Silver writing.\u00a0 Hypoxia is a diminished supply of oxygen to the body.\u00a0 I’ve been trained about hypoxia – recognizing it, the dangers, contributing factors.<\/p>\n
Hypoxia is extremely dangerous because it makes most people feel happy and overconfident.\u00a0 They act as if they are drunk.\u00a0 They deny that there is any problem, even as they lose the ability to perform simple tasks.<\/p>\n
This video\u00a0<\/a>shows a pilot undergoing hypoxia training.\u00a0 He’s in a chamber where the pressure can be lowered to simulate various altitudes.\u00a0 The training simulates an explosive decompression, and while it doesn’t specify the simulated altitude, it’s above 26,000 feet.<\/p>\n Watch that 3+ minute video.\u00a0 Notice how quickly and completely the pilot is incapacitated. Unable to perform a simple task, he has no idea that he is impaired.\u00a0 He would have lost consciousness and died without assistance.<\/p>\n I was struck by a number of recent videos posted to the internet showing people wearing masks acting as if they were profoundly incapacitated.\u00a0 A woman who can’t park her car<\/a> at the gas station so that the filling port is next to the pump.\u00a0 She fails several times before someone coaches her.\u00a0 A man who can’t figure out how to close the hatch on his own car<\/a>.\u00a0 I’ve also seen multiple disturbing videos of people getting into fist fights while wearing masks.\u00a0 Fist fights happen in bars, but these are in stores, on the sidewalk, in parking lots.\u00a0 The people don’t look or fight like street fighters.<\/p>\n The comments tend to remark on the stupidity of these people, but that’s just not plausible.\u00a0 These people are failing to complete normal everyday activities, and something is dreadfully wrong.<\/p>\n It’s not difficult to find the cause.\u00a0 Despite constant MSM denials that masks cause hypoxia, it’s easy to show that they do.\u00a0 I traveled by jet recently, and brought a pulse oximeter along.\u00a0 It’s a small device that clips on your finger and measures the saturation level of oxygen in your blood (called O2 sat).\u00a0 Healthy people have 95% to nearly 100% saturation.\u00a0 Anything below 90% is considered low.\u00a0 If O2 sat falls to the low 80s, vital organs can be damaged, and death is a possibility.\u00a0 But just like the pilot, most people with low O2 sat due to hypoxia not only don’t notice any symptoms, but claim to feel fine and believe they are perfectly normal.<\/p>\n A jet airplane at cruise altitude has reduced cabin pressure, equivalent to about 8,500 feet altitude on most flights.\u00a0 I measured my O2 sat with the oximeter; it had fallen from 98% at sea level to 95% at cruise altitude.\u00a0 Since I live near sea level, this wasn’t surprising or alarming.<\/p>\n Then I put on a simple cloth mask.\u00a0 Within minutes the oximeter was beeping in alarm.\u00a0 My O2 sat levels had fallen below 88% and were still dropping when I took the mask off.<\/p>\n This man has a much better instrument<\/a>, a hazardous gas monitor.\u00a0 They measure oxygen in the atmosphere and detect dangerous gases like carbon monoxide and hydrogen sulfide.<\/p>\n Normal oxygen concentration is close to 20.5%.\u00a0 OSHA regulations forbid sending workers into a space with less than 19.5% oxygen.\u00a0 When I was wearing these monitors, we were trained never to enter an area with less than 19.5% oxygen with\u00a0 without special training, written procedures, breathing apparatus that supplies air or oxygen, and a team outside with another equipped person to monitor.<\/p>\n In the video, the gas monitor reads normally when the intake tube is held at the corner of the man’s mouth.\u00a0 When he puts on a mask, the oxygen level immediately falls to 17.4%.<\/p>\n If an employer sent employees into a space with 17.4% oxygen, they would be subject to fines and in egregious cases could face criminal charges.\u00a0 Yet many states and far too many stores are coercing people into exactly those conditions.<\/p>\n All of the governors edicts that I’ve read contain exceptions for medical conditions. \u00a0 The dictat by\u00a0 WA state<\/a> (PDF) is typical.\u00a0 It offers an exception for<\/p>\n Persons with a medical condition, mental health condition, or disability that prevents wearing a face covering.\u00a0 This includes, but is not limited to, persons with a medical condition for whom wearing a face covering could obstruct breathing…<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
