These “cases” have successfully incited fear resulting in malleable populations ready to accept any rule, restriction, or intervention proposed to them in order to limit these cases and protect them from a virus.
Yet the PCR does not detect the SARS—COV-2 virus and positive test results are simply not cases. The realisation of this fact should have stopped all belief and discussion related to the “pandemic” hoax, from variants to vaccines.
The article below has been authored by a Biomedical Scientist explains how the PCR scam commenced and why the PCR is “scientifically worthless.”
The PCR Scam: PCR Does Not Detect SARS-CoV-2.- By a Biomedical Scientist
On January 23, 2020, the scientific journal Eurosurveillance, published a study by Dr. Christian Drosten et al claiming to have developed the first test for detecting infection with a novel coronavirus first identified just days before in the Chinese city of Wuhan. Drosten is the German governments’ chief scientific advisor for covid, Germany’s de facto “Anthony Fauci”. The Drosten paper was titled, “Detection of 2019 novel coronavirus (2019-nCoV) by real-time RT-PCR”.
This paper was immediately endorsed by the corrupt Director General of the WHO, Tedros Adhanom, the first non-medical doctor to head the WHO. Since then, the Drosten test for the “virus” (Real-Time-Polymerase Chain Reaction or RT-PCR test) has spread via the WHO worldwide as the most used test protocol to determine if a person might have covid-19, the alleged illness caused by the alleged virus SARS-CoV2.
When this paper was written there was a total of just 6 deaths attributed to the Wuhan “coronavirus” in the whole world. Why did Drosten et al assume a major challenge for public health laboratories when there was no evidence at that time to indicate that the outbreak was going to become a widespread pandemic?
On November 27, 2020, a group of international virologists, microbiologists, and other scientists published an appeal for Eurosurveillance to retract the Drosten paper. This appeal is a damning external peer review, from twenty-three leading scientists, including scientists who have patents related to PCR, DNA isolation, sequencing, and a former Pfizer chief scientist. To date Eurosurveillance has refused to retract this paper and has issued an unsatisfactory non-explanation for not doing so.
Drosten et al have serious conflicts of interest which initially were not mentioned. Two of the authors of the paper (Christian Drosten and Chantal Reusken) are members of the editorial board of Eurosurveillance. Another author Olfert Landt is CEO of TIB-Molbiol, and Marco Kaiser is senior researcher at GenExpress and serves as scientific advisor for TIB-Molbiol.
TIB-Molbiol was the first company to produce PCR kits based on the protocol published in the Corman-Drosten paper, they distributed these PCR test kits before the publication was even submitted. Victor Corman and Christian Drosten failed to mention their affiliation with the commercial test laboratory “Labor Berlin”. Both authors are responsible for viral diagnostics at this laboratory and the company operates in the field of RT-PCR testing.
The very short time span between submission of the manuscript and acceptance for publication (24 hours) indicates that a systematic peer review process was either not performed or was of poor quality. The subsequent analysis of the original paper constitutes a genuine peer review and accuses Drosten et al of scientific incompetence, identifying at least ten different fatal flaws in their test protocol.
An accurate test for a “virus” isn’t possible without first knowing the components of the virus you want to detect and these components can’t be known without having isolated/purified that virus beforehand. The authors of several articles that supposedly describe the isolation of SARS-CoV-2 have admitted when specifically asked that they have not purified the “virus” The virus was not isolated in the true dictionary or true scientific sense of the word. Virologists have disingenuously redefined this word.
Detractors often claim that it is impossible to really isolate a virus because they have to be cultured in cells. That is simply not true. Biologists who study viruses that infect bacterial cells (bacteriophages) routinely isolate those viruses in the true sense of the word. Why can’t virologists studying “viruses” they claim cause human disease use the same techniques?
Facebook “fact checkers” refute the claim that SARS-CoV-2 has not been purified by referring to one study in which better purification than usual was achieved using a sucrose density centrifugation step:
“A preparation of a virus can’t get much more ‘purified’ than this.”
