Studies Reveal That Mask Wearing is Dumbing You Down!
An examination of peer-reviewed studies suggests regular COVID 19 mask wearing increases risk of mental retardation. Studies affirm what independent medical doctors are increasingly saying – mask wearing mandates are not only unscientific, but contrary to good health and can be deadly!
Below, we show how the scientific literature finds that prolonged mask wearing impedes brain function.
Top medical doctor, Britain’s Dr Vernon Coleman, is the UK’s best-selling medical author for several decades and has repeatedly warned how dangerous mask wearing really is – it can even be deadly to some. He tells us:
“Masks cause hypoxia and hypercapnia – and affect the wearer’s attention and cognitive processes. They make an accident more likely. Anyone driving while wearing a mask should be arrested. Insurance companies should refuse to pay out on claims if a driver was wearing a mask.” [1]
Hypercapnia frequently occurs due to hypoventilation secondary to limited airway pressure and/or tidal volume.
So dangerous is hypoventilation it literally is a matter of life and death to many. Anyone familiar with sleep apnea knows this related condition is well-researched and may be informative in guiding our understanding about impeded breathing, such as from prolonged COVID19 mask wearing.
Dr Coleman, who has built a sterling reputation since the 1980’s as a prominent whistleblower on medical malfeasance, warns:
“Over a dozen scientific papers show clearly that masks are ineffective in preventing the movement of infective organisms. They also reduce oxygen levels and expose wearers to increased levels of carbon dioxide.” [2]
Hypercapnia is the term doctors use to refers to abnormally high levels of carbon dioxide (CO2) in the blood.
As CO2 accumulates in the blood, you’ll see symptoms like difficulty thinking clearly, headaches, and sleepiness. More severe or longer lasting cases of hypercapnia may cause symptoms like dizziness, excessively fast breathing and heart rates, increase in blood pressure, twitching of the muscles, and skin flushing.
Hypoxia
Now keep in mind that when CO2 in the blood is up, as in hypercapnia, then oxygen (O2) must be down. A decrease or less than the normal amount of oxygen in the blood is known as hypoxemia. And if there isn’t enough oxygen in the blood, then there won’t be enough oxygen getting to the organs of the body, which is a condition termed hypoxia.
Hypoxia is, of course, a very serious condition for the body since every organ in the body needs oxygen in order to function. It doesn’t take very long for symptoms to occur as the organs of the body begin to suffer from the lack of necessary oxygen.

