Now FDA Admits PCR Tests Give False COVID Results
The FDA today joined The WHO and Dr.Fauci in admitting there is a notable risk of false results from the standard PCR-Test used to define whether an individual is a COVID “Case” or not.
This matters significantly as it fits perfectly with the ‘fake rescue’ plan we have previously described would occur if the Biden admin took office. But before we get to that ‘conspiracy’, we need a little background on how the world got here…
We have detailed the controversy surrounding America’s COVID “casedemic” and the misleading results of the PCR test and its amplification procedure in great detail over the past few months.
As a reminder, “cycle thresholds” (Ct) are the level at which widely used polymerase chain reaction (PCR) test can detect a sample of the COVID-19 virus. The higher the number of cycles, the lower the amount of viral load in the sample; the lower the cycles, the more prevalent the virus was in the original sample.
Numerous epidemiological experts have argued that cycle thresholds are an important metric by which patients, the public, and policymakers can make more informed decisions about how infectious and/or sick an individual with a positive COVID-19 test might be. However, as JustTheNews reports, health departments across the country are failing to collect that data.
Here are a few headlines from those experts and scientific studies:
2. The Wadworth Center, a New York State laboratory, analyzed the results of its July tests at the request of the NYT: 794 positive tests with a Ct of 40: “With a Ct threshold of 35, approximately half of these PCR tests would no longer be considered positive,” said the NYT. “And about 70% would no longer be considered positive with a Ct of 30! “
3. An appeals court in Portugal has ruled that the PCR process is not a reliable test for Sars-Cov-2, and therefore any enforced quarantine based on those test results is unlawful.
4. A new study from the Infectious Diseases Society of America, found that at 25 cycles of amplification, 70% of PCR test “positives” are not “cases” since the virus cannot be cultured, it’s dead. And by 35: 97% of the positives are non-clinical.
5. PCR is not testing for disease, it’s testing for a specific RNA pattern and this is the key pivot. When you crank it up to 25, 70% of the positive results are not really “positives” in any clinical sense, since it cannot make you or anyone else sick
So, in summary, with regard to our current “casedemic”, positive tests as they are counted today do not indicate a “case” of anything. They indicate that viral RNA was found in a nasal swab. It may be enough to make you sick, but according to the New York Times and their experts, probably won’t. And certainly not sufficient replication of the virus to make anyone else sick. But you will be sent home for ten days anyway, even if you never have a sniffle. And this is the number the media breathlessly reports… and is used to fearmonger mask mandates and lockdowns nationwide…
In October we first exposed how PCR Tests have misled officials worldwide into insanely authoritative reactions.
As PJMedia’s Stacey Lennox wrote, the “casedemic” is the elevated number of cases we see nationwide because of a flaw in the PCR test. The number of times the sample is amplified, also called the cycle threshold (Ct), is too high.
It identifies people who do not have a viral load capable of making them ill or transmitting the disease to someone else as positive for COVID-19.
The New York Times reported this flaw on August 29 and said that in the samples they reviewed from three states where labs use a Ct of 37-40, up to 90% of tests are essentially false positives. The experts in that article said a Ct of around 30 would be more appropriate for indicating that someone could be contagious – those for whom contact tracing would make sense.
Just a few days earlier, the CDC had updated its guidelines to discourage testing for asymptomatic individuals. It can only be assumed that the rationale for this was that some honest bureaucrat figured out the testing was needlessly sensitive. He or she has probably been demoted.
This change was preceded by a July update that discouraged retesting for recovered patients. The rationale for the update was that viral debris could be detected using the PCR test for 90 days after recovery. The same would be true for some period of time if an individual had an effective immune response and never got sick. Existing immunity from exposure to other coronaviruses has been well documented. These are many of your “asymptomatic” cases.
However, due to political pressure and corporate media tantrums, the new guidance on testing was scrapped, and testing for asymptomatic individuals is now recommended again. Doctors do not receive the Ct information from the labs to make a diagnostic judgment. Neither the CDC nor the FDA has put out guidelines for an accurate Ct to diagnose a contagious illness accurately.
Hence, our current “casedemic.” Positive tests as they are counted today do not indicate a “case” of anything. They indicate that viral RNA was found in a nasal swab. It may be enough to make you sick, but according to the New York Times and their experts, probably won’t. And certainly not sufficient replication of the virus to make anyone else sick. But you will be sent home for ten days anyway, even if you never have a sniffle. And this is the number the media breathlessly reports.
A month later, Dr. Pascal Sacré, explained in great detail how all current propaganda on the COVID-19 pandemic is based on an assumption that is considered obvious, true and no longer questioned: Positive RT-PCR test means being sick with COVID.
This assumption is misleading. Very few people, including doctors, understand how a PCR test works.
In mid-November, none other than he who should not be questioned – Dr. Anthony Fauci – admitted that the PCR Test’s high Ct is misleading:
“What is now sort of evolving into a bit of a standard,” Fauci said, is that “if you get a cycle threshold of 35 or more … the chances of it being replication-confident are minuscule.”
“It’s very frustrating for the patients as well as for the physicians,” he continued, when “somebody comes in, and they repeat their PCR, and it’s like [a] 37 cycle threshold, but you almost never can culture virus from a 37 threshold cycle.”
So, I think if somebody does come in with 37, 38, even 36, you got to say, you know, it’s just dead nucleotides, period.”
So, if anyone raises this discussion as a “conspiracy”, refer them to Dr.Fauci.
In response to this and the actual “science”, Florida’s Department of Health (and signed off on by Florida’s Republican Governor Ron deSantis), decided that for the first time in the history of the pandemic, a state will require that all labs in the state report the critical “cycle threshold” level of every COVID-19 test they perform.
All of which leads us to today’s announcement from The FDA…
The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) is alerting patients and health care providers of the risk of false results… with the Curative SARS-Cov-2 test.
And why does this matter?
Well it’s simple – this is how the establishment can show Joe Biden’s plan is miraculously rescue the world.
We explained the “fake rescue” plan in October.
The Fake Rescue
Biden will issue national standards, like the plexiglass barriers in restaurants he spoke about during the debate, and pressure governors to implement mask mandates using the federal government’s financial leverage (NOTE: his 100-day mask-wearing ‘mandate’ is already in play).
Some hack at the CDC or FDA will issue new guidance lowering the Ct the labs use, and cases will magically start to fall.
In reality, the change will only eliminate false positives, but most Americans won’t know that.
Good old Uncle Joe will be the hero, even though it is Deep-State actors in the health bureaucracies who won’t solve a problem with testing they have been aware of for months. TDS is a heck of a drug.
So, there you have it folks… First Fauci, then WHO, now FDA all admit there is malarkey in the PCR Tests, but have – until now, done nothing about it… allowing the daily fearmongering of soaring “cases” to enable their most twisted 1984-esque controls.
All that’s needed now is for one of these estemeed groups to decide to cut the Ct for a “positive” PCR Test to say 15x or 20x and suddenly, we are rescued from the “Dark Winter” as Biden’s plan slashes the positive case count dramatically… we are saved.
As an aside, this also clearly explains the disappearance of the “flu” during this season as the plethora of high Ct PCR Tests supposedly pointing to a surge in COVID are nothing of the sort.
As Stephen Lendman noted previously, claiming “lockdowns stopped flu in its tracks, (outbreaks) plummet(ting) by 98% in the United States” ignored that what’s called COVID is merely seasonal influenza combined with false positives (extremely high Ct) from PCR-Tests.
And for that reason, the great 2020 disappearing flu passes largely under the mass media’s radar. Media proliferated mass deception and power of repetition get most people to believe and having successfully “killed the flu”, they will now do the same with COVID… and, if allowed by our betters, we will all return to the new normal they desire.

