What the mainstream media is hiding
According to an influential think tank of the United Nations and the World Economic Forum, the global birth rate must fall by around 80 percent by 2100. No problem: humanity is already becoming infertile. Soon, only the rich will be able to afford to reproduce
When the Club of Rome, an interdisciplinary group of experts from more than 30 countries, used computer models to show humanity “The Limits to Growth” in 1972, it sent shock waves around the planet. In the near future, it is predicted, the Earth’s system would collapse if we continued to consume its finite resources unchecked.
Half a century later, this bleak future seems to be upon us. At least, that is how it appears to “Earth4All,” an influential think tank that emerged from the Club of Rome and develops high-priced concepts for a better, sustainable future for the Davos World Economic Forum and the United Nations from its base in Winterthur, Switzerland. “Many people were shocked by the Club of Rome’s conclusion that exceeding the planet’s limits could lead to collapse,” the thought leaders explain. “Over the past 50 years, the world has followed the report’s worst-case scenario, and we are now seeing deep cracks in the Earth system and in societies.”
To counteract this at the eleventh hour, Earth4All is promoting nothing less than a Giant Leap. Instead of striving for further economic growth to ensure sufficient work, income, and food for a growing world population, “degrowth” must take place as quickly as possible: In order to conserve resources, it may be appropriate for “people in rich countries to change their diets, live in smaller houses, drive less, and travel less,” and consume less energy. (Earth4All does not mention whether these restrictions also apply to the leaders of the UN, the World Economic Forum, and their sponsors.) “Over the next ten years, the fastest economic transformation in history must take place if we are to save humanity from social and ecological catastrophe. It is time to modernize our economic system.” (1)
Among other things, this would require a drastic reduction in population. Earth4All proposes measures to reduce the number of births over the next 70 years by 81%, from 130 million to 24 million per year – a fivefold decrease.
How could this be achieved? To the disappointment of overly suspicious “conspiracy ideologues,” Earth4All sees the solution neither in vaccines nor toxic chemicals, neither in 5G nor in euthanasia for the elderly and other useless eaters. Rather, the plan is to eliminate the most important reasons for having children. Poorer people produce large numbers of children to help them in family businesses and to provide for their own old age – so there must be a massive transfer of wealth from rich to developing countries. Everywhere, women should be “empowered” to set more desirable life goals than motherhood.
Humanity is becoming infertile
Word has apparently not yet spread to Winterthur: soon, the specter of overpopulation could vanish on its own, without any action plan, thanks to exemplary resource conservation. While doom-mongering reset preachers continue to warn of the terrible consequences of overpopulation, a countervailing, no less fatal trend is becoming increasingly apparent: humanity is shrinking. Global population growth will soon reach a plateau and then decline; in “developed regions,” which include Europe, North America, Australia, New Zealand, and Japan, the UN expects to see a drastic decline as early as 2025. Worldwide, one in six people of childbearing age is already affected by fertility problems; in Germany, it is one in ten couples, and in the US, it is the same. Even among healthy couples under the age of 30, 40 to 60% fail to conceive within the first three months of unprotected sexual intercourse.
Birth rates worldwide have already reached a record low. Between 1960 and 2018, the number of children born fell by 50%.
This unprecedented decline affects both sexes equally and is most pronounced in wealthy countries. Among men, sperm counts have been in statistical decline for decades. As epidemiologist Dr. Shanna Swan of Mount Sinai Health System, a hospital network in New York, noted, the average count in 2011 was 47 million per milliliter, less than half the 1973 level of 99 million/ml. If the curve continues to fall at the current rate, it will be zero by 2045.
US epidemiologist Dr. Shanna Swan (photo) illustrated this in two excellent educational videos: “A Global Fertility Crisis” and “Endocrine Disruptors – Common Chemicals That Severely Alter Your Hormones”.
Swan’s shocking findings are shared by Hagai Levine, professor of epidemiology at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem. According to his study published in spring 2023, sperm counts fell by an average of 1.2% per year between 1973 and 2018. The decline has accelerated: since 2000, it has been 2.64% per year. “We are facing a public health crisis and we don’t know if it is reversible,” Levine explained in an interview with BBC News in March 2023.
In 40% of couples who are unable to have children, the cause lies solely with the woman. (In another 20% of cases, both partners contribute equally to the problem.) The most common cause is hormonal disorders.
Soon, couples who want to have children will have no choice but to give up their heart’s desire and settle for a pet – or seek medical assistance to reproduce. The online news magazine Salon comments: “If our average sperm count is less than 15 million per milliliter, only those who can afford expensive medical technologies such as in vitro fertilization (IVF) will be able to reproduce.” (Levine sets the threshold for the necessary sperm count at 40 million per milliliter.) Could conception, pregnancy, and childbirth remain confined to a relatively short, rather unhygienic early phase of human reproductive history, when technology was still too underdeveloped to allow the essential processes to take place outside the body? Transhumanists, at least, would have no problem with such prospects.
