An Alarming Finding: Spike Protein Expression in the Testes After COVID-19 Injection

An excerpt from Taylor Hudak’s interview with Prof. Arne Burkhardt

Written by Taylor Hudak

At a conference in Stockholm in January 2023, Prof. Burkhardt delivered a speech in which he provided a personal comment about fertility:

“If I were a woman in fertile age, I would not plan a motherhood from a man who had been vaccinated, unless…”

The statement came after Prof. Burkhardt discussed findings involving spike protein expression observed in the spermatogonia (the cells that produce sperm) of mRNA-vaccinated patients. However, he was interrupted by an applause from the crowd and did not complete his statement. 

This portion of the speech went viral on the social media, leaving many to wonder what else Prof. Burkhardt intended to say.

During his interview with Taylor Hudak, he said, with regard to the speech, “I wanted to add something, but I was quickly interrupted by a big applause to this…  I got many telephone calls from women saying — what did you want to say? Unless what?”

Prof. Burkhardt shares that one should at least wait for two or three cycles of spermatogenesis or three-quarters of a year before becoming pregnant by a vaccinated man. One cycle of spermatogenesis is approximately 70 days.

Additionally, he suggests one undergo further testing to determine the quality of the sperm. “Before this, I would suggest to make a spermatogram — examine the sperm and especially the vitality of the sperm.”

In his study, Prof. Burkhardt observed lymphocytic inflammation and spike protein expression in the testes of men who died shortly after vaccination. “This is, of course, an alarming finding.”

The image on the left, stained with HE, shows a lymphocyte cluster in the testes of a 55 year-old male, who died seven days after a second Pfizer injection. 

The image on the right, shows the spike protein expression in the spermatogonia of a 29 year-old man, who died 46 days after the second injection. It is worth noting that this patient is discussed earlier in the full interview and had died of a subarachnoid hemorrhage.

“On the left side, you see distinct lymphocytic nodule forming around a blood vessel, and so this is a lymphocytic vasculitis. And on the right side you can see the spermatogenic tubules of the testes, and you can see that the stratification (layering) usually is very regular, and you can see it is disturbed. Usually in the middle, in the lumen, there should be lots  of spermatocytes. You can see a few spermatocytes here, these are the very small elements. But what is conspicuous is that these larger elements, which are the spermatogonia, the cells that form the sperms, are detached and in the lumen of these small canals.”

One or two sperm cells can be seen in the canals in the image on the right. However, the canal should be filled with 30 or more sperm cells. Additionally, the stratification is completely destroyed. 

Prof. Burkhardt states that this condition would not likely lead to dramatic symptoms, but may lead to a decrease in

sexual activity as this is connected to spermatocyte production.

“We also found expression of spike protein in the prostate gland, and this is also part of the semen. So it should be affected, but not everybody would take a record of this.”
