The Latest Tragedy: Sudden Adult Death Syndrome
BY Joseph Mercola TIMEJune 20, 2022 PRINT
Media outlets around the world have started highlighting a medical phenomenon called ‘sudden adult death syndrome’ – people dying with no sign of illness or underlying health condition. They simply collapse during the day or don’t wake up in the morning. While SADS has been known to occur before, what’s alarming is the sudden surge of this previously rare event
STORY AT-A-GLANCE

• In recent weeks, media outlets around the world have started highlighting a medical phenomenon called “sudden adult death syndrome,” or SADS, in what appears to be a clear effort to obscure the reality of COVID jab deaths. Sad on steroids indeed.
  
• Underlying factors for SADS include undiagnosed myocarditis, inflammatory conditions and other conditions that cause irregularities in the electrical system of the heart, thereby triggering cardiac arrest.
  
• While SADS has been known to occur previously, what’s new is the prevalence of this previously rare event. In Australia, the Melbourne Baker Heart and Diabetes Institute is setting up a new SADS registry “to gain more information” about the phenomenon.
  
• Data compiled by the International Olympic Committee show 1,101 sudden deaths in athletes under age 35 between 1966 and 2004, giving us an average annual rate of 29, across all sports. Meanwhile, between March 2021 and March 2022 alone—a single year—at least 769 athletes have suffered cardiac arrest, collapse, and/or have died on the field, worldwide.
  
• Among EU FIFA (football/soccer ball) athletes, sudden death increased by 420 percent in 2021. Historically, about five soccer players have died while playing the game each year. Between January and mid-November 2021, 21 FIFA players died from sudden death.
  

SADS is also short for “sudden arrhythmic death syndrome,”1 which was first identified in 1977. Underlying factors for SADS (both the sudden adult death and sudden arrhythmic versions) include undiagnosed myocarditis, inflammatory conditions and other conditions that cause irregularities in the electrical system of the heart, thereby triggering cardiac arrest.2,3,4 While SADS has been known to occur before, what’s new is the prevalence of this previously rare event.
Historical Prevalence of SADS
According to the British Heart Association, there are about 500 cases of SADS in the UK each year.5 The British Office for National Statistics, on the other hand, show far fewer cases.6 The ONS lists a total of 128 cases of SADS (all age groups, whether listed as cardiac-related or unknown) in 2016, 77 cases in 2017, 70 in 2018, 107 in 2019 and 139 cases in 2020.
While data on SADS incidence for 2021 and 2022 are hard to come by, incidence has apparently risen sufficiently enough to cause concern in some countries. Before the pandemic, SADS was the acronym for sudden arrhythmia death syndrome, which was rare and with scant research on it except to mention that it accounted for about 30 percent of unexpected cardiac deaths among young people.7
But today, it’s no longer rare and SADS is virtually on steroids as the numbers of sudden deaths in young adults pile up around the world. The numbers are so concerning that in Australia, for example, the Melbourne Baker Heart and Diabetes Institute is setting up a new SADS registry “to gain more information” about the phenomenon.8,9
According to a spokesperson, there are approximately 750 SADS cases per year in Australia. In the U.S., the average annual death toll from SADS is said to be around 4,000.10

Since the rollout of the COVID jabs, the news has been chockful of reports of young, healthy and often athletic people dying “for no reason” and doctors claim to be “baffled” by it. Doctors and scientists in Australia are even urging everyone under the age of 40 to get their hearts checked, even if they’re healthy and fit.11
Any thinking person, on the other hand, can clearly see the correlation between the shots, which are now well-known for their ability to cause heart inflammation, and the rise in sudden death among young and healthy people.
Hundreds of Athletes Have Collapsed and Died Post-Jab
Among athletes, sudden death incidence has historically ranged between 1 in 40,000 and 1 in 80,000.12 An analysis13 of deaths among competitive athletes between 1980 and 2006 in the U.S. identified a total of 1,866 cases where an athlete either collapsed from cardiac arrest and/or died suddenly. That’s 1,866 cases occurring over a span of 27 years, giving us an annual average of 69 in the U.S.
Data14 compiled by the International Olympic Committee show 1,101 sudden deaths in athletes under age 35 between 1966 and 2004, giving us an average annual rate of 29 sudden deaths, across all sports. Meanwhile, between March 2021 and March 2022 alone — a single year — at least 769 athletes have suffered cardiac arrest, collapse, and/or have died on the field, worldwide.15

