‘Experts’ Move The Goalposts, Declare Herd Immunity Threshold Now 90% Due To Delta

Next it will be 90% must have the 3rd & 4th booster shots.

This is complete BS!! Why is anybody listening to these idiots? It has been obvious for a long time that they don't have a clue what they are talking about.

Imagine if you took your car in for a flat tire & agreed to fix that. Then they said you needed 4 new tires, then a new radiator, and they wouldn't let you drive your car until you also got new shock absorbers, and still you can't drive the car until you reupholstered all the seats. Who in the world would go along with that crap?

People recovering from Covid may have ‘substantial’ drop in intelligence

The long-term effect of a Covid-19 infection could include a drop in intelligence, according to new research.

Between January and December last year, scientists conducted the Great British Intelligence Test that examined the IQ of 81,337 people.

Among that number were 13,000 who had been infected with the virus.

Once the scientists had factored out things like age, sex, language and education level, they found people recovering from Covid saw the biggest decline.

The researchers urge caution on drawing too many conclusions without brain imaging data. Instead, they say the results should act as a clarion call for further research into the issue.
Interestingly, separate research on the effects of long Covid on the brain has taken imaging into account.

A preprint study, which has yet to be peer-reviewed, has been published suggesting neurodegenerative diseases (for example: Parkinson’s, Alzheimer’s or cancer) could be more likely to develop after Covid spreads through nerves in the brain.

‘UK Biobank scanned over 40,000 participants before the start of the Covid-19 pandemic, making it possible to invite back in 2021 hundreds of previously-imaged participants for a second imaging visit,’ the academics wrote in their paper.

Fear porn? These researchers won’t worry about unemployment for a long time. The outcome of their studies depends on who paid them.

GREAT analogy!
