They note that data from 2020 was excluded due to covid disruptions. They address the limitations of self-reported data in the discussion section at the end - and actually, the fact that the rates vary significantly depending on age, race, and income suggest that there is something going on here. In other words, the "actual" rates of cognitive disability, if you could measure them in a more objective, non self-reported way, might be different from what they found. But even so, the dependency of the rates on age, race, and income might be real.
Well, Steve Bannon is making good on his promise to have maga flood the media with BS. We were warned. It's cognitive warfare in his perspective, he even clearly said as much. At least that's a partial explanation.
It's not that, although COVID has something to do with it. Under lockdowns, most people were told not to go outside, so we stayed put. Meanwhile, the Zetans were finally free to take the skies, and improve their cloaking technology without billions of people seeing them zoom across the stars. Now it's good enough that they can hover a few feet above you, spreading their rays. That's the cause of the memory and thinking issues.
These days it takes more work than ever to craft a dumb enough statement to be recognized as unambiguously dumber than what's being satirized. Your effort isn't unnoticed.
you will take notice that acusations of synicisim are no longer made, and acknowledgements are more (as you demonstrate) about trying to find and mark the place where everything changed
"The Zetans are a race of aliens that have been involved in the affairs of Earth and its inhabitants both before and after the Great War. They have appeared multiple times in the Fallout series."

My knee-jerk reaction was complications from Covid. It's knee-jerk though so its probably wrong and more related to stress like the article hints at.
…as measured by an online survey where they asked people if they think they have memory problems.
I’m skeptical of the quality of this result. Self-diagnosis is a poor measure of mental decline.
That explains EVERYTHING

Perhaps fast track product that released on the population in the past 5 years?