Good Sciencing, which is keeping a running total of athletic deaths post-jab puts the current number of cardiac arrests at 1,090 and total deaths at 715.16 Several dozen more are pending confirmation that the athlete had in fact received the shot.
Among EU FIFA (football/soccer ball) athletes, sudden death increased by 420 percent in 2021.17 Historically, about five soccer players have died while playing the game each year. Between January and mid-November 2021, 21 FIFA players died from sudden death.
COVID Jab Clearly Associated With Heart Injury
An opinion piece in Frontiers in Sports and Active Living, published in April 2022, highlights the correlation between COVID jab-induced heart inflammation and sudden cardiac death in athletes:18

“Increased COVID-related SCD [sudden cardiac death] appears to be due, at least in part, to a recent history of infection and/or vaccination that induces inflammatory and immune impairment that injures the heart.

An unhealthy lifestyle that may include poor diet or overtraining may likely be a contributing factor. The seeming increased incidence of myocarditis and pericarditis during COVID-19 and in the post-vaccination period, and SCD, poses a serious risk to not only athletes but all others and is a cause for alarm.

As the population ages and the popularity of running, cycling, and other endurance sports increases, the burden of SCD risk can potentially grow as well. A strong focus on both health and fitness should be a loud and clear public health message.”

The Signal That Cannot Be Silenced
In a June 13, 2022, Substack article, Dr. Pierre Kory also commented on this latest effort to explain away COVID jab deaths:19

“I recently posted a deeply referenced compilation20 of evidence detailing the historic humanitarian catastrophe that has slowly unfolded within most advanced health economies across the world. Caused by a global mass vaccination campaign led by the Pharma masters of BMGF/WHO/CDC that illogically (but profitably) targeted a rapidly mutating coronavirus.

They did it with what turned out to be the most toxic protein used therapeutically in the history of medicine. In vials mixed with lipid nano-particles, polyethylene glycol and who knows what else.

I cited studies and reports showing massive increases in cardiovascular deaths and neurologic (and other) disabilities amongst working age adults, beginning in 2021 only.

A disturbing signal screaming from the original clinical trials data,21 VAERS data,22 life insurance data,23 disability data,24 reports of cardiac arrests of professional athletes,25 rises in ambulance calls for cardiac arrests in pre-heart attack age young people,26 and the massive increases in illnesses and data manipulations27 in Department of Defense databases.

As these events become more and more recognized by the average citizen (and occasional journalist), a new pathetic ‘Disinformation Campaign’ was launched in response trying to blame all the young people dying as simply a need for increased awareness of the rare condition called Sudden Adult Death Syndrome (SADS), rather than examples of the legions dying from the vaccines.

The fact checkers also came out in support of this narrative, branding anyone who thinks the vaccines are the cause of SADS as a conspiracy theorist …

What is nauseating is the tone of purported good intention within these articles, informing folks that if you are related to someone young who died suddenly you should go see a cardiologist to make sure you don’t have an abnormal EKG.

After it turns out normal, they will assuredly tell you to get vaccinated, an absurdity atop a mountain of absurdities caused by our bio-medical-media industrial complex over the past 2+ years.”

Diseases ‘Suppressed by COVID’ Make Comebacks
Media are also trying to write off increases of other diseases as something other than COVID jab-related. “Diseases Suppressed During COVID Are Coming Back in New and Peculiar Ways,” CNBC reported June 10, 2022.28
The article goes on to discuss how viruses other than SARS-CoV-2 are now “rearing their heads in new and unusual ways.” Influenza, respiratory syncytial virus (RSV), adenovirus, tuberculosis and monkeypox have all “spiked and exhibited strange behaviors in recent months,” CNBC notes.
No mention is made, however, of the fact that the COVID jab has been linked to vaccine-acquired immunodeficiency (lowered immune function), rendering you more susceptible to infections and chronic diseases of all kinds, including autoimmune diseases.29 MIT research scientist Stephanie Seneff explains the mechanisms for this in “COVID Vaccines and Neurodegenerative Disease.”
The COVID jab has also been shown to activate latent viruses, including hepatitis C,30 cytomegalovirus,31 varicella-zoster32 and herpes viruses.33 Not surprisingly, Moderna is now working on a new vaccine for “latent cytomegalovirus prevention.”34
This is yet another case of a drug company creating a “remedy” against a health problem their own product was responsible for creating in the first place. CNBC, meanwhile, cites “health experts” who attribute lowered immunity to COVID lockdowns, mask wearing and missed childhood vaccinations.35

