I began my research into Covid-19 testing with the intention of coming to understand how the number of PCR ‘cycles’ impacts the validity of a positive test result. My basic understanding was that the more cycles (of exponential replication of the patient’s sample in a test tube), the less actual ‘virus’ was being found in the body, and the more questionable a ‘positive’ result became.
Little did I know that this understanding, while having some validity, was only the tip of the iceberg. In trying to bring clarity to the true character of the current Covid-19 test I had to start to venture down the rabbit hole, learning not only the complete RT-PCR process but also examining whether the SARS-COV-2 virus, the supposed ’cause’ of the Covid-19 illness, has actually been isolated and how its full genetic code has been determined.
Now, I apologize in advance if the discussion gets a little technical. I have tried to simplify it as much as possible, and I urge you to stay with me for this important reason: if we are to find and proliferate the truth, we need to have a detailed understanding of what what we are dealing with. In this era of incredible deception by the ruling class, we need to grasp science in order to safeguard our health, just as we need to study politics and law to ensure our freedom, and learn history and psychology in order to understand how and to what extent we have been brainwashed since we were born.
The Deception in Covid-19 Science
Researching this pandemic is a fertile avenue into learning about the extent to which our perception of reality is being distorted. As one researcher who I will quote again later says about the whole science behind coronaviruses,
“…the laboratory procedures and techniques [have become] progressively more sophisticated which, in this case, has implied not a greater accuracy but a greater capacity for deception and self-deception.” (source)
Self-deception here means that not only is the general public being intentionally deceived, but also a large portion of the scientific community, who have been trained to focus on their compartmentalized discipline and to never question the big-picture ‘assumptions’ that form the basis of the ‘ruling’ scientific paradigm. Much of the scientific community is complicit in the deception by being ignorant of the big picture, whether willfully or not. As Dr. Judy Mikovitz said in the ruthlessly banned documentary Plandemic,
It’s not the scientists who are in any way dishonest, they’re listening to people who for more that 40 years have controlled who gets funded, what gets published, and, I’m sorry to say, many, many people will simply take the money, and the fame, and support things that are absolutely untrue.
So if scientists in the field are being deceived, what chance do ordinary people have to understand what is really going on, not just in the back rooms of the Western medical establishment, but even more importantly within our bodies? Well, our advantage here is that we are not as compromised by the system as many scientists are. For some scientists, the issue is funding, for others it is the fear to speak out against orthodoxy and face potentially chilling repercussions for doing so. They see colleagues who are actually committed to the truth and who challenge the prevalent scientific norms getting marginalized, decertified, jailed (like Dr. Judy Mikovitz) and in some cases even killed. If the control-oriented funding mechanism of Western science isn’t enough, then these threats of disenfranchisement and potential personal harm have been enough to keep the majority of scientists in the system fairly compliant with its agenda.
Now as a non-scientist, if you are to stop relying on the proclamations of the scientific ‘authorities’ like the WHO and CDC and take up the mantle of spreading the truth about this ‘pandemic,’ it requires some of your time and effort. Headline-reading will not do. You have to be willing and able to dig beyond the full propaganda power of the government/medical establishment/mainstream media axis, which includes those ‘fact-checking’ sites at the top of most Google searches like Snopes and Politifact that are in lock-step with the agenda. When you learn how to interpret the processes and raw statistical evidence that form the basis for claiming we are in a second wave of the spread of the ‘deadly’ SARS-COV-2 virus, you will inevitably start questioning the whole narrative.
What do we learn when we start to look below the surface? Firstly, that the whole ‘second wave of Covid-19’ is statistically predicated, not on abnormally rising death tolls (compared to other flu seasons), unduly overcrowded emergency wards or even an abnormal number of people who are sick with flu-like symptoms. It all hinges on the integrity of a testing mechanism called Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR) and the belief that the SARS-COV-2 virus is being reliably detected by it.
How Covid-19 Detection by PCR Supposedly Works
The generic PCR test is a method widely used to rapidly make millions to billions of copies of a specific DNA sample, allowing scientists to take a very small sample of DNA and amplify it to a large enough amount to study in detail. PCR was invented in 1983 by American biochemist Kary Mullis.
