SARS-CoV-2 infections induces testicular damage

'Severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) infections by intranasal or testicular inoculation induces testicular damage preventable by vaccination in golden Syrian hamsters'


"SARS-CoV-2 can cause acute testicular damage with subsequent chronic asymmetric testicular atrophy and associated hormonal changes despite a self-limiting pneumonia in hamsters. Awareness of possible hypogonadism and subfertility is important in managing convalescent COVID-19 males."

I haven’t had COVID yet and it seems my nutsack keeps dropping and enlarging the more I age, so I guess I have been lucky and remain unvaccinated, just like I have never had a flu vaccine in my life.

A toast to the Hamsters who have sacrificed their gonads in the name of medical research and over-the-top journalism.

This is almost as good as my thread months ago about COVID spreading through the White-tailed Deer populations....Almost.

What is testicular innoculation and what made someone decide it needed testing? Sure hope my taxes were not wasted on this.
