Not only did lockdowns not save lives from Covid, they did more harm than good.
The ill-conceived Lockdowns did not just impose an economic catastrophe on the lower and middle classes and affected the mental health of millions - they've likely harmed our newest generation of children.
Ed Source: Pandemic effects may have lowered baby IQs, study says
A new study by researchers at five universities found that babies born during the pandemic may have lower IQ scores than those born before it. Babies who came into the world before the coronavirus had a cognitive score hovering around 100, according to this study. But the test scores of babies born during the pandemic fell sharply, to around 78. That’s 22 points lower than what’s considered normal.
Let's explain just how huge such a drop of 22 points from the norm is.
Let's put it this way.
The Dems love to rag on the military and claim military members are stupid.
Remember when John Kerry "told college students that if "you make an effort to be smart, you can do well. If you don't, you get stuck in Iraq."
Well, the US Army's IQ cut off for entry is around an 83 IQ (its complicated but pretty much that score when compared to the ASVAB minimum etc).
The military already does not accept the lowest 23% of the population already. (Insert leftists snide commentary about military members being dumb or "lowest of the low" (Yes a California Dem Teacher /city councilman made that comment) - when they're clearly not.
In short, the average child born during the lockdowns and mandatory mask rules with an IQ of 78 is literally unable to serve in the military or indeed conduct themselves in what is becoming a more and more technological society that demands intelligence.
This is a horrific result of an ill-conceived and enacted policy and is going to have severe consequences for a very long time.

This is beginning to remind me of Hawaii in the early 70s. 75% of the high school graduates were functionally illiterate... Sigh
