A person I know's husband just died. He was in his 40s, caught some illness (not sure if COVID - didn't ask), went to the hospital, and within a day, he was dead. I just can't recall ever hearing any stories like this before the last few years
I am not stating that every single person is exhibiting all of the above. Some may exhibit one or two points from that list, others many more.
The degree to which people are affected isn’t uniform either. In some it’s v subtle. But on a population level, it’s anything but subtle
What am I seeing?
- Reduced empathy
- Increased aggression
- Rising support for authoritarianism
- Declining critical thinking
- Less moral inhibition
- Rising disinhibition & antisocial behavior
- Lack of focus/commitment
- Frequent memory lapses
- Increased impulsivity
As a neurologist, it is now patently clear to me that the vast majority of people on the planet are suffering from neuroinflammation or brain damage (likely both)
The way people speak & behave has changed. Markedly so.
Whether irl, or via messaging/social media. It’s noticeable
Of course, all of this neurological damage is a result of social media, screen time, lockdowns 6 years ago, and the shots.
It’s definitely not the neuroinvasive, brain damaging SARS-CoV-2, proven to disrupt white matter, cause neuroinflammation, and destroy/shrink grey matter.
If normalcy is so important for you and you got exactly what you want, for years on end, like we’ve been “back to normal” since 2022, then why are you still so angry all the time? Shouldn’t you be the calm one?
If one person think SARS-CoV-2 means "common cold", and another person knows COVID-19 is a life-span altering vascular disease, we are living in two very different realities my friend
Regular physical activity & athletic conditioning naturally increase density of ACE2 receptors across skeletal muscles, heart tissue, and blood vessels. Covid uses ACE2 receptors as its literal entryway. Athletes also push through fatigue, the worst thing you can do after Covid.
We’re really just gonna keep watching celebrities and regular people become seriously ill, disabled and die at young ages and say nothing to be done, can’t be all those covid infections, huh? That living with covid plan is going fucking great.
An elite athlete like Simone Biles stuck in bed with a resting heart rate of 126 is now normal since Covid joined the chat. But sure, let's keep pathologizing the use of respirators and pretending this isn't happening.
Covid infections harm your body's defences, making you more vulnerable to secondary infections.
To pneumonia.
Or sepsis.
Or meningitis.
Or Lyme.
Or norovirus.
Or flu.
Or E Coli.
Or kleb.
Or Mycoplasma pneumoniae.
Or whooping cough.
Or TB.
Or Legionella.
Or <a huge long list that you can see in the news headlines every day>
Covid infection doesn't make everyone super vulnerable every time, but it does make some super vulnerable.
And covid infection also harms your body so that the effects of other infections are worse.
@singingsox This study haunts me but also reminds me that it can happen to anyone. The German Olympic Center followed their Covid+ athletes and 2 months after infection, 64% were still struggling. The study was only 2 months so who knows how many went on to have LC... https://t.co/o98jy7Xp8w
I don't like speculating on celebrity athletes' health, but you'd think all these reports of tachycardia/POTS symptoms would be enough to break the myth that it's psychosomatic or "deconditioning". World class athletes don't stop for anything, unless their bodies force them to.
People Magazine used to run non-stop celebrity coverage, but since 2020, it’s been nothing but a blur of medical horrors.
Each article details shockingly WEIRD medical mysteries & unexpected premature deaths in young people.
They never, ever say the C-word though.
Simone Biles is cooked. 126bpm ‘resting’ heart rate doing absolutely fuckall laying down in bed. same exact heart condition proven to be caused by covid, want the receipts?
@nypost@waltz_tales COVID can damage lungs long-term as well as weaken immune systems. (a ton of established research) Anyone who has had COVID (the more often, presumably the more damage) is more susceptible now to infections that they can’t fight off.
