Persistence of spike protein at the skull-meninges-brain axis may contribute to the neurological sequelae of COVID-19
Persistence of spike protein at the skull-meninges-brain axis may contribute to the neurological sequelae of COVID-19

Evidence that a COVID-19 infection can induce neurological sequelae.

The SARSCoV2 spike protein can persist in the brain—skull bone marrow and meninges—to induce neurologic damage

SARS-CoV-2 spike protein accumulates & persists in the body for years after infection, especially in the skull-meninges-brain axis, potentially driving long COVID. mRNA vaccines help but cannot stop it.

In mice, it caused inflammation, anxiety, and worsened brain injuries. Vaccines reduced but did not fully eliminate it.

SARS-CoV-2 Invasion and Pathological Links to Prion Disease
SARS-CoV-2 Invasion and Pathological Links to Prion Disease

Nearly half of those infected with SARS-CoV-2 experience long-term neurological problems, including brain fog and memory issues.

An infection may accelerate or exacerbate prion diseases like Creutzfeldt–Jakob disease, leading to rapid neurodegeneration.

Cognitive profile following COVID-19 infection: Clinical predictors leading to neuropsychological impairment
Cognitive profile following COVID-19 infection: Clinical predictors leading to neuropsychological impairment

Covid itself causes cognitive impairment. From 2020, prior to Covid vaccination of any kind:

“In our cohort of COVID-19 patients neurologic manifestations were frequent, including cognitive impairment.”

"The study suggests that acute COVID-19, regardless of Long COVID status, is linked to an increased risk of car crashes presumably due to neurologic changes caused by SARS-CoV-2."
