According to [media reports](https://www.stuff.co.nz/national/health/coronavirus/127155058/nerds-take-covid19-message-from-lab-to-jab-with-hiphop-tune-vax-the-nation?ref=goodoil.news), Dr Joel Rindelaub, a research fellow who studies aerosol chemistry, is the star and producer of a hip-hop music video – Vax the Nation – which he performs decked out in 90s garb, a white coat and mirrored sunglasses. He performs alongside local rapper Randa and some medical professionals and politicians.

But rather than being a positive contribution to the vaccination campaign, it’s more of a cringe-fest with foul language and grubby undertones.

We’ve produced a clean version which is more family-friendly

It’s so weak that it’s even gained attention overseas – not in a positive way. None other than Ben Shapiro!

But here’s the interesting thing. You’ll have seen the obsession with ‘sexual performance’.

Here’s an interesting [commentary](https://healthcare.utah.edu/healthfeed/postings/2021/09/covid-and-erectile-dysfunction.php?ref=goodoil.news) on the issue:

> Although there is still much to learn, early studies have shown that approximately [30% of COVID-19 patients](https://healthcare.utah.edu/locations/covid-19-clinic/?ref=goodoil.news#covid19longhaulersymptoms) will continue to experience symptoms after they have recovered. [Symptoms](https://healthcare.utah.edu/locations/covid-19-clinic/?ref=goodoil.news#covid19longhaulersymptoms) for this condition – referred to as “long-COVID” – include symptoms of the disease itself: fatigue, shortness of breath, cough, joint pain, chest pain, and more. And researchers at University of Utah Health and around the world are continuing to investigate other ways that COVID-19 can impact patients long-term – namely, **erectile dysfunction in men**.

> Urologic surgeon [Dr. Jim Hotaling, M.D., M.S., FECSM](https://healthcare.utah.edu/fad/mddetail.php?physicianID=u0908993&name=james-m-hotaling&ref=goodoil.news) is helping educate patients and the community on whether there is a correlation between COVID and erectile dysfunction. Hotaling – a leading expert in male infertility in the Intermountain West – is the Director of the Men’s Health Clinic at University of Utah Health. “Generally speaking, when men recover from COVID-19 their sperm counts and hormone levels all seem to be normal,” said Hotaling. “The only caveat here is that any illness that carries a fever impacts sperm count for 60 to 70 days.”

> Although some online articles assert that COVID-19 does in fact cause erectile dysfunction, Hotaling **offers a word of caution and advice** when considering the data. “**There are some studies being done with very small sample sizes**,” said Hotaling. “**So, while these may show a correlation between COVID-19 and erectile dysfunction, it’s important to look at all variables before coming to a conclusion**.”

So what studies might our aerosol expert and rapper be relying on?

A small, self-reported April 2020 [survey](https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC8250520/?ref=goodoil.news) of 25 sexually active Italian men who had COVID (v 75 who didn’t) ***suggests*** a link between ED and COVID-19 infection. **25** men**.**

In another study, researchers found [viral particles in penis biopsies](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/33988001/?ref=goodoil.news), taken from two men who previously had COVID-19\. Yes – **TWO** men.

The other [study](https://wjmh.org/DOIx.php?id=10.5534/wjmh.200170&ref=goodoil.news) is of 6 men – yes, **SIX** – from Florida who died from COVID in the middle of 2020.

> So rather than focus on and highlight the very real threat of the SARS-CoV-2 virus to the **lungs**, **heart**, **kidneys**, & **liver**, this c-rap video decided to focus in a grubby way on sexual performance.

Interestingly, there IS significant [research](https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC6893937/?ref=goodoil.news) showing that cannabis affects sexual performance. We didn’t see any of that commentary or a rap video on that issue, did we.

Sigh!