Amputations of arms, legs, fingers and toes — consequences of post-jab blood clots — are also being written off as something else.36 In this case, media are blaming it on high cholesterol,37 totally ignoring the fact that high cholesterol has been prevalent for decades, and only now are people losing their extremities in shocking numbers.
Spikes in blood clots and strokes, meanwhile, are being blamed on smoking, pregnancy and contraceptives,38 even though blood clots and strokes are among the most common side effects of the COVID jab. Most ridiculous of all, however, is the claim that a “newly-discovered, highly reactive” chemical in the earth’s atmosphere is suspected of triggering heart disease.39
To anyone with half a brain, it’s clear that government authorities and media are doing everything they can to shift blame away from what is the most obvious culprit, namely the COVID shots.
All the diseases and conditions they’re now blaming on everything from cholesterol to mysterious atmospheric chemicals are known side effects of the jab. The elephant in the room is so gigantic, you can’t even get around it anymore. It’s pressing us against the walls.
Nursing Reports From the Frontlines
In his June 13, 2022, Substack article,40 Kory also shares insider information from a senior ICU and ER nurse who suffered blood clotting injuries, spontaneous unstoppable bleeding and cervical lymph node enlargement following her second Pfizer dose.

She filed a report with the Vaccine Adverse Event Reporting System (VAERS), which has since vanished. The batch numbers for the shots she received were associated with bad neurological responses and clotting. She also lost her hematologist-oncologist to vaccine injury.
While only in his early 40s, he’s now too injured to practice. “He was a ‘true believer’ and in denial until it was him who was the injured patient,” she told Kory.
The major cancer hospital where she works now have caseloads “in the thousands,” she says, whereas before the average caseload was between 250 and 400 in any given quarter. They don’t even have enough beds or infusion space to treat them all, and radiation treatments are backlogged.
All kinds of cancers are showing up — brain, lymph, stomach, pancreas, blood and even EYE cancers, “especially in younger people recently vaxxed.” Strokes are also “way up” in people with no risk factors or comorbidities. In an email to Kory, she wrote:41

“Ask me anything. I’ll tell you inside scoop from the floors and suites. This has to stop. They need to admit the fraud and crime and STOP. The liability must be lifted, mandates ended. They KNOW NOW and many KNEW THEN.

Don’t know if you’ll even read this, but I follow all of you on substack and Twitter — those not banned yet! — and read ALL the data. I’ve been a lab rat myself from an issue from a car accident years back — I know the process. So much fraud.”

In a follow-up email, the unnamed nurse continued:

“Lost 4 practitioners to serious side effects of ‘strongly encouraged’ boosters. 2 hospitalized, one in MICU … All in early 30s to mid-40s. They had no need for boosters … All had COVID previous, N antibodies fully measurable.”

Cardiac Anomalies Abound

Her colleagues in the cardiac unit also report “many anomalies … that never existed before,” including massive thrombi that fill the entire artery. Some embalmers have documented this never-before-seen phenomenon.42 They also can barely keep up with the unprecedented number of cardiac arrests. Kory writes:43

“She told me … that on some night shifts, nurse teams are seeing more cardiac arrests in a single shift than ever before and in unprecedented younger age patients.

On some shifts, they have had so many that the ‘crash carts’ are rolled straight from one arrest to another because pharmacy, especially on night shifts, are not able to re-stock fast enough. This situation has happened maybe once in my whole career, when two arrests happened on the same floor or unit within a short time period.”

And, while medical staff still are not speaking out publicly, the reality of the situation appears to be dawning inside the hospital walls, in private conversations between staff. Even there, however, nurses speak in code for fear of reprisal, referring to COVID jab injuries only as “that issue.”
The nurse pointed out that, now, the vaccination status is clearly marked at the top of the first screen of the patient’s medical record when the shot is suspected or known to be related to the patient’s “mysterious” or “complex” problem. Perhaps this is a sign that the dissociation from reality may be slowly breaking. I sure hope so.

