Annihilating the Human Spirit

Dopamine receptors impaired by SARS-CoV-2 infection and vaccination

Lately I’ve been wondering if SARS-CoV-2 infection and vaccination may be impairing the brain’s dopamine receptors. My curiosity about this began after observing the movements of people in airports and at my local Costco. In so many people—not only the elderly—there seems to be a slowness, reticence, and lack of decisiveness in their movements. Likewise, in recent years, I’ve had an increasing perception of widespread mental slowness—a decreased processing power in many people. Finally, I know several cases in my extended social circle of what appears to be rapidly onsetting Parkinson’s Disease and a worsening of Parkinson’s symptoms shortly after receiving COVID-19 vaccines.

My perception crescendoed this morning at my local cafe, where it I observed two young baristas moving painfully slow. In the space it took them to make my cappuccino, the old barista at my favorite coffee shop when I lived in Rome could have served at least fifty. It wasn’t just that these young people are lacking barista experience. They are definitely moving painfully slow, with a clear lack of decisiveness.

That’s when the question hit me: Does SARS-CoV-2 infection and vaccination impair or damage the brain’s dopamine receptors? A Google search yielded a paper titled SARS-CoV-2 can infect dopamine neurons causing senescence.

To the question of COVID-19 vaccines and Parkinson’s, I found this laughably biased study. On the one hand, the authors examine cases in which Parkinson’s symptoms did indeed worsen shortly after receiving COVID-19 vaccines. On the other hand, the authors plainly state their desire to show that these aggravated symptoms are mild and transient and should NOT cause any vaccine hesitancy for PD patients.

Obviously a lot more unbiased research needs to be conducted by neurologists and molecular biologists who are not votaries of the COVID-19 Vaccine Cult.

If it is indeed the case that SARS-CoV-2 and COVID-19 vaccines impair the brain’s dopamine system, then we can safely say that the people who are responsible for engineering the SARS-CoV-2 virus—and the people who engineered the COVID-19 vaccines that induce the body to produce the virus’s toxic spike protein—are responsible for impairing a key component of human flourishing.

Dopamine is a neurotransmitter that is essential to brain functions pertaining to thought, positive emotions, motivation, creativity, clarity, and motor skills. Researchers at MIT have created a brain scanning technique that displays dopamine’s enormous effect on general brain activity.

Thus, if you want to annihilate the human spirit, your best bet would be to create and spread an agent that impairs the brain’s dopamine receptors.

POSTSCRIPT: A couple of readers have asked me to attempt to define the relationship between brain chemistry and “spirit” in the sense of higher order cognition, feelings, personality, and character. The question is framed theologically—that is, are these not gifts from God?

I don’t know, but it reminds me of Dr. Frank Meshberger’s observation that in Michelangelo’s fresco “The Creation of Adam,” the composition of God looks an awful lot like a human brain.

While some commentators have suggested that Michelangelo was secretly subverting orthodox theology, I doubt it. More likely, he understood that spirit—the realm of thoughts, feeling, and creativity—emerges from the brain, which nevertheless came about as a result of God’s creative work in nature.

Another way of looking at this is that spirit is a so-called “emergent property”—that is, understanding the material and chemistry of the brain is insufficient for understanding human consciousness, thoughts, feelings, and creative ideas.

I suspect that a great deal of the brain remains a mystery. It strikes me as hard to believe that something as marvelously complex as the human brain came about through random chance.
