Crying reading young ppl in TikTok comments discover in real time that they have brain damage from past covid infections. No one’s ever told them that it’s connected and they’re panicking because they’ve had Covid so many times. So heartbroken and angry that we’ve let this happen

Heart is broken

FYI for those saying that this is just TikTok nonsense or that it hasn’t really been studied, here you go

This clearly struck a chord and I really think the public is waking up. If you’re worried about damage from past covid infections please do everything you can to prevent future ones. The damage is cumulative. It’s not too late to start masking again. You’ll be in good company😷❤️

A lot of affirmative comments here still referring to Covid in past tense (“People should have worn masks” etc.) Covid is ONGOING. It never went away. It’ll continue to get worse if we keep ignoring it. If you stopped masking, now is a great time to start again. Even sometimes.
