These policies of "public health safety" went on to slash student IQ scores, stunt emotional growth, and create a dumbed down student population, while crippling an entire generation with social anxiety, germaphobia, isolation, hypochondria, and depression. These policies were not rooted in science, but in blind obedience to power-hungry bureaucrats and school officials. While hollow-faced officials like Anthony Fauci peddled fear, parents watched helplessly as their toddlers lost the ability to speak, to play, even to think normally. The damning truth? None of this was necessary. Sweden never closed schools. Florida rejected mask theatrics and fought for in person learning. Yet the autocrats plowed forward, trading children’s futures for the illusion of control—and now, the evidence of their crimes can no longer be ignored.
Key points:
The study, published this month, is a horrifying autopsy of what happens when societies abandon reason. Researchers compared children assessed before COVID tyranny with those raised under lockdowns, mask edicts, and social distancing cultism. The verdict? Lockdown-born kids failed every benchmark. Nearly all 17 studies showed plunging scores in communication, motor skills, and emotional resilience using the Ages and Stages Questionnaire (ASQ-3).
For 3- to 4-year-olds, the damage was especially grotesque. Mullen Scales of Early Learning (MSEL) assessments revealed toddlers suffered "significant declines in verbal, motor, and overall cognitive performance"—with losses worsening month by month. Translation: Every minute these children spent masked, isolated, or locked indoors cratered their brain development further, turning normal milestones into unreachable targets.
And where was Fauci? Woolgathering over "the science"—a phrase now synonymous with fraud. When DeSantis reopened Florida schools in August 2020, teachers unions staged coffin parades, shrieking about corpses piling up. (They didn’t.) When Sweden defied lockdowns, media outlets smeared them as "death labs." When Harvard’s Great Barrington Declaration proposed focused protection for the vulnerable while letting children live, Fauci actively orchestrated its suppression—proving he cared more about dogma than kids.
Even now, with stacks of data showing generational sabotage, the "expert" class contorts itself to avoid blame. The review’s authors lament: "It is still not well understood why and how the pandemic may have been associated with changes in development."
Bullseye ignorance. Have they considered:
The answer echoes through empty classrooms and broken families. Institutions prioritized compliance over competence, leaving children as collateral damage. Meanwhile, the architects—Fauci, Collins, Walensky—strut away unscathed.
No apologies. No reparations. The same politicians who locked playgrounds but kept strip clubs "essential" now pretend they never existed. Gavin Newsom dines maskless at French Laundry while California kids languish in learning loss. Randi Weingarten ($500K salary) still claims school closures were "for the children."
But parents know better. Some fought back, raising defiant, free-thinking kids who mock the masks and distrust the false authorities who tried to bind them. For most, though, the scars run even deeper—lowered IQs, socialization gaps, confusion, and a lifetime of catching up.
