NYC man’s fatal brain disease linked to COVID-19: ‘Highly likely’
NY Post ^ | 09/22/2023 | Andrew Court

While long-term COVID-19 can cause brain fog, erectile dysfunction and hair loss, experts say the coronavirus could also contribute to another health condition: deadly brain disease.

Doctors from Mount Sinai Queens’ said it’s “highly likely” COVID contributed to a New York City man developing fatal prion disease.

Two months before he was admitted to the hospital, the 62-year-old Queens local started to drool and move at a slower pace, the doctors wrote in an article published Thursday by the American Journal of Case Reports.

The unidentified man was only taken to the medical facility after he was found at home after a fall, unable to walk and confabulating, with intermittent, brief rapid involuntary jerks.

“On admission, he was found to be COVID-19 positive, but was . . . asymptomatic aside from the typical COVID respiratory manifestations,” the case study read.

Medics performed a series of tests on the man, including CT and MRI scans of the brain, “both of which were repeated twice and were normal without any diffusion restriction.”

However, the man’s condition continued to deteriorate.

“Approximately 3 weeks into hospitalization, the patient became progressively mute and had difficulty swallowing soft foods, requiring PEG [percutaneous endoscopic gastrostomy] tube placement,” the doctors wrote of the need for the feeding tube. “He subsequently became spastic with severe pain on passive flexion-extension. Six weeks after admission, the patient was declared dead.”

The Vax can cause this prion disease and I would bet he was all vaxxed up.

Long covid is fake vax injury. Long covid is to cover for that fact.

Funny how this man’s vaccine status isn’t mentioned considering said vaccine has been known to cause rapid onset prion disease.

More propaganda to frighten the masses to get the new vaccine they’re pushing.

exactly! These vaxxes were created to cause adverse effects including death.

So now, as that time is expected to ramp up the number of victims, they simply shift the “causes” to new and improved pandemics.

But don’t sweat it America, our fearless leaders are on the heals of these curious pandemics and developing new vaccines to prevent these adverse effects.

In the mean time America, be afraid, be very afraid!

Exactly.

We know several jabbed friends, who’ve had china virus, very recently.

We also know others who are/were jabbed, with rapid progression alzheimers, another who had rapid progression heart and kidney and one with turbo colon cancer.

Just sickening.
