The public has been falsely reassured that COVID-19 is mild unless it causes hospitalization, when in fact, it has been proven that even asymptomatic cases can result in long-term damage across multiple systems in the body. Millions of children and adults are currently disabled from long COVID with no cure. Explore our curated library of articles and peer-reviewed studies showing the lasting risks COVID-19 poses after every infection, no matter the severity.
Brain Damage
COVID-19 causes significant and lasting neurological effects, extending far beyond respiratory symptoms. From memory loss to cognitive impairment and severe psychiatric disturbances, the virus poses a serious threat to brain health.
Heart Damage
Studies show that COVID-19 can significantly increase the long-term risk of heart issues, including heart attacks and strokes in people of all ages for years after the initial infection.
Vascular Damage
At first, COVID-19 was believed to primarily affect the lungs, but it’s now clear that it also damages the lining of blood vessels. This can result in abnormal clotting, impaired blood flow, leaky vessels, and a range of other complications.
Increased Cancer Risks
Research suggests that COVID-19 may increase cancer risk through several mechanisms, including chronic inflammation, immune system disruption, oxidative stress, and the reactivation of dormant oncogenic viruses. While SARS-CoV-2 is not itself a cancer-causing virus, its impact on the body could contribute to conditions that promote cancer development.
Alzheimer’s and Dementia
COVID-19 may be quietly reshaping the brain—triggering memory loss, emotional instability, and even accelerating and causing conditions like dementia and Alzheimer’s. Studies show long COVID patients over 65 are up to five times more likely to develop cognitive impairment, with brain scans revealing disturbing changes linked to dementia.
ME/CFS& POTS
Recent studies show that around half of people with Long COVID meet the criteria for ME/CFS (myalgic encephalomyelitis/chronic fatigue syndrome), a serious and often disabling condition. Evidence is also mounting that COVID-19 can trigger or worsen POTS (Postural Orthostatic Tachycardia Syndrome), showing the long-term impact the virus can have on the nervous system and overall health.More
Ocular Damage
COVID-19 can affect nearly every part of the eye, sometimes entering through the surface and even crossing into the retina. While mild cases may cause redness, tearing, or swelling, severe long-term effects include blocked retinal blood vessels, optic nerve damage, and lasting corneal nerve loss. In some patients, these changes can lead to permanent vision loss.
