my own family: elderly parents and middle aged sister, all have been quadruple-jabbed. All three were fine/healthy before their jabs. None of them had "caught COVID" before their jabs, but they all tested positive around Christmas 2021 (mild-moderate flu-like symptoms after 3 jabs).

my own family: elderly parents and middle aged sister, all have been quadruple-jabbed. All three were fine/healthy before their jabs. None of them had "caught COVID" before their jabs, but they all tested positive around Christmas 2021 (mild-moderate flu-like symptoms after 3 jabs).
Now, all three of them are deteriorating cognitively. Sure, we might expect it of the elderly (who were pretty sharp a couple years ago), but my sister's "brain fog" is profound.
The short-term memory is shot on all of them. The ability to compose a coherent paragraph in an email -- also gone. They seem unaware of their deficits, other than that my sister is "exhausted" and sick all of the time now, and our parents are very concerned about her.
They make excuses for their deficits, is what I mean.... and I see this as a sign that their deficits include not being aware of their deficits, which is common in brain-damaged people. My sister's excuse is "stress, exhaustion" and my father's excuse is "old age" but he now seems to "play at" doing everything, rather than actually being able to do these things he could do fairly well just a short while ago. My mother makes no excuses but is angry all of the time, now, and she didn't used to be.... I see this as maybe from her frustration over father and sister's not being able to function well, and from her own brain damage affecting her emotions and behavior.
This is heartbreaking and devastating. It's bad enough to witness it in elderly parents, but it is somewhat easy to rationalize.... but it is tremendously unsettling and concerning to see it in my own sister.
None are open to the idea of vaxx damage, nor would any of them ever take "horse dewormer."
Dear 2nd Smartest Guy, I am going back in time to add a comment to this earlier post.... I notice that your subsequent posts only allow comments by paid subscribers. That is fine, but I am unable currently to be a paid subscriber to all of these wonderful substacks I now read.... I wish I could! But I can't. I am just adding this here to let you know that I understand and you do what is best for you. I appreciate your content very much and will continue to read whatever is available to your free subscribers, and I will comment "in spirit" even if I can't actually post anything.
I am just doing this paid subscriber comment only option for a short time over, as it is a lot of work to review all of the comments. And over the last few weeks I was overwhelmed with hundreds upon hundreds of emails daily, and that was interfering with my work email flow.
And at the yearly subscriber rate which works out to less than 9 cents per day for me to read and moderate and comment on the thousands upon thousands of comments seems like a fair deal anyhow...
Thank you -- that makes a lot of sense, and I appreciate your sharing a window into your experience of what must be an exploding substack. You have excellent content, and as soon as I am able, I will definitely be a paid subscriber to yours and a few others.

Dani, all content will ALWAYS be free.
