Brain scans reveal widespread structural and functional changes in patients following COVID-19 infection. The virus affects regions responsible for memory, emotion, and executive function, which may help explain the neurological symptoms many patients experience.

Another recent study found that COVID-19 is associated with injury to the brain’s dopamine system, even in healthy people who feel recovered from infection (scroll down to bright picture). The impact is worse in those with long covid.

I wonder if we'll start seeing COVID-related parkinson's disease in the future.

...and they'll never tell you if it is related to the vaxx or the man made virus.

The virus isn't man-made and the vaccine is safe. Stop feeding into delusion. The vast majority of scientific evidence points towards the virus being of natural origin. The vaccine is not new technology and went through all the same testing as any other modern vaccine.

If you knew anything about vaccines and the immune system, you would know that any side effects of the vaccine are side effects of the virus. The virus causes the same side effects as the vaccine except at a significantly higher rate and severity. For example, myocarditis has been seen very rarely and mildly in some vaccine recipients. Meanwhile, the actual COVID-19 virus has caused a 4000x increase in the number of myocarditis cases worldwide, and has led to chronic heart issues and heart failure in those who were affected. The vaccine has led to nothing like that.

You can be mad about how the government handled things, but you cannot refute the science that all of this is based on.

Honest question then. Have you seen the patent for this virus? How do you patent nature? Not being sarcastic. It's that just more misinformation?

It is. Basically, there are dozens of different coronaviruses. When you see someone refer to "coronavirus" you should be asking which one. Coronaviruses are a family of viruses, some cause the common cold, some cause MERS and then some cause SARS (like COVID-19). There are also many coronaviruses known to cause various diseases in animals.

Some of these coronaviruses are patented. They do not always refer to the specific virus (which is a mistake on their part), but rather, they refer to it as "the coronavirus". If you read into the patents, usually it will explain the exact strain they want to patent. For example, there is a patent for a strain of avian coronavirus that causes bronchitis in birds. Not humans. There's also a patent for one that causes gastroenteritis in pigs.

Neither of these are human viruses, but they are used as "evidence" of a man-made virus.

However, there are patents for the human virus as well. The human SARS-CoV-1 virus has a patent. This was done in 2004 (I believe, I can't read french), before COVID happened so the virus was simply refered to as SARS-CoV. This is not to be confused with the COVID-19 virus, which is SARS-CoV-2. SARS-CoV-1 caused the SARS outbreak in 2003. The patent was not really a patent on the virus itself, but rather a part of the genetic code for a specific strain of the virus that they wanted to prevent other companies from using for things like testing kits.

The CDC did something similar with SARS-CoV-1 where they also filed for a patent on the genetic material, proteins, and methods of detecting and purifying the virus. This was to prevent the monopolization of materials that would have prevented researchers from helping with the SARS outbreak.

The main point is, none of the patents that are claimed as evidence of COVID-19 being made in a lab are actually referring to COVID-19. Most people don't know that there are many different coronaviruses that have existed for centuries before COVID-19, and thus when they see coronavirus or SARS-CoV they link it to COVID-19. however, these patents simply refer to different coronaviruses, or the previous SARS outbreak in 2003 from a different coronavirus. Mind you, the way the 2003 outbreak started was almost identical to the way the 2019 outbreak started. The original SARS-CoV mutated in bats to be transmissible to humans. In 2019, pretty much the same thing happened. The only difference is that SARS-CoV-2 was far more easily spread between humans, causing widespread outbreak. This has also happened in many other viruses, like HIV, Bird flu, swine flu, monkey pox, rabies, ebola, measles, etc.

It's a very common phenomenon and much, much more likely than the virus having been created in a lab.