It really feels like a manufactured, Biden/ CCCP, pandemic. So if Trump wins they will ramp it up higher. With Biden it disappears but vaccines will be rammed on to us every year and of course every 4 years, come election, another pandemic.

The “new strain” of covid19 is to cover the vaccine causing harm. The vaccine plus common cold equals life threatening cytokine storm.

So true, they can just blame on the new virus and sell more vaccines. Perpetual circle of death.

Dependant on how immunity is effected any condition might illicit such a reaction.
It will also present camouflage for deleterious ggggg or other EM effects.
The right to life is the foremost right of each individual on the planet.
From that inalienable right stems further rights.
Those of volition.
If any of our inherent rights are violated, then they are not rights.
Presently it seems we are slaves.
Since we are not free.

From the referenced article…
“The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) is alerting patients and health care providers of the risk of false results, particularly false negative results”
If anything the article is making the case that there are more positive cases that are not being recorded. Tyler misleads us into thinking the opposite.

The author got the FDA announcement 180 degrees wrong. The FDA warned against false NEGATIVE tests coming out of one testing company and urged those getting those negative results to be retested. There was no inference that the test itself was inaccurate – just that it was being administered incorrectly by the company mentioned (Curative) and false negative results were being reported as a result of the incorrect administration of the test. Curative has stated it believes its administration of the test and the negative test results were in accordance with guidelines and accurate.
The quotation given omitted the word ‘negative’ after the word ‘false’ and the real quotation reads in full as follows: “The Food and Drug Administration on Monday issued an alert to patients and healthcare providers warning them of a risk of false negative results with a SARS-CoV-2 laboratory-based test from San Dimas, California-based Curative. The agency asserted that the test . . . must be performed in accordance with its labeling to ensure correct results.”
Articles like this undermine the credibility of information relayed by the site – this was not opinion, but reported as fact.

