This is important to understand because it could have a longer term impact on male fertility is an immune response against sperm may have been activated. Longer term risk with COVID-19 vaccines are unknown and all unusual patterns related to vaccination could indicate trends towards future issues.
I'm just trying to understand this and hope my question makes sense. Could the increase in sperm count and motility somehow be an indicator of an autoimmune response? Thank you for your informative videos!
My question- This is a study done early in the vaccine rollout. In June 2021, the Covid vaccine was only available for the previous 3 months to those who were elderly, immunocompromised and with pre-existing conditions. Who were and what age were these studies done on? Next question- June 2021 is over 1 year ago, what about recent studies? There will be a greater, more diverse pool to choose from at this point (August 2022).
This exact issue (antibodies against sperm) is being discussed in this session on Jonathan Jay Coueys latest podcast stream at approximately 2h 25 minutes https://www.twitch.tv/videos/1574419199
Reading in the title 'later rebound increase' it would have been nice to know what the original level was and and if the 'increased to 30 million/ml' was back to normal level or... if it was still way off the mark. However, just after googling normal/average sperm levels, isn't the 30 mil still a poor level? BTW the Gonzalez study link did not work.

Interesting & informative as always Dr.McM! Thanks.
Next serious study needs to be to check, if the sperms DNA has been affected/altered?
gmo sperm?