I am noticing people around here are starting to become suspicious of the number of deaths that seem to be spreading through the community.

One thing that ties them together is the suddenness of the deaths, frequently, with no warning, and the number of deaths.
Some families have been hit hard.

The majority of my friends and family have been vaccinated. I don't say anything about vaccines when they report the sudden hospitalizations or death of a loved one. I just provide them with love, attention and care.

[ABNARTY]

Purely anecdotal on my part but I have heard of a few suspicious ones too. 

What I think would be helpful is seeing above average death rates over time for vaccinated and unvaccinated. 

The mouth breather retort right now is since a lot of people are vaccinated, they will have a higher volume. It might be true but until we examine the rates, we will not know one way or the other.

That mouth-breather response is easily laid low by recording the deaths, breaking them down into deaths per 100,000, and then breaking those deaths down by cause, separating out the Sudden Adult Death Syndrome deaths. That would tell the tale, which is why we are unlikely to ever see those figures.

There was a 'local paper article today (in this link) on a kid that just left home very close to where I live for school and
simply dropped down dead. The piece laboured how nice he was, what is family have done for charities and offered
wholesome images of a young lad living in a comfortable social background.

What he died of..? The article never said.

I don't want to be considered a troll nor do I wish to ruin anyone's day. But I have to say that the article mentioned in the OP is misleading at best and deliberately spreading totally false information at the worst. Not an attack on the OP, please understand this. I'm attacking the article itself. I went to one of my favorite websites for ascertaining if something is true or misleading and found this:

Posts Baselessly Link Sudden Arrhythmic Death Syndrome to COVID-19 Vaccines - FactCheck.org

Referring to two specific heart conditions that can cause SADS, a professor at the Mayo Clinic College of Medicine and head of the SADS Foundation board of directors, said in a statement provided by the foundation to FactCheck.org, “There’s not a single signal of increased LQTS events or CPVT events among diagnosed and treated patients who’ve been vaccinated [against COVID-19]

The article referenced above sums up very clearly facts about SADS, along with misleading articles about it. Here's another snippet from the article:

Although both the story and the headline claimed that Australia had a “new national register” for tracking SADS, it doesn’t. That project started in 2019 in the Australian state of Victoria.

There is a lot of misinformation out there regarding SADS. Since I was curious about it, that's where I looked it up. The misleading article they are referring to came from the British tabloid, The Daily Mail, which is indeed a tabloid. I realize many on here are anti vaccination, and that's okay. We're not all gonna agree on things. I'm just putting my opinion out there with a link to the article.

coVID-19: the Risk to Athletes

Purpose of review: The COVID-19 pandemic has had a profound impact on athletics, and the question of safely resuming competitive sports at all levels has been a source of significant debate.
Concerns regarding myocarditis and the risk of arrhythmias and sudden death in athletes have prompted heightened attention to the role of cardiovascular screening.

In this review, we aim to comprehensively outline the cardiovascular manifestations associated with COVID-19 infection, to discuss screening, diagnosis, and treatment strategies, and to evaluate the current literature on the risk to athletes and recommendations regarding return-to-play.

Recent findings: COVID-19 is known to cause myocarditis, with presentations ranging from subclinical current or prior infection detected on cardiac MRI imaging, to fulminant heart failure and shock. While initial data early in the pandemic suggested that the risk of myocarditis could be significant even in patients with nonsevere COVID-19 infection, recent studies suggest a very low prevalence of clinically significant disease in young athletes.

Summary: While COVID-19 can have significant cardiovascular manifestations, recent data demonstrate that a screening approach guided by severity of COVID-19 infection and cardiovascular symptoms allows the majority of athletes to safely return to play in a timely manner.

We must continue to tailor our approach to screening athletes as knowledge grows, and further research on the longitudinal cardiovascular effects of COVID-19 is needed.

Why?

Why a Judge Ordered FDA to Release Covid-19 Vaccine Data Pronto
A group of scientists and medical researchers sued the FDA under FOIA to force release of hundreds of thousands of documents related to licensing of the Pfizer-BioNTech Covid-19 vaccine. Plaintiff’s attorney Aaron Siri, who is representing the group, explains the fight that led a federal court to order expedited release of documents the agency claimed it would take decades to process.

