COVID PCR Test Useless Says Report By 22 Highly Qualified Specialists
Principia Scientific [UK] ^ | 8 December 2021

Posted on 12/08/2021 6:19:23 PM PST by Fractal Trader

New study exposes no fewer than 10 grave flaws with the COVID19 PCR test. Scientists demand the immediate retraction of the original 2019 Eurosurveillance paper which has been widely used to justify PCR testing as a diagnostic tool for the virus.

The full paper may be accessed at www.researchgate.net/publication

Extracts of the study are shown below:

This extensive review report has been officially submitted to Eurosurveillance editorial board on 27th November 2020 via their submission-portal, enclosed to this review report is a retraction request letter, signed by all the main & co-authors. First and last listed names are the first and second main authors. All names in between are co-authors. More details can be found at https://cormandrostenreview.com/

ABSTRACT In the publication entitled “Detection of 2019 novel coronavirus (2019-nCoV) by real-time RT-PCR” (Eurosurveillance 25(8) 2020) the authors present a diagnostic workflow and RT-qPCR protocol for detection and diagnostics of 2019-nCoV (now known as SARS-CoV-2), which they claim to be validated, as well as being a robust diagnostic methodology for use in public-health laboratory

settings.

In light of all the consequences resulting from this very publication for societies worldwide, a group of independent researchers performed a point-by-point review of the aforesaid publication in which 1) all components of the presented test design were cross checked, 2) the RT-qPCR protocol- recommendations were assesses w.r.t. good laboratory practice, and 3) parameters examined

against relevant scientific literature covering the field.

The published RT-qPCR protocol for detection and diagnostics of 2019-nCoV and the manuscript suffer from numerous technical and scientific errors, including insufficient primer design, a problematic and insufficient RT-qPCR protocol, and the absence of an accurate test validation.

Neither the presented test nor the manuscript itself fulfils the requirements for an acceptable scientific publication. Further, serious conflicts of interest of the authors are not mentioned. Finally,

the very short timescale between submission and acceptance of the publication (24 hours) signifies that a systematic peer review process was either not performed here, or of problematic poor quality.

We provide compelling evidence of several scientific inadequacies, errors and flaws. Considering the scientific and methodological blemishes presented here, we are confident that the editorial board of Eurosurveillance has no other choice but to retract the publication.

11. PCR tests were not designed to diagnose illness. The Reverse-Transcriptase Polymerase Chain Reaction (RT-PCR) test is described in the media as the “gold standard” for Covid diagnosis. But the Nobel Prize-winning inventor of the process never intended it to be used as a diagnostic tool, and said so publicly:

Without the PCR test, the justification for every single tyrannical policy decision by governments disappears.

They are going to keep using the PCR test - no matter what.

The C flu hoax is coming to an end. Everything from the testing to deaths to the jabs is one big hoax. The only thing not a hoax is the illnesses and deaths from the jab.

I have been testing twice a week for several months (company rule).

All negative until I started feeling ill one day, and the PCR test I took that day came back positive.

An antigen test I took the next day came back negative.

Then I got many of the symptoms of COVID for a few days then felt better.

The PCR tests I took for another two weeks came back positive.

Then they started being negative and have remained so consistently for a couple months, while I feel fine.

So in my experience the PCR tests are pretty accurate — unless they coincidentally went positive exactly at the same time I came down with a very COVID-like flu.

Did you test your coffee and your cola?

Seriously—they have shown “positives”.

The World Health Organization aka WHO, denounced the PCR test January 20, 2021...Orange Man gone.

PCR test no longer needed.

I read the PCR test will be scrapped at the end of this year. Any idea what, if anything will replace it?

The PCR test can be as inaccurate as the lab doing the test chooses. It all depends on the number of amplification cycles needed before the threshold was reached that turned the sample positive. If your company used 24 or fewer cycles plus you had symptoms, it is a good indication that you were infected with Covid-19.

IMHO there are two major reasons to distrust anything that the government tells us about the pandemic. The first is their not sharing with each tested person the number of amplification cycles used in their test and then publishing statistics about this. The second is allowing the southern border to be open and sending hundreds of thousands of untested, unvaccinated invaders all over the country.

“So in my experience the PCR tests are pretty accurate”

one BIG problem is that the PCR test cannot distinguish COVID from influenza, namely the PCR test shows influenza as a positive COVID case, which is why the CDC is withdrawing the EUA for the PCR test ... CLEARLY, the COVID case totals are compete bullshit because no one knows how many of those “cases” are actually influenza ... of course, a high number of false COVID cases benefited the fascist effort to nuke Trump, whereas a high false case count is negative for dementia joe ... with the new tests after 12/21/2021, the case count should reduce dramatically, allowing dementia joe to declare victory ...

Chicken bones and crow feathers would work better.

Just a little voodoo magic, eh?
