My neighbor/friend caught Covid, and she now has dementia. 57 yo psyche nurse. I don’t recognize her anymore. It sux watching her decline.
She didn’t get the Covid shot til after infected. She up until she caught Covid had refused to take it.
Seeing her daughter crying some days is heartbreaking as well 🥲.

Dementia from the experimental drug, possibly.

Members will all assume that this is due to the vaccines and say as much with various levels of absurdity.

Between Aug 24, 2021, and Jan 12, 2022, we collected data for 519 (62%) of 836 eligible patients who were at least 90 days post-myocarditis onset: 126 patients via patient survey only, 162 patients via health-care provider survey only, and 231 patients via both surveys.
Median patient age was 17 years (IQR 15–22); 457 (88%) patients were male and 61 (12%) were female. 320 (81%) of 393 patients with a health-care provider assessment were considered recovered from myocarditis by their health-care provider, although at the last health-care provider follow-up, 104 (26%) of 393 patients were prescribed daily medication related to myocarditis.
Of 249 individuals who completed the quality-of-life portion of the patient survey, four (2%) reported problems with self-care, 13 (5%) with mobility, 49 (20%) with performing usual activities, 74 (30%) with pain, and 114 (46%) with depression.
In the subset of patients with abnormal findings at the time of myocarditis diagnosis, abnormal diagnostic markers or abnormal imaging were also observed at follow-up in seven (12%) of 60 with initial abnormal echocardiograms, 19 (5%) of 387 with initial elevated troponin levels, and 47 (32%) of 146 with initial abnormal cardiac MRIs (figure 4).
There was substantial hetero - geneity in cardiac biomarkers, imaging, and patient functional status between patients considered recovered or not recovered from myocarditis (appendix 1 p 16).
All cardiac test results (ie, echocardiogram, electrocardio - gram, cardiac MRI, and troponin) were available for follow-up review in only 199 (62%) of 320 patients considered recovered, 44 (68%) of 65 considered not recovered, and three (38%) of eight with an unknown recovery status
Despite clinical improvements and normalisation of most diagnostic test results, as noted by health-care providers, half of patients (178/357) surveyed continued to report at least one symptom potentially associated with myocarditis after COVID-19 vaccination.
One possible explan ation for the persistence of symptoms is that approxi mately 50% of patients reported depression or anxiety, conditions that can manifest as symptoms associated with myocarditis, such as chest pain or palpitations.
29 The meaning of the cardiac MRI findings among the subset of patients who received cardiac imaging is unclear. Evidence of ongoing myocarditis on follow-up cardiac MRIs based on modified Lake Louise criteria 25 was uncommon.
However, consistent with the few published case series of myocarditis after mRNA COVID-19 vaccin ation, we observed that nearly half of patients (71/151) with follow-up cardiac MRIs had residual late gadolinium enhancement, suggestive of myocardial scarring

Then, why the heck did she get vaccinated, if she was ALREADY infected, and built immunity to COVID?
You'd think a trained nurse would know NOT to take a vaccine for something you're already immune to.
Edit, this is in response to ktempar's post. (ATS is acting up)
