They are your kids, not the governments!

Study Out of Brown University Finds Children’s IQ Dropped 21% During Pandemic

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.”
