We Just Got More Evidence That Long COVID Is a Brain Injury
The exact nature of long COVID is still coming to light, but we just got some of the best evidence yet that this debilitating condition stems from a brain injury.
Using high-resolution scanners, researchers at the Universities of Cambridge and Oxford have shown microscopic, structural abnormalities in the brainstems of those recovering from COVID-19.
Signs of brain inflammation were present up to 18 months after first contracting the SARS-CoV-2 virus.
"We show that the brainstem is a site of vulnerability to long-term effects of COVID-19, with persistent changes evident in the months after hospitalization," the authors of the study conclude.

Look here’s a convention for UFO people! A real world gathering of people in a real life community with a membership organization that all buy into a conspiracy.
You’re wrong and clownishly so.
A forum isn’t a real community.
Oh look. People gathering to discuss a single subject. Not people wanting to discuss flat earth or 9/11.
"Conspiracy theorists" is an invented label used to shut down discussions and feed the anti-Conspiracy theorist's superiority complex.
A wuhan lab leak is a conspiracy theory. Don't discuss it.
