New policies will artificially deflate “breakthrough infections” in the vaccinated, while the old rules continue to inflate case numbers in the unvaccinated.
The US Center for Disease Control (CDC) is altering its practices of data logging and testing for “Covid19” in order to make it seem the experimental gene-therapy “vaccines” are effective at preventing the alleged disease.
They made no secret of this, announcing the policy changes on their website in late April/early May, (though naturally without admitting the fairly obvious motivation behind the change).
The trick is in their reporting of what they call “breakthrough infections” – that is people who are fully “vaccinated” against Sars-Cov-2 infection, but get infected anyway.
Essentially, Covid19 has long been shown – to those willing to pay attention – to be an entirely created pandemic narrative built on two key factors:
False-positive tests. The unreliable PCR test can be manipulated into reporting a high number of false-positives by altering the cycle threshold (CT value)
Inflated Case-count. The incredibly broad definition of “Covid case”, used all over the world, lists anyone who receives a positive test as a “Covid19 case”, even if they never experienced any symptoms.
Without these two policies, there would never have been an appreciable pandemic at all, and now the CDC has enacted two policy changes which means they no longer apply to vaccinated people.
Firstly, they are lowering their CT value when testing samples from suspected “breakthrough infections”.
From the CDC’s instructions for state health authorities on handling “possible breakthrough infections” (uploaded to their website in late April):
For cases with a known RT-PCR cycle threshold (Ct) value, submit only specimens with Ct value ≤28 to CDC for sequencing. (Sequencing is not feasible with higher Ct values.)
Throughout the pandemic, CT values in excess of 35 have been the norm, with labs around the world going into the 40s.
Essentially labs were running as many cycles as necessary to achieve a positive result, despite experts warning that this was pointless (even Fauci himself said anything over 35 cycles is meaningless).
But NOW, and only for fully vaccinated people, the CDC will only accept samples achieved from 28 cycles or fewer. That can only be a deliberate decision in order to decrease the number of “breakthrough infections” being officially recorded.
Secondly, asymptomatic or mild infections will no longer be recorded as “covid cases”.
That’s right. Even if a sample collected at the low CT value of 28 can be sequenced into the virus alleged to cause Covid19, the CDC will no longer be keeping records of breakthrough infections that don’t result in hospitalisation or death.
From their website:
As of May 1, 2021, CDC transitioned from monitoring all reported vaccine breakthrough cases to focus on identifying and investigating only hospitalized or fatal cases due to any cause. This shift will help maximize the quality of the data collected on cases of greatest clinical and public health importance. Previous case counts, which were last updated on April 26, 2021, are available for reference only and will not be updated moving forward.
Just like that, being asymptomatic – or having only minor symptoms – will no longer count as a “Covid case” but only if you’ve been vaccinated.
The CDC has put new policies in place which effectively created a tiered system of diagnosis. Meaning, from now on, unvaccinated people will find it much easier to be diagnosed with Covid19 than vaccinated people.
Consider…
Person A has not been vaccinated. They test positive for Covid using a PCR test at 40 cycles and, despite having no symptoms, they are officially a “covid case”.
Person B has been vaccinated. They test positive at 28 cycles, and spend six weeks bedridden with a high fever. Because they never went into a hospital and didn’t die they are NOT a Covid case.
Person C, who was also vaccinated, did die. After weeks in hospital with a high fever and respiratory problems. Only their positive PCR test was 29 cycles, so they’re not officially a Covid case either.
The CDC is demonstrating the beauty of having a “disease” that can appear or disappear depending on how you measure it.
To be clear: If these new policies had been the global approach to “Covid” since December 2019, there would never have been a pandemic at all.
If you apply them only to the vaccinated, but keep the old rules for the unvaccinated, the only possible result can be that the official records show “Covid” is much more prevalent among the latter than the former.
This is a policy designed to continuously inflate one number, and systematically minimise the other.
What is that if not an obvious and deliberate act of deception?
See my graphs and data? No, you're not allowed to look at the data.
Ah, SCIENCE!!!
Well that’s not “science”. Run the same test on everybody otherwise it is just data manipulation.

So, does this mean cases are not going down at all?
I was kinda hoping it was burning itself out.
I was kinda hoping it was burning itself out.
The CDC and all its lying ilk are already burned out.
Oh...and so is the “virus”.
My wife and I had long term inflammation from the second Pfizer dose, kidney failure (stage 3), blood thickening. Nobody cares, no place to report it.
IOW, the experimental biologic agent they are passing off as a vaccine is not working.
I’m sorry to hear that.
Is it any better yet?
Since you said “had” instead of “have” I was wondering.
In short the CDC continues in its capacity as a propaganda tool for the left wing Democrat Party.
1) This is very bad. This destroys the ability to measure loss of vaccine effectiveness via time and via mutants/variants. It will create differing yardsticks for the vaccinated and non vaccinated.
2) The gold standard has been and remains Excess Deaths. A solid 27% additional age 65+ deaths took place last year compared to a pre Covid year. Were some of those deaths because people didn’t go to see the doc because they were afraid of infection? Maybe. Or some other peripheral aspect of the pandemic. The official number was 21% Covid deaths. 6% something else.
3) The total Excess Death amount escapes the issue of false positives and bogus definitions the CDC apparently is now applying. Dead is dead. All causes. Note, btw, that yeah, some people didn’t see a doc because they were afraid to get infected in the waiting room. But also some people didn’t die because there was less traffic on the roads last year.
Well, this just can’t be.
I’ve been assured by discostu that VAERS and other systems are as pure as the wind driven snow.
Please don’t read this, Stu. Or respond. Thanks.
“ My wife and I had long term inflammation from the second Pfizer dose, kidney failure (stage 3), blood thickening. Nobody cares, no place to report it.”
Yikes.
So sorry to hear that.
By any chance did you have the Kung Flu before getting vaccinated?
It was all an elaborate deception so as to create panic and fear. They reported false numbers to make it seem worse. The goal was blame it on Trump.
Now, they want to spread the fiction that the vaccine is working and give sleepy joe the credit.
The disease doesn’t spread as much during good weather. The good weather is the reason why cases are down. Monitor the situation in September/October when it is no longer summer.
How soon will there be extremely tough quarantine laws for people who test positive and have not been vaccinated. If people who have been vaccinated begin to show very serious long-term side effects, a tyrannical government will just bear down even harder instead of saying how grateful they are that a sizable percentage of the population did not take a harmful vaccine. I hope that the vaccines do not have any long-term dangerous negative affects but they might.
last June, if the PCR test numbers and protocols for the vaccinated had been put into affect even including people with symptoms instead of just hospitalization and deaths, the pandemic probably would’ve been soon over.
It was important to the left to have a candidate unable to campaign and a propaganda media who framed everything about that candidate in a way that half the country lived in fear while believing that he was “keeping us safe” in order to gain power for the Dems. Do they even care that they are leading us to communism?
