April 7, 2021 -- COVID-19 increases the risk of developing erectile dysfunction (ED) by nearly six times, according to data from the first study to investigate the association between ED and COVID-19 in young men in a real-life setting. The preliminary numbers also indicated that having ED also increased men’s susceptibility to SARS-CoV-2 infection. Men with ED are more than five times more likely to have COVID-19. For men with a history of COVID-19, the estimated risk of developing ED was 5.66 higher. Those numbers remained even after other factors considered. The study, which was led by Emmanuele A. Jannini, MD, professor of endocrinology and medical sexology, University of Rome Tor Vergata, Rome, Italy, was published on 20 March in Andrology.
Five vaccinated Ohioans will win $1 million each through a new lottery announced Wednesday, in one of the largest financial incentives announced by a state to combat declining demand for the COVID-19 vaccine. Starting May 26, the state will award $1 million each week to an adult who has received at least the first dose of the COVID-19 vaccine, Gov. Mike DeWine said. There will be five total drawings. "I know that some may say, 'DeWine, you’re crazy! This million-dollar drawing idea of yours is a waste of money,'" the governor said during an address Wednesday. "But truly, the real waste at this point in the pandemic -- when the vaccine is readily available to anyone who wants it -- is a life lost to COVID-19."
I think that is what we're going to see here, but because of resistance on a level they didn't expect, the government is going to really push methods of making you want to 'volunteer'. Expect a lot of carrot at the start. Win $1000000 with a little jab! Here's a stimulus cheque if you get a shot! Get preferential seating and VIP service at your local Sizzlers when you show your 'I'm innoculated' MyGov App digital passport......
Do you mean a shot there AT the stadium? As in, they jab you there? How in the hell does that help anything even if this did what is printed on the box.
Democratic New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo also announced that both sports venues will be designated walk on vaccination sites that do not require reservations for fans attending games. Fans who get vaccinated at games will receive free tickets as an incentive.
“We will set up at the game a facility as you’re going in, come a little bit early and get your vaccine at the game. It’s on your way, stop and get a vaccine. If you get a vaccine, you get a free ticket to a Yankee or Mets game,” said Cuomo.

I'm pretty sure they're not only talking about while you're sick. According to their claims, just by having had Covid, you are now more likely to have ED problems at some point later on down the road.
Having had COVID 19 and despite the fact that you end up flat on your back gasping for breath i have to say sex is the last thing i imagine most people have on there minds nor agenda whilst infected.
For men with a history of COVID-19, the estimated risk of developing ED was 5.66 higher. Those numbers remained even after other factors considered.

"Mask Up to Keep It Up"
ED can be both a short-term and a long-term complication of COVID-19, Jannini suggests.
from same article linked in OP
He points out that older age, diabetes, high body mass index (BMI), and smoking increase the risk of contracting COVID-19.
"These are the same as risk factors for ED. Results of our study agree with the pathophysiological mechanisms linking ED, endothelial dysfunction, and COVID-19. Basically, endothelial dysfunction is common in both conditions [COVID-10 and ED].
Similarly, patients who have ED "should consider their erectile impairment as a sign of possible underlying conditions that could increase the likelihood of suffering from COVID‐19," they write.

I saw your first installment. The mods were right to
take it down as it would have fetched corruption.
This is a far better effort indeed.
How asinine is this lottery crap eh?
Oh please take it we'll pay you one million dollars. (paraphrased)
It's like the mark of the beast or some sh!t.
BTW way telling men COVID causes ED while the vaccine is known to not stop you from getting COVID really isn't much incentive to get vaccinated.
If I'm being completely honest, for a guaranteed million $$, I'd let them stick the the needle directly into my wiener. Not the lottery of course, but if it's a guarantee, I'm in.
