". . . isn't supported by evidence."

This thread is _literally_ about the gold-standard scientific evidence (gathered by Spanish doctors) about how COVID is attacking the nervous system.

COVID-19 patients may have neurological symptoms, but that doesn't mean that SARS-CoV-2 directly attacks the CNS. As noted recently, most neurological symptoms associated with COVID-19 can be explained by vasculopathies and coagulopathies rather than the direct infection of neurons [1]. Such results are consistent with findings from autopsies. In contrast, neither of the papers mentioned in the linked article provide any evidence that SARS-CoV-2 is "directly attacking the brain".

The comment I made was _literally_ just two quotes from the gold-standard spanish doctors.

Such evidence is good when it supoorts your narrative, and bad when it doesn’t. Think about that for a second.
