This is insane again as it was just found that an infection lowers your IQ by 3 points (2 big recent studies)*. The average person now has over 3 infections to date. We aren't even far enough in the research to understand the compound effects on the brain (and body). And basically, everyone in society, even the smartest people are losing IQ points at a time when we need people to become more intelligent and aware and able to adapt to an accelerating future...

"Extrapolation to Loss of IQ points, compared to uninfected controls:

Mild Covid, Resolved Symptoms: 3 points

Unresolved Symptoms: 6 points

Covid requiring Intensive Care Unit admission: 9 point

Reinfection: Additional 2 points "

The virus is a massive vascular infection attacking every cell on the lining of the body (blood vessels, endothelial cells) and even organ organs, heart damage etc... https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC8771611/
