Covid: A Brain Damaging Story

I believe that in the absence of large scale studies and conducting brain imaging on a mass scale, we have to rely upon ourselves to turn to real world examples we may already be witnessing.

Some questions about what you may be seeing…

Anecdotally, I’m seeing significant numbers complaining about health issues after SARS-CoV-2 infections, w/the majority NOT presenting with what people believe are traditional LC symptoms (fatigue, breathlessness, joint pain etc).

What % of LC cases are actually “traditional”?🧵
The majority assume LC only comes in the form of fatigue etc, which is demonstrably untrue. This is just one way in which the disease can present itself.

This causes many to believe the number of LC cases to be far lower than reality & even believe they don’t have it themselves.
We’ve got people proudly stating “I definitely don’t have long covid” all the while complaining about the new ringing in their ears that developed recently, or the panic attacks that started out of nowhere, or the memory lapses that keep occurring.

Since Covid arrived:

“Why are so many children having developmental problems?

Why are there more car accidents & plane crashes?

Why are people more aggressive & less empathetic?

Why is everyone sick all the time?

Why is there more violence in schools?”

Gee, I dunno… Image

“There isn’t more violence in schools and kids are fine”

Oh, ok 👍🏻. Image

“People aren’t more aggressive and less empathetic”

Oh, ok 👍🏻. Image

MUST WATCH:

This is what healthcare professionals really think about those of you suffering w/new health issues since SARS-CoV-2 arrived. It’s truly shocking.

I’m ashamed of my own profession.

This is intolerable.

Today, an NHS doctor on Sky News ⬇️

Guys, it’s just anxiety🧵
It gets worse.

This emergency consultant has the audacity to cite young people’s anxiety causing them to think that any form of chest pain/breathing problem is them having a heart attack.

Let’s not forget the fact that covid has been found to increase the risk of cardiac events
Image
This is a well orchestrated attempt by the medical community to pass off each & every increase in disease/health conditions we are now seeing since SARS-CoV-2 arrived as anxiety, rather than the ACTUAL cause.

This is medical malpractice, plain & simple.

Gaslighting 101 ⬇️ Image

Neurologist here.

Brain damage/injury can, and does, cause problems w/emotional regulation & lability.

It can diminish empathy, remove inhibitions, and cause significant alterations in personality.

It can make people say/do inappropriate things they otherwise wouldn’t have.
This is nothing new, and it certainly isn’t ableist to discuss certain consequences of damage to the brain.

I’ve seen patients become drastically different people due to brain trauma/damage. Some can become aggressive, with some even committing crimes as a result.
Could brain damage cause personality changes that increase the tendency to become a fascist? Yes, absolutely.

Does brain damage always cause a person to be more likely seduced by fascism? No.

The 1st statement isn’t ableist.

The 2nd statement is ableist, only if answered “yes”

If you’re not noticing the (obvious) cognitive impairment in practically everyone around you, it may be due to your own cognitive decline.

Or denial is rearing its ugly head once again.

Perhaps it’s easier for me considering my background, but honestly, it’s so bloody palpable.
How SARS-CoV-2 brain damage may present itself amongst your peers (& yourself)… ⬇️
The decline is real…
