Can't wait for the antecentennial revolution in that case :mazovian-thought:
Edit: btw this is from Sept 2022 so not really new research although it's new to me
I fucking hate living in the west.
"Live and let live" to school shootings and COVID, but everyone is ready to be a self-appointed cop when we're talking about stopping me from holding hands with a twink or to arbitrarily restrict someone because they're black.

Mad Neoliberal Disease, since other neolib shitholes had similar handling. Also keeps the acronym from being MAD and having Mad as one of the letters.
I'm sure this will be treated with the same seriousness as Havana Syndrome
"it is our opinion that we should anticipate additional unexpected associations of brain and CNS disease-linked mechanisms and pathways between SARS-CoV-2-mediated viral infection and other categories of age-related, immune-evasive pro-inflammatory forms of neurodegeneration. Importantly, the SARS-CoV-2 ‘S1’ spike proteins contain both self-associating “prion-like” regions, amyloid peptide-binding and other domains that appear to play roles in pathological “seeding,” amyloidogenesis and/or spreading that supports the formation of pathogenic lesions in the brain and CNS which contribute to pro-inflammatory neurodegeneration, neural cell atrophy and/or neuronal cell death"
We are fucking around, and soon we will find out.
I want to remember everyone in posterity that if everyone would've acted as China and other states did after the seriousness of Covid became clear (so putting business class travelers in quarantine for example) then none of this would've happened.
We would've likely been able to resume the world after 6 weeks of global quarantine (since some people would've infected their flat mates and so on) with Covid being effectively gone and with it plenty of other diseases and sicknesses.
Instead we got on off quasi quarantines with new diseases and effects that were a known risk from the very start. Hundreds of thousands and millions were sacrificed on the altar of capital.
I feel like we'd be seeing more mass death with prion-like symptoms if this were true, wouldn't we?
If it's the case (and it should be noted the referenced article is a pitch for studying this to see if it's the case, not an actual study), then prion disorders can take years to develop and we might see a wave of neurodegenerative disorders in a decade or so.
Cool, cool. :this-is-fine: Honestly impressed COVID has so many ways of killing people. Like even now we know it boosts stroke/heart attack risk and various other organ failure for years after.
There's not actually been any research into the link between Prion disease and COVID yet and this study is merely a starting point for future research to properly confirm or deny a link.
