Because the point of posting these articles is to keep an atmosphere of suspicion and distrust around science and COVID vaccine in particular.

Scare quoting temporarily plats into a particular irrational belief that COVID vaccination (maybe all vaccination) renders American men sterile.

Were you aware of this effect before reading about it here? I wasn't.

Could that have maybe been a reason for posting it?

The addition of scare quotes makes me say "no, that's not a good reason". If it were just science news, it wouldn't have them.

This particular post is just to promote suspicion about science and COVID vaccine.

That's an interesting hypothesis, but the linked article is not science news, it's an academic paper.

The title shown here is unfortunately editorialized, but the actual paper's title is "Covid-19 vaccination BNT162b2 temporarily impairs semen concentration and total motile count among semen donors".

I attempted to submit the link with its actual title, but unfortunately it just sent me to this thread. Aside from the title, this submission doesn't seem flagworthy to me.
