First, those in the "vaccine hesitancy" category are astute enough to know that any studies correlating jab-refusal to lower intelligence are BS. Sadly, everyone else may just believe it. Second, I can offer a much more accurate assessment of those who saw through the incessant lies and gaslighting; such individuals prefer to engage in critical thinking, forgoing orthodoxy, dogma, group think, and societal pressures to vigorously research and pursue the truth. To do so, has cost many of us a great deal. Those who stood up to say "no" to the inescapably malicious, multi-pronged attack on our country spent countless hours digging for the truth, only to find and then confront and digest the heinous agenda of the globalist elites, who are behind all of the untold evil. We were left to not only grapple with a more brutal reality than could have ever been conceived of prior to 2020, we were also left to do so alone, swimming against the tide. All who risked everything to speak and share the truth, despite losing jobs, losing standing their communities, losing friends, losing family connections, losing peace of mind, these are people who are the faces of sheer courage. We also know that the world may not come to realize our sacrifices during our lifetimes. Still, we shall not be moved.

As an anti-vaxxer for over 50 years, there is nothing the medical world can say that I will ever believe. Nothing the media can ever say that I will believe. Nothing any politician says that I will ever believe. Sure, the truth may occasionally slip out coming from one of these "trusted" sources, but rest assured, it was a mistake.

Just this morning kn the south african news, malaria drugs for kids in Africa, the other day polio drops in paki, with unwilling parents a prison promise when not complying, and the drops had a devastating effect by creating polio, my my. Compliments from gavi. I think we should force feed gates these drops if these drops are so excellent. How the heck do they still keep on murdering, as if they got the licence now. And how the heck does the govs let them..and when are people going to realize there is no such thing as a caring government.

Same!

Absolutely beautiful summation. Top 1% in intelligence are always going to be a hard no to all vaccines. No hesitation involved. Just an immediate refusal to let anyone inject them with any of their lab created concoctions. Our body’s immune system was designed specifically to protect us. A bunch of geeks in a lab can’t improve on the original design.

Thing is, mostly intelligent people fall for this. They should rather have research done on how fear affects reason...

there is a range of intelligence, and subset components of varying types. Absolutely agree with the impact of emotions on critical thinking.

Yes and no. Vaccine hesitancy is bifurcated with both the most educated and least educated having the most hesitancy. Masters degree holders were the most enthusiastic about getting it, PhD the least followed closely by HS only.

I know many PhDs, scientists in fact, that were on board with getting vaxxed, hook, line, and sinker.

'Only' and '76 Percent' don't really go together, but it's better than 92% vaccine enthusiasts with a Masters degree. I just heard Ed Dowd say 1.3 million Americans went on disability over the past two months. That's now 18% of the workforce

I think the intelligence "false" score is there to put the unvaxxed in the stupid category and to give the willingly vaxxed a false sense of intelligence and übermensch quality. Almost like in Charite Hospital in Berlin in the 1940's and the Ahnen Pass, where eventually all the super clever vaxxed even get promotions because they are more clever and we stay in the dogbox. Ha ha. This is extremely ridiculous. These science groups are probably part of the medical cleansing Ahnen groups, and should be rid of their practicing licence.

"vaccine hesitancy"...in the real world, only those who didn't have the ability to tell the difference between lies and truth, those who didn't have the will and ability to look around to understand what's going on, those who live in netflix or swallow not chewing the official rhetoric, they injected themselves. no man in his right mind suddenly injects a substance into his body just because he is told to (even when you buy shoes, think and look about it until you choose), without detailed information, without evidence, without reason, without informed consent. moreover, no sane person can believe that all of a sudden, the "state" is interested in the personal health of an individual and for this reason it can impose on him where to go, when to stay indoors, when and how to travel, what to say, what to believe, how to disguise, how many people he is allowed to meet. no man in his right mind could believe that in the same second, all countries proceed in the same way, as if the particularities had been wiped away with a sponge overnight. and so on. Thanks God I live in country where just around 30% (and still is too much) got the poison. Let's see how many will take it this next round.

Hesitancy always makes me laugh. It’s their term that implies that everyone will eventually accept the poison, but the hesitant need a bit more coercion. I’m a rock hard “no” to all injections unless it’s a painkiller for a kidney stone or a root canal.

Yes, THEY, being very attentive to the language and the related message, they replaced refusal with hesitation, is more comercial and confusing and can generate more coercion, convincing ideas. No, there was no hesitation on the part of those who decided not to inject themselves.

It seems that most research is actual rubbish. It may be time to stop reading it!

From the conclusion of the "study":

"Our findings also imply that if everyone were vaccinated as swiftly as individuals with a high cognitive ability, the pandemic would likely have ended earlier, with fewer lives lost and with lower costs for society (Kominers and Tabarrok 2022)." One wonders who funded this psycho-babble?

Intelligence and "education" do not equate to wisdom. Man's wisdom is but folly to God. It is by Faith we are saved. https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Ephesians%202%3A8%2D10&version=ESV Be in the Word.

Yes, people playing inside a plastic bubble or letting their kids play inside a plastic box are very very smart.

Bravo! Great find! Thank you!

Fast forward twenty years and there are only two groups left: those who proudly reference their bold refusal to compromise their morals and health under draconian mandates, and... those who would prefer to change the subject, as they hack and cough and wheeze and lineup for their medications at the sanatorium...

This is funny. And all the time i thought i was a sensitive human being, now i realize i am hardcore and rough by not accepting any snot big pharma is selling.

Expand full comment

So, if this gets some fetch going, will they then attribute the elevated death rates and "unknown causes" to neurotic stress and put all the vaccinated on psych meds to dumb them down even more?

I disagree with this. I would suggest neuroticism had little to do with it.

my problem with the study is over the period it was done:

"Vaccination rates as well as gross domestic product, median age, Obesity rates (Body Mass Index >30) were extracted from Ourwourldindata.org on January 31, 2022"

by then there were a bunch of mandates and or coercion in America.

now maybe it would be better to correlate to the leaders of those countries?

and i guess if the country is, then their leaders would be....

had private vaccine mandates in the U.S. July 2021.

government mandates in the U.S. by Sept 2021.....

it is really a weeder-outer. A range of coercive pressure on individuals, depending on the setting: student? nurse? government worker? construction trade?

For some, it was easier to escape the boot. For others, intense pressure.

For those at the extreme end who experienced the absolute "jab or job" pressure and managed to resist at great personal and/or professional cost and to this day remain unjabbed -- now THAT is a particularly strong person.

I really wished they would stop using the term "vaccine hesitant". I'm sure they do it on purpose, to make it sound like we just need to be persuaded, we're "not sure" of ourselves.

Well, that is flat out BS. I was never hesitant. Never wishy washy. I was never going to take the shot. No idiot comedian with dancing syringes, no food bribes, no guilt trips, etc., would ever be able to change my mind. Hesitant, my _ss. Vaccine free forever!

How funny. Can I ask, why do you think the top study on cognitive ability is garbage? I saw the criticism that they did not control for prior Covid infection, which seems like a MAJOR oversight, but was there anything else?
