Scientists Find Shocking Link Between COVID and Alzheimer's — Best Life
My note: THERE IS NOTHING SHOCKING ABOUT THIS. LOOK AT THE STUDIES GOING BACK TO 2020!!!
Covid and Brain Damage

Frontiers | Serum angiotensin type-1 receptor autoantibodies and neurofilament light chain as markers of neuroaxonal damage in post-COVID patients
“Dysregulation of autoimmune responses and the presence of autoantibodies (AA), particularly those related to the renin-angiotensin system (RAS), have been implicated in the acute phase of COVID-19, and persistent dysregulation of brain RAS by RAS-related autoantibodies may also contribute to neurological symptoms of post-COVID.”

Mapping brain changes in post-COVID-19 cognitive decline via FDG PET hypometabolism and EEG slowing
Cognitive decline is a common symptom of post-COVID-19 syndrome. However, the mechanisms underlying this deficit remain poorly understood. This study aims to investigate the relationship between brain metabolic and neurophysiological alteration patterns in patients with persistent subjective cognitive decline after mild COVID-19 using joint FDG-PET and EEG analyses.

“Crying reading young ppl in TikTok comments discover in real time that they have brain damage from past covid infections. No one’s ever told them that it’s connected and they’re panicking because they’ve had Covid so many times. So heartbroken and angry that we’ve let this happen”

Long-term outcomes of patients with a pre-existing neurological condition after SARS-CoV-2 infection
“COVID-19 survivors were at higher adjusted risk of mortality, major adverse cardiovascular events, fatigue, sleep disturbance, and dyspnea. • COVID-19 may be a risk factor for onset of symptoms and adverse events in patients with neurological conditions”

Lacking focus, tired always? Could be brain fog
“Brain fog may gradually evolve into a slight memory problem, difficulty finding the right word for things, objects, situations and then registering new information.”
A widely held notion is that SARS2 activates our immune systems, causing an inflammatory response in the brain.

“Other infections such as syphilis, cryptococcosis and Lyme disease have been associated with NPH. Possible mechanisms for NPH after COVID include disruption of choroid plexus cells by direct viral invasion or as a result of neuroinflammation and cytokine release and hypercoagulability leading to venous congestion and abnormalities of CSF flow.”

Cognitive Slowing, Dysfunction in Verbal Working Memory, Divided Attention and Response Inhibition in Post COVID-19 Condition in Young Adults
The present study revealed that in YOUNG adults, university students, without other comorbidities, there can be significant long-lasting cognitive impairments TWO YEARS after COVID-19 infection."
➡️"Specifically, verbal working memory was significantly impaired, and a lower performance was detected in divided attention and response inhibition.”

“Around 30% of those infected with COVID-19 experience lingering symptoms, with young adults showing cognitive impairments even two years after infection. Symptoms include persistent fatigue, trouble concentrating, and memory difficulties.”
