COVID testing’s value shrinks as vaccines beat back virus
RecentlyHeard ^ | 22/5/2021 | Rajesh

The fresh, more relaxed mask guidelines from federal health authorities have almost completely overshadowed another big shift in government guidance: fully vaccinated Americans will largely avoid being screened for the coronavirus.

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention announced last week that certain patients who have undergone the full course of vaccines who have no COVID-19 signs do not need to be tested for the infection, even though they have been exposed to someone who is sick.

Question: Does anyone know how easy it is to get antigen testing?

Whether someone has been vaccinated or has recovered from COVID, how easy is it to take a test that says: “You seem to be fairly well protected from COVID”?

Give blood at the Red Cross. They test your blood for Covid antibodies and post the results in you online account.

CDC has learned they can create their own data, testing will only complicate things.

Interesting:

“Senior Scientist on COVID Vaccines: ‘Insanely Reckless’

Stephanie Seneff, Ph.D., a senior research scientist at MIT, is sounding the alarm over the radically unnatural COVID-19 vaccines. Studying them over the past year, she’s uncovered research that most people haven’t seen, but will send chills down your spine.”

"COVID testing’s value...

Oxymoron.

Another BS opinion by some academic trying to get publicity.
I am 81 years old, had the 2nd shot of Moderna vaccine more than 10 weeks ago, and have experienced ZERO side effects. I did this exercise (see 40 sec video below) for 25 minutes yesterday evening and followed up by lifting weights for 10 minutes. If I can handle the vaccine at age 81, anyone younger in half way decent health should have no problems. Best news is I am booked on a cruise in September 2021, where 95% passengers & 98% of crew will have received full dose of vaccines. I am hearing no masks or any other restrictions on the ship.

Thanks for that. I’ll post results of my attempt.

Bloodworks is no longer doing antigen testing (I know from experience; at the very least they’re not sharing results, but likely not testing since no donor is asked if they’ve ever tested positive or had symptoms).

A mute point. People aren’t testing much at all. I had a test yesterday. Last time I went the line was 30 minutes long. This time I was 30 minutes late and they said “no problem” there was nobody else there.

I don’t have anything to back it up, but my impression is that these tests are extremely flakey and unreliable - both the test for active infection, and the antibody tests.

Elon Musk said he took four tests the same day just for kicks. Two said negative and two said positive.

My wife delivers babies at a hospital, and for the last year she has received a notification at least twice a month saying she was exposed to a covid patient.

We are totally convinced we had the virus early on... but the tests say we never had it.

I don’t think they are accurate - I think their purpose is to aid in the fear-mongering effort - if a lot of people test positive for antibodies that would undercut their vaccination campaign.

Just anecdotal information and the unproven suspicions of an anti-Big Government deplorable.

I watched the video. You are 81 ??! You seem to be in better shape than many people decades younger !

That’s just such an ignorant statement.

People are not genetic cookie cutters of each other.

You are fortunate that you genetics provided you with that, but people with different ones will react differently.

Just because it works for you, doesn’t mean it works for everyone. It’s myopic to even think that.

Interestingly, the core of the problem framed by the author is not the virus itself, but of Glyphosate:

It's not really the virus. It's the immune reaction to the virus that's killing you, and that's because your immune system is too weak. If you have a strong innate immune system, I believe you wouldn't even get symptoms from COVID-19.

I agree 100% with that statement (and the core of the author's writings), my own virus experience reinforcing the notion (I am still healing from decades of Glyphosate exposure but my virus fever abated in merely 72 hours, assisted by a unique and admittedly unproven treatment). But based upon my outreach for my still-unpublished book, I am in the distinct minority (reasons for which are outlined in a new, 4th volume and now the principal publications, the other 3 volumes merely daughter publications and supporting information).

Considering that the damage from Glyphosate can take decades to prompt effect - and, due to the variables inherent in chronic disease in industrialized/westernized countries such as the US, affect people very differently - it is one aspect which remains unstudied AND could - in part, perhaps, if not in-total - explain the vagaries of this disease.

Thanks for the reference (going in the book).

Plus the rationalization of maladies soon to come (but it couldn’t possibly have been the ‘vaccine’ /s).

I live in a condo community of 120 units. Most people are seniors here. We have monthly social get togethers. Almost all seniors have chosen to get the vaccines which is easy in Florida, thanks to governor DeSantis. None of the vaccinated seniors have suffered serious anything from the vaccine.

What is even worse than testing is dictator-like TRACING!!!!

Full-vaccinated people are exempt from that, too!!!!
