This is not true; just about any relatively non-toxic inert gas other than CO2 can take the place of oxygen without any significant response. We do have a hypoxic respiratory drive, but it is exceptionally weak, and unconsciousness will occur before any noticable distress is noted. The hypercapnia alarm response we're all familiar with is tied to carbon dioxide levels, not oxygen.
