I'm immunocompromised and still have to mask up everywhere. Now that scientists know covid causes PERMANENT brain damage, some things going on in the USA make a lot more sense

I read somewhere that getting a covid booster helps with long covid recovery. I also have family members who won't get the vaccine and still complain about their endurance being low after getting covid in 2020. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Thank you for the info! I've had the max number of vaccines, which I think is like 6. I actually feel significantly better than my friends and family who got long covid... Tachycardia is a bitch to live with

Honestly I think the American right wing is counting on it. The generation of easily manipulated, brain-damaged dipshits who grew up in the leaded gasoline days have been instrumental in the GOP'a ability to gain and hold power. Anything that dumbs down the masses is good in their eyes. That's why they attack our education system so hard.

Don't be so quick to blame COVID, I mean we also had leaded gasoline for a long time...

im trying to find the link between covid and IIH. all of a sudden i have been dealing with IIH symptoms and had a month long hospital visit getting multiple MRIs to find increased CSF pressure in my head.

Because the USA is the only country that got covid. 🙄

Governments slipping into fascism is a global issue at the moment.
