While discussing masks mandates, author Naomi Wolf expresses shock that a new study from Brown University — which suggests a 21% drop in children’s IQ during the pandemic — is not front page news.
In the decade preceding the pandemic, the mean IQ score on standardized tests for children aged between three months and three years of age hovered around 100, but for children born during the pandemic that number tumbled to 78.
They added mask-wearing by adults may have also impacted babies’ development because children were less able to learn from facial cues.
But this angle was not fully investigated:
“One aspect also not investigated here is the impact of mask-wearing by the study staff during child visits and assessments . The inability of infants to see full facial expressions may have eliminated non-verbal cues, muffled instructions, or otherwise altered the understanding of the test questions and instructions.”

They’ve got 80 more to drop to get to Biden and his administration.
“Anyone who has cared for an infant knows that it is important for them to see your face...they get cues from your expression.”
The family members must be wearing mask in their home if this study is correct. They should do a study showing America’s IQ dropping 21% during the pandemic.
They test (examine) babies at birth to determine health. There are add on’s through out life, including decline later in life. When your IQ falls below a certain level you are eligible to be a democrat president.
Wasting money on Stupid Stuff
I am taking notes. Wife wanted to go to Australia on vacation in retirement. That is out. China and North Korea are out as well.
Because the article is Enquirer worthy BS, There could be that..
This means red states will very suddenly become a lot smarter than blue states. Pass it on.
Women and soy boys rule Western civilization what could go wrong!
Last week, another study was posted saying that infants born during the lockdown and locked down, masked and prevented from participating in normal human society in their first months or year had an average IQ of 80 instead of the norm, 100. That is, when they tested them now, as earthly toddlers, they found an overl 20% drop.
FReepers attacked me heavily, saying there was no way their precious masks, social distancing and lockdowns could have caused this.
But they did. Infants have brains that are developing at warp speed, learning from people around them, facial expressions, mouth shapes for language, motor skills gained by being able to move around outdoors, all of the pre-verbal learning we do. And all that was taken away.
We are going to be suffering from this for a long time. Fauci should be up for crimes against humanity.
I don’t believe this study. IQ tests are not tests of education they are tests of intelligence. They are able to give very young kids without much education IQ tests. Sorry, but either you were born with it or you weren’t. Education is different, and you can become more educated or better read in life.
‘As for my people, children are their oppressors, and women rule over them. O my people, they which lead thee cause thee to err, and destroy the way of thy paths’. Isaiah 3:12.
It’s nonsense to believe the core CPU has diminished by 21% in a single generation.
Complete nonsense.
