"We don't know for certain if the damage is irreversible, but I expect so, because the cells that hold the internal structure in place have been infected and destroyed.”
The research is the first to link Zika to male infertility.
Previously it was though that the virus, which is passed on through mosquito bites, was only dangerous for pregnant women,br> because it can lead to babies being born with shrunken heads and brain damage, a condition known as microcephaly.
In rare cases it can also lead to Guillain-Barre syndrome which can cause paralysis and lead to death.

Of course it does
You couldn't get millions of dollars in grants to study the virus if it wasn't going to kill millions of people, could you?

Shrunken Testicles? That explains Congress!
Seriously - is this such a BAD thing? I only want Viking Men breeding from here on out to re-populate America and dilute the Pajama Boy panty-wastes. Even if they have to take their women by force...which won’t be a challenge at all!
