Importantly, the study said that only 275 participants had completed the intelligence test both before and after contracting COVID-19.
What’s more, the academics also found that their intelligence estimates for individuals pre-illness indicated that those who contracted COVID-19 were actually likely to have had a “somewhat higher as opposed to lower cognitive ability” before they were sick. “These results accord with reports of long-COVID, where ‘brain fog’, trouble concentrating and difficulty finding the correct words are common,” the authors noted. “Recovery from COVID-19 infection may be associated with particularly pronounced problems in aspects of higher cognitive or ‘executive’ function.”
This has been happening in gov for years so that means covid started in gov ?
I’m pretty sure that Tik Tok is the real culprit.
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤪 yeah, ok
Nice subtle way to say what everyone is thinking, “if you don’t get a shot you’re stupid!” 😂😂
Many antivaxers didn't have much to start with
Oxygen deprivation causes brain damage, regardless of why its happening. Anyone hooked to a ventilator will have some degree. Your brain needs oxygen to survive. First day reporting medicine ?
Canada already had a very low IQ population so this is scary to say the least
Duh.
Like all of the people in the picture you chose, wearing a mask outdoors!
Reading CTV propaganda must lower IQ significantly more!
4AnimalLife That’s really bad for all the unvaccinated Trump supporters and QAnon people. They already have a low baseline.
Wait till they start testing people that got the Covid shot! Just blindly taking the shot shows they don't have a brain in their head!
Well with people's behavior these days It wouldn't take much anyways
Finally something believable
CTV your credibility is nearing “0”. N=275, National Adult Reading Test, no Confidence level. ..
It'll bounce back
Same as voting for Trudeau 😂
Correlation is not causation.
Anything to blame for stupidity...
'The authors cautioned against drawing firm conclusions about the neurobiological or psychological basis for the intelligence deficits without brain imaging data.'
You mean the people who did not get vacinnated
Best tag line I've read all day 😂
I am convinced there's a s*t disturber task force working at CTVFakeNews pulling these 🦄 unicorn stories just to get folks to react, nothing better to do...
That explains the unvaccinated.
Liberals will always be linked to significant drop in intelligence.
This headline is hilarious
Maybe all them antivaxxers actually did catch covid last year, and not just the sniffles 🤔
Intelligence...that leaves horgan and Trudeau out !!!
CTV NEWS linked to a significant drop in intelligence….there, fixed it for you!!
I have to agree. The gene pool is pretty low in the past generations.
Cause and effect. Maybe lack of intelligence led to more COVID infections antivaxxers
'This was an intentional bioweaponisation of spike proteins to inject into people to get them addicted to a pan-coronavirus vaccine.' —expert testimony to CoronaAusschuss See _whitneywebb and 🇨🇦 Corbett Report for background
Bad news America.
A diet of social media will do that!
Wha pays you to spread this fear porn…you can not be doing this for free?
Sorry, I didn't understand the title. Can you repeat, please?
Only 275 completed the IQ test before and after contracting covid-19.
So question did you study a sample group that didn’t have Covid? Because stress of being told your going to die every day losing your job and on and on has nothing to do stress that could then also effect intelligence drop. 110% Covid related no chance could be something else?
Yes, they all seem to vote Liberal!
Geez, the unvaccinated will become Dumb and Dumber.
Government doing all the thinking for us. Duh!
Starting at the TOP!
I just call it the qanon factor
Any illness with oxygen deprivation causes a degree of brain damage. This isnt new. It should only be severe cases but a good portion of society seem to be low IQ , so who knows what they started with. 🤷♂️
Not just covid causing loss of intelligence. Too much self isolation, reliance on electronics and Netflix. It all dumbs people down. Read instead!
This is fake news. The criteria used is not just beyond flawed, its a joke.
The media, i give up 😂😂😂😂😂
As if we can afford this.
IDidNotReadTheArticle … but I’m not sure that makes sense. Might want to double check that baseline testing.
IM SHOCKED I TELL YOU, SHOCKED
And notably that drop in intelligence is evident in inanely foolish news stories like this one. Fatuous and vacuous news? Come back LR! lrobertsonctv
Starting with everyone in the media!
All I can say is get your vaccine so there will be less back logged surgeries as covid is taking up to many beds.
So what happened when you tested the negative outcome patients?
It's not like COVID deniers and anti-vaxxers can afford to lose much intelligence.
I think there are some really stupid people out there even before the vaccine. antivaxxers
So that means more people will become politically correct and vote Liberal.
Should read those who deny covid showed significant declines in intelligence
Lol 😂
How could this be studied? Assess full IQ and mental capabilities/decision making prior to being infected with Covid? Then reassess the previously unknown individual post infection and compare the results? Sounds far-fetched.
It would be helpful to explain how the virus gets into the brain It would be helpful to explain how the virus interacts with the brain once inside are we talking alcohol hangover fog effects or virus physically doing something. study is meaningless
However listening CTV is far worse.
Most of researched Americans,they're not that smart to begin with.