No, the author got is quite right. The very simple fact that the virus has never been isolated, cultured, or shown to cause disease, a la Roberts Postulates, indicates that they have no Gold Standard with which to design anything of any kind.
Covid-19 was syndrome of seven plus symptoms that were very variable. That in itself suggests that there were several viruses working at once and randomly. The viruses came and went with the flu season and we are no into the new flu season. The crappy fuzzy PCR test is simply detecting the new flu season salad of viruses. An infections virus burns through the population and moves on, it does not lurk in the environment waiting to attack people.
The contention that you could get the same virus twice in the same year is a joke. What they are telling you is that the PCR test is nonspecific and might detect different viruses you might get. This is like having a guy with really bad eyesight try to identify wolves in the forest as if his life depended on it. He would produce many false sightings.
With the current group of not-ready-for-primetime vaccines, they again simply cannot be specific for a single virus, because for all intents and purposes the virus never existed. Sure the Covid-19 syndrome existed but not a single virus. Then, they are telling us that with the vaccine, you might still contact the virus and even transmit it, which requires that the virus reproduces successfully in your body. This is a double speak way of saying that the vaccine does not work, PERIOD.
It is interesting to see documents from Europe that can be accessed from government sources indicating patents and products regarding Covid-19 back in 2015 and 2017. It does add to the scamdemic of this flu season. The PCR test, fraud, the antibody test, fraud, the vaccines, frauds. SO, what else is new?

Lots of talk about the Ct number, but what about the nonspecificity of the primers in the test? The PCR test picks up coronaviruses in general, rhinovirus, and even some human sequences, so a large majority of the tests, regardless of Ct number are false positives.
With this low specificity, even with a low CT number, there is a good chance you are negative for C-19, a virus that has actually never been isolated, cultured, and shown to cause disease. Why would that be? Because no one anywhere has sequenced the virus because it has NEVER been isolated in pure form. The test is based on a sequence that is >99% cobbled up form virus sequence database, starting with 37 base pairs to then fabricate the other 30,000 base pairs. That is why the PCR test is nonspecific.
There is mention above that the virus could not be cultured from low Ct tests. The point here is that no one has ever cultured this virus nor have they cultured all the other viruses that might be present and nor have they a way to tell them apart even if they were able to culture them. Efforts to culture viruses from human “isolates” (basically a nasal swab) in the past year have been mostly failures as they will not grow on human cell lines. Wow.
Furthermore, as there is no Gold Standard virus culture or source, there is no way that the PCR test, antibody test or vaccines are specific for anything. It is completely and totally impossible to design a valid test or vaccine of any kind when you do not have the virus. Wow. The word is “scam.”
The “resurgence” of “cases” currently is simply the arrival of the new flu season salad of viruses being detected by the crappy nonspecific PCR test. They are counting in the trust and ignorance of the public. This test is the entire basis of this whole scamdemic and fraud and damage in so many ways against humanity.

Absolutely. The ignorance of people is astounding. And the real crime is the 5000+ individuals and corporations profiting from herd ignorance.
The globalist corporations that made us sick—on multiple levels—are the same ones supporting lockdowns, censoring truth, and have magically come up with a cure (then they say “just kidding it is only reducing symptoms—-keep suffocating yourselves and isolating”. All based an 100% crock of bullshit

The Cycle Count is important and I’m sure it’s being manipulated BUT the link given to an FDA report about False results is, if you read it, concentrated on False Negatives. There is no indication in that report that the FDA is worried about False Negatives. The article by Tyler suggests some Road to Damascus moment whereby the FDA says we have got it wrong. I don’t see that anywhere in the report.

The Robert Koch Institute states Covid-19 is clinically defined by “respiratory symptoms of any severity”.
That means medically that Covid 19 is every flu infection, every cough, every allergy, every pneumonia and every cold.
I personally always cough at home if the air in my place gets a bit too cold, so cold air in my case is covid 19. I also have a stomach acid problem and when it burns my esophagus I get a cough, which would under today’s definition be covid 19.
I’m not saying there is not one or a number of new corona viruses out of China or the EU, and if so all of them are also Covid 19.
That’s how you create a panic pandemic, and worldwide persecution of small business people and their workers and people who attend church or family gatherings etc.

Isn’t there an obvious way to use the PCR test? Limit the cycles to 25 and if somebody tests positive, test them again the next day and if the cycles are lower only then treat the person as positive.
