A MAN claims his penis has shrunk by an inch-and-a-half due to Covid, and doctors say it can't be fi

LOL... Well that's one story that will get men vaccinated. Can you imagine? LOL Get vaccinated!

https://www.the-sun.com/health/4445676/mans-penis-shrinks-covid-permanent/

Before, the 30-something American said his penis was above average size.

Urologists say “Covid d*ck” is a real phenomenon, whereby the penis can reduce in size due to damage to blood vessels.

For example, a study of 3,400 people led by University College London found that of 200 reported long Covid symptoms, a smaller penis was one of the rarer ones.

RW media can take any subject and negatively talk about the one case in a thousand that had a bad experience,
while never mentioning the 999 persons who had positives outcomes. It's part of how they brainwash.

would make many men insecure and more prone to rage and overcompensation. Many of my straight gf's have dumped men over teeny dicks (and too large too, as they hate being ripped up). There is a point apperently where size does matter.

To encourage getting vaxxed.

Maker of the little blue pill.


I suppose it would be easy to mix a little Pfizer Blue pill in with their Pfizer “booster”.

is that he thought they were all that size, but then got naked at the medical offices, and the nurses all laughed and laughed.

since so many of them are getting "natural immunity" instead of the vaccine.

COVID impotence is also a problem for the same reason, damage to blood vessels.

Ashley Winter MD, a urologist in Portland, US, and associated with Kaiser Permanente, explained that penile shrinkage after Covid is a domino effect of erectile dysfunction.

She told the podcast: “It is true that having erectile dysfunction leads to shortening.

“You have this period of time where the penis is not stretching itself out, where it’s not, you know, getting all this full blood into it, and that can lead to scarring of the penis and shortening of the penis.

“And that’s probably what you know your caller is referring to now.”

Men are only at risk of a smaller todger if the cause of their erectile dysfunction is physical, Dr Winter explained, such as cancer.

Sad when males measure their worth by the size of their donger.

Go exercise it, in private, by yourself, and it will grow back.

If not, just buy more guns.
