New Covid study from UK shows brain damage - what do you make of this?

A recent study from the UK reviewed brain scans of 785 people from before and after the pandemic began (a strength of the study is they compared scans of the *same* people, and included a control group) to measure changes to the brain across time. It study found that the people who had tested positive for COVID had significant brain damage, including loss of gray matter among other damages to brain tissue. The pathological changes to the brain were matched by evidence of cognitive decline in tests that assessed the cognitive function of the cohort. The findings held firm even with those who had mild cases of COVID.

Note that this is pre-print paper that is undergoing peer review.

I’m trying to decide whether to send my unvaxxed kid to school Monday and am so demoralized.

Do you have a child 51 or older?

"We studied the possible brain changes associated with the coronavirus infection using multimodal MRI data from 785 adult participants (aged 51–81)."

+1. More fear porn.

Even if true. What can we possibly do about it at this point. You get vaccinated that’s it. You still may get it and maybe there are some long term effects but not the type that will prevent you from living a normal life

Scientist Andrew Ewing is good to follow on this, and has some of the most extensive collections on Covid 19 brain research:

I agree it is reason to try to protect my kids, but I don’t think most people are swayed by such a distant threat.
We all are tired of Covid and the idea that it’s just a cold is being Bourne out by anecdotal evidence. We don’t have it in us as a society to do much more.

I’m still trying though, for my own family.

We are all wearing n95s and avoiding people indoors. Not socializing until the omicron wave passes over us.

I think you're grasping at straws trying to stoke more anxiety. Not that DCUM needs any help in that area.

You want me to get my medical news from some guy that says he’s a “science teacher?” So, at best, he’s a high school football coach?

You think that coincidentally they picked a lower boundary for age that's where this side effect cuts off? That because they didn't look for this in 50 year olds, then 50 year old must not exhibit this symptom?

You are free to look directly at the source data.

So, OP, you think tens of millions of people in the US are walking around with “significant brain damage” but, we’ve all failed to notice our friends and neighbors turning into vegetables?

Maybe use your brain.
