The Nightmare Of Our Sorrowful Times is making babies born during Covid, ‘The Lost Generation of Lower IQs’.
The danger of the pandemic has come shockingly full circle. First came deaths of the elderly and those with underlying health issues. Now it’s jumped full-speed ahead to ravaging the newly born.
The tragic long-lasting effect of governments’ reaction to Covid-19: babies born after March 2020 are coming into the world with a handicap that will last over a lifetime; a legacy that breaks the hearts of all Mothers.“Scientists have discovered that the coronavirus pandemic significantly impacted the intelligence of children born during it: Living the entirety of their lives in lockdown has seriously stunted their cognitive development. “Researchers analyzed the cognitive performances of 672 children born in Rhode Island, 188 of them born well into the pandemic (after July 2020), 308 born before it (prior to January 2019) and 176 of them born during its beginning stage (between January 2019 and March 2020). They found that children born during the pandemic have pronouncedly lower IQs than those born before it.”A fateful fact of life, made all the more tragic in knowing that governments, worldwide plan to increase Lockdown orders over coming months.
“It’s not subtle by any stretch,” lead study author and Brown University associate professor of pediatric research Sean Deoni told the Guardian of the trend. “You don’t typically see things like that, outside of major cognitive disorders.” (New York Post) “Authors attribute the pattern to children being cognitively impaired from spending so much time inside with overwhelmed parents during the past year. While many adults have managed to tough it out, so much isolation at a critical juncture in the mental progress of infants has likely caused lasting damage. “Not being exposed to the wider world as much as pre-pandemic children and instead spending their infancy with stressed adults has left them at a significant mental disadvantage than their slightly older peers, according to the not-yet-peer-reviewed findings published Wednesday. “Parents are stressed and frazzled … that interaction the child would normally get has decreased substantially,” said Deoni, adding that the lack of stimulation during the pandemic has created setbacks that will be hard for children to overcome. “The ability to course-correct becomes smaller the older that child gets.” “Children from less financially secure families were impacted the most, researchers noted.

“Perhaps not surprising that children from lower socioeconomic families have been most affected as this resonates with many of the other financial, employment and health impacts of the pandemic,” University College London child health professor Sir Terence Stephenson told the Guardian.”Never lose sight of Covid’s most disastrous legacy of them all: “Children born during the pandemic have pronouncedly lower IQs than those born before it.” Why is 20th Century society allowing the sacrificing of babies at the altar of Bill Gates’ and Anthony Fauci’s demanding egos? From time immemorial babies have been lulled into slumber by the positivity of their Mother’s loving lullabies. ‘Scientist’-issued isolation never belongs in the nursery. Pray fervently for Almighty God’s intercession to reinsert tender loving care for all babies born in the Time of the Coronavirus.
