There are studies that show having contracted Covid affected people's cognitive function.

From what I understand, covid can impact pretty much any system inside your body, even with infections that don't feel like a big deal at the time, like some messed up roulette game. We weren't able to beat it and not nearly enough people got vaccinated. I'm curious to see what literature comes out about it in about 10 years, in terms of societal impact.

I'd believe it. I've felt really off the past few years.

In fact I also feel like everyone else had been slightly off the past few years.

Trump probably knew all along. He loves the poorly educated.

Could you imagine the child sex-trafficking empire Trump Jr. could build if most the US population is dumbed down just a couple more notches? Huge. Bigly. Greatest child sex trafficking ring the world had ever seen.
