Regardless of how severe their other symptoms were, people who still have smell loss more than three months after covid-19 infection are more likely to have cognitive problems than those who regained or never lost their sense of smell

To see if loss of smell due to covid-19 is associated with persistent cognitive symptoms,at the Pontifical Catholic University of Argentina in Buenos Aires and her colleagues analysed data from 766 adults aged 60 years or older who had no history of cognitive impairment. Each had taken a PCR test at a covid-19 testing clinic in Argentina, and nearly 90 per cent tested positive.

They found that two-thirds of the people who tested positive for covid-19 had some form of memory impairment, and for half of this group, it was severe enough to interfere with their daily lives. What’s more, the people who still had complete loss of smell three months post-infection were roughly 1.5 times more likely to have lasting cognitive impairments compared with those who never lost or had already regained their sense of smell. This was the case regardless of the severity of their infection or whether they had required hospitalisation, says Gonzalez-Alemán.Frederic Meunier

And no one will ever be accountable for restarting gain-of-function research that led to SARS-CoV-2.

Well, fuck.

That would be a huge step in the right direction. The Lord works in mysterious ways.

Biologically engineered virus that produces memory loss 🤔🤔🤔

Why isn't anyone investigating and prosecuting those responsible for the release of Covid-19? Because the perpetrators are at the top of the food chain.

So having repeated boosters, which, data shows, make it more likely for someone to become repeatedly sick with (milder version of) COVID-19, make it also more probable that people will have more chances of ending up suffering those neuro degenerative problems afterwards?

I'm sure we'll have this worked out in 20 years.

WHY ARE KABS THAT CREATE WEAPONIZED VIRUSES LIKE COVID-19, STILL OPEN FOR BUSINESS?!!!
