A virus that interferes with people’s cognitive skills has been found in 45% of a sample population conducted by Johns Hopkins Medical School. Now we know how Obama was elected.

Almost half the population may be infected with a mysterious virus that makes people stupid

Scientists at Johns Hopkins Medical School have identified a mysterious virus that literally makes people stupid, and it has so far been found in about 45% of the people tested.

The discovery of the “stupid” virus, normally found in algae, was revealed at the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences. The study, entitled “Chlorovirus ATCV-1 is part of the human oropharyngeal virome and is associated with changes in cognitive functions in humans and mice” is found at this link on the PNAS.org website.

The rather shocking take away from the study is that the virus alters the gene expression of brain cells, literally making people perform more poorly on cognitive tests, visual processing and spatial awareness.

So far, 90 people have been tested for the presence of the virus, and 40 tested positive, according to The Independent. [2] “Those who tested positive performed worse on tests designed to measure the speed and accuracy of visual processing. They also achieved lower scores in tasks designed to measure attention,” reports the paper.

I hope Dr. Dan will read this and the attached link from the Science Academy and let us know if this is legit.
I always knew something was wrong with the People, but chalked it up to laziness.

Always wonder why some people completely ignored facts not as if they were wrong but that they didn’t even exist, now I know why, progressive liberalism is a mental disorder caused by a virus — hmmmm.

Well at least it explains the mental disorder known as liberalism. I wonder if there is any connection to Beiber Fever ? http://www.gomerblog.com/2013/07/beiber-fever-determined-to-be-just-a-bad-case-of-syphili/
