Lower IQ and Brain Damage: Results of the Faucian Response

Lockdown Policies and Mask Mandates Linked With Lower IQ in Children: Psychiatrist

The nation’s recent lockdown policies and mask mandates will create a generation of children who exhibit lower IQs and signs of social brain damage, according to Dr. Mark McDonald, a clinical psychiatrist for children and adolescents, in an interview with host Cindy Drukier of a Dec. 25 episode of NTD’s The Nation Speaks.

McDonald cited an Aug. 11 study by Browns University (pdf) which found that “children born during the pandemic have significantly reduced verbal, motor, and overall cognitive performance compared to children born pre-pandemic.”

The masks, “zoom schools,” and lockdown mandates lead to “deprivation overall, of social contact, [of] not being able to see faces, being stuck at home all day long, has actually caused brain damage to the youngsters,” said McDonald.

In another interview in the episode, the director of Oxford University’s Centre for Evidence-Based Medicine, Professor Carl Heneghan, cited evidence that pandemic restrictions and the “fear we instill into children” has led to “worsening” of “psychological problems.”


Heneghan cited his Oct. 2 study which concluded that “eight out of ten children and adolescents report worsening of behavior or any psychological symptoms or an increase in negative feelings due to the COVID-19 pandemic.”

“School closures contributed to increased anxiety, loneliness and stress; negative feelings due to COVID-19 increased with the duration of school closures,” the study reported. “Deteriorating mental health was found to be worse in females and older adolescents.”​

Tragic.

We are talking about testing the effects of lockdiwns on babies (under 2 years old). It is interesting that such a short time in tge development process reduces cognitive ability.

There are situations other than the pandemic where this information can be applied (babies requiring hospitalization, newborns to families who have recently relocated, etc.).

Interesting.

As I’ve said before, we may not know the full extent of the damage that has been to an entire generation of children for many years.

peace to you

The more I think about it (and when lockdowns started, the study was performed, etc.) the more this may be a little bit of chicken little syndrome. We are talking about IQ tests done on a group of babies, the oldest could only be 12 to 14 months old.

I think time may tell here, but it's probably premature to come out with hard core conclusions.

Like I said, we won’t know for years or decades. No doubt the conclusion will come, unless Big tech/Elites suppress the info.

We already have some studies showing disturbing trends among children of all ages that have fallen behind in grade level achievement, mental and emotional stress, socialization, depression, suicides etc.

I hope professional scientists with no agenda, candidly look at what we have done to our children during this pandemic.

I’m not sure any such person still exist, but perhaps someone will have the courage for an honest evaluation.

nope history will look back on this as tragic

I don't think it will take decades. If lockdowns had the impact reported I suspect we will know in about 4 to 6 years.

I don't worry so much about delayed development, but if there is permanent cognitive damage from a lack of social development that would be a concern.

History may very well look back at the anti-covid-vaxers as villains, causing the deaths of thousands via misinformation and thousands more by allowing themselves to be the source of varients. They may end up being the "abortionists" of the future (depending on how many children their actions kill).

Time will tell.

This is just outrageous, JonC. This is why I’ve stopped even trying to have a conversation with you on this topic.

I really need the ability to ignore. I guess the options are obvious, & why so many have come and gone not finding it a blessing to be here.

Why is it outrageous???? Time will tell that one conclusion is wrong, and that side will have contributed to the deaths of many.

Last time I respond to you. It is outrageous to compare “anti-vaxers” to abortionists. If you really don’t understand why, then no amount of words in cyber space can educate you.

It is not very hard. It only takes a little bit of discipline and maturity.

There is a member I choose to ignore - not via a button but by simply not caring what he posts. The key is I hold no animosity towards him. But I also have no love for him (thankfully he is nothing but an avatar....i.e., we are not personally acquainted). I'm ambivalent.

I cannot not think of him as a brother, so I choose not to think of him at all (I choose not to respond to his posts).

You seem to be too emotionally involved to ignore members. Maybe it would help to understand that we do not know one another.

I still would like to know WHY a moderator cannot be “IGNORED”!?!?
Is this just an arbitrary rule, or is there some valid reason?????????

I'm not comparing them to abortionists. I'm comparing how history may look back at anti-vaxers should they be the cause of children dying. If the vaccine kills thousands of children I'd expect history to look back as those encouraging vaccines in the same light.

Probably because you would be able to see comments should you need moderation.

That said, most of us are adults here. We should not need to put in ear plugs to hear uncomfortable opinions. We should be mature enough to handle opposing views and choose to simply ignore what we deem worthy of ignoring.

The difference is ignorance vs ignoring. What you want (via an ignore button) is ignorance. This is not the same as ignoring.

Don't loose any sleep over, "the vaccine," killing any children. Millions of children may die but it will not be because of, "the vaccine."

Why do you believe this? Children may be the most effected by anaphylaxis as they do not have an extensive medical history upon which to draw.

Masks did not cause a majority of voters to vote for tyranny. Everyone should know that top down economics results in stagnation, rather than innovation. So why vote for the economics of the Soviet Union or Venezuela? Now we have an open border to bring in more voters for tyranny, inflation to tax our way out of spending more than we take in, schools that run roughshod over parents, and on and on.

Our problem is not stupidity, but ignorance. Those voters do not know they are being played by those who promise everything but deliver misery.
