We Just Got More Evidence That Long COVID Is a Brain Injury
The exact nature of long COVID is still coming to light, but we just got some of the best evidence yet that this debilitating condition stems from a brain injury.
Using high-resolution scanners, researchers at the Universities of Cambridge and Oxford have shown microscopic, structural abnormalities in the brainstems of those recovering from COVID-19.
Signs of brain inflammation were present up to 18 months after first contracting the SARS-CoV-2 virus.
“We show that the brainstem is a site of vulnerability to long-term effects of COVID-19, with persistent changes evident in the months after hospitalization,” the authors of the study conclude.

Again conspiracy theorists have IRL events and a culture whereas “Best Minds of Reddit” is a subreddit and not a community. They aren’t the same thing. People identify as flat earthers, JFK conspiracists et al whereas no one identifies as an anti-conspiracy theorist
People interested in a common topic may meet IRL, but that’s a specific community. Topics don’t overlap. There is no all encompassing conspiracy theorist community. The closest example I can find is Conspiracy Con which has not run for more than a decade.
Anyone who automatically dismisses a topic because some calls it a conspiracy theory is anti-conspiracy theorist.
My point is that r/tmor is just as equal a community as r/conspiracy
And Im not claiming parts of reddits are communities but ratger IRL comspiracy groups come with a community like any group that organizes around beliefs do. Your claim is that anti-conspiracy people are a community and they aren’t