Now follow along carefully with me because understanding how the PCR test supposedly obtains positive Covid-19 results is a bit complex; but again, this complexity is often used by the global elite to shield the general public from what they are actually doing.
1) The Reverse-transcriptase process. Since SARS-COV-2 is said to exist in the body as an RNA virus (meaning it expresses itself as a single strand of genetic material), it must first be converted to DNA (double strand) so that, as a DNA strand, it is capable of being replicated through PCR.
2) Identifying the SARS-COV-2 RNA strand in the swab sample. In order to first identify a single RNA strand of SARS-COV-2 that has been swabbed from the upper respiratory tract of the patient, it is necessary to use ‘primers,’ which are unique genetic sequences taken from the SARS-COV-2 genome that are matched to the beginning and end of the RNA strand in order to initiate the reverse-transcriptase process. These short primers of DNA matching the complementary strand of the viral RNA template stick together, functioning as an artificial start site for DNA synthesis.
3) Replicating the newly-created SARS-COV-2 DNA strand. Once a full SARS-COV-2 DNA strand is manufactured in the test tube, then it becomes possible to use PCR cycles to increase the number of strands exponentially until there is a sufficient number of copies (millions or billions) to allow detection. Then the genetic code detected is supposedly matched against that actual known unique genetic sequence of the SARS-COV-2 virus, and when we have a positive match we have a positive test result.
Deconstructing the Myth
Now we have to look at the set of assumptions we are asked to accept in order for the model explained above to play out:
- The SARS-COV-2 virus has been isolated, which would allow us to determine its full unique genome.
- The primers used to begin the reverse-transcriptase process are unique to the SARS-COV-2 virus.
- The SARS-COV-2 virus has been shown to be the cause of the illness called Covid-19.
Out in the mainstream, these points are rarely debated or even discussed. They are generally stated as fact. And if there are problems with the PCR test, none of these ‘facts’ are ever questioned as the culprit. What most people don’t know is that none of them have been proven. They are just assumptions at the foundation of a certain mass perception of what Covid-19 is, so that Covid-19 can be used to control those who believe in that manufactured perception. Our job here is to try and figure out what the truth is.
In his blog post ‘The SARS-Cov-2 virus was never proved to exist,’ John Rappoport elaborates on how our simplistic understanding of the science makes us perfect patsies for scientific deception.
Don’t imagine genetic sequencing is performed by people looking directly at a virus through a cosmic microscope and jotting down the names of rows of genes sitting side by side like cars in a supermarket parking lot.
Real ‘isolation’ of a virus means it has been separated from everything else and is completely in isolation. This is extremely difficult to do, simply by the fact that before we know what it actually is, we can’t be certain that what we are separating from everything else in a sample is what we are actually looking for. This is what they don’t want you to know or think about, because it can lead you to doubt everything else they say. Rappoport elaborates here:
Scientists and public health agencies claim they’ve ISOLATED the virus.
There is no reason to believe them. The term “isolation” is thrown around like a politician throws around the term, “the people.”
Isolation of a virus SHOULD mean it is separated out from all the genetic, cellular, microbial, and waste material that surrounds it. But don’t assume, when professionals are talking or writing, that this is what they DO mean. Do not assume that.
For example, they often mean: “We have the virus in a dish in the lab. The soup in the dish contains human cells, animal cells, chemicals, toxic drugs, and other material. However, we know the virus is there and growing, because it is killing the cells…”
Wrong. There is more than sufficient non-viral toxic substance in the soup that could be doing the cell-killing. Further, the cells in the dish are being starved of nutrients. That factor alone could produce cell death. And obviously, “the virus” in the dish is surrounded by this mix of material. It is far from isolated.
The reality presented here is that in science, most honest scientists live in a world in which “we don’t really know, we think it might be a, or perhaps b or c, or a combination of two or more of them. We need to do more testing in this area.” But those in the ruling class who control the scientific establishment (through the WHO, the CDC, etc.) know that the general public are uncomfortable with uncertainty, and respond better to unambiguous proclamations that create a clear picture of how things are. This makes the general public ripe for being deceived and controlled.