It is not good enough to perform proper purification just to obtain some nice pictures (cryo-electron tomography)of what you assume to be a virus. This purification should be standard procedure for all researchers for all their experiments. This is especially true when it comes to genomic sequencing (the basis for the PCR test), protein antigen determination (the basis for lateral flow tests), and virulence studies (the basis for draconian social measures). Unfortunately, this is not standard procedure in the world of virology.
The identification of unknown pathogens using molecular genetic tools alone is impossible because the target sequence is not known, and so PCR-specific initiators (primers) cannot be properly designed. The supposed novel Coronavirus SARS-CoV-2 “genome” is based on in silico (theoretical computer generated) sequences, uploaded by a laboratory in China and not on isolated SARS-CoV-2 particles.
There has been much speculation about gain of function research outsourced to the Chinese, but this ignores the fact that there is no highly virulent viral pandemic. It was not necessary to release a real pathogen in order to impose draconian social measures, all that was necessary was to upload a genetic sequence of dubious origin to the internet.
What was considered to be viral RNA was extracted from complex mixtures without any proof that the RNA belongs to a virus. “Scientists” then speculate about mutations, recombinations, genotypes, molecular evolution, strains, new variants, and other jargon that conveys the false idea that a “virus” is being studied.
Restriction enzymes are added that cut the nucleic acid molecules at certain locations and always by the same length for a given sequence. If many fragments of genetic sequence of the same or very similar size are generated it is assumed to belong to a virus rather than the host genome which it is assumed would generate random cuts and fragments of variable size.
This unscientific assumption does not take into account that there are “virus-like particles”, “retrovirus-like particles”, “endogenous retroviruses”, “exosomes”, “extracellular” particles and mitochondrial DNA that can produce many copies of the same sequence. There are numerous types of particle that possess the same characteristics as “viruses” and so can produce large numbers of identical copies when cut by enzymes.
Computer programs are used that make predictions on how genetic sequences should be combined. The sequences are manually assembled and edited to produce a final sequence of the “viral genome”.
The genetic sequences used in PCR tests to supposedly specifically detect SARS-CoV-2 are present in dozens of sequences in the human genome and in the genomes of about a hundred microbes. The RT-PCR does not detect the so-called SARS-CoV-2 virus, but rather fragments of human RNA and those of numerous microbes. These fragments are likely to be present in respiratory samples taken from healthy people.
Jesus Garcia Blanca used the Basic Local Alignment Search Tool (BLAST), a sequence alignment search tool that allows a given sequence to be compared with all known sequences stored in the NIH databases (https://blast.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov) to investigate the specificity of the SARS-CoV2 PCR tests.
This is an essential step routinely performed by any competent scientist when designing a PCR test. This ensures that the test is specific and does not generate false positive results due to cross-reaction with other sequences that might also be present in the samples being tested.
Garcia Blanca discovered that one PCR primer that is supposed to be specific to SARS-CoV-2 actually corresponds to 74 fragments of the human genome and a hundred microbial fragments as well.
This is shocking but unsurprising because the now notorious Cormen-Drosten PCR paper formed the basis for these tests and was plagued by poor primer design, a problematic and insufficient RT-PCR protocol, and no proper test validation.
The test and the manuscript fail to meet the standards for an acceptable scientific publication. The scientific inadequacies, errors, flaws, major scientific and methodological problems invalidate both the paper and the test responsible for locking down the world.
Drosten et al provided confusing unspecified primer and probe sequences which is very unusual. Six unspecified positions could easily result in the design of several different alternative primer sequences which do not detect the supposed SARS-CoV-2 sequence. These unspecified positions should have been designed unambiguously.
