Data Fraud Boosted COVID Numbers

While Public Health Ontario (PHO) is reporting an all-time high positivity test rate for COVID-19, prompting the most restrictive measures from the provincial government to date, evidence shows that the diagnostic testing tools for detecting the virus being employed by the province’s health authorities may not only be misleading but false.
The main method for testing for COVID-19 in Ontario is by means of the highly controversial PCR test.
“PCR testing (also known as polymerase chain reaction testing) is a type of test that tells us if someone currently has COVID-19. It uses a sample collected with a swab from the person’s nose/throat,” states PHO’s website about the method.
Carl Heneghan, professor of evidence-based medicine at the University of Oxford and director of the Centre for Evidence-Based Medicine, wrote an article along with Tom Jefferson, an honorary research fellow at the Centre for Evidence-Based Medicine at the University of Oxford, for The Spectator last August in which they laid out how the PCR test works and why using it for mass testing “might cause more harm than good.”
Explaining how the PCR test works, they wrote:
Detection of viruses using Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR) is helpful so long as its accuracy can be understood: it offers the capacity to detect RNA in minute quantities, but whether that RNA represents infectious virus is another matter. RT-PCR uses enzymes called reverse transcriptase to change a specific piece of genetic material called RNA into a matching piece of genetic DNA. The test then amplifies this DNA exponentially; millions of copies of DNA can be made from a single viral RNA strand.
A fluorescent signal is attached to the DNA copies, and when the fluorescent signal reaches a certain threshold, the test is deemed positive. The number of cycles required before the fluorescence threshold is reached gives an estimate of how much virus is present in the sample. This measure is called the cycle threshold (Ct). The higher the cycle number, the less RNA there is in the sample; the lower the level, the greater the amount in the initial sample.
In other words, the test relies on multiple cycles of amplification to produce results.
But a positive result doesn’t necessarily indicate if someone is infected with COVID-19, only if they have more or less of a viral load. The New York Times outlined how the cycle threshold relates to the accuracy of the test this way:
The PCR test amplifies genetic matter from the virus in cycles; the fewer cycles required, the greater the amount of virus, or viral load, in the sample. The greater the viral load, the more likely the patient is to be contagious.
This number of amplification cycles needed to find the virus, called the cycle threshold, is never included in the results sent to doctors and coronavirus patients, although it could tell them how infectious the patients are.
In three sets of testing data that include cycle thresholds, compiled by officials in Massachusetts, New York and Nevada, up to 90 percent of people testing positive carried barely any virus, a review by The Times found.
Heneghan and Jefferson in their article related how a Canadian study found that a “live virus,” indicating that someone was truly infected with SARS-CoV-2 and could be contagious, was “only detected when the cycle threshold was less than 24.”
When the threshold is set to a higher limit, say 37, the test may only be detecting dead genetic fragments of the virus, perhaps from a previous infection or fragments that were simply picked up from the environment that, even though they pose no risk to the individual, could be counted as a positive case of COVID-19.
Juliet Morrison, a virologist at the University of California, told The New York Times last August that any PCR test with a cycle threshold above 35 would be too sensitive, potentially resulting in false positives.
Public Health Ontario admits on its website where it explains “Covid-19 PCR testing and Cycle Thresholds” that it runs the PCR test with a cycle threshold of up to 40, far beyond the number 24 at which live virus can be found and far beyond the number 35 that could yield reliable results.
And this is where things get even crazier. The PHO states that if what it believes to be virus fragments are detected between 38 and 40 cycles, it still reports this as a positive case.
“The cutoff point for a positive result for PHO’s developed lab test is 38 cycles. This means that if the virus is found at or before 38 cycles are completed, then the test is considered positive. The cutoff point for a negative result is 40 cycles. If the virus is detected between 38 and 40 cycles, we call this an indeterminate or inconclusive result. All inconclusive results are considered probable (likely) cases for public health reporting,” states the PHO on its website.
PHO’s Clinical Microbiologist and Deputy Chief Microbiology Samir Patel went as far as boasting that the PHO is willing to accept test results as COVID positive even when the test is run at the highest cycle threshold.
“Most samples that test positive at PHO are found after a low number of cycles are run. However, any indication of the virus in a sample is important, regardless of how many cycles it took to find,” he said as reported by PHO’s website.
Public Health Ontario admits that the cycle threshold at which tests were run are not included on test results in Ontario though they are available to health care professionals upon request.
What all this means is that when Ontario health officials claim that tests are showing a rapid rise in COVID cases and measures need to be taken to stop the spread, the reality is likely far different, namely that only a small percentage of those cases may involve people who actually are carrying the live virus and are truly infected and capable of infecting others.
When Ontario has been reporting more than 4,000 new cases daily over the past couple of days, how many of these cases are the result of an unreliable cycle threshold of 35 and more? How many of these cases actually contain the live virus?
The New York Times, when it drilled down on PCR testing data in August, found that “of testing data that include cycle thresholds, compiled by officials in Massachusetts, New York and Nevada, up to 90 percent of people testing positive carried barely any virus.”
Applying their findings back then to the national situation, when, at the time, the United States had just recorded 45,604 new coronavirus cases, The Times stated that “if the rates of contagiousness in Massachusetts and New York were to apply nationwide, then perhaps only 4,500 of those people may actually need to isolate and submit to contact tracing.”
Applying such numbers to the Ontario situation, of the roughly 4,000 new daily cases, only 40 of them might actually contain live virus and pose some threat.
This week, a group of nine prominent Ontario doctors and scientists in the fields of clinical medicine, biology, immunology, virology, epidemiology, and infectious disease challenged the Ontario government’s pandemic response team to a public debate to defend its response to the outbreak.
On the seven topics the doctors and scientists want to discuss, one includes discussing what controls the province has put in place, if any, to “limit the number of cycles used in performing PCR tests to 30 cycles to avoid undue false positives inflating the cases reported.”
The challenge is highly critical of Premier Doug Ford’s actions.
“For over a year the government of Ontario has used a blanket non-targeted and population-wide approach using measures that now appear to be, at best, arbitrary and worse capricious. These have led to unnecessary death of our seniors and collateral damage to our society’s mental health, deaths of despair, drug overdoses (intentional or not), alcoholism, suicidal ideation and worse.”
“Ontarians with severe illnesses, small businesses, and our economy have suffered immeasurable harms,” they state.
In December, Florida required that laboratories reporting on PCR test results must include cycle threshold values. This would allow health authorities to determine what tests they especially need to pay attention to (ones with a lower cycle threshold that showed evidence of live virus) for a more reliable perspective on the real situation.
It’s time for Ontario government leaders to follow the real science and base decisions on the actual number of infections, not on unreliable test results that may inflate the situation and make it seem much worse than it really is.

