Get ready for a baby bust.
Sperm counts globally have fallen at an alarming rate – dropping by more than 62% between 1973 and 2018 – and could lead to a reproductive crisis, new research has found.
During the same period, the concentration of sperm among men dropped by more than 51%, from 101.2 million to 49 million sperm per milliliter of semen, according to the peer-reviewed study published Tuesday in the journal Human Reproduction Update.
That number is still above the World Health Organization’s cutoff, namely 15 million per milliliter, below which men are deemed to have a low sperm concentration, The Times of Israel reported.
But the drop is still alarming, according to Prof. Hagai Levine of the Hebrew University of Jerusalem, who led the study along with Prof. Shanna Swan at New York’s Icahn School of Medicine.
“We have a serious problem on our hands that, if not mitigated, could threaten mankind’s survival,” the epidemiologist said in a statement, adding that the findings serve as “a canary in a coal mine.”
The Israeli and American team, joined by researchers in Denmark, Brazil and Spain, studied sperm count trends in areas that had not been reviewed previously.
Levine noted that the news doesn’t address what is causing the declines, but other researchers have tied falling sperm counts to obesity, sedentary lifestyles, smoking, exposure to certain chemicals and pesticides, among other factors.
In 2017, the same team had already reported about an alarming decline in sperm counts across the Western world, according to Euronews.

AMERICANS NOT REPRODUCING LIKE BEFORE... AMNESTY for 11 MILLION IMMIGRANTS
Keep sucking down that soy, boys...
If it has anything to do with the vaxx, we old vaxx refusniks could always be called out of the bullpen.
“We have a serious problem on our hands that, if not mitigated, could threaten mankind’s survival,” the epidemiologist said in a statement, adding that the findings serve as “a canary in a coal mine.”
Shut up and do scientific research.
...another Luciferian population control in the making.
They’ve plunged 99+ percent in Senator McNoballs, the repub senate leader.
Like Chucky Schumer says, As long as we got lots of illegal aliens, we’ll have plenty of babies to be RAT voters.
My son used to drink soy milk because he was lactose intolerant. He’s now “trans”. Coincidence?
With the equally plunging testosterone levels, men under 50 have become weak & stupid nancy-boys?
That’s because of all the transgenders now getting their zer0 counts averaged in.
Then why are there 8 billion people as of yesterday?
Not trying to be crude or salacious, but wonder, how do they conduct these studies? And is it really a threat to the survival of mankind, if there are fewer sperm? It only takes 1 out of many millions introduced into the female, to fertilize the egg. Could fewer babies be born? Conceivably. But, is it really accurate to say this is a threat to man’s very survival?
Some say it is pesticides, plastics or whatever that we are consuming.
It will be important to find the root cause.
may i ask how old he is?
Getting xenoestrogenic chemicals out of our food supply is a “green” idea I can support.
