“Let’s talk about COVID, brain damage & society.

Specifically, what happens when a neurotropic virus repeatedly infects the population, targeting the frontal lobe & almost nobody talks about the consequences?

This thread is for the skeptics.

Human challenge study reveals lasting cognitive decline after mild COVID-19
Human challenge study reveals lasting cognitive decline after mild COVID-19

“significant memory and executive function decline lasting up to a year, despite no reported subjective symptoms, prompting new questions about the virus’s long-term cognitive effects.”

Unvaccinated volunteers who contracted COVID-19 in a human challenge study showed

Mapping brain changes in post-COVID-19 cognitive decline via FDG PET hypometabolism and EEG slowing
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.

Lacking focus, tired always? Could be brain fog
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.

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.”

Clinic evaluation of cognitive impairment in post-COVID syndrome: Performance on legacy pen-and-paper and new digital cognitive tests
Clinic evaluation of cognitive impairment in post-COVID syndrome: Performance on legacy pen-and-paper and new digital cognitive tests

“Post-Covid cognitive impairment affects daily function and quality of life. • ACE-III fails to detect cognitive impairment in most post-Covid patients. • 89% of patients have impaired attention, executive function, processing speed on novel tests. • New tests are needed for post-Covid cognitive assessment in clinical practice.”