Chronic hypoxia-hypercapnia influences cognitive function: a possible new model of cognitive dysfunction in chronic obstructive pulmonary disease
“… cognitive impairment is strongly related to combination of chronic hypoxia and hypercapnia, and chronic hypoxia-hypercapnia-induced animal models may mimic the cognitive dysfunction of COPD. “
https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/18331781/
PubMed (unethically) recently retracted a study titled Facemasks in the COVID-19 era: A health hypothesis
See https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/33303303/
The above study warned of the lack of science to support mask safety in regard to brain function:
“Many countries across the globe utilized medical and non-medical facemasks as non-pharmaceutical intervention for reducing the transmission and infectivity of coronavirus disease-2019 (COVID-19). Although, scientific evidence supporting facemasks’ efficacy is lacking, adverse physiological, psychological and health effects are established. Is has been hypothesized that facemasks have compromised safety and efficacy profile and should be avoided from use. The current article comprehensively summarizes scientific evidences with respect to wearing facemasks in the COVID-19 era, providing prosper information for public health and decisions making.”
Likewise, in“Exercise with facemask; Are we handling a devil’s sword?” – A physiological hypothesis.
Chandrasekaran B, Fernandes S.Med Hypotheses. 2020 Nov;144:110002. doi: 10.1016/j.mehy.2020.110002. Epub 2020 Jun 22.PMID: 32590322 Free PMC article.
The authors found that:
“Exercising with facemasks may reduce available Oxygen and increase air trapping preventing substantial carbon dioxide exchange. The hypercapnic hypoxia may potentially increase acidic environment, cardiac overload, anaerobic metabolism and renal overload, which may substantially aggravate the underlying pathology of established chronic diseases. Further contrary to the earlier thought, no evidence exists to claim the facemasks during exercise offer additional protection from the droplet transfer of the [COVID] virus.”
We then examined a recent PubMed study on the impacts of walking while wearing masks Jul-Aug 2021;34(4):798-801. doi: 10.3122/jabfm.2021.04.200559.
Effects of Wearing Facemasks During Brisk Walks: A COVID-19 Dilemma
The objective of this study was to evaluate the effects of facemasks on inhaled oxygen and exhaled carbon dioxide. Healthy adults were assessed at rest and during slow and brisk 5-minute walks, with and without masks. What the results showed was that:
“EtCO2 increased; the rise was significantly higher while wearing masks: slow walk, mean EtCO2 (mmHg) change +4.5 ± 2.4 versus +2.9 ± 2.3, P = .004; brisk walk EtCO2 change +8.4 ± 3.0 versus +6.2 ± 4.0, P = .009, with and without masks, respectively. Wearing masks was also associated with higher proportions of participant hypercarbia (EtCO2 range, 46-49 mmHg) compared with walking without masks” and “Sensations of difficulty breathing and shortness of breath were more common while walking with masks.”
Thus, real world studies conducted during the pandemic are signaling a warning that prolonged mask wearing causes a shortage of oxygen to the brain and unhealthy blockage of excretion of carbon dioxide waste from the body.
Both hypoxia and hypercapnia are known dangerous medical conditions, but if you have avidly followed the FAKE NEWS peddled by the mainstream media you will never have heard of such risks from masking up.
While it is proven that in severe cases death may result, the more insidious danger is the unseen, long term effects on our brains. Just spare a thought for the harm being inflicted on children ordered to wear these soiled rags all day in schools.
To clarify the dangers on a strictly objective scientific footing we looked to American Journal of Respiratory and Critical Care Medicine (Volume 186, Issue 12) and looked at The Effect of Hypoxia–Hypercapnia on Neuropsychological Function in Adult Respiratory Distress Syndrome which detailed actual impacts of low oxygen (Hypoxia) on human subjects. https://www.atsjournals.org/doi/full/10.1164/ajrccm.186.12.1307
The study especially addressed the impacts of low oxygen on subjects who already have poor health due to respiratory impairment (Adult Respiratory Distress Syndrome).
A total of 27 patients were included for evaluation of psychiatric morbidities. The study found that:
“Given that the remaining half cohort consists largely of patients with a poor oxygenation index, the majority of the 27 patients should have a less optimal oxygenation index. As it turned out, up to 26 of the 27 additional patients presented with long-lasting psychiatric symptoms. In a way, this phenomenon implies that patients with a poor oxygenation index would end up with long-term psychiatric morbidities, verifying the authors’ inference that hypoxemia predicts long-term neuropsychological impairment among ARDS.”
In effect, this confirmed that anyone who already has compromised respiratory health will be most likely to suffer brain injury from regular mask wearing.
What about the impacts on learning and memory? We looked at ‘Effect of chronic hypoxia and hypercapnia on learning and memory function in mice and the expression of NT and CGRP in brain’ from https://journals.sagepub.com/doi/pdf/10.1177/2058739218818956
The aim of this study was to investigate the effects of hypoxia and hypercapnia on learning and memory function of mice.
Airway blockage, such as impedance from prolonged mask wearing may lead to Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), a frequently occurring disease of the respiratory system, with high morbidity and mortality rates. The authors affirming that the most important cause of COPD is hypoxia (low O2) and hypercapnia (elevated CO2). This was previously established by Liu CY, Parikh M, Bluemke DA et al. (2017) Pulmonary artery stiffness in chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) and emphysema: The Multi-Ethnic Study of Atherosclerosis (MESA) COPD Study. Journal of Cardiovascular Magnetic Resonance 13(1): 1–2.
Disturbingly, the laboratory test results from mice were damning. It showed:
“Our study found that chronic hypoxia and hypercapnia impaired memory function, increased the quantity of brain tissue lipid oxidation products MDA and DNA oxidation products 8-OHdG, decreased SOD activity, destroyed the stability of hippocampal structure, and reduced the number of Nissl bodies and increased apoptotic cells in mice. These indicated that hypoxia and hypercapnia enhanced oxidative stress response, destroyed tissue structure, and increased neuronal apoptosis, thus affecting its neurological function and learning and memory ability.”
https://journals.sagepub.com/doi/pdf/10.1177/2058739218818956
Brain cell damage shown under the microscope (above)
Pointedly, the authors observed that:
“Chronic hypoxia is usually accompanied by hypercapnia, so we speculate that hypoxia and hypercapnia may cooperate in this process and aggravate the damage caused by hypoxia alone.”
Thus, both these ailments, when triggered from mask wearing, may be inexplicably linked doubling the adverse impacts on brain function.
Personally, I have not worn one of these face diapers at any stage during the fake pandemic. It should be self-evident to anyone with a modicum of critical reasoning skills that exhalation is one of our body’s vital excretion systems, just like urination and defecation. To impede any such function is a recipe for long term ill health, including irreparable cognitive impairment.

