“Covid damages the part of your brain (frontal lobe) which is responsible for empathy, emotional regulation & overcoming self-centeredness.
This will facilitate immorality.
Each & every infection you have causes damage.
Many are on infection 4 (or more).
Signed, a neurologist.”
How does a transient viral infection like COVID lead to long lasting neurologic symptoms?
In humans and in animal models, SARS-CoV-2 can damage peripheral sensory nerves in the nose, leaving behind debris that can then trigger inflammation in brain microglia for weeks to months after infection, which can then lead to post-viral neurological symptoms like cognitive dysfunction (brain fog).
The peripheral neuron-to-microglia axis offers a potential explanation for persistent inflammation seen in conditions like Long COVID and ME/CFS.
New Nature study shows SARS2 significantly elevates the risk of neuropsychiatric conditions including anxiety, mood disorders, cognitive impairment and psychotic disorders for up to 6 months.
“Alarmingly, even individuals with mild or asymptomatic infections face elevated risk.”
“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.”
“Long COVID can injure the brain - and persistent autoimmunity could be a major driver. A study links persistent AT1 receptor autoantibodies (AT1-AA) with neuroaxonal injury and cognitive symptoms. Here’s what it means🧵”
“COVID-19 survivors were at higher adjusted risk of mortality, major adverse cardiovascular events, fatigue, sleep disturbance, and dyspnea. • COVID-19 may be a risk factor for onset of symptoms and adverse events in patients with neurological conditions”

“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.
“New brain MRI study (2025): Post-COVID patients show measurable structural changes - even without hospitalization. Participants were not selected for having Long COVID! What was found, why it matters, and how this fits into what we know about hypothalamus-related circuits.”
“Dad, 41, Diagnosed with Alzheimer's: 'You Feel Guilty That You're Doing That to the Kids' Fraser is sharing his symptoms — and what he’s learned about the disease — on his YouTube channel”
He’s had COVID six times. He jokes it destroyed his memory. @JennaBushHager laughs. They’re normalizing brain damage on national TV
