ACX had an interesting post about this: https://astralcodexten.substack.com/p/declining-sperm-count-...

It gave me the impression that there's not a consensus that sperm counts prior to 30 years ago have been declining steadily, let alone agreement on the overall causes. The Euronews article seems to be a write-up of one meta-analysis rather than an overview of the current state of knowledge.

In their defense, a meta-analysis is supposed to be an overview of the current state of the literature.

During the last years I read a lot of meta-analysis of ivermectin and hidroxycloroquine. My conclusion is garbage in, garbage out. There are good meta-analysis and bad meta-analysis.
