He's just saying that so he can get his hand on fesh teen sperm to study it. Soon trump will announce he personally wants to investigate the decline of pubic hairs amongst young girls. So give them a break guys, these are hard times for the conservatives who are just trying to do their jobs.

get his hand on fesh teen sperm to study it
We all know he's going to cook it and eat it.
How else is he supposed to study it exactly?
on camera? again?

No shit we have microplastics in our bodies including our balls. So no surprise if effects sperm count.
not my balls!
Hah, and this administration is the one that is going to fix that. LOL. Yeah, right.
Do people in their 70s somehow have less plastic in their balls?
We've added a lot of plastics to our life in the last decades. And much took its time to break down (into pieces, not molecules).
Oh, and they mean men in the 1970s, not 70 year old men.
90% of all plastic ever produced as of ten years ago, had been produced in the preceding ten years, and massive new production has come online since then.
The problem is a lot bigger than just microplastic I'm afraid, and bigger than male fertility.
Part of what I dislike about this is how this is a totally reasonable question to ask as a scientific study if one is actually concerned, but no the secretary of health and human services would rather talk out his ass
There are studies about it.
They are full of problems, because it's something hard to measure. But idiots have been repeating that like for ages like if it was undoubtedly true.
He didn't word it right and hes probably got ulterior motives, but the male infertility crisis is a real thing.
As with all thing in the sciences, there's nuance here, too.
https://consultqd.clevelandclinic.org/no-cause-for-panic-as-sperm-counts-found-to-be-steady
does that account for Sperms Georg?
There is some controversy but more studies point towards infertility than steady rates. The very study you linked could have discluded people who have already been impacted by fertility issues
This study does not address whether infertility is on the rise. “We didn't track men who were fertile who became infertile."
That's bullshit and medical establishments are full of fucking shit.
a Worldwide problem, sperm counts are down. I think it's clear it's connected to the worldwide crash in insect populations, 90% since the 1990s, and amphibians. Chemical pollution no doubt, endocrine disruptors and whatever else.
Ya know,
I wouldn't be surprised to find out that he genuinely knows through taste-testing while on drug-fuelled benders

On the plus side out balls are crammed full of micro plastics........wait
Who is that on the left?
Oh. Oh no.
On behalf of the whole world:
Has been uh... generating samples?
The quality of sperm and the volume declines with age.
This is well known, and would have taken him two seconds to find a study on nih.gov about this. Not that it matters, since he's operating by "feel" instead of fact.
Is he saying old men? I read it as teens today have less than men in the 1970's.
“In 1970, men had twice the sperm count as our teenagers do today,” Kennedy said Monday. “This is an existential crisis for our country.”
"men in the '70s" = men in the 1970s, not "men in their 70s"
Just clarifying. I think he's an idiot.
My bad, I shouldn't have commented before fully waking up :)
Not to give him too much credit, but it sounds like that's what he's trying to say. Men in the 70's, who reasonably should have lower production than teenagers, have more when compared to the teens of today.
It seems to be that he is talking about it in the worst way possible, considering his reputation I'm not surprised. It just a situation which undermines the factual evidence.
