An analysis of people who were hospitalised with covid-19 in the first wave of the pandemic has revealed that the ongoing decline in their cognitive abilities is the equivalent to losing 10 IQ points

The cognitive abilities of people who were hospitalised with covid-19 during the first wave of the pandemic remain lower than expected, even years later, and there is some evidence that this is forcing them to change jobs.

“What we found is that the average cognitive deficit was equivalent to 10 IQ points, based on what would be expected for their age, et cetera,” says Maxime Taquet at the University of Oxford.

You can tell the people worth blocking because they only ever go back and forth between extreme viewpoints, looking for any strawman they can stand up.

The Lemmy classic: say something stupid, double down, and get pissed when people call it out.

You were actually wrong here mate. They provided, correctly, the multiple sources of lead poisoning.

It wasn't kids eating the paint but the dust that was a big problem.

I don't know what comment you are reading but the bullshit I blocked has literally zero references anywhere in it.

So either you are a badly configured bot or a sockpuppet.

Welcome to the list, mate.

Sources as in causes of poisoning not references. Maybe work on your reading comprehension before you're pointlessly rude to people.
