To extrapolate: Then the deaths that are attributed to COVID-19 based on the PCR test are also inflated?

I thought he said 25 times. Many docs are saying 24.

Each cycle doubles Covid fragments, any Covid, not just Covid 19. The Covid virus is pretty common, (think common cold) so many false positives and it should be followed up with cultures.

Was Covid used to steal this election? Think so. Was it manufactured to steal this election? Don’t know.

Pcr is used for many viruses historically, hiv, hep c. Etc. In fact viral amplification was common well before baterial. Bacterial id has been most recent due to its cost prohibitive annd upfront manual set up. I have ran labs since i was 17.
Having said that.. i would never allow myself or family to get a pcr test, if there is a more statically true method available.
All tests balance two outcomes.. sensitivity and specificity. It is a teeter totter.. when one increases the other decreases... okay not exactly to the same degree. But one is always sacrificed for the other.
And for petes sake.. dont let your dr office run your labs. I have consulted for them and they just cannot ensure your results are accurate or belong to you. They dont label, time or perform testing to their highest standards.
Even the best test in that setting is a roll of the dice. /rant.

And i thot of this question after hearing that the death rate is about the same as prior years. Can the testers do 60 cycles and get a 100% reading from everyone who dies? Just to collect the extra money? Create a scare?

A PCR test is used to diagnose symptoms, not to confirm a particular active infection.

You go to the doc with fever, coughing, soreness. Lots of things can cause that, so they take a sample and run a PCR to see what particular bacterial infection, Rhinovirus, RSV, Coronavirus, HIV, influenza, and hundreds of others, that you have. The one our pediatrician used on our kid a couple times when he was sick is designed to find something like 250 different ones. It’s to see what you might have in you, to narrow down the cause of what’s ailing you.

A PCR test is NOT useful to see if you have something despite having little to no symptoms. You have inactive fragments of most stuff you were sick with for a while after you were sick. You have a bunch of stuff in you, but not enough to make you sick or infectious. The PCR will find those if you loop the test long enough, even though you aren’t actually sick with anything!

The Covid virus is pretty common, (think common cold) so many false positives and it should be followed up with cultures.

That depends on what DNA fragments are present in your system, and what the techs are looking for. All coronaviri share a certain amount of DNA, of course, so many of the fragments from a common cold will test "positive" for ChinaVirus because you aren't looking exact enough. BUT, if they are specifically looking for the DNA that's unique to the ChinaVirus, then no, other colds will not be positive for it. But, then the hospital won't get bonus helicopter $$$, so why bother with negative results?

I prefer Steely Dan’s “Chain Lightning” featuring Rick Derringer’s hot solo guitar.

He grew up just up the road from me as Rick Zehringer and teen leader of The McCoys before heading to LA and changing name to Derringer.

“I've read where you MUST ask for the Cycle Threshold used in your test.”

There are 2 main testing labs involved Quest and Labcorp.

Quest uses 50 cycles Labcorp uses 40 cycles. At that rate the tires on my truck would come back positive.

Labcorp

https://files.labcorp.com/labcorp-d8/2020-04/LabCorp-COVID-EUAsum3.pdf

Quest
https://www.fda.gov/media/136231/download

“Stage 3: 95ºC for 15 sec; 55ºC for 35 sec; 50 cycles.”

Search for 50 cycles on the Quest pdf.

The PCR test has been ruled unreliable in Portugal

https://off-guardian.org/2020/11/20/portuguese-court-rules-pcr-tests-unreliable-quarantines-unlawful/

” In their ruling, judges Margarida Ramos de Almeida and Ana Paramés referred to several scientific studies. Most notably this study by Jaafar et al., which found that – when running PCR tests with 35 cycles or more – the accuracy dropped to 3%, meaning up to 97% of positive results could be false positives.

The ruling goes on to conclude that, based on the science they read, any PCR test using over 25 cycles is totally unreliable. “

Here is the original ruling translated from Portuguese. Funny how this is never been reported on in the west

covid was a tactic employed to turn people against Trump

it backfired on them big time

all that was left was to cheat,

China and deep state failed with covid

Xhina and deep state then went to manipulate the election by fraud means

but they were extremely sloppy

dominion, who owns it, the electronic fingerprints, video cameras, people coming forward, even mob bosses, thrown away ballots found

I think you and I are of the same mind set.

The question is who will prevail?
