Claim: "Brain damage? Sneaky, invisible,
nobody can see it, so they blame everything
on COVID,"
Fact: Neurological harm doesn't require
visible physical symptoms. Brain scans, fMRI
studies, and post-mortem analyses confirm
damage in people with mild/no symptoms.

All the "there's no evidence SARS-CoV-2
causes brain damage" takes lve seen are
weak, unscientific, and often just opinion
masquerading as fact.
Let's break this down with actual facts,
rather than mere conjecture. I
Marc Veldhoen @marc-veld.mastodon.onl..
There was no lymphopenia, no superantigen,
immune damage/dysfunction/exhaustion. The
are no large outbreaks of infections.
Furthermore, there are no increases in cancer
due to SARS-CoV-2 infection, no compounde
risk of long Covid, etc.
Now it is brain damage

Prominent neuropathologist explains that there's tons of scientific research that shows that Covid causes brain damage.

A monochrome photo. Three stones forming a ring curve round a sawn-off stump. There is a low hill in the background crowned by young trees.

A monochrome photo. Three stones forming a ring curve round a sawn-off stump. There is a low hill in the background crowned by young trees.

I unearthed this recently. Taken by a talented photographer friend of mine in the 80s, it's of a stone circle near Nannerch in Flintshire. It's an oddity because it's not mentioned by local expert Ellis Davies in a work of 1949 and Aubrey Burl dismisses it as a folly. [Cont:

Should we be worried about the current COVID-19 variants? As we enter autumn, rates of respiratory illnesses start to rise and people ask how the most common current lineages - or groups of genetically similar viruses - compare to previous COVID-19 variants.

Unwell and unsure if we have COVID-19?
Avoid contact with vulnerable people, stay home if possible. 
Wear a well-fitting face covering.
Avoid crowded places + anywhere enclosed or poorly ventilated.
Vaccines remain our best defence.

Cat and dog statues in black with white bones to represent skeletons, and white sugar skulls a la Mexico's Dia de los Muertos celebrations.

It's a shop display in Galveston.  I don't know if it was an artistic creation or mass produced figure because I was too afraid to touch it.  It looked expensive to me.

Hey Musk,

If it's allowed that an American citizen like you can use X to call for the overthrow of the British government, then you won't object if I, a Dutch citizen, use X to call for the overthrow of the Trump administration, because you're a free speech absolutist.

Or did I misunderstand you?
