With many decades of considerable popularity behind him, Bruce Willis made news when announcing the end to his career at a relatively young age of 67. The reason was the brain illness aphasia that is a loss of language and communication skills, most often associated with strokes. There are no easy or quick medical fixes for aphasia.
A number of news reports indicated his illness was building over some years for Willis.
What is not widely known is that there is significant evidence that COVID vaccines also cause aphasia. This should not be surprising because many COVID vaccine adverse impacts involve blood problems and clots that can affect the brain.
Here are data from the CDC VAERS system on COVID vaccine aphasia impacts.
Note that this vaccine impact hits mostly older people.
Here are a few cases of aphasia from the VAERS system:
