A new study has added fuel to concerns that America could face a surge in dementias in coming years and decades due to COVID.
The research found that nearly two-thirds of people over 65 who were hospitalized with the virus went on to suffer cognitive decline, which can be a precursor for dementia, weeks and months after the infection cleared.
Independent experts told DailyMail.com this is a trend they're watching closely, since if there is a link, it could affect the millions of older adults who were infected with the virus.
CDC data shows that over-65s accounted for nearly half of hospitalizations in the first two years of the pandemic, or roughly 1.7m people. The new study stops short of concluding that COVID and dementia are definitively linked, but experts described the evidence as 'compelling'.
Roughly 65 percent of over-65s in the study who were hospitalized with the virus had some degree of mild cognitive impairment, a brain-fog like condition which can sometimes be a precursor to dementia.
Researchers aren't sure why COVID could be causing these changes in the brain, but theorize it could have to do with inflammation or changes in blood flow, Dr Vin Gupta, a pulmonologist and public health physician not involved in the research, told DailyMail.com.
'Given the growing evidence from similar studies, the findings are compelling and somewhat expected,' Dr Pennie said.
No prior studies have concluded that COVID-19 causes dementia, but multiple previous studies have shown that there may be a link between the two, Dr Gupta said.

People hospitalized with covid were treated with remdesivir, and also heavily sedated with a very dangerous sedative that I can’t remember. I seriously doubt it was the covid that causes dementia, but the drugs used to wink wink nudge “treat” it.
And of course the hospitalized were prevented from getting Ivermectin which would have cured covid, and there were also many false covid positives, tests were junk.
As far as I know the vax shedding doesn’t last forever, there is a time limit on it. Anyone know? I wasn’t vaxed and I don’t associate closely with anyone who was.

I suspect the cancers may be caused by changes in the production of our alcoholic beverages.
“Cough! Cough! Cough! Cough! Cough! Cough! Cough! Cough!”
Should I get tested for COVID? Should I get tested for syphilis? Is someone going to give me dementia? There is no telling what strange diseases are being brought in by the border jumpers.
The blood brain barrier?
Researchers and ‘doctors’ are sooooooooooo stupid.
That was my first thought.
Course, I didn’t get the experimental clot shot, so won’t be putting myself at that kind of risk.