From EDCs to PFAS: Chemicals cause infertility
Anyone who is aware of the current state of research knows what factors have caused and continue to exacerbate the crisis. Among the main culprits are endocrine-disrupting chemicals (EDCs) such as phthalates and bisphenols, which are found in plastics, personal care products, cosmetics, processed and packaged foods. They directly impair the function of our steroid hormones: the messenger substances that transmit information between tissues; the most important of these are testosterone and estrogen, the male and female sex hormones.
Many EDCs mimic these natural hormones and replace them – unfortunately, they are far from being a perfect substitute. On the one hand, they jostle for position at their receptors (from Latin recipere = to receive): proteins or protein complexes to which certain signaling molecules can dock in order to initiate processes within the cell. EDCs bind to androgen or estrogen receptors, where they have either a similar or opposite effect.
This increases or decreases the expression of sex-specific genes: the way in which a gene manifests itself to form the biological structures and functions involved in reproduction.
P450 enzymes in the liver, which metabolize steroid hormones, may also be affected.
In addition, EDCs manipulate the enzymes involved—including cytochrome P450 in the liver, which metabolizes steroid hormones. EDCs also inhibit the activity of 5-alpha reductase, the most important enzyme in the production of dihydrotestosterone (DHT), the most biologically active form of the male sex hormone testosterone. Thus, 5-α-reductase regulates the masculinization of the external genitals and prostate.
As Dr. Shanna Swan explains, several problems can arise when there is a lack of testosterone during the development of a male fetus. His genitals may not develop properly. As he gets older, he may not have enough sperm to be fertile. There is also an increased risk of cancer. The evidence for all these negative effects has long been overwhelming. “Several studies around the world have found a decline in testosterone,” Shanna Swan notes. “We are seeing an increase in erectile dysfunction. We are seeing an increase in the rates of genital abnormalities. We are seeing an increase in testicular cancer rates.”
But that’s not all: EDCs can fragment the DNA in sperm, which can contribute to early miscarriages.
Of course, women are also affected: when exposed to high levels of EDCs, their ovaries no longer produce enough eggs to get pregnant at an unusually early age.
Another class of chemical culprits are per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS). They are found in grease- and stain-resistant products such as food packaging, clothing, cosmetics, and household items such as cookware. They are aptly referred to colloquially as “forever chemicals”: extremely stable, they are virtually non-degradable. As a result, they not only permanently pollute water and soil, but also accumulate in our bodies through food and contact with consumer products. A study published in 2022 found “a statistically significant association between exposure to a mixture of PFAS in early pregnancy and lower sperm concentration and total sperm count, as well as a higher proportion of non-motile and immotile sperm” in male offspring.
PFAS have also been shown to disrupt reproductive hormones. They delay the onset of puberty. In women, they increase the risk of endometriosis: pieces of tissue from the lining of the uterus grow outside the uterus, potentially blocking the fallopian tubes and ovaries to the extent that ovulation is prevented.
In addition, PFAS promote polycystic ovary syndrome, the most common hormonal disorder in women of childbearing age, affecting 5 to 10% of women: because it impairs the maturation of eggs, regular ovulation does not occur, making it difficult to become pregnant.
So-called “pesticides” also play a role. Organophosphates and N-methylcarbamates, two common classes of insecticides, reduce sperm count, as the journal Environmental Health Perspectives summarized findings from 20 studies involving a total of 1,774 adult men in November 2023.
Pesticides are also linked to reduced fertility in women, as well as ovarian disorders, stillbirths, premature births, and developmental abnormalities.
Electrosmog is also suspected.
Electromagnetic fields (EMFs) may also contribute to the observed decline in male sperm counts. Martin L. Pall, professor of biochemistry and basic medical sciences at Washington State University, discovered a previously unknown mechanism by which microwaves emitted by cell phones and other wireless technologies can cause biological damage: they activate voltage-gated calcium channels (VGCCs) embedded in cell membranes. When this happens, around one million calcium ions per second are released within the cell in an instant. This massive excess of calcium causes nitric oxide (NO) to form – both in the cell and in the mitochondria. Together with superoxide, NO is converted into superoxide. This highly reactive compound not only causes oxidative damage, but also forms free hydroxyl radicals, which destroy mitochondrial and nuclear DNA, their membranes, and proteins. This leads to dysfunctions that affect the quantity and function of sperm, especially their motility. As noted by a panel of experts on children’s health in 2013, “the testicular barrier that protects sperm is the most sensitive tissue in the body”; therefore, it is particularly vulnerable to cell phone radiation. The more frequent the exposure, the longer it lasts, and the stronger the EMF, the worse the effect.
