Millions of tweets like this and still so many not grasping the reason why this may be occurring. It’s a global issue.

How many times can I keep shouting the same thing and it not sink in?

COVID CAUSES DAMAGE TO THE FRONTAL AND TEMPORAL LOBES.

THIS CAN CAUSE SOCIOPATHY.
Image
And no it is NOT ableist to state factual information which is relevant to an ongoing and worsening worldwide situation.

The longer this is allowed to continue, the worse it will get, the harder it will become to get a neurocognitive deficient population to notice and/or care!
More details in this thread.

I am NOT saying everyone has Frontotemporal Dementia, or that Covid even causes this type of dementia.

But damage to this region DOES mimic symptoms of FTD.

When will you all take this seriously?

Losing my frigging mind.
Sociopathic behaviour? More aggression and violence? Nah it’s not happening.

Shall we blame lockdowns?

USA ⬇️ UK ⬇️
Image
Image
More dangerous driving? Don’t be silly, it’s not happening.
Image
Image
An increase in anti social behaviour amongst the population, in theatres, at concerts, on planes.

It’s not happening!!!
Image
Image
Worsening racism? Not happening.
Image
Image
Worsening sexism/misogyny? Even in children?

Not happening.
Image
Image
More stealing and shoplifting?

Not happening.

(Some is attributable to rising costs, but 400% is inordinate)

UK⬇️ Australia🤦‍♂️
Image
Image
More indecent exposure? Not happening.

(FTD is associated with new onset sex offenses, including indecent exposure, sexually inappropriate comments, and unwanted sexual advances)


Image
Image
Image
Image
I guess it’s extremely unfair of me to expect anyone to notice, especially if it’s happening to themselves.
Image
Image
If you’re not noticing any of this, you should be worried. It’s obvious now.

Lowered inhibitions:

“In psychology, disinhibition is defined as a lack of restraint manifested in disregard of social conventions, impulsivity, and poor risk assessment.”

POOR RISK ASSESSMENT. Image
What would poor risk assessment look like?


Image
Image
Image
Image
The reason I’m shouting this as loud as I can now is because I see the impacts that these kinds of neurological maladies have on people every day of my life.

And it’s heartbreaking.

It’s traumatising.

It’s terrifying.

And if this happens to nearly all of us? Well, f*@k.

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…

I’m afraid this isn’t cut and dry at all 🧵.

First of all, damage/trauma to the brain can actually cause people to be more prone to sociopathic behaviour & even criminality.

The frontal lobe (FL) is responsible for the execution of empathy, hence diminishing empathy if damaged. Image
Image
The FL is responsible for emotional regulation, incl anxiety/fear & hostility.

The ventromedial prefrontal cortex (vmPFC) is involved in decision making, moral competency/behaviour & evaluating risk.

Damage affects such functions & can make people more vulnerable to gullibility
In layman’s terms this means such damage can remap your moral compass. Things that once crossed a line for you no longer will.

Combined with a tendency to be more gullible, you’d be more likely to believe lies, even without evidence.

i.e. more likely to succumb to scamming.

Covid damages the frontal lobe of the brain.

Many areas of the frontal lobe are essential to the execution of empathy.

Most people are on their 3rd/4th+ infection/s already.

But it’s “empathy burnout”.

At least they’re recognising the loss of function I suppose. Many can’t.
It’s also quite terrifying the masses of people attempting to justify the lack of empathy and actually double down on this.

People are convincing themselves that not only is this normal, but that they should be increasingly selfish & think less of the needs of those around them.
By the way, this is how we enter a downward spiral towards fascism.

And it will happen.

Can I reassert that with SARS-CoV-2 induced brain damage, it won’t be a lessening of intellect that you’ll be seeing first, but behavioural changes such as disinhibition, emotional lability, risk taking & impulsivity.

Frontal lobe damage impairs behavioural regulation.
Whilst I’ve got your attention…

This thread goes into more detail regarding the damage inflicted upon the brain by SARS-CoV-2 (Covid), along with its most likely manifestations.
This is not to say a lessening of intellect isn’t happening. It is. But it will be secondary to the above.

Also note that damage to the frontal lobe causes people to have difficulty with reasoning, planning and organising.

A short attention span is particularly common.

Studies re Long Covid insist on stating the % of people who succumb to this sequelae. I’ve seen incident rates from 3.5% up to 38% (after 3rd infection).

But what every single one of these studies fail to mention is that the reduction in grey matter occurs in 100% of individuals
Would you not class brain damage (which looks permanent on the face of it) as Long Covid?

Permanent damage to any organ is LONG term. Hence ‘Long’ Covid.

So why is this always omitted from such reports into this condition?

What does the 3.5% etc include?
I’ve already stated that covid damages the frontal and temporal lobes, which can cause Anosognosia ⬇️.

So there will even be those with “typical” Long Covid symptoms who have no clue that anything is wrong with them.

The 3.5% etc appears to be in relation to “typical” symptoms

Why are so many w/Long Covid unaware?

Covid damages the frontal/temporal lobes within the cerebral cortex of the brain.

Damage to fronto-temporal parietal area causes Anosognosia.

Anosognosia means you simply cannot recognise your own health conditions & disease.

Facts ⬇️✅

Oh, did I not mention that every single covid infection causes damage to this area of the brain, regardless of severity of symptoms (including asymptomatic)?

Those of you on multiple infections? Perhaps try to keep that number as low as possible.

More infections = more damage.
Anyone reading this thinking “well I definitely don’t have Long Covid or any residual damage from previous infections” should probably reread my initial tweet.

Then read it again.

But, no matter how many times you read it, your brain still won’t recognise your health conditions