Why did they need a judge to order the FDA and Pfizer to release their report on the vaccines?

In response to a Freedom of Information Act request, the Food and Drug Administration asked a federal judge for permission to make the public wait until the year 2096 to disclose all of the data it relied upon to license Pfizer’s Covid-19 vaccine.


That is not a typo. The FDA wanted court approval to have up to 75 years to publicly disclose this information.


In its attempts to build public support for Covid-19 vaccinations, the FDA repeatedly promised “full transparency,” and reaffirmed its “commitment to transparency” when licensing Pfizer’s Covid-19 vaccine.

With that promise in mind, after the vaccine’s licensure in August 2020, Public Health and Medical Professionals for Transparency, a group of highly credentialed scientists submitted a FOIA request to the FDA for the data submitted by Pfizer. The scientists explained that, until all the data is produced, a proper review cannot be conducted because missing even a single data set could throw off any analysis.

In response, the FDA produced nothing. Therefore, in September 2021, the scientists, represented by their attorneys at Siri & Glimstad, sued the FDA demanding it produce this data by March 2022.

With that promise in mind, after the vaccine’s licensure in August 2020, Public Health and Medical Professionals for Transparency, a group of highly credentialed scientists submitted a FOIA request to the FDA for the data submitted by Pfizer. The scientists explained that, until all the data is produced, a proper review cannot be conducted because missing even a single data set could throw off any analysis.

In response, the FDA produced nothing. Therefore, in September 2021, the scientists, represented by their attorneys at Siri & Glimstad, sued the FDA demanding it produce this data by March 2022.

So who do we trust? Who are the Fact Checkers Obligated too, who writes the checks to pay for their research?

That is some good information. Thanks for sharing that. I guess we will just have to agree to disagree. Again, no disrespect meant to anyone here. If I put something like this out on ATS, I’d get my ass handed to me.

Not here you won't, we are all about sharing information and caring.

I don't want to be considered a troll nor do I wish to ruin anyone's day. But I have to say that the article mentioned in the OP is misleading at best and deliberately spreading totally false information at the worst. Not an attack on the OP, please understand this. I'm attacking the article itself. I went to one of my favorite websites for ascertaining if something is true or misleading and found this:

Posts Baselessly Link Sudden Arrhythmic Death Syndrome to COVID-19 Vaccines - FactCheck.org

Referring to two specific heart conditions that can cause SADS, a professor at the Mayo Clinic College of Medicine and head of the SADS Foundation board of directors, said in a statement provided by the foundation to FactCheck.org, “There’s not a single signal of increased LQTS events or CPVT events among diagnosed and treated patients who’ve been vaccinated [against COVID-19]

The article referenced above sums up very clearly facts about SADS, along with misleading articles about it. Here's another snippet from the article:

Although both the story and the headline claimed that Australia had a “new national register” for tracking SADS, it doesn’t. That project started in 2019 in the Australian state of Victoria.

There is a lot of misinformation out there regarding SADS. Since I was curious about it, that's where I looked it up. The misleading article they are referring to came from the British tabloid, The Daily Mail, which is indeed a tabloid. I realize many on here are anti vaccination, and that's okay. We're not all gonna agree on things. I'm just putting my opinion out there with a link to the article. 

Harpoon missiles headed your way for posting fact-checker link. Momma G issued cancel fire, so...no problemo. LOL. Most all of those fact-checker sites are financed by the billionaire media elites like Thompson-Reuters AND doctors on Pfizer payroll. Can't freakin trust any one single source these days. So, are we having a "Sudden Adult Death Syndrome" crisis or is the social media making it to look that way? I dunno, yet, but I think we've all seen a fair share of suspicious deaths, especially in the 20s crowd of athletes.

A friend of a friend, age 32, super-fit, worked out in a gym 3 times a week, dropped dead in the gym; 4 weeks after receiving 2nd vax. Cause: heart failure. Underlying prior issues: none. He had a full physical/clean bill of health just 6 months earlier. Shit happens or is it related to SADS? Family still does not know.




Anywho, regardless if true or not or exactly how bad it is/is not, doesn't matter. I think the media is doing it's job of normalizing while at same time downplaying (for a future event?) and/or possible distraction for something else as in corruption > $$$.