I agree. Pushing his “hockey stick” climate theory should have ended his career, but Penn St scooped him up.

Canada has been going crazy with falsified covid numbers lately. Its an effort to justify more lockdowns to drive up the “value” of vaccine passports. They are enacting more restrictions just to combat vaccine hesitancy. They are putting on anti-hesitancy campaigns in the US to combat “hesitancy”.
This article from Jon Rappaport has a couple good observations:
https://www.lewrockwell.com/2021/04/jon-rappoport/vaccine-hustlers-cant-keep-their-story-straight-evangelicals-black-people-trumpers-whos-hesitating/
Jon notes that 41% of black people (US) don’t want the vaccine, and they really distrust the FDA: “Any group that distrusts the FDA at the rate of 71% is medically on the ball.”
The vaccine hesitancy isn’t just the black community though, conservatives, evangelicals, and whites are also being targeted for hesitancy and this is where Jon makes the next observation:
“White Republicans are also being lied to by Donald Trump, Mr. Warp Speed, who is pushing the COVID vaccine like a lifeboat on the Titanic.
Trump is fronting for the COVID shot with a fervor matched only by Biden and Fauci and Bill Gates.”
The quicker the people realize that Trump played them, the quicker they unite as the people .
The key point I take away from the hesitancy narrative is that it is high across the board. Division is one of the elites favorite tools in times like this. Keep an eye on the US in the coming weeks. We’ll probably see more emphasis on dividing the public along party and racial lines.