Digging Deeper Into the Facts
As I’ve said, if we are to equip ourselves to know the truth, we cannot settle for a simplistic understanding of the science. Let’s continue investigating whether or not the SARS-COV-2 virus has been isolated and whether its full genome has been established.
In a groundbreaking paper entitled ‘The scam has been confirmed: PCR does not detect SARS-CoV-2,’ (originally published in Spanish here), Jesus Garcia Blanca lays out the results of serious and detailed research that shows not only that SARS-COV-2 has not been isolated, but that the primers that are used in the first phase of the RT-PCR test described above are not unique to this supposed virus:
In this report we are going to add the results of a particular research we have done from the data published on the alleged SARS-CoV-2 and on the protocols endorsed by the WHO for the use of RT-PCR as well as the data corresponding to the rest of the “human coronaviruses”. And the conclusions are extremely serious: none of the seven “human coronaviruses” have actually been isolated and all the sequences of the primers of their respective PCRs as well as those of a large number of fragments of their supposed genomes are found in different areas of the human genome and in genomes of bacteria and archaea.
Later in the report he reiterates the importance of understanding that the SARS-COV-2 genome has partly been inferred by the characteristics of other human coronaviruses, and that if none of these have actually been isolated either, the whole paradigm is brought into question.
In essence, NOT ONE OF THE SEVEN SUPPOSED HUMAN CORONAVIRUS HAS REALLY BEEN ISOLATED. The only thing that has been different between them are the laboratory procedures and techniques that were becoming progressively more sophisticated which, in this case, has implied not a greater accuracy but a greater capacity for deception and self-deception that has culminated in the virtual manufacture of the SARS-CoV-2. And the obvious consequence of the lack of evidence of its isolation is that such “coronaviruses” cannot be held responsible for any disease. Moreover, all tests – of whatever kind – based on the presumed components of these “viruses” (nucleic acids or proteins) are completely disqualified as “infection tests” and even more as “diagnostics” of diseases.
Those interested in this line of questioning the validity of the entire Covid-19 testing mechanism should read the full report (only a 15-minute read). What we really come to understand is that, if the SARS-COV-2 virus has never been isolated, and its genetic sequence is relying on inference from other human coronaviruses that themselves have never been isolated, doesn’t that mean that we have yet to prove the existence of the SARS-COV-2 virus? And since the primer sequences are not unique, does that not mean that the PCR test may be replicating an RNA strand that is part of a human or bacterial genome, instead of some ‘novel’ virus?
False Positives and Threshold
With these questions, the phenomenon of false positive test results is not surprising. Elon Musk famously had four consecutive tests done, where he tested positive twice, and negative twice. The notion that a ‘positive’ result actually certifies that you have a contagious virus in your system is severely brought into question. The problem is so bad that even the WHO had to admit that there are problems with false positives:
WHO has received user feedback on an elevated risk for false SARS-CoV-2 results when testing specimens using RT-PCR reagents on open systems.
As with any diagnostic procedure, the positive and negative predictive values for the product in a given testing population are important to note. As the positivity rate for SARS-CoV-2 decreases, the positive predictive value also decreases. This means that the probability that a person who has a positive result (SARS-CoV-2 detected) is truly infected with SARS-CoV-2 decreases as positivity rate decreases, irrespective of the assay specificity. Therefore, healthcare providers are encouraged to take into consideration testing results along with clinical signs and symptoms, confirmed status of any contacts, etc. (source)
While healthcare providers are advised here by the WHO to take into account other aspects such as symptoms and contact information, those who enforce draconian Covid ‘measures,’ (public health officers, government and the media) only use the positive case counts, in order to paint a dire picture to justify such measures.
In an article entitled The COVID-19 RT-PCR Test: How to Mislead All Humanity – Using a “Test” to Lock Down Society, there is an elaboration on why the RT-PCR test, employing only binary ‘positive/negative’ results, is not a serious diagnostics tool but rather a tool being used to manipulate and fool the population:
RT-PCR is qualitative: positive (presence of the virus) or negative (absence of the virus).
This notion of quantity, therefore of viral load, can be estimated indirectly by the number of amplification cycles (Ct) used to highlight the virus sought.
The higher the Ct used to detect the virus fragment, the lower the viral load is considered to be (low).
