We Just Got More Evidence That Long COVID Is a Brain Injury
The exact nature of long COVID is still coming to light, but we just got some of the best evidence yet that this debilitating condition stems from a brain injury.
Using high-resolution scanners, researchers at the Universities of Cambridge and Oxford have shown microscopic, structural abnormalities in the brainstems of those recovering from COVID-19.
Signs of brain inflammation were present up to 18 months after first contracting the SARS-CoV-2 virus.
“We show that the brainstem is a site of vulnerability to long-term effects of COVID-19, with persistent changes evident in the months after hospitalization,” the authors of the study conclude.

Yep. On reddit there was a organized group called themselves top minds of reddit r/tmor
Only in that people post in the same subreddit.
Agreed. But doing that you aren’t automatically a member of the sasquatch search community nor do you automatically believe that Hitler survived and moved to South America.
Conspiracies are separate (generally).
The people who don’t take official explanations as gospel are the Skeptics. One should not dismiss flat earthers until a ship has been observed disappearing over the horizon.
If you automatically dismiss something because someone calls it a debunked conspiracy then you are not a skeptic.
My unwillingness to believe the tech companies privacy statement doesn’t push me to join a community
Again conspiracy theorists have IRL events and a culture whereas “Best Minds of Reddit” is a subreddit and not a community. They aren’t the same thing. People identify as flat earthers, JFK conspiracists et al whereas no one identifies as an anti-conspiracy theorist
People interested in a common topic may meet IRL, but that’s a specific community. Topics don’t overlap. There is no all encompassing conspiracy theorist community. The closest example I can find is Conspiracy Con which has not run for more than a decade.
Anyone who automatically dismisses a topic because some calls it a conspiracy theory is anti-conspiracy theorist.
My point is that r/tmor is just as equal a community as r/conspiracy
And Im not claiming parts of reddits are communities but ratger IRL comspiracy groups come with a community like any group that organizes around beliefs do. Your claim is that anti-conspiracy people are a community and they aren’t
