Long Covid brain study shows cortical thickening & decreased microstructural integrity in white matter
Findings correalate with low performance in working memory, verbal memory, mental processing speed, verbal fluency and executive functions

Very small, but tightly controlled, study found 89% of terminated fetuses →from mothers who had Covid during pregnancy← tested positive for SARS-CoV-2 RNA in various:
heart, brain, lung, ovary, testis, pancreas, thymus, stomach, liver, thyroid, adrenal, spleen, + more tissues.

This so-called economic cost of MECFS? 100% fraud.
More lies from Leonard Jason based on literal fiction by Lucinda Bateman. Zero facts.
MECFS con artists continue to steal crisis off the backs of disabled & dying ppl w/Long Covid. As usual.
Let's break down the scam. ↓

Another unreplicatable Pretorius study w/dubious claims.
Microclots & elevated NETs do not distinguish Long Covid from any other inflammatory condition (cancers, autoimmune diseases, diabetes, *etc, have them).
Pretorius & Co suggesting that these are a Long Covid biomarker/diagnostic is 😒.

Scientists have identified a potential new drug against COVID.
Compound 6 caused SARS-CoV-2 viral proteins to misfold, malfunction, and ultimately, be destroyed and removed by cells, in lab tests.
This work could benefit other viral diseases, too.

Groundbreaking research provides definitive evidence that humans can grow new brain cells up to age 78.
Using advanced single-nucleus RNA sequencing and machine learning algorithms, researchers identified proliferating neural progenitor cells in the hippocampus.
