Large study links high IQ to swift COVID vaccination uptake

[x824]

What do you make of this?

A 2023 study examined the relationship between cognitive ability and prompt COVID-19 vaccination using individual-level data on more than 700,000 individuals in Sweden. The study found a strong positive association between cognitive ability (i.e IQ) and swift vaccination, which remains even after controlling for confounding variables with a twin-design. The results suggest that the complexity of the vaccination decision may make it difficult for individuals with lower cognitive abilities to understand the benefits of vaccination.

TL;DR: The longer you waited getting the vaxx… the dumber you are (statistically). What do that say about those who still havent got it?

High IQ = Cuck?


ok

[jall65000]

Completely plausible for obvious reasons...and uncomfortable reading for the knuckleheads.

[AWillis]

low IQ for those taking it and pushing it (let alone amoral) as there is no long term data to show the long term side effects to receiving mRNA shots, let alone having more than one

So anecdotally it doesn’t make much sense to me but what I’ve noticed as a smart but relatively uneducated person, is intelligence relies on correct information. We live in an era where everyone with a screen is bombarded with psy-ops from every angle imaginable.

Ultimately all that’s really gonna matter is who chose the correct sources of information.

So get the jab or else you're an idiot? That's how you're pushing the jab?

Yup. The study does not explicitly state this, but it is challenging for those with impaired cognitive function to determine whom to trust—whether it's a EMF-shielding spaz on ******** or the vast majority of the scientific community, including medical doctors.

[rectifryer]

Lmao no one high iq is quoting the p values for these studies.

[messomi]

absolute garbage thread.

[outfoxxed]

I read a different study saying it was a bell curve with the midwits like OP getting it and thinking they're smart

Only a retard gets an untested vaccine.

My guess. Older Swedes were most likely to take it due to being older and therefore more vulnerable. They were from an era when Sweden was ~100% white and so have a higher average IQ than the Swedish youth which today is like 1/3 third worlder. The youth don't take it because they don't think they're vulnerable to it and also because the youth is so heavily POC and POC think the white man is secretly out to get them.

Yeah, there was a report about 18 months ago which said vaccine hesitancy was strongest among those with a PhD background.

hahahahha

damn.

despite being neither in the "pro vax or die" nor "vax = cuck"... how does the study adjust for a variable like the one lemon dude pointed out?

[jtaylor2010]

IQ /= critical thinking


The vast majority of healthy people under 60 didn’t need the injections, even during delta. Or as another example, look at someone like Sam Harris. Perfect example of a brilliant retard. The word has tons of intelligent people who are terrible at thinking critically.

but that one was giga flawed btw

in the raw data of that ******** group survey, a lot of people put gender as "apache attack helicopter"

means you can trust what it said in terms of any of the categories, including how many PhDs are there really

This is potentially a good point.

I'd also argue that in general, people with a 'higher IQ' are in jobs, and rely on their career to a degree where they have more to lose, and it's simply easier to coerce them to the vax. High IQ people are just as capable of being pressured into doing stupid things as lower IQ people, especially when as previously mentioned they have a lot to lose. If my work ended up forcing the vaccine on me, as other companies did to many people, it would've been difficult for me to resist. It's just harder, on average, for higher IQ people to opt out of the societal paradigm.

It's also in Sweden, so culture may play a huge part. (as mentioned in the above post)

Either way, being shamed into getting vaxxed because one study implies a correlation between IQ and experimental vax uptake rate, is low IQ in itself. Honestly though, these kinds of studies are hideously limited and can easily be made to fit whatever correlation one wishes. I'd also question how they're getting the IQ of all these people, or if they're just guesstimating (didn't properly read the study to see the methodology, just skimmed). I'd say less than 0.1% of the population have taken an IQ test that is truly able to accurately assess their IQ. I'd also like to note that many of my collegues (who are high IQ) took the vaccine, yet as time goes by they have become more and more resistant to boosters, to the point where they're refusing further vaccines. These sorts of people would contribute to the dataset in the OP, despite actually changing their opinion with regards to the vax.

It doesn’t have to account for it because it didn’t factor them in. This is who it included:

The study population thus covers almost the entire population of Swedish men born between 1962 and 1979, in total 750,381, as well as the sample of women who enlisted during the period of 1980–1997, in total 2703.


So all the migrants, younger people and all the other groups didn’t get included. Hell, it barely even included any women(relatively speaking).

hello, i'd like to see some more rigged data.

People with higher IQ are too busy with work or intellectual pursuits to do their due diligence in reading. I'm quite high IQ but I'm permanently on the Internet and don't get indoctrinated by the BBC living in Poland.

As others who have actually read some of the study have already acknowledged, the study is flawed and does not take into account younger people (as they were not considered at risk, as mentioned in the study), i.e., those under 42, and includes almost no women. The topic is so controversial that I couldn't help but post it for the funny replies. I have no doubt that most of the people who either never took the vaccine or took it late have valid personal reasons for doing so.

But it’s not really about personal reasons for most people. It’s pretty simple and doesn’t require a high IQ(or even great critical thinking skills).


- we’ve never successfully created a vaccine for a coronavirus

- we’ve never successfully created a safe and effective mRNA vaccine for humans

- pharmaceutical companies have an extensive history of lying about their products and paying HUGE fines for lying and harming people. Creating an environment where they will be rewarded with billions of dollars for rushing through a vaccine while also having ZERO liability for any harm caused will certainly make it much MORE likely they will cut corners and lie about their product

- the techniques used to push the product were classic persuasion/brainwashing techniques that anyone vaguely familiar with would be able to recognize. Words like “safe and effective”, “antivaxxer”, “horse dewormer”, utilizing the groupthink aspect and ridiculing anyone who dared question it, etc.

- exaggerating about dangers of covid and outright lying about what the “vaccine” would do. Even purposefully testing for covid and counting hospitalizations in a way to exaggerate the numbers as much as possible while pumping out fear porn 24/7 to scare and confuse people(exactly what you want for persuasion and compliance). By the time the injections were rolled out it was obvious that only the elderly and extremely sick were at significant risk of having covid wreck them



- the list goes on and on….and really just those first two points should’ve been enough to make people wait. Couple in the other aspects and for most healthy people the better choice was to wait and see how it played out(which is the approach I took). By the time the first round of boosters rolled around it was clear the experiment had failed.

Lurking variable. People who choose to take IQ test, choose to participate in studies like this, people who live in sweden (cultural/societal/governmental influence)

You forgot the video with pharma reps getting a breakdown from the Netherlands health boyo on how to uptick vaccines even if they aren’t necessary by lying to the media and causing panic. (H1n1)

Pretty much this.

I'm certainly not low IQ, and it came down to 2 things for me:
1. The risk for someone in my group was extremely low
2. The clinical trials were extremely short (less than a year, whilst the 'normal' clinical trial period for vaxes is 5-15 years)

These 2 factors alone were enough for me to decide the risk:reward isn't good enough and to see how it plays out, without all the other noise from vaxxers and 'anti vaxxers' alike. The government coercion and attempts to mandate it pushed me away from it even further and has made me more suspicious (although i'm not really an 'anti vaxxer'), but ultimately those 2 factors were all that was necessary.

Ironically, this “study” will be most effective on extremely low IQ ppl in convincing them to get the vax
