Hardly convincing. 13% of hospitalized patients had impairment. 50% of those were fine after 6 months.

These are also old people. It's pretty expected that a life event that brings them to death's door wont allow some of them to get totally back to normal.

6% after 6 months in the old and hospitalized population is a whole lot of Nothing.

Approximately 6 million people have been hospitalized with Covid in the US. I don't accept your horrible premise that old people don't count, but let's run with it for the moment. About 25% of hospitalized people are less than 65 years old. So, 6% of 1.5 million people comes to 90,000 non-old people with some form of longer term cognitive impairment. Is that a large enough number of non-old people to engender even a tiny bit of compassion?

13% of hospitalized patients getting cognitive problems is actually much better than I’ve seen reported in the past.

I would have expected impairment to be a higher percentage for anyone having an extended stay in a hospital.

Where they vaccinated or not?

They are all dead now despite some subjects not being old. So statically, no they were not vaccinated.

Are you implying that vaccinated people do not die, or that the state of being dead "statically" makes the dead person un-testable for vaccinated status?
