principiascientificinternational--2020-04-01--A Pandemic Manufactured from Poor Diagnoses & Fear

This article is intended for close study .
I urge you not to jump to an early conclusion about what I ’ m proposing here .
For example , I ’ m not ruling out the engineering of a virus .
But an unusual twist is involved .
This article is also part of a larger position .
That position can be defined as : • AUTOMATICALLY ASSUMING THE SO-CALLED EPIDEMIC IS CAUSED BY A VIRUS IS INCORRECT .
• DON ’ T CLOSE DOWN POSSIBILITY IN ANY ASPECT OF YOUR LIFE .
Among other subjects , this article comments @ @ @ @ @ @ @ is a modified weaponized germ from a lab , either deliberately or accidentally released .
A general comment : weaponizing a virus as an instrument for causing widespread destruction faces a significant barrier .
From the get-go , viruses mutate very quickly as they replicate .
Therefore , the criminals wouldn ’ t maintain the viral structure they started with .
Ensuring continued lethality would therefore appear to be impossible .
Then there is this : I fully understand that researchers in certain labs are always fiddling and diddling with viruses .
That @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , in a given situation , is : are they successful at weaponization , even ignoring the rapid mutation factor I just mentioned ?
THERE IS A MAJOR DIFFERENCE BETWEEN : THEY TRIED TO WEAPONIZE A CORONAVIRUS IN LABS , AND THEY SUCCEEDED AND RELEASED IT .
EVIDENCE FOR THE FORMER , NO MATTER HOW CONVINCING , IS NOT EVIDENCE OF THE LATTER .
Anything is possible , but so far , what I see is this : when I add up all the reasons people are sick and dying , I don @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the basis .
I ’ ve detailed , in past articles , all the Chinese cases who have been diagnosed for no other reason than they have pneumonia , a traditional disease of major proportions in China .
Studies estimate that roughly 300,000 citizens die of it every year .
Which means there are millions of Chinese people who have develop pneumonia each year .
Furthermore , the Chinese government quickly abandoned the idea of testing for the purported coronavirus—favoring instead , CT scans of the lungs .
A finding of pneumonia was @ @ @ @ @ @ @ epidemic case.
” That is absurd on its face .
Pneumonia has many causes , none of which requires a new virus .
Then we have the cases in Italy , the second largest reservoir of the so-called epidemic .
Here , the deaths occur massively on the side of the elderly , who already have serious prior medical conditions , long term .
In the reports issued by the Italian government so far , the people dying are said to “ have the virus , ” but the conclusion is they ’ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ conditions .
The conventional wisdom , often spouted , is : “ the coronavirus strikes the elderly , who are less able than the young to ward it off.
” This is a misnomer , deployed to cover up the reality that the elderly are passing away , as they usually do , from the illnesses they already have—no need for a new virus .
I ’ ve also discussed deaths in Australia and the state of Washington .
Again , it ’ s elderly people .
As in Italy , add up @ @ @ @ @ @ @ those diseases with toxic medical drugs ; the fear engendered by the diagnosis of “ COVID ” ; sudden isolation from family and friends ; the use of breathing ventilators , which have their own set of adverse effects , including bacterial pneumonia ; and new treatment with toxic antiviral drugs , to “ fight the virus ” ; and you have a terribly potent array of factors which account for the elderly dying .
No need for a new virus .
As I ’ ve detailed in past articles , flu-like diseases @ @ @ @ @ @ @ of a flu virus ) are traditional in Europe and the US .
Their symptoms overlap the symptoms listed for so-called COVID .
In recent years , there have been huge numbers of such people with these flu-like illnesses , and many have died—before the emergence of the so-called COVID virus .
Again , no need for a unique new virus .
And as far as overall global case numbers of COVID are concerned , a large percentage of these people have been diagnosed purely on the basis of their symptoms , with @ @ @ @ @ @ @ diagnostic test , called PCR .
I ’ ll cover that test in a moment .
Suffice to say , it fails to prove illness is stemming from COVID virus or any virus—but it does create a picture of supposedly swelling case numbers .
In a recent article , I ’ ve quoted the literature of official public health authorities , who themselves admit the test has fatal flaws .
Then we have unexplained relatively small clusters of people who appear to be suddenly falling ill. A closer examination of these people is @ @ @ @ @ @ @ in fact , ARE “ sudden and unexplained.
” If they are , I would suggest investigating whether the rollout of new 5G wireless technology at 60GHz is occurring in those locales .
It is possible 5G is causing oxygen deprivation , among other serious effects .
And rather than an engineered virus—which has unpredictable effects owing to its rapid mutation—if we ’ re looking for sinister operations , I suggest that , to cause sensational alarm and bafflement and “ proof ” that a mysterious event is underway , the intentional seeding @ @ @ @ @ @ @ be the action undertaken .
The effects of chemicals are far more predictable in terms of intensity and duration , and if no one is specifically looking for them , they are undetectable .
Finally , in major cities of China ( e.g.
, Wuhan ) and Italy ( particularly in the north ) , highly toxic air quality has been far more than “ a serious problem ” for some years .
This alone would account for huge numbers of people suffering from all sorts of lung conditions , including pneumonia .
@ @ @ @ @ @ @ symptoms of the “ epidemic.
” In China , the mix of toxic pollutants in the air is unprecedented in human history , spanning both early and modern eras of industrialization .
Conclusion : All in all , I would say that , if a weaponized coronavirus has been achieved , and then released or accidentally leaked , it is not a success .
Far too much of what is being called COVID is explained by the causative factors I ’ ve just presented .
In fact , if we want to talk @ @ @ @ @ @ @ an easier technical job in the lab—the most successful operation would involve slightly altering a common coronavirus to cause nothing more than a common cold .
Then , with a “ self-fulfilling prophecy ” diagnostic test in hand , people all over the world would test positive ; many case numbers would thus be created ; and with the non-virus illness-causes I ’ ve just described , the illusion of a global pandemic would be stitched together—all leading to the real goal : LOCKDOWNS , economic destruction , and the further pacification of @ @ @ @ @ @ @ dependent than ever on governments and official authorities .
A dazed population guided into a heavily technocratic future—wall to wall surveillance , smart cities , Internet of Things , universal guaranteed income tied to social credit score .
Most importantly : Assigned energy quotas for every citizen .
CONTROL .
Moving on from biowar labs to ordinary labs , has the COVID virus ever actually been DISCOVERED and isolated there by proper procedures ?
As I ’ ve written in another article , COVID-19 lacks correct proof in that regard .
What I @ @ @ @ @ @ @ job—traditional electron microscope studies on HUNDREDS OF PATIENTS , in a side-by-side controlled test—was never done at the outset .
This is convenient , to say the least , if in fact a common coronavirus has been engineered to cause nothing more than a cold .
The absence of true isolation and discovery permits such a virus to slip in under the radar .
The widespread diagnostic test for the COVID virus now in use , called the PCR , falls far short of proving that ANY person is sick or will get @ @ @ @ @ @ @ have proposed a vetting process for the PCR—which should have been done decades ago—in order to show it works or doesn ’ t work in the real world .
This vetting procedure would be suggested by any college science student as obvious and necessary .
It has never been carried out .
It involves proving the test can determine that a huge quantity of virus , actively replicating in the human body , is present—and therefore , the patient would , in the real world , be sick .
Carrying out such a @ @ @ @ @ @ @ in a controlled and blinded setting , AND THEN SEEING WHETHER THE TEST DOES POINT TO ACTUALLY SICK PEOPLE , has never been done .
Therefore , claiming the test confirms that COVID virus is causing great damage is unsupported .
This , too , is quite convenient , if a common coronavirus that causes nothing more than a common cold has been engineered .
In that situation , you would want a diagnostic test that can ’ t predict or detect serious illness , because the virus doesn ’ t cause serious @ @ @ @ @ @ @ as a prop , to create the illusion of case numbers stemming from one source : a harmless COVID-19 VIRUS .
Now , let ’ s move on to the effects of propaganda .
