Great job clearing up the confusion between traditional false positives and PCR "over-sensitive positives". These tests ARE finding tiny bits of the virus, but generally only fragments that aren't actually able to replicate.
Here you can watch Fauci explain this -- LAST JULY.
I've been doing some dives again into PCR testing because I am talking with someone on twitter who likes to think the PCR test is the bees knees when it comes to the amount of Covid deaths there were.
Well, in regards to PCR testing, they are still using it as a diagnostic tool to determine Covid positivity. I think a story out of Alberta paints the propaganda narrative. 12% of in patient hospital beds are filled with people who are Covid positive acquired while at the hospital. That's the narrative. The truth (speculation on my part) is that it wasn't the Covid that was necessarily acquired at the hospital, but the Covid positive test by PCR. I didn't go into cycle thresholds...but rather said there are a lot of false positives...meaning that these people don't actually have Covid. They might have at some point had it, but now it is as Fauci states...genetic fragments.
Also in the above example pre Covid there was required "two factor authentication" for proof of infection. One being the test, and the other being a medley of symptoms.
El Gato Malo has it right here. Regardless of the testing, all this nonsense was predicated on asymptomatic spread. We are all Schrödingers Covid Cats both being the victim and bare faced plague-spreaders of a disease that spreads silently among the masses. There was never any evidence of this. And any amount of due diligence in thinking would show that far more likely was simply being in incidental locations where symptomatic people had been where aerosolized particles are in the air.
Most people you speak with on Twitter account for their infection by either a time they didn't wear a mask or came in contact with someone who was "coughing in their face and infecting them."
Thanks for posting this video. Fow-chee at his worst. Except maybe the times he admitted to lying (about masks and herd immunity thresholds) to avoid admitting he was flat-out wrong (about everything else).
Try entering Australia some time - even Australians can't get in - the queue is 31,000 citizens long apparently and even if you get in, you're whisked away to an authorised quarantine gaol for 14 nights; or living in Denmark where proof of identity plus one of (a) proof of vaccination or (b) a (-)ve PCR test <= 72 hours old is now required for a haircut and a thousand other things.
We, the West, are way past the inflection point of no return and I suspect the CCP is doing the "gloat and grin"
Wow, there is really a queue of 31,000 Australians trying to reenter their own country??? There has been near zero coverage in America of the lockdowns in Melbourne. It would have really opened eyes as to what lies ahead.
That was actually on the news last night, as I wasn't aware of the number, just the existence of the queue. I spent 4 months trying to get on a plane and 2 weeks in a luxury gaol cell upon arrival. Now, my state is under partial lockdown due to the appearance of a handfull of cases.
Imagine a time before the internet where governments mandating exactly what one can and cannot do at such a detailed level was not possible. Our technology is a two edged sword, and has enabled "tyranny for our own good" under the guise of "keeping us safe".
I want to throw up listening to this shit every day.
But life is worse in Denmark where the vaccine passport is now a reality, so I should be happy, right? I am not happy, I am livid at what these nefarious people have done to humanity in general and me in particular!
I live in Quebec, Canada, and the current situation is like that of a victim of Stockholm Syndrome with Trudeau and his ilk being the kidnappers of our rights and freedoms. This is not the Canada in WW1 or WW2, most people are weak and docile. They've lost their critical thinking. Me and friends of mine are still sane but we've determined that because our backgrounds are usually from Eastern Europe, where we know what totalitarianism looks like, or from broken/hard households, where people know what abuse looks like. I need to get out of here.
I actually know people in France who think lockdowns worked. Then when you say why are they locking down again? They say cuz we didn't lock down long enough.
I suspect you may be familiar because of the way you voiced it, but "your rights carry an asterisk stating “ *unless the state decides something else is more important” is exactly how the Canadian Charter of Rights is written.
The "*" == "Section 33 Paragraph 1".
"The Parliament of Canada, a provincial legislature or a territorial legislature may declare that one of its laws or part of a law applies temporarily ("notwithstanding") countermanding sections of the Charter, thereby nullifying any judicial review by overriding the Charter protections for a limited period of time. "
yes, i was. technically, this should not be possible in the US. alas, in practice, it seems to have become the norm. trusting politicians to adjudicate what " a limited period of time" means is like trusting a lifelong alcoholic to gauge "how many drinks are enough." there is nothing on earth so permanent as a temporary government program.
keep in mind that 1.5% is not what it looks like. you had to take a PCR test to get ON the plane as well, and anyone with trace/viral fragments would have failed.
so this is the positivity number for people who passed a test a couple days earlier and therefore likely represents the flay out false positivity rate of the test, not the false clinical positive rate (which WOULD be in the domestic numbers)
makes for very different math. these are not independent variables.

Following this bit on cycle thresholds, he goes into his. thoughts on asymptomatic spread...which continue not to age well at all.
Wow, we're reaching into the past for this one :)

Receipts, we have them.

A familiar theme of the deluded/brainwashed

Gato. A year ago we couldn't have had more distant opinions on this. Now. I'm in your pride.
Whatever your view of PCR testing, if we assume it's applied consistently among travelers and non-travelers, then only 1.5% of returning travelers tested positive, which is a fraction of the overall poisitivity rate in Canada. So, the question is, should Canadians now be urged to travel abroad? https://torontosun.com/news/local-news/only-1-5-of-air-travellers-tested-positive-for-covid-19-health-canada?fbclid=IwAR34y3vn9EN-qNAtRjkNV7dI4sROi-DTvYDBTg_WTjzLHw2IPC1ZCX8dexY
