Portuguese Court Rules PCR Tests As Unreliable & Unlawful To Quarantine People
November 18, 2020

“” The court stated, the test’s reliability depends on the number of cycles used and the viral load present. Citing Jaafar et al. 2020, the court concludes that

“if someone is tested by PCR as positive when a threshold of 35 cycles or higher is used (as is the rule in most laboratories in Europe and the US), the probability that said person is infected is less than 3%, and the probability that said result is a false positive is 97%.” “”

NEW STUDY: Even A Military Enforced Lockdown Cannot Stop Coronavirus https://www.nejm.org/doi/full/10.1056/NEJMoa2029717

Here are four actual media headlines about the study that miss the point entirely: CNN: “Many military Covid-19 cases are asymptomatic, studies show” SciTech Daily: “Asymptomatic COVID-19 Transmission Revealed Through Study of 2,000 Marine Recruits” ABC: “Broad study of Marine recruits shows limits of COVID-19 symptom screening” US Navy: “Navy/Marine Corps COVID-19 Study Findings Published in New England Journal of Medicine”
