Mounting research shows that COVID-19 leaves its mark on the brain, including with significant drops in IQ scores

So that’s what happened to me.

What about people with young children who can't mask properly but are at a critical stage in their social development? What about people who are hard of hearing and rely on seeing people's faces to understand what they say?

They've now found that using a CPAP device with degraded foam can cause cancer. Can you imagine what they'll find twenty years from now in people who wore synthetic and treated masks all day for several years?

In your view, do masks explain the findings of covid in the brain in autopsies of recovered people?

I'm going to say this as gently as I possibly can. NOBODY CARES unless you are a scientist who is interested in this. People do not care about things that don't affect them and these studies don't show an impact that is clinically significant.

Well, this study shows what I have personally experienced, as has my brother, my SIL, my mother, my MIL. I'm glad that you and your family have not. Regardless of your views of masking, etc.

Sounds about right, as people age. You're all getting older too, coincidence?

Right. Losing 3-7 years of cognitive age in a week is totes normal. Thanks for your wisdom, friend.

Why hasn't anyone answered this?!

Why do you think anyone owes you an answer to this?

Why?

Why don't we start with being frank about things that do pose problems, even if we don't have answers yet? You can't address negatives if you don't acknowledge them as negatives.

You are deluded if you think that COVID hasn't been acknowleged as a problem. Wow.

If you are referring to long COVID, then I absolutely support tax dollars for research on therapies for post viral conditions.

You might try rereading the title of the thread, and perhaps the thread itself. Context.
