True, but it is not opinion, and is reporting results contained in a paper. The reporting itself looks pretty even handed. (For example, paragraph 5 reads, "At the same time, the results do not prove a direct link between lockdowns and a drop in intelligence among school children.") The paper itself also looks comprehensive (a French academic partnership, without conflicting interests if the paper's disclosure statement is to be taken at face value).

It's not appropriate to dismiss it simply on the basis of it being reported in the Telegraph. It will hopefully be a catalyst for further work, and inform future NPI-based responses.
