[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My boss is one of these people still hung up on covid.  He's very educated, very intelligent and accomplished.  But he spends too much time on Twitter, and the echo chamber of covid nonsense in his ultraliberal feed has done him in.  I met with him today, and I was struggling not to laugh during our meeting because he looks like a duck when he's talking with his N95 on.  I had to look down for much of the meeting so I'd stop picturing a duck.  [/quote]

Those duck masks are hilarious. I can't take anyone seriously who is wearing one of those. Not that I really take anyone seriously who is still wearing a mask, but at this point, it's a great way to let me know who to avoid![/quote]

Cool for you. I like my brain more.

Which study in the linked thread are you referring to? The first one is probably the most relevant (Severe COVID-19 is associated with molecular signatures of aging in the human brain https://www.nature.com/articles/s43587-022-00321-w), but it studied autopsied brains from hospitalized people who died of covid from Sept 2020 to Dec 2021 and matched them with brain tissue in deep freeze from before 2019. I'm not sure how relevant the findings are to vaccinated people getting covid now. Also, it doesn't tell us anything about brain function because, well, all the subjects were already dead. [/quote]

They never have a response when you point out that, yes, if you were sick enough to be hospitalized with Covid, or any virus for that matter, that you’ll unfortunately probably have some lasting damage. Hell there was a public FB post that made the rounds a few years back about a woman who was hospitalized with a severe case of influenza and suffered lasting heart and lung damage that would likely shorten her lifespan (she was about mid-late 40s at the time). But most people, the vast majority of people, aren’t sick enough to be hospitalized. So why would those findings apply to the majority of people who clear Covid from their body just fine? [/quote]

I'm in Europe, so didn't respond because I went to bed.  Power went out, so now I'm up.  Le sigh

That thread was posted by a Pulitzer prize winning science writer.

The thing is, we don't know that people are actually clearing Covid.  Covid seems to persist in the organs even among those who feel fine.  [/quote]

This is why it's incredible to me that parents are letting their kids pick it up over and over and over again without doing anything at all to try and prevent it. They have their whole lives ahead of them and will be dealing with the aftermath. Really sad[/quote]

It does seem like the evidence is growing that kids have been harmed.