The paper also failed to define what constitutes a positive or negative test result. An SOP (Standard Operating Procedure) should include a validated and fixed number of PCR cycles after which a sample is deemed positive or negative. Above 35 cycles, rapidly increasing numbers of false positives are to be expected. Drosten et al and the WHO recommended 45 cycles. A PCR result using 45 cycles is scientifically and diagnostically meaningless. If a maximum of 35 cycles was specified, the number of “coronavirus” positives would be less than 3% of the reported number.
The Corman-Drosten paper describes 3 primer pairs, but these primers only cover roughly half of the “viral genome” rather than spanning the entire “genome”. This is another factor that decreases specificity for detection of supposed intact virus RNA and increases the chances of false positive test results. The positioning of the targets in the region of the viral genome that is most heavily and variably transcribed is another weakness of the protocol.
These primer design errors are inexcusable as there are software packages available to help design RT-PCR tests that work correctly. All a scientist has to do is copy and paste the target sequence into the software and the software will come up with a list of suggested primer and probe combinations. The software calculates all of the relevant parameters to ensure that the PCR will work properly without producing spurious results.
Considering the serious design errors, the amplified PCR products could be anything (and probably are) which perhaps explains why proper validation of positive results was not done in the Cormen-Drosten paper. The PCR products resulting from the Drosten method have not been validated at the molecular level which is another major error in the protocol. The PCR product should be run on a gel to ensure it is the expected size and this product should be sequenced to confirm its exact identity.
No clear SOP was provided to unequivocally specify the relevant parameters, so that all laboratories are able to set up the exact same test conditions. A validated universal SOP is essential, because it enables the comparison of data within and between countries. It points to flawed science that such an SOP does not exist. Laboratories are therefore free to perform the test as they consider appropriate, resulting in an enormous amount of variation.
Dr Stephen Bustin, one of the world’s leading experts on PCR, says that under certain conditions anyone can test positive. He considers both the arbitrariness of establishing criteria for results and the choice of the number of cycles to be nonsense because they can lead to anyone testing positive.
An appeals court in Lisbon, Portugal ruled on 11 November 2020 that the Drosten PCR test endorsed by the WHO is not valid to detect coronavirus infection and that it is no basis to order nationwide or partial lockdowns. This ruling should obviously apply to all nations.
“Doctor” Christian Drosten and officials at Frankfurt’s Goethe University, where he claims to have received his medical doctorate in 2003, are accused of degree fraud. Drosten will now probably face court charges for holding a fraudulent doctoral title. That should be the least of his worries.
The PCR test is scientifically worthless and all “positive” results obtained should be invalidated. Widespread use of this completely inaccurate test has resulted in global lockdowns as well as economic and social catastrophe.

So before we all go and downplay the effectiveness of the PCR test, let's get some more real world information from folks who've been there, like me.

The PCR is useless for many reasons. You had a 50/50 chance of testing positive and I'm glad you lucked out.

At the most basic level, it was not designed to determine live viral load. It can falsely flag material from an infection a month ago, or from an exposure to the virus successfully defeated without ever becoming ill. There are some CDC links which admit it can falsely identify prior illnesses in people who are now healthy. Even if the reference strand of genetic material in the Covid Test were the correct sequence of nucleotides (and in the Covid PCR, it is not)is not unique to Covid, but is found, or has been tested and found in Paw Paw fruit, Kiwi, 'Spanish Water', Coca Cola and orange juice, among other questionable locations.

I was hospitalized 5-11 Feb, as I mentioned in my first post, and trust me, it was not fun. But what makes this episode in my life frustrating is that I have to submit to weekly testing using a test that is supposed to give instant, accurate results.
For over 5 weeks it kept telling me I was negative for Covid, when in reality I was probably positive in, at least, the 2 weeks leading up to my eventual positive result using the PCR test. If I had known earlier, chances are I could have received the help I needed earlier. My doc said I dangerously close to suffering permanent lung damage. If it wasn't for using my CPAP machine along with the meds they gave me, the result could have been far worse.
