> There are studies that have been done comparing people who had COVID-19, versus people who didn't, and then gave them cognitive testing to measure their ability to cognitively process information and test their IQ. And there's very clear differences in the IQ of people who had been infected with COVID-19 versus people who did not. Even mild COVID can give people about a three-point loss of IQ.

Hasn't pretty much the entire population of earth been infected by COVID at least once at this point?

The people reporting not to have been infected would have had extremely mild, non symptomatic infections, such that they didn’t notice them. I assume the symptoms are what cause the long term damage.

I had no symptoms and was not tested for COVID. I have been testing my self regularly during pandemic, however not always with PCR.
