Vaccine Hold-Outs: COVID Infection Helps Remove R's From Gene Pool, Can Cause E.D, Sperm Ct. Decline

'Studies show COVID-19 helping to remove Republicans from gene pool in more than one way,' Daily Kos, July 27, 2021. - Edited.
For more than 18 months, its been clear that the SARS-CoV-2 virusoriginally better known as the novel coronaviruscan call serious lingering illness, as well as death. Many people whose initial brush with COVID-19 appeared to be mild have found themselves suffering lingering effects, including heart issues, lung issues, joint pain, dizziness, hearing loss, and memory problems that can mimic or lead to Alzheimer's. COVID-19 has also led directly to thousands of instances of amputations. COVID-19 patients have found themselves needing kidney, lung, double-lung, or heart-lung transplants. And then theres the little matter of over 600,000 deaths (more likely close to a million) in the United States alone.
It might seem that all of that would be enough to make anyone rush to the nearest available source of vaccine and elbow their way to the front of the line. In fact, that seems to be happening in other countries. In Canada, 71% of the total population is at least partially vaccinated. Thats a full 15% higher than the United States. But then, Canadathough it certainly has vaccine protestersdoesnt have a major faction of its people dedicated to the idea that accepting rationality is surrendering to the enemy.
As Civiqs shows, Republicans are still locked into a vaccine hostile position, with 44% saying they will not take the vaccine. This number has not been dented by the delta variant surge, or by the lukewarm endorsements of the vaccine cautiously mouthed by GOP politicians. It seems that there may be nothing which will change Republicans minds and get them to take action thats not only vital for the nation, but for themselves. We might as well give up and Oh, wait a sec Dear Republican men, COVID-19 makes your dick limp. Please form an orderly line.
Market Watch may not seem like the first name to turn to for medical news, but Dr. Ranjith Ramasamy, the author of the Market Watch article, is also one of the members of a team which found that COVID-19 causes both erectile dysfunction and infertility in men. For months, rumors have been circulating about the COVID-19 vaccines causing such issues. Those rumors are simply untrue. There is no evidence that the vaccines can cause infertility among men or women. But the disease certainly can. In a study Dr. Ramasamy and a team or urologists found that half of those tested had reduced sperm count. A sampling showed that not only were sperm counts reduced, COVID-19 can continue to live in the testes months after the initial infection...

They might just start to think about it. I am ok if they can not procreate.
