SARS-CoV-2 Leaves a Lasting Mark on the Immune System
A landmark new study shows COVID-19 isn’t ‘just a cold’: One infection left people with long-lasting immune damage, and those with heart disease lost up to 70% of key immune cells. Reinfections may wo...

For anyone wondering, some possible dog names have survived from cuneiform sources. On tiny dog figurines found buried under a palace in Nineveh, Iraq are inscriptions that seem to be names. dan rigiššu “loud is his bark” munaššiku gārîšu “biter of his foe” mušēṣi lemnūti “expeller of evil”

No, Infections Don't Appear Beneficial
Somehow in the argument of whether we should avoid SARS Cov 2 infections, it was proposed that people may be worse off by not gaining immunity via infection to viruses.

Both vaxxed and unvaxxed groups showed impairment in cognitive functions and quality-of-life measures compared to the benchmark. While vaccines reduce the severity of acute Covid, they don't appear to reduce the neurological sequelae of Long Covid. academic.oup.com/braincomms/a...
Here are the main points from the research article titled "Vaccination prior to SARS-CoV-2 infection does not affect the neurologic manifestations of long COVID," published in *Brain Communications*:

1. **Study Focus**: Investigates if vaccination before SARS-CoV-2 infection alters long COVID's neurological symptoms.
2. **Participants**: Included 200 post-hospitalization and 1100 non-hospitalized Neuro-PASC patients, from May 2020 to January 2023.
3. **Key Symptoms**: Brain fog, numbness/tingling, headache, anosmia, dizziness, and others.
4. **Impact of Vaccination**: No significant difference in neurological manifestations of long COVID between patients infected before vaccination and those infected after vaccination.
5. **Comorbidities**: Patients with breakthrough infections had higher pre-existing conditions like depression/anxiety, lung diseases, headaches, and gastrointestinal issues.
6. **Cognitive and Quality-of-Life Assessment**: Both groups showed significant impairment in cognitive functions and quality-of-life measures compared to a US normative population.
7. **Conclusion**: Vaccination prior to SARS-CoV-2 infection does not seem to affect the neurologic manifestations of long COVID, highlighting different risk factors that require targeted management.

The study emphasizes that while vaccines reduce the severity of initial infections, they do not appear to impact the neurological sequelae of long COVID.
A **US normative population** refers to a representative sample of individuals from the United States used as a benchmark or standard for comparison in research studies. Normative data from this population helps researchers determine what is typical or average for various characteristics, such as cognitive function, health metrics, or behavior. By comparing individual results to this normative data, researchers can identify deviations from the average and assess whether an individual's results are above, below, or within the expected range.

New research offers insights into the brain after COVID-19 that may have implications for our understanding of long COVID-19 and how the disease affects our senses of taste and smell.
