Women Shop Sketchy Facebook Group Founded by ‘The Sperminator’ for Anti-Vax Sperm Donors

A growing number of soon-to-be moms have started seeking out unvaccinated sperm donors, believing that the COVID-19 vaccine damages the reproductive system.

Jonathan David Rinaldi, a failed politician better known as 'The Sperminator,' is a prolific sperm donor who was a longtime active member of the Facebook group Sperm Donation USA, allegedly, the largest sperm donation group in America. His life as a "known donor" was profiled in a 2022 "Humans of New York" post.

However, the 44-year-old noticed that a lot of potential moms were asking for donors who were not vaccinated. As a proud anti-vaxxer, Rinaldi decided to start a separate group just for like-minded folks who are fueled by misinformation and anecdotal evidence.

"I don't trust big government, big pharma, I don't trust them, and I don't need to inject myself with things that I don't even know what it is," Rinaldi told the Daily Mail. 

The anti-vaxxers in Rinaldi's group seem to buy into the widely spread idea that a man's sperm can be negatively affected by the COVID-19 vaccine, despite no actual evidence and the CDC repeatedly demonstrating the safety and effectiveness of the vaccine.

Thankfully, there's a good amount of evidence that this anti-vax sperm donor movement is ultimately pretty limited.

The group is only about 250 people so far and Cryos, one of America's largest sperm banks, told the Daily Mail that 'very few clients requesting information about unvaccinated donors.'
