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
This is a failure from the scientific community to address the most pressing concern regarding covid and its long term sequelae.

We are slowly destroying the cognitive health of the global population and yet this is one of the lesser mentioned issues regarding the disease.
But the implications of frontotemporal degeneration are far reaching. Addressing this should be the priority going forward.

It will have dire consequences on the geopolitical picture across the globe, and will slowly destroy every industry/society that relies on human cognition.
I could write a lengthy thread on the consequences we would begin to see/may already be seeing.

Simply put, more things will go wrong more often.

Increase in sociopathic behaviour/tendencies.

Poor risk assessment/judgement/increased impulsiveness.

Increasingly error-prone.
Translated, this is death by a thousand cuts.

A slow decline into collapse/disarray if we fail to act.

Every reinfection is inflicting further damage upon your frontal/temporal lobes.

We can’t solve this if the cognition of our scientists/medics progressively worsens‼️
Question I’m asking myself this morning is why am I seemingly the only neurologist/pathologist on the entire planet who’s openly discussing this?!

I’d question my own sanity if I hadn’t seen irrefutable evidence.

Surreal.

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

If you don’t know Covid is a serious threat to your health/life, despite the obvious signs everywhere, then it is a choice.

A choice to have no curiosity about why or how things are happening to you/others.

A choice to not have to face facts and instead cling to comforting lies Image
Please for the love of god stop making excuses for those not listening, not enquiring & refusing to learn.

Nobody came to those who are in the know with a magic wand causing them to be privy to classified information. We saw things weren’t right, and curiously searched as to why
We live in the age of 24/7 access to the internet. Ignorance is NOT an excuse. We have an always up to date encyclopaedia in our pockets.

The first thing many people do when they have a new health condition is google how/why this has happened. They’ll see Covid could be a factor

# of COVID infections:

It never ceases to amaze me how many people make the assumption that the human race can withstand, let’s say, 20 infections of covid per person. That will be the case by 2032-2035, considering how often most seem to be getting it (2x per year ish).
And how some think there are those genetically gifted enough to withstand a seemingly infinite amount of infections.

Really? So a 10 year old now, when they get to the age of 50, could have had to endure up to, and perhaps over, 80 (EIGHTY) covid infections.
Those that keep chugging down infection after infection, have you taken time to understand the ramifications of 1-2 covid infections every year for the rest of your life? And how much shorter that life may be as a result?

Please, get some perspective and a harsh dose of reality.

If your house starts to malfunction, say a few things start falling off, or going wrong, maybe mold appearing in places, bricks crumbling, electrical issues.

Do you wait for someone else to tell you something is wrong, or do you act promptly, look what to do and fix it?
The evidence is there for you to know things are malfunctioning. But you don’t ignore it. Ignoring it won’t make the problems go away.

So next time you make excuses for people being “genuinely unaware” of the ongoing harms of covid, ask yourself if they’re really that stupid.
Media doesn’t need to explicitly state that covid is doing X, Y and Z for people to understand.

We see increasing illness.

We do hear about Measles, Pertussis and Strep A etc.

We do hear about record numbers out of work due to long term sickness.

Ignorance is a choice.

It’s worth reminding folks:

The brain damage caused by Covid that causes sociopathic behaviour (and induces the slow and insidious loss of the capacity for moral rationality) extends to politicians, police and military personnel.

Each infection does damage.

Every. Single. One.
For anyone stumbling upon my tweets regarding covid and brain damage for the first time ⬇️
You might start to see more of an inclination from those in power to abuse said power.

You might start to see increasing force and violence amongst police officers.

Remember, we are already seeing a marked increase in violence in schools. Children are infected most frequently.

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.

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.