People say : patients are sick and dying all over the world—so IT MUST BE THE VIRUS .
WHAT ELSE COULD IT BE ?
Aristotle worked out the fact that the effect does not prove the cause .
The effect ( people sick and dying ) does not prove the cause ( COVID virus ) .
And history matters @ @ @ @ @ @ @ We ’ ve seen dud epidemics in the past blamed on a virus , and yet , embarrassingly , the virus couldn ’ t be found .
BUT WHO CARES , PEOPLE SAY , moved by propaganda .
IT MUST BE THE VIRUS .
( See my articles on SARS and Swine Flu 2009 . )
—People sick , people dying .
How many people ?
Unknown .
Massive lockdowns of Chinese cities .
Citizens trying to escape .
For the global audience , this equals coronavirus , not because they know the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ point .
The virus is the cause because IT MUST BE .
WHAT ELSE COULD IT BE ?
When brutal air pollution in Wuhan obviously brings on lung disease ; and when the primary symptom of the coronavirus is supposed to be lung disease ; and when citizens of the city have been falling ill and dying from lung disease long before the virus appeared—does this matter ?
OF COURSE NOT .
IT MUST BE THE VIRUS .
Propaganda .
When governments and corporations have been using THE VIRUS as a cover story @ @ @ @ @ @ @ against populations , for decades and decades—does this matter ?
When previous so-called epidemics—for example , West Nile , SARS , Zika , and Swine Flu—turned out to be complete unproven duds—does this history matter ?
OF COURSE NOT .
IT HAS TO BE THE VIRUS .
WHAT ELSE COULD IT BE ?
A face on a television screen watched by millions of people says CORONAVIRUS .
Therefore , case closed .
In 2009 , in La Gloria , Mexico , on a giant commercial pig farm , pig feces and urine are @ @ @ @ @ @ @ in the sun .
These deposits are called lagoons .
They ’ re so large , you can see them from outer space .
Toxic chemicals are routinely sprayed and laid out like whipped cream on the lagoons .
Workers are falling ill. New workers are brought in to spray even more toxic chemicals .
Workers die .
Then the Centers for Disease Control sends in their tuned-up virus hunters to look for the germ causing the “ mysterious ” illness .
They claim to find a Swine Flu virus .
IT MUST @ @ @ @ @ @ @ IT BE ?
THE DECAYING PIG SHIT AND URINE ?
The layers of poisonous chemicals ?
Don ’ t be ridiculous .
Later , in the summer of 2009 , CBS investigative reporter Sharyl Attkisson discovers that the overwhelming percentage of tissue samples from US Swine Flu patients are coming back from labs with no sign of ANY KIND OF FLU .
The virus isn ’ t there .
And yet , of course , we have this , written in the summer of 2009 : From healthwyze.org : What do you know @ @ @ @ @ @ @ were reports that the Swine Flu Virus—which couldn ’ t even be found in the overwhelmingly number of US patients—was actually a biowarfare germ .
Sound familiar ?
Swine Flu was a DUD .
Another epidemic that was going to infect the world ?
West Nile Virus .
Another dud .
But here from an old whale.to article : And here , from an old article at rediff.com , a piece about another epidemic dud , SARS 2003 ( 800 people died out of 7 billion , and WHO researcher , Frank Plummer @ @ @ @ @ @ @ t even find the virus in all but a few Canadian patients ) : Sound familiar ?
And yet the “ epidemic ” was a dud .
I would take these duds , and the concomitant warnings of engineered pandemic viruses , as further evidence that , if any engineering was going on , it was the “ lite ” version I ’ ve described in reference to COVID-19 : the duds were previous attempts to stitch together the illusion of a pandemic—attempts that fell short of success , or were designed as @ @ @ @ @ @ @ we have now .
The ceaseless propaganda promoting “ deadly viruses ” is essential to creating the pandemic illusion…and sometimes you can see through the illusion in graphic terms .
Quite , quite clearly .
In 1987 , a doctor calls me , while I ’ m writing my first book , AIDS INC .
