Data From New Study CONFIRMS That 80% Of Covid Test "Positives" Are Likely MEANINGLESS...
Oxford Academic ^ | 12/03/20 | T Jefferson, E A Spencer, J Brassey, C Heneghan

A systematic review published 12/3/20 by the Oxford U has confirmed that cov2 rtPCR testing patient sample cycle thresholds >30 are associated with NEGATIVE viral cultures. What does that mean? It means that roughly 80% of all "positives" being reported in your state/region are likely non-infectious and clinically meaningless. If health authoritarians changed the testing standard by lowering the cycle threshold (CT) cutoff to less than "30", cases would magically drop 80+ percent.

Excerpt from the study:

..."Complete live viruses are necessary for transmission, not the fragments identified by PCR. Those with high cycle threshold are unlikely to have infectious potential"...

As the truth surrounding PCR testing continues to surface, more people will begin to understand just how local Government and the CDC have ignored the real science, and have continued to use sweeping, high cycle PCR testing as means to justify lockdowns and restrictions.

Here, the genius inventor of the PCR test explains that the “test” can find anything in anybody if you run enough cycles.

Someone pass this on to all the Governors, mayors, City Councils, town managers, etc. who are trying to force 330 million people to wear face diapers.

Follow the science?? It’s pretty obvious the testing is flawed. People are getting sick and yes...even dying...but it’s still a tiny percentage and likely more deaths are in weakened persons.

I’ve been ranting about the utter fraud of using just positive PCR test results to define “cases” for months now.

Hell, even the New York Times, of all places, published an article back in August about this very thing.

https://www.nytimes.com/2020/08/29/health/coronavirus-testing.html?fbclid=IwAR1RLqwDodKJoQjHNHma59_zlD4VY9MNZWgTLM00w_bOGw8GcEiIDUgyUpk

Thank God my state - Florida - is about to start requiring labs to report cycle counts to the DPH on positive tests.

Why do you think it’s so hard, if not impossible, to get Ct info from state, county, municipal labs?

That info should have always been readily available from the get-go.

It wasn’t provided for a reason.

WuFlu has NEVER been about public health.

This wasn’t a flaw. It was a feature. That range made it possible to count asymptomatic and even just the exposed as cases.

This was NEVER about public health.

Also, look at the way public labs have taken over testing.

That’s done in part so nobody can get Ct info on the tests being run.

Try it in your neck of the woods. Ask. Bet they refuse to provide the info.

In other words, today's more sensitive testing is essentially depicting Herd Immunity.

No. The testing is essentially depicting contaminated, but not necessarily those with a history of being infected.

If the virus in its early days was circulating in December in America there were no reports of overrun ICUs in January or February icu capacity looked about normal and severity of disease was somewhat higher

The point is maybe we need to consider that we screwed the pooch on medicine by panicking and government screwed the pooch by locking down. There were two months of the pandemic circulating where nothing was amiss that should have been a total fiasco. It was not.

There is a lesson there if rational people want to learn it.

I've been saying all along that this testing is for no other reason than to provide stats....and this is how they control stats.

No different than the climate chnage cr**.

Thousands die from the flu each year. No one says boo. But you can bet that from here on in, we will be ORDERED to wear masks as soon as flu season runs around.

“Someone pass this on to all the Governors, mayors, City Councils, town managers, etc. who are trying to force 330 million people to wear face diapers.”

Sad that few, if any of the above have the background to understand anything save for graft, corruption, the most mundane sentences, and words of less than two syllables.

Yeah I read that as well.

https://justthenews.com/politics-policy/coronavirus/florida-requiring-labs-report-critical-cycle-threshold-covid-19-tests

Should have done months ago but that would have undermined the case-demic.

It throws a monkey wrench in any Biden attempt to quietly turn the CT level down and the cases go way down. Voila miracle Joe has saved you all.

I have read 25 cycles is the number to use. There are locations using 32 cycles which as the article points out pick up the smallest amount of Covid-19 trash which does not cause infection. The question then becomes who benefits from a higher false positive result? MMMM..... who would benefit Cuomo? Who would benefit Newsom? Who would benefit Whitmer? Who would benefit Nancy?

Said it ain’t so Joe!

Okay, if this is correct then the mortality rate from Covid will be much higher for those who actually get the virus.
And how does this square with antibody tests that indicate the virus is more widespread than the PCR and antigen tests show.
