Covid “Vaccine”

livefree2

My mom was living in senior apartments and thriving until the covid “vaccine.” She was cooking for herself, enjoying life, visitors, going on outings, etc. Then she got the covid vax and soon after got covid, hospitalized, survived remdesivir, and everything went to sh*t. Anyone else experience the same?

I wouldn’t blame the covid vaccine… but I would consider that covid itself can have a side effect of brain fog. Long covid causes a lot of issues. Covid also causes a more rapid decline in people who have mild cognitive impairment or dementia. I’m sorry the vaccine didn’t reduce the severity of covid for your loved one.

I also see that your mom is 94. Changes in abilities can occur rapidly at that age even without covid or dementia.

Agree with the above. It may all be coincidence in time, but covid infection certainly is known to accelerate dementia. The vaccine does not. She may have died without the vaccine, you'll never know.

My mom got the vaccine and then got covid. She had been having signs of dementia for awhile but she was living with my brother who just couldn’t fit it into his schedule to get her evaluated. So I don’t think it was the vaccine. I do think infections of any sort may affect an already weakened brain, just as any other part of our bodies. Think of the coincidence of UTI on a PWD.

It's hard to watch a LO become less capable and independent. Something very similar to what you are describing happened with the mom of a friend of mine.

Like your mom, this lady was a force of nature— a retired teacher living her best independent life into her 90s— socializing, playing piano for church, traveling the world leading small groups of seniors as a guide. She had been sharp-as-a-tack but as she hit 92 during COVID things changed. She took a hard-right politically and refused the vaccine; this was very uncharacteristic as she'd been part of a vaccine program in India with the Peace Corps right after she retired that how committed to vaccines/public health she had been. The difference is she didn't receive the vaccine.

Around the time she got COVID, she started to show obvious signs of a cognitive shift. She did seem to progress very rapidly after her first bout with COVID. Or maybe it was just advancing age and an elevated risk of dementia; about 1/3 of people over 90 have dementia. Sadly, she didn't survive the second time she contracted it.

Did you have a significant time and opportunity to observe mom between the vaccine and the disease onset to document changes? I know with my own dad symptoms were sometimes so subtle I only recognized them in retrospect.

Well, as you know, many people died from Covid. I’m not sure if you are implying the ‘vaccine’ caused her illness, which is not scientifically possible.

My mom had the vaccine and all boosters. Later there was an outbreak in her facility. She got very sick, very fast - I'm certain that she would have died without the remdesivir and steroids that she received in the hospital. There is no way to prove it in her individual case, but the vaccines have been shown to reduce the severity of infection, that is to say, mom may also have died if not vaccinated.

I saw a definite downturn in her cognitive abilities during and after her covid infection. She lost mental capacity that she has not regained, even though she was able to rehab to almost her pre-covid baseline physical capacity. I guess it's not surprising that covid would have such an effect on a mind already affected by dementia. Long covid can cause cognitive issues for younger, healthier minds too.

I am really sorry this happened to your mom. Yes, there is information out there that's not pushed by mainstream media about the many vaccine injuries that have occurred. My old roommate is an Acupuncturist and several of her female clients who had already gone through menopause bled after their vaccines, and each one of them said they noticed it happened after the vaccine but "it must just be something else". It is a tricky subject because people want to believe the vaccine is amazing and helpful when it really isn't (but again, mainstream media won't tell you this). I am really sorry and maybe reaching out to other people who had loved ones who got vaccine injuries could be helpful in this case.

There is a mechanism for reporting suspected vaccine injuries. The scientific evidence shows that the covid vaccines have saved many lives. I for one do not want to go back to a world riddled by vaccine preventable illnesses, most of which kill infants and the elderly.
