You're being downvoted, but it's well known that brain damage is a common and measurable result of COVID infection. The lower test scores is doubtlessly multivariate. But one variable is indeed brain damage: https://www.health.harvard.edu/mind-and-mood/does-covid-19-damage-the-brain https://www.health.harvard.edu/mind-and-mood/does-covid-19-d... (Don't get overly worried. If you're vaccinated, odds are high your brain won't be and hasn't been measurably damaged.)

That article contains no actual evidence of COVID-19 brain damage in children. Have there been any large-scale controlled studies which actually show significant effects in terms of decreased academic performance or real damage on brain imaging studies (not just structural changes which may or may not indicate damage)? And I mean studies with proper controls which compared recovered subjects either with themselves prior to infection, or with matched cases who had never been infected. Individual case studies or observational studies don't tell us anything useful at the population level.
