Thank you for this! I'm pretty sure I somehow managed to contract COVID waaaay back in January 2020, as I had all the symptoms except for loss of taste and smell, the cough lingered for a good 6 or 7 months, and my lung capacity - already pretty crummy from asthma - never has fully recovered. I've also noticed since then that my usual knack for words fails me more and more often, but I hadn't thought to connect the two!
Also, potential brain problems are about the only risk that I think my dad might actually take seriously; especially after losing his mother to dementia last year. I forwarded your email newsletter to him, and described my own mental symptoms. Maybe it'll finally convince him to get vaccinated. *fingers crossed*
Thank you for the information and all you continue to do
I have been fully vaccinated since March and now just tested positive, I am trying to understand more about what side effects I might have compared to non vaccinated and if that even matters ?
this is the wild card. NOBODY knows how deep it goes, but it seems that loss of taste and smell is the virus attacking the ace2 receptors in that part of the brain directly. and loss of gray matter seems to be documented. similar to alzheimer's. but possible now at any age.
THANK YOU! for all that you do. wondering if the loss of gray matter was seen in all 394 of those that survived covid or it was a smaller group? apologies if i missed it in the post
Do we have any information yet about whether the vaccine protects against this kind of organ damage, and if so, how much protection is provided? Thanks.
we are hopeful, but are not sure. if a vaccinated person comes in contact with an infected person, the vaccines reduce the viral load substantially if not 100%. we think that viral load helps with severity of disease. for example, in this case, less nose cells will be infected, then less brain cells will be infected, and less damage done. but we are still learning as we go
JERUSALEM/WELLINGTON (Reuters) - Israel and New Zealand have given interim approval for the sale of biotech firm SaNOtize Research and Development’s Nitric Oxide Nasal Spray (NONS) which could help prevent transmission of the COVID-19 virus, the company said on Monday.
Fabulous.
This just gets worse and worse, doesn't it?
Katelyn, my deepest gratitude to you for your work.
Sending love right back to you.

Thank you - for this and all of the work you do!
I’m not sure where to ask this other than here, but any word on the NO spray out of Israel?
