A TREMENDOUS LOT of people got this from Covid-19.
The ACE-2 receptor protein is expressed (i.e., present) in the lung, of course --that is how and why the altered virus was constructed by Chinese and American researchers to make it bind with great avidity to ACE-2 receptors in the lung, thereby making it a much more contagious and potent bioweapon.
Well, it turns out that the ACE-2 receptors are expressed in other tissues in the body, including the brain.

For a better overall source, see this informative, open-access, review of the whole global issue of what COVID-19 virus does to the brain and associated systems. This is in a very well known journal, Annals of Neurology: Koralnik IJ, Tyler KL. COVID-19: A Global Threat to the Nervous System. Ann Neurol. 2020 Jul;88(1):1-11. doi: 10.1002/ana.25807.

Having read many of Ann Coulter's articles in the past (not so much these days) I know she is generally well-enough educated to understand that, indeed, COVID-19 invades the brain and causes myriad symptoms and often permanent disabilities.
She knows better than to say that there is no such thing as Long Covid on a podcast.
The only sensible conclusion is that she is on the take, or a part of the Internationale, i.e., the quasi-organized, massive fraction of the population worldwide who subscribe to communism and Marxism in all of its forms and manifestations: Cloward-Piven, CCP attacks on the US, infiltration of Academe, the Deep State, the Catholic Church, AND of course the disinformation-denial THAT THE COVID-19 virus and vaccine were engineered and deployed bioweapons by the CCP and Chinese Army.
I think the trick going forward is NOT to focus on the motivation of people like Ann Coulter (just as a one-person example) and INSTEAD, just grasp and internalize that it is all a part of the whole communist effort.
The more they chase us normals down blind alleys trying to understand their screwy motivations and schemes, the more we are blinded to the overall collectivist plot.
To remove the hoodwink, or to be 'red-pilled,' then just accept the lie and generalize, and don't get absorbed into their various silly schemes. Lump them all together as communism. It is an important way to neutralize their many psyops.
Good post, thank you for that information