The fake virus, fake test and fake numbers pushed by the Jew MSM and all of the Zionist political operatives will use all the standard tactics to divide and conquer opposition to the blood toxin injections. Both political parties in the U.S. have been controlled since the syphilitic puppet actor Wilson and his handlers Bernard Baruch, Eugene Meyer and Rothschild employee Col. House in 1913. Trump (Jew lineage on mothers side) has always been controlled by the Zionist Jews. He was bailed out of his personal debt of 1.2 billion by his Sec. of Commerce and former Rothschild managing director Jew Wilbur Ross with a package put together by Jew bankers of Manhattan.
Trump’s first project after “taking over” from his shabbas goy father was in partnership with the Zionist Jew Pritzker’ s of Chicago who amassed huge wealth during the puppet actor Truman ad, as they in partnership with Bazalon the Zionist Jew official of the Office of Alien Property, confiscated Millions of Japanese Americans property and sold it for pennies on the dollar to their other Jew buddies. Remember the bailout for billionaires program led by Geitner and Goldman Sachs of 08-09. Same type fleecing action has occurred again with the “stimulus” for Wall St. by the Banking cartel again.
Trumps top four donors in 2016 were all Zionist Jews, Kushner family, Sheldon “all I care about is Zionism” Adelson, vulture investor Paul Singer and Home Depot founder Bernie Marcos. Trump’s daughter is married into the Kushner family and is a member of the radical racist Chabad Lubavitch (they think Gentiles are to be their donkeys) and when Trump left office the pardoned several high level criminals that had contributed large amounts to this most racist organization in the world. and also granted full pardon to Israeli super spy J. Pollard.
The Fake Democrats are the same thing. Senile self proclaimed Zionist Biden has worked for the Zionist Syndicate for over 40 yrs. They are using the fake virus as a fear mechanism to get the people to relinquish all of their liberties over an invisible and imaginary fear so they can be herded into Agenda 2030-21.

So, I’ve never heard of Chabad. The first thing I found was:
https://www.chabad.org/
I saw that they were celebrating something called Lag BaOmer. It has modern relevance in terms of symbology.
The first glaring give away is that it falls “33” days after passover. The Omer part is something where they verbally count 49 days. This is because EnLil’s number is 50. We see a lot of Anu and Enlil symbology today. The celebration is held in Iyar (April_May), and this name means rosette.
The rosette symbol, or asterisk as a variant, was big from Sumeria through Akkadia, where it was:
“aiuru (airu)
see also kakkabtu : a rosette , a bow / a cocade , a flower.
kakkabtu
1) an ornament : a star-shaped object , a rosette , an asterisk + ;
2) : a brand-mark on slaves / beasts ”
In the festival of Lag BaOmer, the children are supposed to play with bows and arrows; see airu.
So, we can see the slave references. Akkadian is where much of the “kkk” terminology comes from.
The rosette (asterisk) was the symbol of the Sumerian goddess of Social Justice, Nanše, and her Egyptian counterpart, Sopdet (maybe misspelled).
In the end, there are connections to EnLil, slavery, and social justice. All of which, we are seeing repeatedly displayed today.

Hello Wisenox:
Chabad Lubavitch is a racist Zionist Reform Judaism cult that follows the Talmud and was led by radical Menachem Mendel Schneerson till his recent death. It is reported that Trump’s top advisor and Chababad Lubavitch member, son-in-law Jarrad and the Shiksa Princess go to viisit Schneerson’s grave. Trump was also assisted by top advisor Avrahm Berkowitz who has special qualifications because he studied at Kol Torah Jewish seminary in Jerusalem and also at the Yeshiva in Baltimore.
When there was resentment expressed recently on some college campuses against the Khazar thugs treatment of Palestinians, Trump issued an executive order forbidding anti semitic (free speech) on college campuses. Jew Tube uses the ADL (B’nai B’rith) to sensor all their content and our shabbas goy congress frequently holds hearings with the ADL as primary witness on the terrible plight of discrimination and harassment against the poor Jews and that something must be done about the white crime, even though almost all violent crime in U.S. is committed by non-whites. N,Y. City for instance, 90% by non whites.

Without consistent and worldwide standards and limits for using the PCr testing method, the results from these testing methods are highly suspect and not to be taken for granted. It is so easy to create a flood of misleading data using faulty testing methods.
Since it appears that no exact particle of covid has been defined, and even the CDC cannot produce such a particle if asked, how can the test match extracted RNA particles with real CoV-2 particles? It can’t. It’s an approximation…pure guesswork.
The cycle threshold should be set at 25 or the max of 30 cycles…not over 35 or 40. This entire charade has been backed by false data from day one. Two weeks to flatten the curve?? 70 million deaths in the worldwide from covid?? The CDC stating that any death suspected of being covid related can be listed as such without any firm proof?? All lies and propaganda.
