COVID-19 infection associated with increased risk of new-onset vascular dementia in older adults
COVID-19 infection associated with increased risk of new-onset vascular dementia in older adults
COVID-19 infection linked to a 41% higher risk of developing new-onset vascular dementia in older adults, with researchers warning that the virus may have lasting effects on brain and vascular health even after recovery.

COVID-19 infection associated with increased risk of new-onset vascular dementia in adults ≥50 years
UK Biobank study of 54,757 adults aged 50+ found that COVID-19 survivors had a 41% higher risk of dementia and a 77% higher risk of vascular dementia after two years, especially in those unvaccinated or with mental illness.

Correct ✅ Covid 19 is causing widespread brain damage on a global scale. SARS-CoV-2 damages the brain. FACT.

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.”

Pioneering discovery and therapeutics at the brain-vascular-immune interface
Pioneering discovery and therapeutics at the brain-vascular-immune interface

A new paper in Cell, “Pioneering discovery and therapeutics at the brain-vascular-immune interface,” describes COVID-19 as a neurological disease alongside multiple sclerosis, Alzheimer’s, stroke and traumatic brain injury.

“COVID-19 can accelerate progression of dementia and induce BBB disruption and inflammatory blood clots causally linked with neuroinflammation and neuronal loss.8 In neurodevelopmental disorders, prematurity and perinatal hypoxia that trigger brain hemorrhage and BBB disruption are risk factors for cerebral palsy, intellectual disability, and autism. Collectively, these risk factors highlight the interconnected vascular and immune triggers of neurological diseases.”
