    Just need a bit of common sense to see what a load of rubbish this is. Would you be able to get a hard-on when you're very ill? Your libido would probably be rock bottom. Sex is probably the last thing on your mind when you're dog-sick in bed.

    Any disease or illness than runs down your immune system, and saps your energy levels is going to slow down your erections.
    No different to a cold or flu or whatever.
    But it's only temporary.

    it's not necessarily a transient thing, it's a symptom of long covid.

    COVID-19 increases the risk of developing erectile dysfunction (ED) by nearly six times, according to data from the first study to investigate the association between ED and COVID-19 in young men in a real-life setting.

    ED can be both a short-term and a long-term complication of COVID-19, Jannini suggests.

    "When offered, men should have the COVID vaccination. It also gives a whole new meaning to wearing the mask ― mask up to keep it up," he says. "It could possibly have the added benefit of preventing sexual dysfunction."

    Long covid is a different story. It is a very debilitating disease.
    You would definitely want to avoid it.
    Fortunately it is very rare.
    But I would still not take any chances, so I am fully vaxed

    It's a sample size of 100, hardly a definitive study!

    It's not as rare as you think, actually it's normal for hospitalised cases to have long covid. I heard even some mild cases get it.

    ‘Long COVID’ may occur in more than half of all hospitalised cases: research

    AZ vaccine is extremely low risk.

    The actual figures in Australia are a very small sample but here they are anyway, FWIW:-

    87 events, 5 deaths.

    Compared to administered vaccine doses this results in the following:-

    Age 40-49, 3 deaths, 1:407,665
    Age 50-59, 1 death, 1:1,513,656
    Age 70-79, 1 death, 1:1,445,061

    yes, there were (i think) 3 more deaths since the article was written but also a lot more doses administered. still an extremely low death rate.

    the guy who wrote the article is very credible:

    Hassan Vally, Associate Professor, La Trobe University

    Epidemiologist with experience in the analysis and interpretation of health data. My interests span both infectious diseases and chronic disease epidemiology and I have published over 70 peer-reviewed articles. I teach epidemiology at postgraduate level.

    It that case it's even more ridiculous to cite not only one but two graphs comparing hang gliding with TTS and have it called it health data.

    People with so much experience and knowledge should know better.

    This could be fake news, just look at how they depicted the chart as if comparing white men and black men

    Yeah, it shows the floppy black dick is bigger than the erect white dick. Wonder who it was trying to denigrate?

    it's not fake news, it's backed up by multiple studies (i posted links to 2). the choice of colours is a bit unfortunate though. a joke that went a bit wrong.

    Not necessarily they saying that up up to 5% of people who get COVID suffer from Long COVID and can experience symptoms for up to 3 months or possibly longer.