Anyone who continues to deny that radiation from smartphones, tablets, Wi-Fi routers, etc. is harmful to our health has no clue about the current state of research—or is probably on the payroll of the mobile phone lobby. 130 studies and 13 reviews prove the effects on the concentration, vitality, shape, and motility of sperm; The environmental and consumer protection organization diagnose:funk has taken the trouble to compile a large part of this information in a database. Even the EU Parliament’s Committee on the Environmental Impact of Technology now considers the connection to be proven – as can be read in its research overview “Health Impact of 5G.” This has recently been confirmed by a comprehensive meta-analysis conducted by scientists at the elite Pusan University in South Korea. Political consequences are long overdue.
Is the emergency being brought about by vaccination?
Vaccines could exacerbate the trend toward infertility. Concerned doctors and scientists have pointed out early on that this is precisely the danger posed by COVID-19 vaccines: In sperm, egg cells, and the placenta, the vaccines could react with syncytin—a protein that plays a crucial role in the development of the placenta—and reproductive genes in a way that impairs reproduction.
A study published in the journal Andrology (2) has now confirmed how justified the warning was: Pfizer’s mRNA vaccine impairs sperm concentration and motility for around three months. Women of all ages complained of changes in their menstrual cycle after vaccination, which could affect fertility; in the UK alone, over 30,000 such reports were documented.
The more often women were “jabbed,” the more often they suffered from fertility problems.
There were increasing reports of deaths among newborns and breastfed babies (3). Austrian midwives reported an increase in complications during pregnancy and childbirth after Covid vaccination.
Around the globe, the birth rate fell after the start of the COVID vaccination campaign – more sharply than ever before in the past hundred years. Data from 19 European countries show an average decline of 7% for the first half of 2022: that is 110,059 fewer births than the average for the years 2019 to 2021. In five countries, the rate was above 10%.
In Germany, the birth rate fell by 10% in the first quarter of 2022 (4) and by 12.2% by the end of the year. In Switzerland, it was 15% lower than expected between January and April 2022, in the UK by 10%, and in Taiwan by 23%. In the Netherlands, it fell by 11%, in Sweden by 14%, in New Zealand and Australia by around 15%, in Hungary by 22%, and in Taiwan by 28%. (5)
Most US states also recorded a decline in live births. For North Dakota, for example, statistics show a decline of 10% in February 2022, 13% in March, and 11% in April, compared to the same months in the previous year.
In the five countries with the highest Covid vaccination rates, the birth rate fell by an average of 15.2%. In contrast, in the five countries with the lowest percentage of vaccinated people, it fell by an average of only 4.66%.
Infertility as a vaccine side effect: Is this, of course, a universally regretted, completely unintended side effect? The shocking documentary “Infertility: A Diabolic Agenda” casts doubt on this. As it revealed in 2022, the World Health Organization has been working on vaccines that cause infertility since the 1970s. In the mid-1990s, it emerged that UNICEF was using a tetanus vaccine in Africa that was laced with “human chorionic gonadotropin,” or hCG for short. The release of this hormone sends the first pregnancy signal to a woman’s body. It responds by causing the ovaries to produce progesterone, which maintains the pregnancy until term. Combined with tetanus toxin, this hCG was attacked and destroyed by the immune system of those who were vaccinated. This led to the mass sterilization of African women—without their knowledge or consent. (6) A courageous doctor from Kenya, Dr. Stephen Karanja, desperately sounded the alarm at the time: “When they are done with Africa, it will be your turn and your children’s turn.”
Will only the rich reproduce soon?
The fertility business is booming. By 2030, it is expected to reach a market volume of around $48 billion, with enormous further growth potential. This is because reproductive medicine is sinfully expensive – the more hesitant health authorities are in addressing the causes, the more its providers profit. A single cycle of in vitro fertilization (IVF), in which individual eggs are combined with prepared sperm in a test tube, can cost 2,000 to 3,000 euros, but also between 15,000 and 30,000 euros. And because the chance of becoming pregnant after the first cycle is only 29% and even after the sixth cycle only rises to 43%, the costs can add up to dizzying amounts.
In Germany, health insurance companies cover the costs, but only under certain conditions and usually only partially. Only married couples can hope to receive coverage; both spouses must be at least 25 years old, but the woman must be no older than 40 and the man no older than 50. In general, statutory health insurance companies then cover half of the treatment and medication costs for a total of eight cycles of insemination without prior hormonal stimulation, plus three cycles of insemination with hormonal stimulation, plus three cycles of IVF or intracytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI), in which a single sperm is injected directly into the cytoplasm of an egg using a micropipette. Private health insurance companies operate according to the “polluter pays” principle; if, for example, the man is sterile, they pay for the entire treatment, even if the wife has statutory insurance.
Elsewhere, those affected have to pay out of their own pockets. The majority are unable to afford this. And the number is growing. “Our species is facing a future in which only the rich will be able to reproduce,” fears Salon. Who else will be able to afford expensive reproductive technology? Two new social classes could emerge: a small number of wealthy reproducers would be opposed by a mass of financially disadvantaged infertile people – with enormous potential for conflict. To prepare for such a future, increasingly sophisticated technologies for social control are coming in handy.