Thus, the French National Reference Centre (CNR), in the acute phase of the pandemic, estimated that the peak of viral shedding occurred at the onset of symptoms, with an amount of virus corresponding to approximately 108 (100 million) copies of SARS-CoV-2 viral RNA on average (French COVID-19 cohort data) with a variable duration of shedding in the upper airways (from 5 days to more than 5 weeks) [19].
This number of 108 (100 million) copies/μl corresponds to a very low Ct.
A Ct of 32 corresponds to 10-15 copies/μl.
A Ct of 35 corresponds to about 1 copy/μl.
Above Ct 35, it becomes impossible to isolate a complete virus sequence and culture it!
In France and in most countries, Ct levels above 35, even 40, are still used even today!
The French Society of Microbiology (SFM) issued an opinion on September 25, 2020 in which it does not recommend quantitative results, and it recommends to make positive up to a Ct of 37 for a single gene [20]!
With 1 copy/μl of a sample (Ct 35), without cough, without symptoms, one can understand why all these doctors and scientists say that a positive RT-PCR test means nothing, nothing at all in terms of medicine and clinic!
Positive RT-PCR tests, without any mention of Ct or its relation to the presence or absence of symptoms, are used as is by our governments as the exclusive argument to apply and justify their policy of severity, austerity, isolation and aggression of our freedoms, with the impossibility to travel, to meet, to live normally!
If our authority really cared about public health, then testing would only be done on people with symptoms, and the number of amplification cycles would be limited (to between 20 and 25) in order for positive test results to represent finding a large enough viral load to suggest that person may be a potential spreader of the disease. Instead, the Ct used is kept hidden as much as possible, and allows the labs to gain more positive results on demand simply by increasing the number of amplification cycles.
In Ontario, Sanada, where I live, the threshold limit is 38. As we’ve seen above, positive test results over 35 cycles are actually detecting less than one original single strand of viral RNA in the entire sample, an insignificant amount which rules out infection or contagion, but is still used as a basis to scare people about the ‘second wave.’ It is now easy to see, based on the adjustable cycle limits with a sky-high ceiling, that the ‘positive’ results behind claims of a ‘second wave’ could fundamentally be a fabrication.
It’s All About Control
From my experience so far, I’ve found that those who believe in the necessity of the Covid-19 measures simply haven’t done the research, and those that have done the research don’t believe in the measures. I have not had a single person defend the Covid measures by coming to me with studies that they have read and digested or statistics they have analyzed that indicate a valid reason to have masks, shutdowns, or even social distancing. Generally, all they have to say is, “better to be safe than sorry,” or “it can’t hurt.”
Now don’t get me wrong–this is an elaborate and convincing hoax for those that have not pierced the veil of mainstream perception–but it is a hoax nonetheless. The Western medical establishment has worked very hard to create the perception that they are wholly devoted to improving human health and discovering the cures for what ails humanity. However, when we look beyond this façade, we see evidence that the lion’s share of the vast manpower, technology, and financial resources at their disposal are being poured into making hoaxes like this ‘Pandemic’ as convincing and plausible as they can. It is the only explanation as to why laboratories like the Wuhan Laboratory of Virology are so highly funded. Certainly common sense would dictate that if human health and safety were the goals, all that money and resources would not be getting poured into whether a bat virus could be altered in ways that would make it more virulent to the human population.
It is a complex and difficult endeavor to manufacture pathogens that will be passed off as natural ‘viruses,’ able to manifest enough physical symptoms to create a frenzy about contagion and mortality through the human population. But in the end, when you follow the money, getting the people to buy into their pre-planned ‘cure’, the vaccine, offers a tremendous return on their investment.
The Takeaway
This article has already gone on long enough–and yet it barely scratches the surface of the amount of scientific evidence that this Pandemic is a carefully constructed ruse. This ties in with activities in the political and economic spheres, which together support a broad agenda for the ruling class to gain virtually unlimited control over the population. Yet, if enough of us come to understand the science behind this pandemic, by investigating more deeply the papers and articles cited here that challenge the mainstream narrative, we may very well gain the power to stop this agenda from being carried out. Awareness is the key, and this is the moment in history where it is most crucial that we are aware of what is going on.
