The article, published in the journal Human Reproduction Update in November 2022 by an international team of researchers, reviewed 2,936 scholarly abstracts and 868 full articles and analyzed data from 38 sperm count studies done on six continents, updating their landmark study of 2017.

The 2017 study found sperm counts had fallen in North America, Europe, and Australia by over 50 percent in a fifty-year span. The current study updated this data as well as added data from South/Central America, Asia, and Africa.

“The aim of this study was to examine trends in sperm count among men from all continents. The broader implications of a global decline in sperm count, the knowledge gaps left unfilled by our prior analysis, and the controversies surrounding this issue warranted an up-to-date meta-analysis,” said the authors.

The analysis found that while sperm counts had declined at the average rate per year of 1.16 percent between 1972 and 2000, the rate of decline since 2000 has increased to an average of 2.64 percent per year.

They should worry much more about the egg count. No joke.

You can thank every Boomer in power right now for having in a single generation destroyed the country that their parents, fought and died to preserve from the scourge that was Nazism and Communism.

Newsflash folks. The leftists won. They destroyed the country and they did it precisely how the Russians and Chinese said they would. It amazes me how in the 1980’s a Russian on Television warned our country of what was coming, and it came to happen precisely the way it was told.
