I was about to say, one of the big things we are learning is that what we see as merely a respiratory disease is actually a much more generalized attack.
This is why we are seeing things like a 40% reduced risk of Alzheimer if you get yearly flu shots. Short term you can feel bad from the shot but long term you are much resilient to the actual Flu's impacts. It looks like this could be the same with Covid.

- rubicon33 3y agoThe ONLY thing you should take away from this link is the following: > More research is needed to understand the biological mechanisms behind the results in this study. For example, it is possible that people who are getting vaccinated also take better care of their health in other ways, and these things add up to a lower risk of Alzheimer’s and other dementias.
- NovaDudely 3y agoThat is true to some degree. But I just picked the first thing that I could find related to that search. But on going research is starting to point towards the possibility that these repository illnesses are doing more long term damage, especially to other organs and the brain. That said this is still very early days and it could just be something that looks promising at first but could be nothing. The paths being explored does seem plausible. More research and data is needed. Reminded of Alzheimer's being linked to Aluminum, looks promising at 1st but turned into nothing.
