Turns out we're all just morons! huyuh huyuh huyuh
I’ll just leave these here… if you find more, please link in comments.
Just to appease the intelligentsia, defining ‘adherent’ (vs. nonadherent) without considering military context - ie: without stating that the COVID-19 products were mandatory else get the boot - is a tad disingenuous. Due to the role of coercion, perhaps more appropriate descriptors might include ‘willing adherence’, ‘non-willing adherence’ and non-adherent. We can tack on ‘yokel’ to the latter descriptor. I don’t mind.
If these descriptors were used, how would the willing adherers and non-willing adherers be distributed in terms of General Intelligence ranking, I wonder? Also, I would very much like to see how this standardized ‘General Intelligence Score (GIS) is assessed/measured.

The first two things I always check for are conflicts of interest and funding. The authors claim no conflicts of interest, but they don't appear to indicate the funding, so the next thing I would investigate is the authors and their affiliations. Clicking "Show More" under the authors byline unfolds this very revealing list (one need look no further than "a" and "b" to know this study is suspect):
a) Pharmacoepidemiology Research Unit, Institute for Drug Research, School of Pharmacy, Faculty of Medicine, The Hebrew University of Jerusalem, 91120, Israel
b) Israeli Defense Forces Medical Corps, Ramat Gan 5262000, Israel
c) Department of Military Medicine, Faculty of Medicine, The Hebrew University of Jerusalem 91120, Israel
d) The School of Social Work, Sapir Academic College, D. N. Hof Ashkelon, 79165, Israel
e) Azrieli Faculty of Medicine, Bar-Ilan University, Safed, Israel
f) The Uniformed Services, University of the Health Sciences, Bethesda, MD, USA
g) Division of Endocrinology, Diabetes and Metabolism, Chaim Sheba Medical Center, Tel Hashomer, Ramat Gan 5262000, Israel
Thank God I am so stupid I didn't take those injections!
