You fixate on coughs/fever/hospitalisation

Meanwhile, billions w/no obvious symptoms are sustaining brain damage

Empathy. Logic. Foresight

Invisible, ignored, unstoppable

You’re all acting like nothing is happening

Covid isn’t just a virus. It’s a quiet collapse of humanity.
While we worry about obvious Covid complications, billions w/out symptoms are suffering hidden brain damage

Impulse control/inhibition/foresight/conscience are quietly eroding

Humanity is losing its mind, one silent infection at a time

Compassion is on the brink of extinction.
Look around. The quiet collapse is happening.

Billions are silently losing the part of their brain that makes them human.

Denial isn’t always due to ignorance.

SARS-CoV-2 can rewire your mind; it robs the brain of the very faculty to perceive the threat you’re facing.

This virus isn’t just a pathogen. It’s an architect of cognitive collapse.

Its target: empathy, conscience, foresight.

Everything else - symptoms, fevers, fatigue… merely collateral evidence the virus survives.

The war is silent, inside our brains, shaping society’s decay.

🧵 Attribution Bias: The Hidden Fuel of COVID Denial

One of the main reasons society refuses to face the ongoing damage of SARS-CoV-2 is attribution bias

It’s not that the harms aren’t there, they’re everywhere

It’s that people are misattributing them to the wrong causes

1/9
Brain fog? Must just be “stress.”

Shortness of breath? Must be “getting older.”

Heart palpitations? Probably “anxiety.”

Cognitive slips? “Too much screen time.”

Anything, literally anything, but admitting that repeat COVID infections are the cause.

2/
Attribution bias makes the invisible visible elsewhere.

Instead of facing the direct, uncomfortable truth (“COVID has injured me”), people redirect it to a more socially acceptable explanation.

This isn’t an accident.

It’s how the human brain protects fragile worldviews.

As a neuropathologist with decades of experience studying dementia, Alzheimer’s & viral brain injury…

I know exactly how brain damage presents itself.

I’m seeing this unfold at a population level each & every day.

SARS-CoV-2 is inflicting neurological harm on a global scale.
For the “Correlation isn’t causation” crowd:

Covid is neurotropic, it directly infects the brain. It causes vascular injury/clotting/neurodegeneration.

We’re not guessing. The mechanism is established. The population-level consequences are what you’re watching unfold right now.
Frontotemporal injury doesn’t stay hidden. It shows as:

- Declining empathy/compassion
- Poor impulse control/reckless behaviour
- Collapsing attention spans & foresight
– Susceptibility to lies, rage & tribalism

Sound familiar?

That’s covid’s neurological footprint at scale.

We don’t live in a free society.

We live in one where obedience is disguised as opportunity.

Where exhaustion is called “hard work.”

Where exploitation is sold as “luck.”

This is modern slavery with a smile.

A thread 🧵
It starts in school. We were told it’s about “education,” but the real lesson is obedience:

- Be on time, every day
- Sit still, don’t question authority
- Complete every assignment, no matter how absurd
- Face punishment if you refuse

i.e. Training for a lifetime of compliance
So when we reach the workplace, we’re already programmed.

We say yes to unpaid overtime.

Yes to being disturbed on holiday.

Yes to covering for colleagues.

We’ve been taught that refusal equals punishment, so our default response is obedience… even to exploitation.

“My baby had Covid and was fine”

Did your baby tell you how their endothelial function, immune system & neurodevelopment are doing compared to baseline?

Did they explain their risk profile for future disease?

Or are you just guessing because they didn’t drop dead on the spot?
SARS-CoV-2 isn’t harmless in babies.

Infections are linked to disrupted brain development, higher risk of neurological disorders (incl. autism spectrum, seizures, developmental delay), immune dysregulation & heart damage.

Babies can’t self report.

Fine today ≠ fine long term.
And guess what?

If you catch COVID while pregnant, the stakes are higher.

Increased risk of preterm birth, low birth weight, stillbirth, NICU stays… and possible long-term neurodevelopmental issues, including autism.

This isn’t speculation by the way, it’s science.

The neurological toll of COVID is vastly underestimated

Brain scans can look “normal” while things too subtle for MRI detection; microvascular damage, neuroinflammation, and synaptic loss… quietly erode cognition, mood & behaviour

We are flying blind on the scale of impairment
MRI is a blunt tool for subtle brain injury.

It can’t resolve microvascular lesions, detect most neuroinflammation, or see lost synaptic connections.

Many COVID-related brain changes are chemical or cellular, leaving scans ‘normal’ while function is impaired.
We are likely undercounting COVID’s neurological impact by orders of magnitude.

If our main detection tools miss most of the injury, we mistake ‘no visible damage’ for ‘no damage at all’.

Hence policy stays blind to the real, long-term toll.

A-level results are out in the UK. Record numbers of students got their first choice university place. Politicians call this a “success story.”

But how is this possible when SARS-CoV-2 has been repeatedly disrupting education and damaging brain health?

🧠🧵 Image
Let’s remember:

- Covid disrupts learning through illness, teacher absences, and long-term symptoms/chronic health.

- Many children have been infected multiple times (5-10 times already).

- Each infection increases the risk of ongoing symptoms and neurological effects. Image
Image
SARS-CoV-2 isn’t “just a cold.” It can:

- Damage blood vessels in the brain
- Trigger inflammation/neuroinflammation
- Shrink grey matter in regions linked to memory, attention, empathy and executive function
- Impair working memory and processing speed Image
