I wonder if covid infections, perhaps in rare cases the vaccines themselves, is to blame for the post-pandemic phenomena of ADHD medication shortages, the crime wave, school discipline (lack of), the so-called college enrollment crises (precipitous decline), and record low OECD test scores.All of these can be explained by dopamine dysregulation.

Most of those can be explained by the lockdowns and school closures, which made millions of lower class people even poorer and worsened their children's educational outcomes. More poverty + missed schooling = more crime, less college enrollment and worse test scores.
