> the authors are explicit that your interpretation is incorrect. It's not the neurons themselves, it's some inflammatory process external to the neurons that is causing damage.

I never claimed that infection of the neurons caused the damage. That is a strawman you created.

What I said is that there was damage to axons in the olfactory bulb, which is part of the brain.

If there are people leaping to wild conclusions, why not respond to them rather than trying to foist their views off on me?
