to the virus.
These researchers now believe that it is the virus itself, not the immune system, causing genital issues for infected males, changing the calculous for how this type of condition would be treated.
Researchers, who posted their findings last week in bioRxiv pending peer review before journal publication, performed research on three male rhesus macaques, a breed of monkey often used for such studies because they have many genetic similarities with humans.
Each of the monkeys had body scans performed on them after they were infected with the virus in an effort to detect where traces of the virus were visible.
Dr Thomas Hope, lead researcher and a biology professor at Northwestern, told the New York Times that 'the signal in the penis was off the radar.'
Researchers found spread of the virus in the penis of all three animals. One of the animals had infection in its testicles as well.
The findings indicate that the virus managed to infect and spread within the monkey's penis, likely causing the animals genital tract issues, like erectile dysfunction.
Researchers believe this type of spread can cause major damage to the region of the body in both animals and humans.

Can I wish rare side effects on them too ?
If I have to wear a mask for more than four hours, should I call my doctor?
There are supposedly a lot of health issues related to COVID-19 (not counting the vaccines), and we’ve yet to punish those responsible (ChiComs, WHO, Fauci, Moderna).
Bad news for Lori Lightfoot.
OK, I'll be sure and get my vaccination, now.
“The signal in the penis was off the radar”
This is a DIRECT attack on Transgenders! Time to file a lawsuit!
Bull. This is just another ploy to push the vaccine. They figure there are lots of guys that are ok with dying but not being unable to perform.
So that’s where all the balls formerly possessed by American males went.

I just got over Covid, after two weeks. It hurt like hell to piss for a week and a half.
Hopefully it will effect liberals more than others.
how many were jabbed
If this fear porn lasts more than 4 hours, call Dr. Malone.
I can just see the late-night TV commercials now.
You have to get the vax right in the sac though for it to be effective...... :-)
Sounds familiar. So, can officers catch the stuff off a terlet seat? Do we need to suit up before we go on leave? And just where do we wear the N95?
With the square brass needle?
Flatten the curve?
Can I have a list of keywords for my email blocker.
