This could help explain a lot, including maybe recent the US Presidential election.
"...Covid-19 and the brain: an insidious loss of moral reasoning
"Initially dismissed as a result of post-lockdown awkwardness... this behavioural shift now appears to have a biological component. Covid-19... ...is now recognised as a vascular disease that affects multiple systems in the body, including the brain.
Even infections whose symptoms appear ‘mild’ can lead to long-term neurological changes, with symptoms such as emotional dysregulation, impulsiveness, and aggression becoming more common.
Neuropsychiatrist Dr. Adam Kaplin of Johns Hopkins University describes a phenomenon he calls “Covid-induced disinhibition,” in which individuals exhibit drastic personality changes after infection.
According to Kaplin, it is not the virus itself but the immune system’s inflammatory response to Covid-19 that can alter brain function, particularly in areas governing impulse control, empathy, and emotional regulation. These changes can manifest as uncharacteristic aggression, a diminished capacity for social norms, and a skewed sense of entitlement.
Covid isn’t just changing how we feel physically, it’s reshaping how we think and act."
