There appears to be a male fertility crisis in the making, notably within the developed world. The problem has been highlighted in numerous articles in the Western media this year1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8—largely in response to the publication of a major study conducted by a team of researchers led by Hagai Levine, MD, MPH of Hebrew University of Jerusalem.9

The study, a meta-analysis of 185 studies of 42,935 men from North America, Europe, Australia and New Zealand who provided semen samples, found that sperm concentrations decreased by 52.4 percent between 1973 and 2011, while the total sperm counts dropped by 59.3 percent.9 10 11

These findings strongly suggest a significant decline in male reproductive health that has serious implications beyond fertility and reproduction, given recent evidence linking poor semen quality with higher risk of hospitalization and death.10

According to reproductive epidemiologist Shanna Swan, PhD of the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai in New York, there have been other studies showing sperm counts may be declining around the world, but this recent study is the largest and most comprehensive thus far and was designed to settle any doubts there might have been regarding the earlier findings.12

In 2012, a smaller study conducted by researchers from the Institut de Veille Sanitaire in St Maurice, France analyzed data from 126 fertility clinics in France and found that sperm concentrations had progressively decreased by 1.9 percent annually from 1989 to 2005 and total sperm counts had dropped by 33.4 percent.13

A large meta-analysis of 61 studies published in the British Medical Journal in 1992 found that sperm counts decreased by 42 percent between 1938 and 1991, but the results were called into question due to a number of factors, including the possibility that some of the men studied had had fertility problems and inconsistencies in laboratory methods and statistical analysis.14

In an interview on NPR’s Morning Edition radio show, Peter Schlegel, MD of Weill Cornell Medicine in New York said that he thought this latest meta-analysis is “the best study that’s ever been done” and that he was concerned that it “suggests such a progressive and dramatic decrease in sperm counts over time.” Schlegel added that the consistent and continuing declines in sperm concentrations and counts are particularly “worrisome” because “we don’t know what could be causing it.”12

While scientists and doctors offer a variety of possible reasons for the lower sperm concentrations and counts, such as smoking by women pregnant with boys. In an article in Forbes magazine a few months ago, cancer epidemiologist Geoffrey Kabat, PhD  suggested the “behaviors” of pregnant women are to blame for low sperm counts in males. He opined, “There is strong evidence that maternal behaviors—particularly, smoking—during pregnancy  can cause reduced sperm counts in adulthood.”14

 Dr. Kabat also mentioned that a likely “culprit” is endocrine disruption caused by exposure of humans to environmental chemicals that affect hormonal balance and could lead to falling sperm counts, as well as increased birth defects and cancer.14

Other reasons given for the diminishing sperm counts range from increasing rates of obesity and a more sedentary lifestyle to greater levels of stress.

But no one has been able to come up with evidence to indicate the exact cause.14 15 Interestingly, in discussions within the scientific and medical communities about possible causes, there has been little or no mention of the effect vaccines might have on sperm, specifically with regard to the chemical compound known as Triton X-100.

Triton X-100 is a “nonionic surfactant” that is used as a detergent in vaccines, including the following influenza vaccines: Fluarix, Flublok, and Fluzone.16 17 Another name for Triton X-100 is octoxynol 9 or octoxynol 10 or octylphenol ethoxylate.16 18 Note that octoxynol 9 is also a vaginal spermicide, designed to “strip” sperm so they are no longer able to fertilize an egg. It is used in the following vaginal spermicide products: Koromex Cream and Ortho-Gynol.19 20

Could there be a relationship between the ingredient Triton X-100 in some vaccines and the growing problem of male infertility?

  1. Triton X-100 could be one factor for reduced male fertility. Another factor could be glyphosate in Roundup. The paper by Anthony Samsel and Stephanie Seneff “Glyphosate, pathways to modern diseases III: Manganese..” describes the role of the essential trace element manganese in the human body. Glyphosate is a metal chelator binding up manganese to prevent use by the human body, one essential function is sperm motility. Glyphosate has been found in vaccines traced to the bovine protein, bovine calf serum, bovine casein, egg protein and/or gelatin, sourced from animals feed GMO feed saturated with Roundup, used for the production of the vaccines. (See Anthony Samsel and Stephanie Seneff “Glyphosate, pathways to modern diseases VI:…”)

    Sacrificing lives for profit is good for business, so we are slowly poisoning ourselves to extinction.