He tells me he ’ s built a small AIDS clinic where a group of poverty-stricken patients can rest in clean surroundings , eat nutritious food , and grow beans and sell them for a small amount of @ @ @ @ @ @ @ He ’ s given his patients no medical treatment .
He knows that THE VIRUS , HIV , is said to be a remorseless killer .
But , he tells me , all his patients have recovered ; they no longer have symptoms .
They ’ re healthy .
He ’ s puzzled , confused , and distraught .
He asks me , “ What should I do next ?
” He knows the AIDS drugs are highly toxic .
He senses that giving them to his now-healthy patients would bring on a @ @ @ @ @ @ @ according to the propaganda masquerading as science , IT MUST BE THE VIRUS .
WHAT ELSE COULD BE CAUSING THESE PEOPLE TO BECOME SICK IN THE FIRST PLACE ?
Drinking the water in their villages—water mixed directly with sewage ?
Hunger ?
Starvation ?
Toxic vaccines pushing their depleted immune systems over the edge of the cliff ?
Don ’ t be ridiculous .
IT MUST BE HIV .
In an interview , a famous New York doctor tells me all scientists agree that HIV is the cause of AIDS because , well @ @ @ @ @ @ @ agree can ’ t get their findings published .
He ’ s telling me all VISIBLE scientists agree .
Several years ago , during the Zika virus hysteria ( another dud epidemic , of microcephaly , that surely would “ decimate populations ” ) , researchers in the epicenter , in Brazil , report that only between 10 and 15 percent of Zika patients have any trace of the virus—they can ’ t find it in the other patients .
This amounts to a bald confession that Zika is eliminated as the cause @ @ @ @ @ @ @ no one listens .
IT MUST BE THE VIRUS .
WHAT ELSE COULD IT BE ?
Well , it turns out it could be ANY INJURY OF ANY KIND TO A PREGNANT MOTHER—causing her baby to be born with a smaller head and brain damage , called microcephaly .
But here , in a 2016 article from thesleuthjournal.com , we have this : “ It ’ s [ Zika virus ] being spread by genetically engineered mosquitos .
Is it the latest example of US biowarfare ?
America ’ s sordid history suggests @ @ @ @ @ @ @ in that fashion , it wasn ’ t working to cause disease .
It was a failure .
But as propaganda , it was a success .
There has been no surge in death rates from a pandemic across Europe anywhere .
And of course , the World Health organization hit the hysteria button at the time with their own brand of propaganda .
From marketwatch.com , January 28 , 2016 : Dud .
If WHO could squeeze out more fear , NOW , in 2020 , about an ever-expanding Zika crisis , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ ?
Even THEY ’ VE given up the ghost on that campaign .
Meaning : they achieved their goal of creating alarm and public acceptance of THE VIRUS one more time .
No need to go further for the moment .
The key event in the current COVID operation was the sudden Chinese government lockdown of 50 million citizens overnight in three major cities .
That was the signal the CDC and the World Health Organization received with open arms .
And they did sell it .
As I discovered in 1987 , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ basic epidemic con involves grouping all sorts of people and groups who are suffering from different traditional diseases , environmental toxicities , and certain new NON-VIRUS conditions UNDER ONE UMBRELLA LABEL .
And then saying they ’ re all sick because of one virus .
That is the central illusion .
Finally , I need to make a general comment about the effects of viruses on humans .
These effects have been vastly overrated .
Consider the proponents of the so-called “ hot zone ” hypothesis .
For many years , they ’ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ rainforests and traveling , in the modern age , to distant countries would cause horrific consequences—in the form of a cascade of MANY new diseases .
Why ?
Because the immune systems of people , unacquainted with these novel germs , would lack the capacity to ward them off .
But that prediction has not come to pass .
The hot zone advocates have also failed to mention that the reverse vector of travel should also result in massive epidemics : in other words , viruses which are routinely carried by Americans and @ @ @ @ @ @ @ native peoples in rainforests , since the “ more civilized ” people travel in great numbers into jungles .
The decimation has not come to pass .
