The tests we are using are being run at cycle rates of 37-40. Some PCR tests using these high cycle rates are not picking up live virus, but only minute virus particles. This creates false positives and more "cases" that are not real cases.
Dr. Fauci admitted this in an interview on "This Week in Virology" in July, stating that any test over cycle rate 35 is not finding live infectious virus, just virus particles.
The New York Times reported in August that in their study of testing in Nevada, Massachusetts, and New York up to 90% of the tests may have been false positives detecting barely any virus.
The WHO put out a bulletin 3 weeks ago warning that the PCR test for COVID-19 should be run at the proper cycle rate to get a true positive. Why warn the world in January 2021 after almost a year of pandemic? In an independent review of European testing problems, it was stated by the scientists "If someone is tested by PCR as positive above 35 cycles(as is the case in most laboratories in Europe and the United States) the probability that said person is actually infected is less than 3%, the probability that said result is false positive is 97%".
Florida is the first state as of December 3, 2020 to mandate that the lab performing the PCR test report how many amplification cycles were used as a way curb false positives. Perhaps one reason Florida is now perceived to be doing well is because they are getting more accurate test results.
Then there is stuff like this:
I take no Rona info seriously any more. As far as I’m concerned, it doesn’t exist.
Just this morning the local news was reporting on the virus.
One bit of information was number of deaths. But no indication if it was by week, month, or year.
This disinformation campaign is pure propaganda. Create a false narrative to drive the agenda. Crash the economy to steal an election.
December of 2019 I jokingly asked a coworker what the heck could the democRATS possibly do to beat Trump. They had nothing.
Now it’s obvious to anyone with a functional brain what they did.
Dr. Siler is writing like public health is the goal. It isn’t. High false positive rates are necessary to create panic. They try to balance it out by creating false death rates, but the high false positive rate makes it difficult.
The virus is somewhat dangerous for old people and fat people. Our population has a lot of fat and/or old people. Some honesty would go a long way to saving lives AND saving our society. Meanwhile, more lockdowns, more mask mandates, more mandatory vaccines (really think one is all there will be?), more criminalizing of gatherings, more small businesses shutting down, more wealth being transferred to billionaires, more drug abuse, more suicide; that’s what we will get. It’s by design.
Waiting for the FR scientists to inform us otherwise
Idiots
You are being lied to and manipulated
This is costing people their livelihoods and relationships
As I wrote earlier, these COVID stats are bogus; if the same person gets checked five times for COVID and has it without symptoms the hospital records five cases.
“due to false positives”
The false numbers are not all due to “false positives”. You don’t have basically zero seasonal flu deaths in the same statistics because you are getting false positives on COVID tests. You get them because you are dishonestly categorizing every respiratory illness death as “COVID-related”. It is intentional fraud, not sloppiness.
That was the whole intent of the PCR test! Create false positives to drive the Liberal narrative. It wasn’t a mistake ffs!
Keep them scared so you can control tehm.
