Covid damages the part of your brain (frontal lobe) which is responsible for empathy, emotional regulation & overcoming self-centeredness.

This will facilitate immorality.

Each & every infection you have causes damage.

Many are on infection 4 (or more).

Unless you’re taking measures to prevent infection, you’re catching SARS-CoV-2 frequently. Many infections are asymptomatic.

Each new infection will compound the brain damage, causing new issues that previous infections may not have done.

You are gambling with your cognition.

Due to the nature of the aforementioned brain damage, many who succumb to such damage are completely unaware of the fact.

It is, in fact, quite common to be unaware of your brain damage, even in severe cases.

The medical term for this is anosognosia.

Just a heads up.

If this was really happening I would probably expect the following:

- increasing violence in schools

- increasing violence towards healthcare/shop workers

- increasing antisocial behaviour from passengers on aircraft

- increasing antisocial behaviour in cinemas/theatres

- increasing support for inhumane political policies & an increase in the policies themselves

- increasing dehumanisation of minority groups & immigrants, leading to worsening discrimination (misogyny and racism to name a few)

- decreasing compassion

- rise of the far right

For the intellectually challenged in the comments, let me make one thing abundantly clear, since you’re not quite grasping it.

I said “I would expect to see” certain occurrences due to FL damage.

I did NOT say “Covid caused these occurrences and/or is the only causative factor”

It could well be purely coincidental that the things I would expect to be worsening on a population wide level, if frontal lobe damage was occurring, are actually worsening, and worsening enough to be gaining media attention.

I am simply offering my professional opinion.

@remyplaguerat Or is it that you refuse to believe that reduced empathy would lead to behaviours consistent with reduced empathy?

@rhovanielle @JohnWebbMD Come at me with the “correlation does not imply causation” all you want.

But to anyone paying attention, reading the studies, and especially those in the medical field doing so, it’s quite obvious what is happening, and why.

Or just continue with the wanton ignorance.

@missylyn19 @JohnWebbMD Or were you not even aware vaccines do not prevent infection, nor transmission?

Oh and if you’ve got a SARS-CoV-2 infection at any point, you clearly weren’t immune to infection.

Do you understand how immunity works?

@rhovanielle @JohnWebbMD To be clear l, I didn’t at any point make the claim that “Covid has caused increasing violence in schools” or “Covid has caused more antisocial behaviour”.

I said I’d expect to see this if the frontal lobe was damaged. That was all. I didn’t specify covid was the sole reason.
