Marc has since deleted his post. That’s quite the admission of guilt.

It’s almost as if his post was based on fantasy rather than fact.

It’s almost as if he’s got absolutely no evidence to corroborate his nonsense.

So he’s a charlatan as well as a misogynist? Great combo.

SARS-CoV-2 isn’t just a respiratory virus. Its neurological and immunological consequences are real, measurable, and ongoing.

It targets the brain, impairs cognition, erodes empathy, and subtly reshapes populations.

Ignoring it doesn’t make it harmless, it makes the world more dangerous.

Point to emphasise: None of the deniers provide citations or studies.

Every claim is assertion, not evidence.

Not a single citation was provided to support these assertions. This isn’t debate, it’s denial in disguise.

Peer-reviewed science contradicts them repeatedly.

Claim: “Brain damage? Sneaky, invisible, nobody can see it, so they blame everything on COVID.”

Fact: Neurological harm doesn’t require visible physical symptoms. Brain scans, fMRI studies, and post-mortem analyses confirm damage in people with mild/no symptoms.

Claim: “No compounded risk of infections or cancers.”

Fact: SARS-CoV-2 impairs immune memory in some patients and is linked to increased risk of complications.

Chronic inflammation and immune disruption are known risk factors for cancer, it’s scientifically reckless to say “zero risk.”

Claim: “No lymphopenia, no immune dysfunction, no long COVID.”

Fact: Multiple peer-reviewed studies show SARS-CoV-2 does cause lymphocyte depletion, immune exhaustion, and long-term neurological effects.

Denial ≠ evidence.

All the “there’s no evidence SARS-CoV-2 causes brain damage” takes I’ve seen are weak, unscientific, and often just opinion masquerading as fact.

Let’s break this down with actual facts, rather than mere conjecture. 🧵
Marc Veldhoen tweets: “There was no lymphopenia, no superantigen, no immune damage/dysfunction/exhaustion. There are no large outbreaks of infections.
Furthermore, there are no increases in cancers due to SARS-CoV-2 infection, no compounded risk of longCovid, etc.
Now it is brain damage” Marc Veldhoen tweets: “Sneaky, nobody can see it, and nobody can be aware..... so they will always be right.
They will blame everything and anything on SARS-CoV-2, regardless of its lack of plausibility or the absence of actual evidence.
And all the ZeroCovid accounts are at it!”