Sudden arrhythmic death syndrome (SADS) is a sudden unexpected death of adolescents and adults, mainly during sleep. One relatively common type is known as Brugada syndrome.

A sudden death in a young person can be caused by heart disease (including cardiomyopathy, congenital heart disease, myocarditis, genetic connective tissue disorders) or conduction disease (WPW syndrome, etc), medication-related causes or other causes.

Aside from not having any factual numbers for comparison (what Ninurta said above), we don't know what underlying issues they each had that may or may not have anything to do with mRNA vaccines or a common denominator. Probably never will.

COVID-Related Athletic Deaths: Another Perfect Storm?

Despite high cardiorespiratory fitness, athletes of all ages and sex can suffer poor health, including cardiac conditions; some may even die during training or competition. While athletes are often thought of as being very healthy, this is not always the case as many are fit but unhealthy (Maffetone and Laursen, 2015; Scudiero et al., 2021). Sudden cardiac death (SCD) is one example.

The causes of SCD in athletes vary, with the estimated incidence of death between 1 in 40,000 to 1 in 80,000 persons (Harmon et al., 2014). The wide range may be due in part to the definitions of SCD; some estimates include only deaths with exertion or shortly (<1 h) after exertion, others include any SCD in an athlete (exertional or outside of exertion) and exclude those who have been resuscitated from sudden cardiac arrest. In athletes <35 years, inherited cardiac conditions such as hypertrophic cardiomyopathy and anomalous origin of a coronary artery are most common. Athletes >35 years represent the most sudden death cases from atherosclerotic coronary artery disease, which are usually lifestyle related (Lechner et al., 2020). The true incidence of SCD may be unknown and underestimated as current estimates are based largely on case identification through public media reports and estimated participation rates (Harmon et al., 2011). In addition, underreporting in all ages may occur in the context of recreational sports (Marijon et al., 2011).

While SCD in athletes is relatively rare, even a single case represents too many, especially considering most are preventable. This article highlights additional risks associated with post-COVID-19 infection and vaccination.

Want to Be a Dad? Count Your Sperm If You’ve Had the Jab
BY Jennifer Margulis and Joe Wang TIMEJune 23, 2022 PRINT
A recent study from Israel presents evidence that mRNA COVID-19 vaccines are negatively affecting men’s fertility, at least temporarily.
The study, “Covid-19 vaccination BNT162b2 temporarily impairs semen concentration and total motile count among semen donors,” is so new that even though it has been accepted by the journal Andrology and peer-reviewed, it has not yet been typeset or proofread.
Researchers from three medical centers in and around Tel Aviv, Israel, studied the effects of two doses of the Pfizer COVID-19 vaccine on 37 sperm donors.
A baseline was obtained by analyzing one or two samples donated by each subject prior to receiving the vaccine.
Then one to three subsequent donations were allocated to three different groups depending on how long after vaccination completion the donation was made. “Vaccination completion,” for the purpose of the study, was defined as seven days after the second dose of vaccine.
The time periods studied were 15–45 days, 75–120 days, and over 150 days after vaccination completion.

Reduction in Viable Sperm
The scientists analyzed a total of 220 samples. They found a statistically significant reduction in both sperm concentration and the total number of viable sperm in the period from 75 to 100 days after vaccination.
The donors’ sperm concentration was reduced by 15.1 percent, or a reduction of 12 million sperm per milliliter; and the total “motile count” was reduced by 22.1 percent, corresponding to an overall reduction of 31 million viable sperm.
These results appear to conflict with earlier studies that have indicated either no statistically significant effect on sperm parameters after vaccination or, as one study implausibly found, improved sperm quality.
These earlier studies, however, did not include medium- and longer-term analyses that were part of the new study.
Sperm Recovery? Maybe Not

The authors found that the samples taken after more than 150 days post-vaccination indicate that sperm “recovery” had occurred.
However, the third time they tested the sperm, they calculated comparable reductions in sperm concentration. But, according to the researchers, these reductions didn’t reach statistical significance.
The authors did not discuss why these third tests were not statistically significant, which is one of the weaknesses of this study. One reason may have been that there were 29 sperm donors who provided samples in the second time period and only 21 in the third time period. Fewer samples mean greater uncertainty. Given the small number of donors involved in the study, it would also be helpful to know why eight of them dropped out.
At the same time, other scientists and medical doctors have been sounding the alarm that the COVID-19 vaccines may be affecting fertility—for both men and women—for over a year now.
On April 23, 2021, in a public comment to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, molecular biologist and toxicologist, Dr. Janci Chunn Lindsay, said that there is reason to believe that the COVID vaccines “will cross-react with … reproductive proteins in sperm.”
Five months later, in September of 2021, an editorial in the British Medical Journal showed that over 30,000 women in the United Kingdom had reported that the COVID-19 vaccines disrupted their menstrual cycles.

