....In a notice on its "COVID-19 vaccine breakthrough case investigation," the CDC announced its plan to study the prevalence of "breakthrough cases," meaning those who contract the virus even after having been vaccinated. Yesterday, former New York Times reporter Alex Berenson noticed this little gem in the guidance for determining those infected post-vaccination: "Clinical specimens for sequencing should have an RT-PCR Ct value ≤28."
Alas, the CDC has suddenly discovered the power of cycle thresholds on PCR testing in determining whether the positive results are real or meaningful. But here's the problem: Where is this guidance when it comes to non-vaccinated people? As Berenson points out, a standard of 28 CTs applied to the general testing regime would preclude as many as 90% of cases from being recorded, especially when the virus is in low circulation.....

Sometimes I get the feeling that I’ve already read that somewhere before...
thanks for posting, ‘Cat.

Well, if you can’t find a reduction in tested positive cases, just make one.
The duplicity in this whole vax debacle is staggering.
Nuke the chicoms and end this crap now and forever. End the viral cycle.
Isn’t this lower threshold mean to insure there will be, in the related sample, sufficient viruses to allow sequencing to determine variants (old and newly emerging)? I don’t want to spoil the conspiracy party, but facts are facts.
It’s all a conspiracy, I tell ya—everything! ;D

Oh, so only now is the CDC troubled by the spectre of scads of false positives?
Shouldst though smell a rat, seek ye its lair. Smite it bigly.
Media has already lost its credibility.
Now it is the government’s turn.

Thinking about cats...as i just saw my black and white cat LC run by my kitchen window this morning. Should I get some black spray paint and paint him all black?

The exquisite sensitivity of PCR allows for the detection of minute quantities of nucleic acid; however, this does not always correlate with the presence of live organisms. The assay will amplify nucleic acid from dead microbes as readily as from living.1
This was NEVER about public health.
60 Minutes Mike Wallace hit on Swine Flu scamdemic in 1975 is very, very interesting…
