SM and COVID

After I was diagnosed with MS in october last year, I asked for a second medical opinion. The second neurologist told me that in her opinion the COVID infection I had last year in january would have triggered the MS, knowing that in 2012 I had Lyme disease, when I went blind and was initially thought to be MS… anyone else in the same situation, has anyone else heard if the Covid could be a trigger for MS or a new flare up?
