where’s the convincing, extensive evidence for WaPo’s horror story? oh, CNN is running it too! wait. could it be Fake News?
Medically its just an observation. If its WaPo or CNN of course its propaganda. Its what they do. But medically its interesting. What I would expect their study to conclude if I am correct about the pathophysiology is that they will discover on MRIs of people who had mild cases there will be numerous, small, bright spots that enhance with Gadolinium (if thats still what they use, its toxic) indicating small spherical lesions of a few millimeters with surrounding edema due to Blood Brain Barrier Breakdown.
Exactly what one would expect from a shower of micro emboli. They will probably be able to correlate it with a threshold of accumulation of these lesions with a testable and demonstrable minor loss of IQ and cognitive function just like the Viet Nam study showed in loss of brain tissue after the war.
