Known since 2021:
“Patients with COVID-19 can present with numerous otolaryngologic conditions, such as Bell palsy (BP)”
UK study of 1,252 people finds SARS-CoV-2 may accelerate Alzheimer’s-related brain changes.
Infected individuals showed shifts in key biomarkers, with greater effects in hospitalized patients and those with hypertension.
“Long Covid ‘changes brains of people differently to those who recover from virus’
More than two million people in the UK are thought to be suffering from long Covid”
As many as 10-25% of people who get Covid will get Long Covid.
“When SARS-CoV-2 INFECTION can facilitate an ATTACK on our BRAIN, by PRIONS and AMYLOIDS. (🧵mega-thread 8 studies)”
How COVID Might Sow Chaos in the Brain
SARS-CoV-2 appears to travel widely across the cerebral cortex
Headaches, hallucinations, vivid dreams, smell & taste anomalies, strokes and seizures
80% of COVID patients encountered neurological complications
“The widespread 🧠 neuro issues I’m witnessing can’t be overstated; a tipping point of previously healthy adults into early Parkinson’s/ GBS/ dementia/ ALS/ serious 👁️ issues/ strokes/ tremors/ vertigo / intractable anosmia & tinnitus etc
An unparalleled horror show & crime.”
"Widespread use of metal caused estimated 2- to 3-point drop in IQ for nearly 180 years of Pax Romana"
Meanwhile, #Covid in 5 years: "Participants with persistent symptoms had a 6-point loss in IQ, while those who had been admitted to an ICU experienced a 9-point loss in IQ."
“COVID-19 may Enduringly Impact cognitive performance and brain haemodynamics in undergraduate students”
“37 % of the undergraduates exhibited impaired cognition up to 17 months post-infection.”
SARS-CoV-2 and HSV-1 induce amyloid aggregation, depleting soluble proteins.
Suggests a link between viral infections and neurodegenerative diseases via protein loss.
