“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…
“There isn’t more violence in schools and kids are fine”
Oh, ok 👍🏻.
“People aren’t more aggressive and less empathetic”
Oh, ok 👍🏻.
“Everyone isn’t sick all the time”
Oh, ok 👍🏻.
“There aren’t more plane crashes or incidents in aviation”
Oh, ok 👍🏻.
Yet when the answer to all these questions is obvious, giving the actual answer (covid) is always met with complete bewilderment and you’re looked at as if you’re some kind of intellectually challenged conspiracy theorist.
Let’s keep ignoring the virus that shan’t be named then!

After targeted harassment & defamation, I’ve realised that people want to insist that doctors take all SARS-CoV-2 sequelae seriously, except for neurological sequelae/brain damage.
I’ve been called ableist & bigoted for stating that damage can negatively affect behaviour.
🧵
Suggesting that an increase in violent behaviour, diminishing empathy, increasing apathy & emotional lability, decreasing risk aversion & more disinhibition could be a result of damage to the frontal & temporal lobes in the brain is apparently ableist & bigoted.
Yet it is fact.
Many accusations come from those who have neurological disorders or brain damage themselves, presumably because they see it as an attack on them, that I’m somehow making the insinuation that any/all brain damage makes someone behave in an undesirable manner.
“Erm that my immune system isn’t working properly… [long thoughtful pause]”
Immune system damage sounds like Long Covid to me.
“You could be right”
I am
Here’s the long & short of it. If something has changed regarding your health since Covid arrived on the scene, the overwhelming chances are that it’s Long Covid.
Whether that’s getting sick more often, new fatigue, diabetes, cognitive issues, insomnia, or all of the above.
Does anybody else feel that blaming a few months of lockdown for ill health in 2025, both physical & mental, is not only disingenuous & delusional, but a crusade to spread disinformation?
The public lap it up so they can reassure themselves the threat has vanished into thin air.
