PCR tests for Bird flu? At 45 cycles rocks would test positive.
Birds sitting on power lines to charge. Big grin. But, I bet that just gave the government dronesters an idea. And that gave me an idea. Instead of charging stations for electric vehicles, take out the batteries and put a third rail or overhead cables in all the roads. It worked subways and for street cars. A new movie remake: "A Tesla Named Desire" coming to a theater near you.
For a very brief moment in the covid period, our lab reported the number of cycles with the result. This stopped when we could not discharge patients to nursing homes to enable the next wave of admissions.
PCR test inventor Kary Mullis is on video discussing why the test does not diagnose anything, and there is the issue of the cycle count as mentioned by Mullis. No one of prominence has ever discussed this publicly. Around various Substacks and other alternative places, everyone knows about this, of course. But most people and virtually all the MSM appear to have no idea, or were ordered not to talk about it. My daughter (nurse) had to get the damn test weekly. More than once she tested positive, then got a repeat test that was negative. Yep...pandemic of testing for sure. The testing drove the narrative.
It"evolved". Initially we had to have 3 negatives in a row to discharge a patient. As you may have guessed each day was a different answer. Money being lost on new admits meant rule changes and changing from PCR to the quick testing method. Save with sick staff. Initially stay off duty for 10 days, then no fever for 3 days then heck, if you feel ok come in.
"Tell that to journalists like Studs Terkel and Edward R. Murrow. There were no mass media degrees in colleges in their day." The end of legitimate journalism and the beginning of the propaganda machine in US media can be traced directly to when journalism stopped being a blue collar job without prestige and became instead a elite university graduate career.
I agree. Then image over reporting becames the game. Pretty bubble headed news anchors (both female and male) whose best talents was reading what was put before them. Reporting on the street where all you saw was the reporter on camera, mic in hand, standing across the street from some building where they never got in and interview anyone.

You are correct about the PCR cycles.
Back in 2020, I did the math longhand (calculators don't have enough character space).
Early testing for Covid was pegged at about 35 cycles.
That, evidently was dialled back to 28, for obvious reasons.
45 would arguably indicate that Everything was infected...
Like rocks, or yams.
Careful. That kind of personal research and scientific truth will unalive you
Well, yams are pretty nasty, so I am now going to assume that they can kill me with the flu. 😉
I douse them with sugar and butter. That will kill any flu that might be sticking to them.
Butter?? well, look at Mr Money Bags!!!
Try a bit of maple syrup

Yes. It was always a pandemic of testing. It really is that straightforward.

To clarify, PCR just amplifies the amount of "testable" virus. Testing without amplification resulted in more"negatives".
I'm convinced!

Nicely done!! It made me think about the Sunday morning offerings.
