Covid-19 damages the orbitofrontal cortex, the brain region that calculates risk and the consequences of our actions. OFC damage also lowers anxiety about making risky decisions. That's adaptive for a virus. Study: getting Covid increases your chance of crashing your car by 25%.

Everything about SARS-CoV-2 weakens us as a species. Population-level immune dysregulation leading to both reactivation of latent pathogens and creating niches for new ones; the politicisation of our response regressing public health and massively amplifying anti-vax ideology.

People would go wild if MS or lupus were airborne, but Covid is airborne, and it can reactivate EBV, which is linked to both. Itās biologically plausible that weāre seeing more MS- and lupus-related illness after widespread airborne viruses. So mask up š·

The problem is the way institutional medicine interprets science. If you took a bunch of management-class MDs, with no science training beyond undergrad, and let them design a system that entitled them to be In Charge Of Science and launder their opinions into guidance, you'd get what we have.
