The CDC used to define a case as a patient whose characteristic signs, symptoms, and physical examination matched a disease. Labs were only done if clinically needed. Since the pandemic, however, the move to boost case numbers is everywhere.
Instantly, a positive RT-PCR test in an asymptomatic person after a drive-through tonsillectomy became a case. The CARES Act gives thousands extra to hospitals for every positive, with a big bonus if the patients shadow is seen in an ICU. Its a classic one hand washes the other scenario between outside labs and hospitals. If you give me more positive results, I get more money, so Ill send more tests to you.
My hospitals Medical Staff President flatly denied any CARES Act benefits at our 2020 Medical Staff Extravaganza, but the incentives cant be denied. My hospital still sends coders out to demand that staff order COVID tests to get more payments. Put bluntly, theres no way to know what any test means medically if the patient isnt sick. But positives definitely mean money!
MIQE standards list eighty-five parameters that must be met in RT-PCR testing. Does every lab meet them all every time? Around the world, celebrities who test positive one day and negative the next strongly suggest that a lot of mistakes are being made. This is unsurprising since as early as 2017, the technique was well known for lack of reproducibility.
The inventor of the test stated that RT-PCR was never intended to be a diagnostic test and using it as one was scientifically illegitimate. [Its] like trying to say whether somebody has bad breath by looking at his fingerprint.
Proper testing requires checking three genetic elements, widely separated in the genome. For CDC counts and CARES Act payments, only two segments get tested, automatically increasing the number of positive tests by a lot. The lab starts the RT-PCR by doubling genetic material multiple times to make it easier to identify. In research, if its not positive by thirty-five amplification cycles,, its not positive. FDA guidance indicates that anything found up to 40 cycles is considered positive. At forty cycles a glass of water may test positive. Stopping at thirty-five would show that COVID-19 wasnt any worse than flu, if it was that bad.
Some people test positive but arent infected because Detection of viral RNA may not indicate the presence of infectious virus or that 2019-nCoV is the causative agent for clinical symptoms. These false positives range from 17% to 70%. Depending on when you test after exposure, up to 100% of negative tests are false negatives. A test with a range of +70% to -100% is meaningless. ThermoFisher emphasizes reproducibility, but RT-qPCR is the paradigm for lack of reproducibility and thats why the CDC has decertified it.
There is no pandemic. There never was. Since only 6% of COVID deaths were from only the bug, there have only been about 40,000 total, roughly equal to seasonal flu. In the early days, we didnt know how to treat it and rationally feared that the new Black Death had arrived. But by May of last year, we already knew that HCQ was probably effective in early cases. Early treatment would cause a (non)crisis to go to waste, and that could not be allowed. So very effective treatments and excellent prophylactic measures were suppressed.
Ineffective masks, social distancing, vaccine passports, lockdowns, and the like were mandated. They became part of an Orange Man Bad publicity campaign. Anthony Fauci gave President Trump awful advice following that game plan. Trumps flair for publicity boomeranged in news conferences where he trumpeted his successes, but all anyone really heard was panic porn.
Certainly, the prospect of centralizing power is intoxicating to the elect. But is that it? Are hospitals the only recipients of largess? Read More
For about twenty years, Faucis NIAID used taxpayer money to do invisible research on deadly viruses. It received unlawful patents related to a certain virus that might become worth a kings ransom. Such filthy lucre could become very attractive.
Before you start throwing rotten tomatoes and soiled work boots, please watch David Martin Ph.D. and Reiner Fuellmich tell why they believe Anthony Fauci and his cohorts were neck-deep in the COVID gain-of-function and patent process for at least the last twenty-two years. Among the key patents are some that, if they are for a naturally occurring virus, are illegal according to the Supreme Court. If theyre for an engineered virus, theyre contrary to the Biological Weapons Convention, which became effective in 1975. Martin and Fuellmich allege that the parties to this corrupt process include Anthony Fauci, Ralph Baric, Peter Daszak, Dr. Shi Zhengli (the Wuhan Bat Lady), anddrum roll, pleasenone other than Bill Gates. Dr. Martin has made available a long list of documents he contends support this claim.
These alleged conspirators have spent a considerable amount of time and effort to set themselves up to profit from a vaccine industry that would likely be given huge subsidies and immunities to respond to a coronavirus pandemic. Yes, thats what they literally war-gamed along the way. Martin and Fuellmich present strong evidence of collusion between the virus creators and vaccine manufacturers. Is it any surprise that an mRNA COVID-19 vaccine was ready for early testing within four months of the announcement of the virus?
We cannot leave this subject without asking if the vaccines actually stop infection.
No vaccine can prevent infection. Thats because you must be infected before your T-cells and antibodies (humoral immunity) can crank up.
In COVID-19, the problem is more complicated. Even if youre vaccinated, COVID aerosols still enter your lungs, where the virus attaches to pneumocytes in your air sacs (alveoli). It multiplies inside those cells, and they shed a lot of virus back into the alveoli, where you can now share it with the next person as effectively as someone whos sick. Voila! Asymptomatic transmission!
Youll also be a case at your next drive-through impalement. But you arent sick and dont get sick. You dont have a clinical case of COVID, but youll be one for the next Panic Porn Live at 6:30! Your vaccination status wont matter. At the country-level, there appears to be no discernable relationship between percentage of population fully vaccinated and new COVID-19 cases in the last 7 days.
