The headline is broadly defensible, but the qualifications matter. Effect sizes vary by population, the strongest claims rest on shorter trials, and credible voices push back on how it's typically framed.
So, I just briefly want to talk about loss of sense of smell and regaining sense of smell and taste because these have powerful implications for overall health. And in fact can indicate something about brain damage and can even inform how quickly we might be recovering from something like a concussion.
Every Sunday: the week’s new conflicts and verdict changes — and nothing else.
Native comments, Twitter mentions, and Reddit threads about this claim — surfaced together so the conversation isn't fragmented across platforms.

Would love a "what would change this verdict" RSS feed. Sign me up if it exists.
In fact, how well we can smell and taste things is actually a very strong indication of our brain health.
Now eventually they'll be replaced but there's a phenomenon by which concussion and the severity of concussion and the recovery from a head injury can actually be gauged in part in part not in whole but in part by how well or fully one recovers their sense of smell.
