This upcoming JAMA-published study examined whether the COVID-19 vaccine impacts male fertility. (We know there is a lot of vaccine hesitancy out there surrounding fertility rumors and we wanted to answer this question once and for all). The same researcher also published work where he found that the COVID virus can live in penile tissue for up to 7 months post infection and can cause erectile dysfunction (See Newswise release here). As well, he is the researcher who also found the COVID virus in the testicles, which has implications for fertility and potential sexual transmission: COVID-19 Can Infect Testes with Potential Implications for Male Fertility (newswise.com)
