“In neurology/psychiatry, we would call this Apathy.

Brain damage to the frontal lobe (dorsal anterior cingulate cortex) causes apathy & reduces empathy.

SARS-CoV-2 damages this region of the brain. Every. Single. Time.

More infections = more damage = more apathy.”

Starting at 4:15: “I’m becoming a bit of a Covid truther. I think we genuinely saw like an IQ drop across the board just of all the people who got hit with Covid. People’s brains I don’t think work as much or as well as they used to.”

SARS-CoV-2 affects Alzheimer’s disease

"Patients suffering from COVID-19 have been found to exhibit dementia-related biomarkers.. The findings of this study suggest a potential link between mild-to-moderate SARS-CoV-2 infection and the initiation or acceleration of brain β-amyloid pathology, and hint at the possibility of an increased future incidence of Alzheimer’s disease subsequent to the COVID-19 pandemic."

Have you developed symptoms of ADHD since 2020? Or has your ADHD deteriorated since 2020?

SARS-CoV-2 infection of the brain: the K18-hACE2 mouse model to illustrate the role and response of the vasculature in neurotropic viral infection

Researchers used mouse model to study how SARS-CoV-2 infects the brain.

The virus targets neurons but spares blood vessels, triggering neuroinflammation and blood-brain barrier dysfunction.

New neuroscience research shows COVID-19 leaves mark on young adult brains
“A new study published in Brain, Behavior, and Immunity has found that young adults who have recovered from COVID-19 show distinct patterns of brain activity during cognitive tasks, even if they perform normally on those tasks. These brain activity changes are similar to those seen in much older adults and are particularly pronounced in individuals reporting ‘brain fog.’”

Prior to my dramatic personality/cognitive changes, I had a highly evolved internal warning system that successfully kept me alive. Now I don’t care. It could be connected to knowing nothing is going to be done since our country was hijacked by the 0.1% & deliberately broken long, long ago, & we all know everyone is going to reflexively blame The Other Side while Both Sides work together to fuck us over brunch. Why worry about things we’re going to pretend away?”

Neurological syndromes associated with COVID-19: a multicenter study in Brazil - BMC Infectious Diseases
“197 patients were included, presenting with vascular syndromes (81), encephalopathy (68), encephalitis (19), Guillain-Barré syndrome (13), other neuropathies (12), and myelitis (4). The incidence curve of neurocovid mirrored that of COVID-19. Neurological syndromes were present regardless of COVID-19 severity. The median time from COVID-19 to onset of neurological symptoms was 14 days, suggesting a post-infectious immune-mediated mechanism.”
