Open (More or Less) Post on Covid 99

[ecosophia]

As we proceed through the second year of these open posts, it's pretty clear that the official narrative is cracking as the toll of deaths and injuries from the Covid vaccines rises steadily and the vaccines themselves demonstrate their total uselessness at preventing Covid infection or transmission. It's still important to keep watch over the mis-, mal- and nonfeasance of our self-proclaimed health gruppenfuehrers, and the disastrous results of the Covid mania, but I think it's also time to begin thinking about what might be possible as the existing medical industry reels under the impact of its own self-inflicted injuries. 

So it's time for another open post. The rules are the same as before: 

1. If you plan on parroting the party line of the medical industry and its paid shills, please go away. This is a place for people to talk openly, honestly, and freely about their concerns that the party line in question is dangerously flawed and that actions being pushed by the medical industry et al. are causing injury and death. It is not a place for you to dismiss those concerns. Anyone who wants to hear the official story and the arguments in favor of it can find those on hundreds of thousands of websites.

2. If you plan on insisting that the current situation is the result of a deliberate plot by some villainous group of people or other, please go away. There are tens of thousands of websites currently rehashing various conspiracy theories about the Covid-19 outbreak and the vaccines. This is not one of them. What we're exploring is the likelihood that what's going on is the product of the same arrogance, incompetence, and corruption that the medical industry and its tame politicians have displayed so abundantly in recent decades. That possibility deserves a space of its own for discussion, and that's what we're doing here. 
 
3. If you plan on using rent-a-troll derailing or disruption tactics, please go away. I'm quite familiar with the standard tactics used by troll farms to disrupt online forums, and am ready, willing, and able -- and in fact quite eager -- to ban people permanently for engaging in them here. Oh, and I also lurk on other Covid-19 vaccine skeptic blogs, so I'm likely to notice when the same posts are showing up on more than one venue. 

4. If you don't believe in treating people with common courtesy, please go away. I have, and enforce, a strict courtesy policy on my blogs and online forums, and this is no exception. The sort of schoolyard bullying that takes place on so many other internet forums will get you deleted and banned here. Also, please don't drag in current quarrels about sex, race, religions, etc. No, I don't care if you disagree with that: my journal, my rules. 

With that said, the floor is open for discussion.

Re: flu mixed up with COVID

[weilong]

The absurdly high cycle thresholds are only one of the problems with the PCR test for covid.

A more basic issue is that nobody can say whether the genetic material it is testing for is actually from a virus called sars-cov2 or not. Nobody has actually seen one of those viruses - they are purely hypothetical based on computer modeling (and yes, I know that is standard practice in virology, but that doesn't make it any better). And the sequence for the original test was extracted from something coughed up by a pneumonia patient in Wuhan, which likely contained biological material from a variety of unknown sources.

Another issue, of course, is that the tests have never been validated. Typically, you would want to compare the results of a test like this to some other test to see how reliable it is. In this case, the thing to do would be to compare PCR test results to clinical diagnoses in the same patients to see if they match up. Problem is, there is no clinical diagnosis for covid. The PCR test (and now its cousins the antibody and antigen tests) is the one and only diagnostic criteria for covid, which means there is no independently verifiable criteria by which it could be validated.

So the fact that your test is positive or negative doesn't mean anything - except perhaps meaning that your doctor is being lazy and relying on a lab test instead of actually looking at your symptoms and history.

Whether or not there actually ever was a new disease called covid is perhaps an open question. But all of the "covid cases" in the last three years, without a doubt, included grab-bag of various colds and flus and who-knows what else that were misdiagnosed on the basis of meaningless lab tests.