Hi John O’,
This comment is not directly about your article but I have a question. How is it that I just learned yesterday about the book–Unsettled–by Steven Konin which was published months ago? I searched ‘Steven Konin’ to confirm that I had just missed it and the search found nothing.
This book is being criticized by academics from major universities which seems seldom publicly done about the articles which are posted here. Even though the criticisms are very similar to those which we read about PSI and the articles which it posts.

Hi John O’ and PSI Readers,
This comment is relative to John’s article
Large passenger airliners typically fly at an altitude near 30,000 feet (10km) where the atmospheric pressure is near three-tenths of that at sea-level. And the passengers are told that the cabin is pressurized so that in event of the lost of this pressure a mask, connected to a tank of pure oxygen with a hose, will drop down from above. And that we should immediately place this mask over out mouth and nose. And I believe most know why we are to do this.
Now, here are some fact about the mask we are told to wear over out mouths and noses. These masks are commonly constructed of a material capable of trapping tiny, tiny virus particles and yet allow even tinier air molecules (70% nitrogen and 30% oxygen) to pass through.
However, this is only a half to the story. We breath in the ‘natural atmosphere’ and we breath out the un-natural atmosphere of nitrogen, carbon dioxide, water, and maybe a few residual oxygen molecules. And I know there is a lot of water molecules because often my glasses will ‘fog’ over.
I doubt if many of you ponder how it is the gas molecules past through the mask material as we breathe IN and OUT. If the molecules pass through the material of the mask, it is by a natural physical process known as diffusion as the gas molecules are in constant random motion except when we breathe in we are creating a lower gas pressure inside the mask than that outside the mask so the random ‘flow’ of molecules through the mask is no longer totally random.
My thesis research involved the physical process of diffusion so I know (from experimental experience) that heavier molecules diffuse faster than lighter molecules. Carbon dioxide molecules are heavier than oxygen molecules. So I expect there will always be a greater portion of carbon dioxide molecules the atmosphere inside the mask than outside the mask Hence, because of the idea gas law, there always are a lesser portion of oxygen molecules inside the mask than outside the mask.
And it is commonly known (airline passengers and pilots etc.) that a lack of sufficient oxygen can be a cognitive HEATH PROBLEM!!!
Have a good day, Jerry

Hi Jerry,
Just an update on what humans exhale and some other info:
* Inhaled: 78% N2 + 21% O2 + Mix all slightly humid (~0.5%)
Exhaled: 78% N2 + 17% O2 + 4% CO2 + Mix all 100% saturated H2O
All of the above are rough estimates and vary with physical load etc.
* Also, apart from small private planes (e.g. sailplanes), no insurance company would work with an airline carrying pressurized containers of pure Oxygen along with passengers… the oxygen supplied to the emergency masks is generated by specially constructed chemical oxygen generators. Safety is paramount!
* And further, all NIOSH certified masks are rated in efficiency preventing penetration of 300nm particles i.e. DUST (N95 to N100); none of these masks were designed to prevent penetration by viruses (e.g. supposed corona is ~100nm dia); however, this common information about it today is very different from about two years ago and older — strange?

Hi JaKo,
Thank you for the additional information and for correcting my mis-information!!!
Do I understand correctly that there is no useful function for the masks??? Unless, it is to trap tiny water droplets if we cough.
I add that the temperature of the inhaled air is the ambient temperature of our environment while the temperature of the air we exhale is about 37C (98.6F) which makes the ‘water load’ the air we exhale extremely significant.
Also, the human body and warm blooded animals are heat engines and the waste energy produced by the food we digest most be removed from the body and the principal mechanism for this waste energy removal is the evaporation of water in the lungs. That is if the ambient temperature of the air we inhale is not 37C and near a 100% relative humidity.
Have a good day, Jerry

Hi Jerry,
Yes, you do understand correctly — masks, even the N95, in general population are useless while the prevalence of an airborne contagious disease is below some 15% — that is from the contagion perspective; however, while the common masks, what one sees people around are wearing, are even more useless — these are very important — as an instant and clear proof of obedience!
As “Mask Exempted” in Ontario, I have stories to tell while rightfully claiming my exemption — I may publish these one day… yes ma’am, I can’t wear a mask and I wouldn’t wear a swastika on my sleeve either, would you?
Cheers, JaKo

