The title is misleading, the abstract very specifically calls out that we don’t have clinical evidence as of yet that this reduces men’s ability to reproduce
The actual title of the paper which OP deliberately changed away from is:
“Evaluating the impact of COVID-19 on male reproduction”
- giuliomagnifico 6y agoWell I can edit the title but I wrote "can reduce" not "is sure that Covid-19 reduces", this is the short excerpt for the title. "Current studies have documented that SARS-CoV-2, which causes COVID-19, can damage the male reproductive system [...]"
- tmitchel2 6y agoI was expecting the title to be changed because you wrote 'can edit', probs should have said you were going to evaluate a change in title instead.
- Udik 6y ago"Can reduce" seems to express an actual possibility (as in: it does reduce fertility in a % of infected men). If there is uncertainty it reduces fertility at all, I'd rather say "might reduce".
