New Study Finds Cognitive Impairment Skyrocketing In USA
A major new Neurology study analyzing more than 4.5 million U.S. adults has uncovered a striking trend: self-reported cognitive disability—difficulty concentrating, remembering, or making decisions—has surged by 40 percent over the past decade
According to CDC Behavioral Risk Factor Surveillance System (BRFSS) data, prevalence rose from 5.3 percent in 2013 to 7.4 percent in 2023, marking the sharpest increase ever recorded.
Even just since 2019, rates climbed from roughly 6.4 to 7.4 percent nationwide—a 16 percent jump in only four years.
The most dramatic rise occurred among younger adults aged 18–39, where rates nearly doubled, from 5.1 to 9.7 percent. This climb began around 2016 and continued steadily through 2023, with no signs of stopping.
The implications stretch far beyond neurology clinics. The collapse in sustained attention, logical reasoning, and decision making abilities now pervades public discourse, workplaces, and relationships.
And two emerging accelerants are likely pouring gasoline on this already burning fire:
A nationwide South Korean cohort study by Roh et al analyzed over 558,000 adults aged 65 and older. It found that recipients of COVID-19 mRNA injections faced a markedly higher risk of developing cognitive disorders within three months:
- Mild Cognitive Impairment (MCI): 138 percent higher risk (OR 2.38; 95 percent CI 1.85–3.06)
- Alzheimer’s disease: 23 percent higher risk (OR 1.23; 95 percent CI 1.03–1.46)
Thorp et al identified 86 serious neuropsychiatric disorders linked to COVID-19 vaccination — including cognitive impairment, dementia, schizophrenia, suicidal & homicidal thoughts, stroke, psychosis, depression, delusions & more.
Given that over 80 percent of the global population has received these injections, there’s expected to be an enormous population burden of new or accelerated cognitive decline.
A recent MIT neurocognitive study—Your Brain on ChatGPT: Accumulation of Cognitive Debt when Using an AI Assistant for Essay Writing—shows that reliance on large language models like Grok, ChatGPT, and Gemini leads to measurable and lasting neural suppression.
EEG brain scans revealed weakened neural connectivity, reduced memory recall, and a persistent drop in brain activity even after participants stopped using AI.
By Session 4, when students attempted to write without assistance, their brains remained underactivated—unable to re-engage their own executive and creative circuits.
The authors warn that this “cognitive offloading” creates long-term neural dependency: the brain begins to outsource effort, logic, and creativity to machines.
Combine mass neurotoxic exposure with AI-induced neural disengagement, and the result is predictable: a population that cannot focus, recall, synthesize, or feel ownership over its own thoughts.
A society of cognitively weakened individuals becomes easy to manipulate, unable to detect contradictions or resist deception.
The world’s accelerating chaos—its moral inversion, confusion, and volatility—may not simply be political or cultural.
It may be neurological.

There has to be reasons. Drugs, vaccines, toxic chemicals, toxic foods, 5G, chemtrails…maybe other things. We will never know because the scum-that-be do not want anyone to know.

Yes…
Have yout people irradiate their brains with a cellphone 24/7, have them fed via coupons and “aid”, have them eat toxic waste, have them watch stupid people on TV all day, and then wonder why they all became braindead.