    1. The declining sperm counts are a Western phenomenon.
      Most likely glyphosate, other herbicides, and pesticides and plastics related toxins, not to forget contraceptive pill residues in the water.
      The vaccine excipients are very small quantities and likely not long lived. Their toxicity has been shown on direct exposure to sperm. Any effect on spermatogenesis would have to be via a completely different mechanism to direct exposure to sperm.
      Pinning this one on vaccines is drawing a long bow- and it diverts attention from the big problem (glyphosate).
      Meanwhile, I would say the smart money is on the end of WESTERN civilisation as we know it. That may not be a bad thing.

  2. The goal of the global elites is to reduce the population dramatically.Is there a better way than to brainwash the populace to get their flu shot and include in that vaccine abortionist compounds.In NAZI Germany they took you to Ashwitz.Today The sheeple line up and pay to destroy themselves.Such an easier way to cull the population,and most have no clue what is really going on.Read the manufacturers insert that include adverse side effects.If only NVIC could come up with the money for a full page ad in the New York Times listing those side effects then the whole game that has been going on for to long would end,and all would be awakened.

  3. I wonder what will happen to the human race. Funny how we conflate the end of the human species with catastrophe. Not a catastrophe for Mother Earth – she would be far healtheirband happier, as would every animal and blade of grass, if humans died out as I believe we are actively doing to ourselves right now. It Ian going to be interesting to see the end of the species and I am amazed it has not happened before now. this sperm count article is compelling and surprise surprise that a spermicide is in the vaccines?!

    1. I don’t think that is so; there has always been checks & balances tucked up Nature’s sleeve & these eugenic episodes never do seem to end in a positive light.

      I think Earth would thrive under the stewardship of a healthy population. It should no longer be a surprise to anyone advocating against compulsory immunization that the Population Control agenda is financed from the same source as the Global Immunization policies are.

      It should not be a shock for one to understand that the Gates Foundation has been funding a small Biotech company in India since the early 2000’s that now owns the patents for an anti-fertility vaccine. Patents that the US funded the research for, from all the way back in 1985.

      The active ingredient is called hcg (human chorionic gonadotropin) & it is typically added to the Tetanus Toxoid. This product has been used in several less developed countries since 1997 & in Kenya, it has resulted in the closure of a pharmaceutical manufacturer.

      Beware silly attempts to throw off the scent, such as environmental or nuclear/electronic/microwave suspicions. The only one that may hold any validity in the West is that the hcg would be easily incorporated into the water fluoridation.

      Actually, it’s already been detected in the US drinking water. The CDC response? “It’s from all the women on birth control pills peeing”. Okay.

  4. yup. glyphosate is an endocrine disruptor. Good catch Sci-reader. The elites all eat organic, last I heard. No joke. Obama Romney Gates fo’ sho’. Peace.

  5. What about the Radiation coming out of the cell phones? There are many pediatricians now telling boys with phones not to keep them in their pockets if they want to have children when they get older. Could this be a part of the puzzle too?

  6. I don’t believe it is necessarily possible to narrow down the cause of declining sperm counts. Multiple factors are likely to blame and I think there is some variation from place to place. However, avoiding the obvious things would make sense, IMO. We know a lot of conventional personal care products contain endocrine disrupting chemicals, our water is often contaminated with numerous toxins and GMO foods are laced with pesticides. I think it goes without saying that vaccination is generally counterproductive for long term health and i think that would include fertility.

  7. In order to know whether and to what extent Triton X-100 is a contributing factor in this, they would need to conduct a study comparing the sperm counts of men who get regular flu shots to that of those who don’t, and they can even discover a dose-response relationship by asking the men how many flu shots they have had in their lives. So who wants to volunteer to carry out this study?

  8. Consider doing a more Real study on the consequences of sperm. Take some live sperm and simply inject it with Aluminum, Mercury, Formaldehyde, human fetal cell DNA, parts of pigs, cows, dogs, monkeys, insects, msg, ether, polysorbate 80, and other toxic vaccine ingredients with or without glyphosate and then see what happens? Get back to me ASAP with your clinical findings..ok?

  9. After thousands of hours spent studying vaccines, I am sure that the various components are some causes of the phenomenon of falling sperm cell counts. I can attest as well to the fact that the mild opioid Tramadol is also a cause of low sperm count. I would not be surprised if other opioid pain medicines have that effect as well. The following is my research paper on the effects that arise from vaccines.
