Students should not be suffering cognitive impairment, I can’t quite believe I’m having to say this. What are you going to do about this because we must start preventing #COVID infections?

37% of students showed objective evidence of cognitive impairment after infection.

In addition to increased mental health needs.

Yet we have zero plans to support those who are struggling. In fact, we’ve stripped away vital supports.

As a scientist, one needs to look at the data, even though the papers and arguments seemed the usual, it is good to check the details.

The thesis of "Mr B." is that SARS-CoV-2 causes widespread immunodeficiency or immune damage. Is there data to substantiate this claim?
