So lately I have noticed people are suffering from higher than normal brain fog.

A question nobody has answered for me: if the vax causes peculiar symptoms due to the invasion of spike proteins, can the covid virus do the same thing?

I would say that the answer is yes.
I have the brain fog.
I am not vaccinated.
I have had COVID.
If you're struggling to focus lately (who isn't?), try one of these tips to improve your stress and sharpen your mind.
Feeling loopy? The coronavirus pandemic has continued to disrupt our lives and it has taken a toll on us — emotionally, mentally and physically. A year of being isolated at home has made people more stressed, anxious and fearful of what the future may look like. Due to the social distancing measures in place, we haven’t been able to resume the activities we’re used to doing, so we’re not actively engaging our brains.
Instead, our brains feel fuzzy and it’s slowing us down. We may be taking longer to do tasks or forgetting them altogether.
“Brain fog is used to describe feelings of exhaustion, confusion and lack of concentration,” said Jessica Gold, an assistant professor in the department of psychiatry at the Washington University School of Medicine in St. Louis.
Brain fog, also described as quarantine brain, is actually how your brain is responding to all the chaos that’s going on right now, Gold said. “There’s only so much our brains and bodies can handle living in a state of uncertainty for the past year,” she said. Understand that you’re not alone and that it’s completely normal to be feeling this way..........

The blood clots and heart issues also, I suspect. I dont really understand how people can fear the vax but deny the existance of the virus. What am I missing?

I can attest to this.

The only ones I have heard complain about it are those that had Covid. They state that they get brain fog and takes a minute to find the word or are forgetful. Haven't yet heard it from a vaccinated person but I'll keep my ears open.
The worst part (provided you’re not hospitalized and die), is that the virus makes you somehow not yourself.
Short-term memory? Shot.
Use of critical and logical thinking. Not great at all.
Ability to form speech as one normally does. Affected.
Ability to string thoughts or your “thought-process”. Definitely affected.
Cognizant abilities overall are definitely negatively impacted.
Mental health and onset of precarious neurological functioning for sure. In other words, I feel pretty “down”. Drained almost. Tired a lot.
As I’m out of the quarantine timeline in CA, I can still feel my body and mind trying to heal. It ain’t fun.

So lately I have noticed people are suffering from higher than normal brain fog, just as the second round of vax is happening to most people.
I didn't notice anything on the first round, but now people are forgetting simple things, sending incorrect emails, getting mixed up on the phone.
It's small stuff but noticeable.
Thoughts and observations ?
