Babies born in the Covid pandemic 'have lower IQs': Three-month-olds now score around 80 on intelligence tests - compared to 100 before the virus struck, research says
Children born during the Covid pandemic may have lower IQs because of reduced interactions during lockdowns, a study has claimed.
Researchers from Brown University in Rhode Island found babies born since March 2020 have worse cognitive, verbal and motor skills than children who entered the world before coronavirus.
Lockdowns have meant children have significantly less interaction with the outside world, leading to 'shockingly' low cognitive development.
He told The Guardian: 'It’s not subtle by any stretch. You don’t typically see things like that, outside of major cognitive disorders.'
Scientists tested the children on verbal, non-verbal and early-learning skills to assess their development.
They calculate an early composite rather than using the usual IQ test used for adults.

Earlier in the year when “did you get the shot? I got the first one this week” was a topic of conversations a couple of my friends thought I was nuts for answering, “I’m going to wait for a while and see what birth statistics look like later in the year”.
I’m not laughing at them now. It is too tragic and sad to make light of.
They must have added 3 mo olds to the group of IQ test participants so the Democrats taking the exam look better in the stats.
Knowing a kid has developmental problems or not and MEASURING IQ are completely different things. They are “scoring” these kids. BS
They found a way to manufacture more Democrat voters.

As opposed to those three year olds before WiFlu who discussed the Pythagorean Theorem at day care.
Much better to sit in a crib all day with 12 other infants and have a stranger tend to you once in a while
Probably junk science but maybe mother’s wearing a mask and getting less oxygen hurt the babies development .
Dang. The Dems were planning for these ‘yutes’ to fill their ranks in perpetuity.
Not to worry, the Millions of illegal alien voters they are importing will surely fill the gap.
Bringing the IQ curve down so the BLM species will not feel inferior.....
Well we know adults got a lot more stupid!
My first thought. How does one give an IQ test to a three month old?
Born to vaccinated parents?
Babies need to see faces, not masks .... I wonder if this isn’t an issue with everyone wearing masks around them. Nurses in hospital, parents in hospital, maybe daycare, etc.
“MEASURING IQ”
Good point. Even though the dailymail article makes frequent reference to “IQ”, the paper they are talking about does not.
So the author of the article srewed that part up.
The research paper discusses “cognitive development”.
Great minds.
My initial thoughts too. Vaccine has zero long term studies.
I expect birth defects, sterilization and other fatal diseases
As intended.
So Byedone’s IQ is below 80?
Could it be that Fauci’s masks deprived the pregnant mothers and their unborn infants of important amounts of oxygen?
