Sperm counts and testosterone have been dropping rapidly but I didn't think teens were now worse off than 65 YOs

Supposedly this is (of course) a lie/mischaracterization by RFK, that the study is comparing t/sperm levels of kids from the 70s with kids now, and so the kids from the 70s might have had higher levels but now they are in their 60s so...

also 65yo are likely to have defective sperm more than teens.

Am I being dense here? I thought this was just medical info, not like... Anything weird or sexual (in a non-medical sense)?

I'm not saying he's correct, and I certainly loathe the brain-worm ridden freak, but saying it's "not appropriate" for the Secretary of Health to know if something concerning is happening with sperm count seems a bit hyperbolic.

Great, the old dinosaurs are hoarding wealth, power, control over our future, and now to find out sperm as well…

Are they saying that they want 65 year old men to impregnate teenagers? Island boys together strong.

Because of micro plastics they won’t do any thing to stop.
