and he found out that the CDC had changed the threshold for PCR tests by reducing the tests from 40 cycles to 28

Isn't that supposed to be a good thing? The more cycles they run, the higher things that don't matter get amplified, IIRC.

They used the higher rate to establish covid ‘cases’ amongst the general public in the beginning, but lowered it when investigating so-called ‘rare’ breakthrough cases.
The effect is to over count initial cases and make the ‘pandemic’ look bad and then under count the already jabbed because they wanted to suppress the truth of the ineffectivity of the mRNA gene therapy.

Sure it’s a good thing. What is left out is, any PCR test, low or high cycle, is going to be confirmed by an antigen and serum test once hospitalized. Nobody spends 2 weeks in ICU based on a single PCR test.

I believe the point was, that when the State needed a drop in the numbers, they lowered the cycles. =Poof= instance drop in the number of ‘cases’. When they needed higher numbers to justify whatever tyrannical measures they had in mind, they bumped the numbers back up.

I remember distinctly when the media switched from reporting ‘deaths’ to ‘cases’. It was obviously a propaganda move to better control the narrative.