It’s also worth noting that, as of June 10, 2022, 4,732 miscarriages have been reported to the Vaccine Adverse Event Reporting System (VAERS), a post-market passive database that is known for underreporting poor outcomes.
The authors of this new study, however, imply that there is no reason to fear vaccination for fertility reasons.
But is that reassurance justified by the evidence?
It is well-known in the scientific community that the SARS-CoV-2 virus invades body cells by binding to receptors for angiotensin converting enzyme-2, otherwise known as “ACE-2 receptors.”
Since numerous testicular cells express ACE-2 (as do numerous female reproductive cells), it’s not surprising that fertility impairment has been associated with COVID-19 illness.
At the same time, the mRNA vaccines work by inducing the body to make the same spike proteins that bind to the ACE-2 receptors. So the concern that the vaccines themselves could potentially cause long-term fertility impairment as a result is scientifically justified.

The Israeli researchers, however, believe that the fertility impairment they observed was “a reversible negative effect” that lasts for one cycle of spermatogenesis, or 74 days, from fever.
Many people experience fever as a side effect of mRNA vaccination.
According to the CDC’s COVID-19 Response Team, 29.5 percent of recipients reported having a fever following receipt of an mRNA vaccine.
Sperm Counts Started ‘Falling Precipitously’ Pre-COVID
In 2017, The Economist reported that sperm counts were “falling precipitously” in Western countries, citing a meta-analysis of 185 different studies that found sperm counts in Western countries had dropped an alarming 52 percent between 1973 and 2011, from an average of 99 million per milliliter in 1973 to a low of 47 million in 2011.
The effect was approximately linear, corresponding to a loss of 1.38 million sperm per milliliter every year. That suggests that in the 11 years since 2011, it is likely that the average American man has lost another 15 million sperm per milliliter, bringing the total down to approximately 32 million.

As the Israeli scientists mentioned, one of the limitations of their study is the fact that they were studying the sperm of healthy sperm donors.
Sperm donors do not represent average fertility. Sperm banks screen donors and only take donations from men whose sperm qualify.
In fact, according to The Economist, a study in Boston found that only 44 percent of potential sperm donors were sufficiently fertile to qualify for donation by 2013, down from 69 percent a decade earlier.
There is a clinical name for low sperm count: oligozoospermia. Oligozoospermia is when a man has less than 15 million sperm per milliliter of semen. While some men suffering from oligozoospermia can conceive naturally, many find it harder to conceive without reproductive assistance and up to 70 percent are infertile.
Experts say that if young men who would someday like to be fathers are not worried about the quality and mobility of their sperm, they should be. Losing millions of sperm, even if the loss is only temporary, can quickly bring them down to having a low sperm count.
With the combined effects on sperm quality from COVID-19 infection itself and COVID-19 vaccination, we may see the birth rate in every country declining even more than the “jaw-dropping global crash” that has already been predicted.

“Spike proteins from the vaccine go everywhere—your testes, your ovaries, your bone marrow,” said Dr. Osvaldo Villarreal, M.D., a pediatrician based in San Antonio, Texas and the owner of Abrazos Optimum Health. “The implications of this is huge. We should be very concerned,” he said. “We don’t know how it’s going to affect us.”
“Everyone should be concerned,” agreed Dr. Jane Orient, M.D., an internal medicine doctor with over 40 years of clinical experience and the executive director of the Association of American Physicians and Surgeons.
“We don’t have any long-term studies and we can’t because the vaccines haven’t been around that long. But there have been signals coming from fertility clinics—that they can’t make viable fetuses and they’re also having trouble getting sperm to work—these are anecdotal reports. But certainly, this is of great concern. We cannot know the long-term effects on cancer, fertility, autoimmune issues, and birth defects. There just hasn’t been enough time.”
