(Adam Wilson) As Covid hysteria grips the United States and the world once again due to the Omicron variant, a new study conducted by McGill University and the Montreal Neurological Institute-Hospital found that Covid hysterics are worst at information processing and have a distorted view of risk.

“A new study has found that those who are worried about the COVID-19 pandemic are slower at processing information, worse at retaining information and more likely to overestimate negative odds than their less anxious counterparts.
The study, conducted by McGill University and the Montreal Neurological Institute-Hospital, surveyed 1,500 Americans online from April to June 2020.
The authors concluded that people more worried about coronavirus and its effects performed worse at information processing tests and had a distorted view of risk levels.”
The study also found a marked decline in cognitive processing among the general population as the pandemic progressed.
“As the pandemic progressed, test takers in the third wave – around June 2020 – showed slower processing speeds, a lower ability to maintain goals in mind, and were more sensitive to risk than those in the first wave, according to McGill.”
The researchers used a ‘classical economic choice task’ to measure risk preferences. Participants were asked to choose between a 100% probability of winning $75 and a 75% probability of winning $100 with a 25% probability of winning $0. Those who were more sensitive to the risks associated with Covid-19 were more likely to choose the latter option than those who were not.
Stillness in the Storm Editor: Why did we post this?
The news is important to all people because it is where we come to know new things about the world, which leads to the development of more life goals that lead to life wisdom. The news also serves as a social connection tool, as we tend to relate to those who know about and believe the things we do. With the power of an open truth-seeking mind in hand, the individual can grow wise and the collective can prosper.

People have lost their minds. The plandemic is a gigantic hoax and people have been lining up for bioweapons disguised as vaccines. Now their children are targets and I will not be surprised if the parents are going to go along with the plan. This is the Globalist New World Order Madness Genocidal agenda. Murder! This is not about a virus. The latest freakout is about Omicron. Dr Robert Malone says Omicron is highly contagious but elicits a strong immune system response. Not much more than a cold! However, people are lining up for the test. I don’t know what they are using now, but the ones that were being used have their own risks and were supposed to be discontinued. These are Crimes against Humanity. We need Nuremberg 2.0 Now! Now we have the compromised justice system weighing in and aside from the corruption and loss of integrity, they must have been dumbed down too, because they are clueless.
