As part of the ongoing UK Biobank study, participants underwent brain scans before the pandemic. For a before-and-after comparison, researchers invited 394 COVID-19 survivors to come back for follow-up scans as well as 388 healthy volunteers. Most of the COVID-19 survivors had had only mild-to-moderate symptoms, or no symptoms at all, while 15 had been hospitalized. Among the COVID-19 survivors, researchers saw "significant" loss of gray matter in regions of the brain related to smell and taste - the left parahippocampal gyrus, left orbitofrontal cortex and left insula. Some of the affected brain regions are also involved in the memory of experiences that evoke emotional reactions
The researchers found that the virus was able to infect neurons in these organoids and use the neuronal cell machinery to replicate. The virus appears to facilitate its replication by boosting the metabolism of infected cells, while neighbouring, uninfected neurons die as their oxygen supply is reduced.
After sampling the Pfizer-BioNTech vaccine and analyzing its RNA sequences, he identified several sequences that can misfold certain proteins in the body. When misfolded, these proteins can potentially cause Alzheimer’s, amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) and other neurodegenerative disorders, according to Classen.

IIRC it's not only coronaviruses that can cause this kind of damage.
Trying to remember where I saw that, recently.
And then there is this nugget......

This is such hooey, they are losing steam with this so now are throwing out " get vaccinated or get permanent brain damage" This is laughable

Yep, but they would get better traction if they said COVID cause erectile dysfunction and/or male pattern baldness.
Hell there is the next concoction (PARDON THE PUN) that they will try to push COVID vaccines mixed with Viagra/Cialis and Rogaine. They still would be lucky to hit 80%

Great, now we find out a nice "feature" of the covid-19 bioweapon. It appears it kills off selected parts of your brain. I find it curious that it targets parts of the brain involved with memory and emotional responses.

COVID-19 increases the risk of developing erectile dysfunction (ED) by nearly six times, according to data from the first study to investigate the association between ED and COVID-19 in young men in a real-life setting.
The preliminary numbers also indicated that having ED also increased men’s susceptibility to SARS-CoV-2 infection. Men with ED are more than five times more likely to have COVID-19.
