Exposing The Covid19 virus ‘false positive trap’
There has been much debate recently about the effectiveness or not of the PCR testing for the Covid virus, and much criticism of the methods employed in testing in the UK.
A few days ago, the retired former government scientist I am acquainted with wrote a piece about it, and I reproduce it in its entirety here.
He produced the chart below of the results of testing in the UK up to August 20th. This ‘test and trace’ data is released a week in arrears. The dotted line represents an upper value for the false positive rate, this being estimated at 2 – 4 cases per 100 people tested by the Centre for Evidence Based Medicine at Oxford University.
He says:
Pillar 1 is testing of those with a clinical need (sick folk and frontline workers). Pillar 2 is testing of the wider population who have reason to require a test (not feeling well, self-isolating, contact with a case). Falling below the false positive rate means we are looking at garbage. If SARS-COV-2 vanished overnight the PCR test would still churn out positive results. The CEBM call it the false positive trap meaning the UK will be perpetually caught in a numbers game that has no clinical meaning.
He continued:
“Despite it being the single most important graph we can produce, no government data authority has bothered to produce it and no journalist or news channel has bothered to chase epidemiologists to produce one for them. It means we are in the middle of a perpetual lockdown” (Emphasis added)
In the middle of a perpetual lockdown.
Later the same day, he commented further:
“By relying on the wholly inappropriate PCR test and ignoring genuine expert advice, the government will have created a perpetual medical tyranny. This coming winter will produce the usual seasonal ‘flu that will no doubt trigger thousands of positive PCR tests, thus giving them their ‘second wave’ and an excuse to extend their emergency powers for another two years. Until the medical establishment speak out en-masse and people rebel with conviction we are not going to get out of this.”
I hate the term ‘conspiracy theorist’, but I and many others have been saying for some time none of this is about protecting people from a virus which looks like being no worse than a bad flu season, and everything to do with taking the opportunity to enact legislation aimed at population control and regulation, to advance the globalists Agenda 2030 or whatever the latest name for it is.
The government and the mainstream media should be emphasizing how low the number of deaths has fallen, and that the increasing cases are mainly due to increased testing, but no, they are doing the exact opposite, continuing to ramp up the fearmongering, and making it seem, like Carol McGiffin said on Talk Radio a few days ago, that if someone touches them they will drop dead.
With the current focus on the number of cases rather than the rapidly dwindling number of deaths, this rather suggests the current situation is intended to continue for years rather than months, just as the ‘conspiracy theorists’ predicted, and will probably become permanent; the ‘new normal’ of increased restrictions, increased regulation and increased loss of civil liberties from which we will never escape.

The specificity and sensitivity of the test become irrelevant when the prevalence of the disease is so low.
I explained the maths here:
https://principia-scientific.com/the-mathematics-of-covid19-testing/
Even assuming the claims of high specificity and sensitivity of a PCR test, the fact is that there is less than a 10% chance of it being correct.
Andy’s last paragraph sums up the reasons why this simple information is being withheld from the general public. Pure and simple deception.

If something is evidence or data based it is not a conspiracy.
The war against false science can most easily be progressed with valid science supported by a varied mass of appropriately qualified scientists with information supplied in a credible format.
Some of the apparent agendas are too incredible for the masses to digest.