“Do I understand correctly that there is no useful function for the masks??? Unless, it is to trap tiny water droplets if we cough.”
Precisely. Surgical masks were only designed to trap expectorates and avoid them finding their way into an open wound during surgery. They CAN trap bacteria which are some 1000x larger than virus particles, but virus are too small and sail through this cloth as if it were not there.
Other masks have designs specific to their use but have little effectiveness against virus particles. To believe REDUCING the input/output of virus particles is a measure of safety or effectiveness is brainwashing, because all it takes is one virus particle to cause infection. Such as someone getting over a cold or flu even 2 weeks later is shedding little virus, but still infects people. WE ALL KNOW THIS.
Face shields and paper/plastic gowns are even more useless as airborne virus are everywhere, being carried through air currents and mixed via aerodynamics as people move and air conditioners cause draft. We’re all breathing the same air and if people somehow believe they’re at all protected even in a small way by using such apparatus are kidding themselves, to the point where they believe the virus will simply bounce off their “armour” or see all the PPE full of gaps and not bother trying. Likewise the diktat that sitting down without a mask is fine but “don’t dare stand up without one”. I’ve never seen such cognitive dissonance and lack of common sense.
It’s all government “health” propaganda that’s dumbing down the stupid yet further.
The mere idea that a paper gown and clothing underneath will stop any virus is laughable, because biosecurity labs use full suits containing their own clean pressurised atmosphere for a reason.
Most masks simply leak air all around the sides and through the cloth itself, being totally useless. They’ll trap bacteria and other nasties and quickly become a warm, wet breeding ground that you have to adjust all day with your fingers, transfer that to the fruit, veggies and other products at the supermarket, then back to your mask containing likely everyone else’s nasties to inhale and breed more. You might as well be licking public toilet seats.
All this for a (I contend a rebranded seasonal flu) “virus” the CDC never had a complete isolated sample of to compare in their panels, and many FOI’s in many countries have now proven the same of governments, for something that’s really no more dangerous than seasonal flu – and most victims already had one foot in the grave, but the so-called “vax” is actually starting to kill more than the virus itself.
To contrast, the Australian 2019 flu season “killed” almost 3900 in one flu season, the “covid” likewise “killed” about 1000 IN 18 MONTHS!
Now we have retards like Justin Turdeau and Bidumb spouting that the “vaxxed” somehow need to be protected from the unvaxxed. It’s insanity. Australia’s NSW Premier “double-vaxxed” Gladys Berejiklian recently said “I won’t let anyone unvaccinated come near me”. What does that tell you?

I had never considered the issue of COPD until now. It should be a crime to force a COPD sufferer to wear a mask or discriminate against a sufferer because of an inability to wear one. “I’m sorry sir but you can’t come into our establishment without a mask for any reason, which includes medical problems.”

My lung condition is medically diagnosed as C.O.P.D.
As an infant i was traumatised by forced weaning. That set me up for lifelong lung condition. During the late 1960s i became familiar with the Bioenergetic theories of Dr Alexander Lowen and eventually understood that the underlying condition pre-disposing me to breathing difficulties was deep chronic contraction of the thoracic band across the top of my chest. It was only last year that i obtained Dr Lowens 1988 book “Love, Sex, and your Heart” wherein on pages 60-61 he finally explained, for me, the link between forced weaning and asthma” “not all babies react violently to being weaned…Jim reacted to the loss as if it were the end of the world. The loss of the breast becomes a catastrophic event to which the baby responds by screaming and crying. The effort to restore the vital connection continues until the child is exhausted and has to stop for lack of energy. At this point the thoracic muscles are so contracted that the chest is locked in an inflated position.”. I suggest dust etc irritate the underlying chronically tensed muscles, a bout of asthma is triggered.

Would seem we have a lot of Dangerous Drivers in our Police, round here, in Darlington (England).
They are Exempt, if their Muzzle interferes with them performing their duties which I say, they certainly do interfere with their duties, being Muffled. Yet they Still wear them on duty. Yet more Proof Brain damage?
I don’t watch them while driving, because I expect to get pulled etc., I watch them because they are Suffocating themselves behind the steering wheel of a Guided Missile.
Bloody “Imbeciles”.
Sorry, but my other essay was already long enough. lol 🙂
All the best.
