Who can we trust in connection with real, honest and straitforward information in connection with Covid-19 ?

I've been hearing and reading all kinds of things so I decided to read up on some recent things published by Doctors of medicine because they are the experts.

Now I'm thinking maybe I shouldn't have done that.
Apparently neurologists in the UK have found some troubling information.

According to them some patients who had mild symptoms and recovered easily then showed later signs of brain and nerve damage in their bodies.

They are worried that another pandemic in connection with brain and nerve damage is going to happen.

WTF ?!?

The problem with covid19 is that new information is being discovered literally every day, and that information can change and replace old information.

A lot of anti-science complain about how scientists change their minds and aren't consistent but that's like... the point.

And what research seems to be pointing to is that covid-19 is a stranger, more insidious disease than a simple lung problem. But hey - that can change as we learn more. It goes in a direction but directions shift. Frustrating as hell, but turns out the process of discovery with a disease takes a lot longer than say, I had anticipated.

@CountScrofula You will get no argument from me about scientists changing their minds in light of new evidence in order to seek the truth.

Frustrating ? Yeah, not shit ! Everywhere I go I encounter people who are very much on edge because of the whole life changing experience. Tempers are short, everywhere.

I think it is sort of dumb to complain about scientists changing their mind over a new virus!! Isn't this science in a nutshell. Trial and error and simply experimenting! How the heck do people think scientists reached conclusions on previous diseases, they woke up one day and found the answer! *face palm*

@BittersweetPotato You actually left a reply in one of my posts ? I think this is a 1st ever ! Thanks for doing me the honour. Much appreciated. 🙂

@Wraithorn lol I don't comment because I don't happen to see the posts, that's all. Maybe we are usually online at different times! 🤷‍♀️ But it just so happened that when you responded to CountScrofula, it appeared on my newsfeed, so I commented! Well thanks for posting, I will try be more present in the future ☺️

@Wraithorn MissGaga is the best. I think we go back like eight years at this point.

And yeah the blood clot stuff is TERRIFYING. Young people are just abruptly dying of blood clots which is uh... really scary.

@CountScrofula 🤗 Cheers my good old friend 🍻 (but just be careful, for all you know, I might have been a serial killer in disguise all of these years O.o waiting for the right moment 😈)

Yea the blood clots are terrifying, new info and was not spoken about during the first phase of Covid 19 .. It is probably not just about Scientists discovering new things based on the ‘existing’ info that they’ve always had and just ‘changing their mind’ if we are going to use this phrase, but actually about the fact that the virus itself is evolving and changing! Plus different people react differently to it (I am honestly doubting that i may have had it during a period of time when i had high fever and difficulty to breathe but it just passed like that) but hey, if i had been diabetic, I may have reacted differently (if i did have it). So it is absolutely ignorant to complain about change of information, in such circumstances! Plus, I’d much rather scientists changing their mind in light of new info, than sticking to their old views and opinions, and not keeping up!
