[quote=Anonymous]I did have a bad headache with covid, which made me paranoid, which led me down the rabbit hole, where I found such articles as this one: [url]https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/33053430/[/url]

[i]Evidence provided suggests that the SARS-CoV-2 spike proteins trigger a pro-inflammatory response on brain endothelial cells that may contribute to an altered state of BBB [blood-brain barrier] function. Together, these results are the first to show the direct impact that the SARS-CoV-2 spike protein could have on brain endothelial cells; thereby offering a plausible explanation for the neurological consequences seen in COVID-19 patients.[/i]

Another article: [url]https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2020/12/201217154046.htm[/url]

[i]S1 protein in SARS-CoV2 and the gp 120 protein in HIV-1 function similarly. They are glycoproteins -- proteins that have a lot of sugars on them, hallmarks of proteins that bind to other receptors. Both these proteins function as the arms and hand for their viruses by grabbing onto other receptors. Both cross the blood-brain barrier and S1, like gp120, is likely toxic to brain tissues.[/i]

Unfortunately I could find no research yet on whether vaccination mitigates these effects for those people who do contract breakthrough infections, but the study linked at the beginning of this thread seems to suggest that even mild cases led to brain changes.[/quote]