Now others who work with and around me are starting to pop positive for Covid, using the PCR tests, when they also were testing negative using the rapid test, and many of those have been displaying the same symptoms I had in the weeks leading up my positive test.
That's why I say, let's not totally dismiss the accuracy of the PCR tests. They are saving lives here locally, mine included.
I am glad you pulled through. We don’t know if you had covid or something else. If your symptoms were uniquely COvid, then they should have used them to diagnose and treat you because the PCR test has a 95% + false positive rate and an unknown (but signifcant) false negative and whatever it is flagging as ‘Covid’ is some unknown material which can be biologic or chemical (Fruit, COca Cola).
The PCR is not saving lives - it’s hit or miss and so many have been flagged false positive when they aren’t, and many false negative when they aren’t.
The results for PCR have somehow been sent to genetics labs in locations controlled by the CCP.
I’m completely and absolutely serious when I say the PCR is not a valid test, is not useful. You are one of the lucky ones - it happened to test positive,but why didn’t the docs just treat you based on symptoms unique to Covid? Medical control of the Planned-demic.
hi world. i don’t think if you read through my comments that i disagree at all with you. PCR like any medical, scientific method of measurement is subject to all types of error. and it has been abused to the maximum during the last two years by many bad actors especially at the CDC but all over the world.
my disagreement is with the post which characterizes PCR in general as a “scam.”
that’s utterly false. PCR is real, and has been use for many years in a variety research and medical lab settings, even in medical diagnosis when used as i have said in other comments with ransomnote.
i based this statement on facts alone. this is personal knowledge i have because i have the advantage of being related to a trained reference bench tech who also happens to be a medical informatics it professional for the hospital and medical school one of the best reference labs on the planet.
for example. fact: their home brew PCR test (developed in house because the CDC’s failed their vetting process miserably), with the virus sequenced by scientists at the medical school, was vetted and then used in the hospital in March/April of 2020 and later on the entire staff of the medical school and hospital. it eliminated about 9 out of ten respiratory cases as non-covid. that is a cold hard fact. it called positives in roughly 10 out 5000 front line medical personel when deployed as a screening test for them. again. fact. the practical usefulness of their PCR test proved out in the real world of medicine.
thus, it was very successful as an early stage diagnostic. those are facts, i can personally vouch for. this is for the consumption of interested readers. i don’t think i disagree with you at all about the misuse and overuse of PCR by bad actors in this sorry episode.
anyway. just wanted to respond to you, as a courtesy. think i made these same points already in the thread. as with ransomnote you have the last word if you want. my point is made. PCR is not a “scam.”
My point rests on the January 2020 RT-PCR test coded in Berlin, Germany, by Christian Drosten and supported by the so-called Corman-Drosten research, and created using Chinese data from before that time. That particular test was created a month before the EU adopted it as a standard, and two months before the pandemic was officially declared. Who designs a test for a pandemic before it is declared?
I agree with you that "it has been abused to the maximum during the last two years by many bad actors especially at the CDC but all over the world."
Great documentary out...
A year ago, they were heroes....now, due to absurd mandates, they’re considered zeroes, by their city/other employers.
We've agreed on too many things to let this get between us. I understand your viewpoint, but in these cases that narrative is wrong. The PCR test is detecting Covid and thereby helping to save lives.
My sister was recently sick with CoVid symptoms. She was very ill but refused to go to a hospital. She had 2 negative at home tests, and never went to get a PCR test. She is still feeling the effects of her illness. It’s hard to say whether or not she contracted a different virus, or CoVid. She says she was so miserable but she has a fear of hospitals after a terrible bout with C. diff about 20 years ago. She still has her cough and little energy. I guess we will never know what she really had.
I too don't like hospitals but I live alone and I knew that if I waited it would get worse. My doctor drove that point home when he said if I had waited and Covid scarred my lungs I might not be here now, or on a waiting list for a lung transplant. Scary times, and this could take months to completely recover from.
