“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.
I’m a neurologist, stay with me 🧵”
“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.”
“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.
Even mild Covid changes children’s brains.
“We speculate that viral-triggered neuroinflammation and immune response contribute to neurotoxic damage in brain regions involved in cognitive processing, ultimately resulting in alterations in cortical morphology and glymphatic function.”
"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."
“We are currently watching what I can only describe as the early stages of Frontotemporal Dementia on a mass scale playing out in real time.
The geopolitical ramifications of this are worrisome.
I am in no doubt about what I’m seeing.
The cause?
Ceaseless SARS-CoV-2 infections” A THREAD WITH STUDIES:
“Covid 19 is causing widespread brain damage on a global scale.
SARS-CoV-2 damages the brain. FACT.
Brain fog, memory issues, more mistakes/crashes/accidents, less empathy, worsening mental health/emotional regulation.
The signs are clear.

“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.”
