    I heard the brain damage thing mightve been because a lot of people were walking around with some pretty serious stuff but never could afford a doctor - until they got covid and had to see one. I dont know how epidemiologists deal with stuff like that wrt comorbidities and social determinants of health, seems like a widespread pandemic would have to also include a suprising uptick in dementia, cancer, diabetes, etc just because of the level of poverty in the US and the complete lack of healthcare for the poor.

      I've strongly suspected that this is the cause of a lot of the "extreme, unexpected Covid side effects" for a while now, but obviously it's unlikely that we'll see a study on it.

        America's fucked healthcare system is impairing our ability to study the virus. Jesus. That anyone can look at this abomination of treatment and say we are 'subsidizing global medicine' is depressing.
