Researchers at the Department of Microbiology of The University of Hong Kong (HKU) have found that the COVID19 virus can cause acute testicular damage, chronic asymmetric testicular atrophy, and hormonal changes in hamsters despite a light pneumonia.
“In managing convalescent COVID-19 males, it is important to be aware of possible hypogonadism (low sex drive) and subfertility,” said Chair of Infectious Diseases Professor Kwok-yung Yuen, who led the research effort. “ COVID-19 vaccination can prevent this complication.”
The HKU study of testicular damage of the virus, SARS-CoV-2, has been accepted for publication in the leading journal Clinical Infectious Diseases.
COVID 19 Testicular Damage Shrinkage
Previous studies have reported testicular pain in COVID-19 patients. One autopsy study of males who died from COVID-19 showed orchitis with lots of testicular cell damage, but SARS -CoV-2 was not consistently found in semen specimens.
The HKU team investigated the testicular and hormonal changes of hamsters infected by virus given through the intranasal or direct testicular route using the influenza virus in the control group. The research finds that virus-infected hamsters developed self-limiting pneumonia. But even intranasal SARS-CoV-2 challenge caused acute decrease in sperm count, and serum testosterone starting from the 4 to 7 days. The SARS-CoV-2 infected hamsters developed testicular atrophy with reduced testicular size and weight. The serum sex hormone level was markedly reduced at 42 to 120 days after infection (dpi). Acute testicular inflammation, haemorrhage, and necrosis of seminiferous tubules, and disruption of spermatogenesis were seen.
COVID Testicular Damage Shrinkage
From 7 to 120 dpi, the inflammation, degeneration, and necrosis of testicular tissue persisted. Intranasal challenge with Omicron and Delta variants were found to induce similar testicular changes. These testicular damages can be prevented by vaccination.
The control group of hamsters challenged by influenza A virus given intranasally or intra-testicularly showed no testicular infection or damage.

Vaccines: “Whatever you can do, I can do better, I can do anything better than you.”
I would legitimately prefer President Dwayne Elizondo Mountain Dew Herbert Camacho to Biden.
“. . . if you really need them, they’ll be in my pocketbook . . . or in the regridgerator”
I will take Testosterone Cypionate, Anastrozole, Gonadorelin and Viagra as a clinical trial.
Cocaine as well...
Wasn’t it Nicki Minaj the female rap singer who said she was a vaccine skeptic because one of her friends had taken the vaccine and his balls shrunk up to almost nothing.
Nope. I’ve tested mine, still good.
Depopulation comes in many forms.
That’s strange. Those are some of the same exact things people are reporting from the vaccine and they have never tested positive for Covid.
The same way the Germans did.
The Chinese virus not only sucks, it swallows.
Apologies in advance.

I’m 67, had the woofloo Jan 20, and again exactly 2 yrs later last month. Was over it the first time after 3 weeks (didn’t know what it was, but kept away from people, and kept driving truck). Last month I was over it in approx 2 weeks (except for a nagging cough for another week).
Like any flu-like sickness I’ve had, I was low on any kind drive.
This last time my wife got it at the same time (her first), but was at least 3 weeks getting to the last part, the nagging cough.
We haven’t had the poyzeen poke, and I can testify that after getting over it, I am juuuussst fine.
More likely microclots from ‘vaccines’ which are reported to cause a variety of sexual dysfunction
That’s what the clot shot is doing. More propaganda scare tactics to get people to take the shot.
If you think that’s bad wait until you see what the vaccine does to you 🤪
Straight up unabashed personal experience. Yes... Uncomfortable experience when right after I had it my wife found my semen was black/brown and gross. It was all dead. Lasted about five days before it became normal again.
Yes, I know... Didn’t really need to share that. But we can personally confirm here is a serious issue with this virus that does effect normal semen health. Houston, we have a problem... Scared the hell out of us... Just wasn’t right.
I find college educated feminist women lower my sex drive. It is virulently contagious. Avoid at all cost.
Yikes! Hope everything is better now, but thanks for sharing that unfortunate side effect. I really hope these bastards who created this get their just rewards.
Still unvaxxed, so I can’t say if it is the same or not after vax? Maybe someone else has made note?
Reality is important here... No time to be shy... We need to know.
Good thing we are old and done having children...
At least it won’t hurt when I cross my legs…
It’s a feature.
