Hello? P. Yoelli is a murine parasite (affects mice, typically tree rats, not humans). It does not cause vivax malaria in humans, P. vivax does. It’s falciparum, not vivax, that goes cerebral.

Ivermectin is not used to treat malaria.* You must be confusing it with hydroxychloroquine, which is.

I have seen cerebral malaria up close and personal (horrible seizures, arched back, etc). Brain fog it ain’t.

A myriad of diseases and medical conditions can cause brain fog (like low oxygen levels from COPD or Covid, or dehydration, or stress, vitamin deficiencies, lack of sleep, any number of things).

And what on earth has a malaria parasite got to do with HIV (retrovirus). It’s not even apples and oranges. It’s onions and elephants.

Also please see my #46 on this thread:

Finally, ivermectinis (A) not used to treat malaria and (B), even if it was (as hydroxychloroquine is) it could easily be both antimalarial and antiviral (again, see my #46).

*Ivermectin is an insecticide and it has been proposed it might be used to reduce the incidence of malaria, as mosquitoes feeding on humans and animals being treated with ivermectin have a shorter lifespan. That is far from being used to treat the disease itself.

P. Yoelli is the bridge for malaria between mice and humans.

While P. vivax is identified as a major cause of severe and cerebral malaria in South east Asia, the Pacific and South America, most of the severe and cerebral cases in Africa were attributed to P. falciparum

"we noted that the basal ganglia were the most common area of involvement in the ret group (with children affected by Cerebral Malaria)" The report also says there is abnormalities with grey matter.

True though not with covid.
basal ganglia (core part of the brain) in both malaria and covid seem to have similar effects. This report shows the effects of covid on the brain. Note around the basal ganglia they name the areas it effects.