Native peoples have been uprooted and damaged by industry , but they haven ’ t been wiped out by American or European viruses .
In fact , when you think about it , all countries and locales tend to have their own viruses which are endemic and harmless to locals , but when carried to other lands , should be wreaking havoc .
But they aren @ @ @ @ @ @ @ dead many times over .
But we aren ’ t .
The hot zone fear stories should also be dead by now .
But they still attract adherents .

A Pandemic Manufactured from Poor Diagnoses & Fear
Written by Jon Rappoport
This article is intended for close study. I urge you not to jump to an early conclusion about what I’m proposing here. For example, I’m not ruling out the engineering of a virus. But an unusual twist is involved.
This article is also part of a larger position. That position can be defined as:
AUTOMATICALLY ASSUMING THE SO-CALLED EPIDEMIC IS CAUSED BY A VIRUS IS INCORRECT.
THE TRUTH DOESN’T SUPPORT FEAR.
FEAR IS SELF-DEFEATING.
FEAR CLOSES DOWN POSSIBILITY.
DON’T CLOSE DOWN POSSIBILITY IN ANY ASPECT OF YOUR LIFE.
Among other subjects, this article comments on the hypothesis that the COVID-19 virus is a modified weaponized germ from a lab, either deliberately or accidentally released.
A general comment: weaponizing a virus as an instrument for causing widespread destruction faces a significant barrier. From the get-go, viruses mutate very quickly as they replicate. Therefore, the criminals wouldn’t maintain the viral structure they started with. Ensuring continued lethality would therefore appear to be impossible.
Then there is this: I fully understand that researchers in certain labs are always fiddling and diddling with viruses. That’s their job. The question, in a given situation, is: are they successful at weaponization, even ignoring the rapid mutation factor I just mentioned?
THERE IS A MAJOR DIFFERENCE BETWEEN: THEY TRIED TO WEAPONIZE A CORONAVIRUS IN LABS, AND THEY SUCCEEDED AND RELEASED IT. EVIDENCE FOR THE FORMER, NO MATTER HOW CONVINCING, IS NOT EVIDENCE OF THE LATTER.
Anything is possible, but so far, what I see is this: when I add up all the reasons people are sick and dying, I don’t see a new germ as the basis.
I’ve detailed, in past articles, all the Chinese cases who have been diagnosed for no other reason than they have pneumonia, a traditional disease of major proportions in China. Studies estimate that roughly 300,000 citizens die of it every year. Which means there are millions of Chinese people who have develop pneumonia each year. Furthermore, the Chinese government quickly abandoned the idea of testing for the purported coronavirus—favoring instead, CT scans of the lungs. A finding of pneumonia was sufficient for a diagnosis of an “epidemic case.” That is absurd on its face. Pneumonia has many causes, none of which requires a new virus.
Then we have the cases in Italy, the second largest reservoir of the so-called epidemic. Here, the deaths occur massively on the side of the elderly, who already have serious prior medical conditions, long term. In the reports issued by the Italian government so far, the people dying are said to “have the virus,” but the conclusion is they’re dying because of their prior medical conditions.
The conventional wisdom, often spouted, is: “the coronavirus strikes the elderly, who are less able than the young to ward it off.” This is a misnomer, deployed to cover up the reality that the elderly are passing away, as they usually do, from the illnesses they already have—no need for a new virus.
I’ve also discussed deaths in Australia and the state of Washington. Again, it’s elderly people. As in Italy, add up their long-term diseases; the treatment of those diseases with toxic medical drugs; the fear engendered by the diagnosis of “COVID”; sudden isolation from family and friends; the use of breathing ventilators, which have their own set of adverse effects, including bacterial pneumonia; and new treatment with toxic antiviral drugs, to “fight the virus”; and you have a terribly potent array of factors which account for the elderly dying. No need for a new virus.
As I’ve detailed in past articles, flu-like diseases (quite often, with no evidence of a flu virus) are traditional in Europe and the US. Their symptoms overlap the symptoms listed for so-called COVID. In recent years, there have been huge numbers of such people with these flu-like illnesses, and many have died—before the emergence of the so-called COVID virus. Again, no need for a unique new virus.
And as far as overall global case numbers of COVID are concerned, a large percentage of these people have been diagnosed purely on the basis of their symptoms, with no test, or via the accepted diagnostic test, called PCR.
I’ll cover that test in a moment. Suffice to say, it fails to prove illness is stemming from COVID virus or any virus—but it does create a picture of supposedly swelling case numbers. In a recent article, I’ve quoted the literature of official public health authorities, who themselves admit the test has fatal flaws.
Then we have unexplained relatively small clusters of people who appear to be suddenly falling ill. A closer examination of these people is necessary, to see whether they, in fact, ARE “sudden and unexplained.”
If they are, I would suggest investigating whether the rollout of new 5G wireless technology at 60GHz is occurring in those locales. It is possible 5G is causing oxygen deprivation, among other serious effects. And rather than an engineered virus—which has unpredictable effects owing to its rapid mutation—if we’re looking for sinister operations,
I suggest that, to cause sensational alarm and bafflement and “proof” that a mysterious event is underway, the intentional seeding of locales with little-known toxic chemicals would be the action undertaken. The effects of chemicals are far more predictable in terms of intensity and duration, and if no one is specifically looking for them, they are undetectable.
Finally, in major cities of China (e.g., Wuhan) and Italy (particularly in the north), highly toxic air quality has been far more than “a serious problem” for some years. This alone would account for huge numbers of people suffering from all sorts of lung conditions, including pneumonia.
Pneumonia is one of the cardinal listed symptoms of the “epidemic.” In China, the mix of toxic pollutants in the air is unprecedented in human history, spanning both early and modern eras of industrialization.
Conclusion: All in all, I would say that, if a weaponized coronavirus has been achieved, and then released or accidentally leaked, it is not a success. Far too much of what is being called COVID is explained by the causative factors I’ve just presented.
In fact, if we want to talk about engineered viruses—including what would probably be an easier technical job in the lab—the most successful operation would involve slightly altering a common coronavirus to cause nothing more than a common cold.
Then, with a “self-fulfilling prophecy” diagnostic test in hand, people all over the world would test positive; many case numbers would thus be created; and with the non-virus illness-causes I’ve just described, the illusion of a global pandemic would be stitched together—all leading to the real goal: LOCKDOWNS, economic destruction, and the further pacification of the population.
A bereft population more dependent than ever on governments and official authorities. A dazed population guided into a heavily technocratic future—wall to wall surveillance, smart cities, Internet of Things, universal guaranteed income tied to social credit score. Most importantly: Assigned energy quotas for every citizen. CONTROL.
Moving on from biowar labs to ordinary labs, has the COVID virus ever actually been DISCOVERED and isolated there by proper procedures?
As I’ve written in another article, COVID-19 lacks correct proof in that regard. What I believe is the best method for that job—traditional electron microscope studies on HUNDREDS OF PATIENTS, in a side-by-side controlled test—was never done at the outset.
This is convenient, to say the least, if in fact a common coronavirus has been engineered to cause nothing more than a cold. The absence of true isolation and discovery permits such a virus to slip in under the radar.
The widespread diagnostic test for the COVID virus now in use, called the PCR, falls far short of proving that ANY person is sick or will get sick. In other articles, I have proposed a vetting process for the PCR—which should have been done decades ago—in order to show it works or doesn’t work in the real world.
This vetting procedure would be suggested by any college science student as obvious and necessary. It has never been carried out. It involves proving the test can determine that a huge quantity of virus, actively replicating in the human body, is present—and therefore, the patient would, in the real world, be sick.
Carrying out such a test, on hundreds of patients, in a controlled and blinded setting, AND THEN SEEING WHETHER THE TEST DOES POINT TO ACTUALLY SICK PEOPLE, has never been done. Therefore, claiming the test confirms that COVID virus is causing great damage is unsupported.
This, too, is quite convenient, if a common coronavirus that causes nothing more than a common cold has been engineered. In that situation, you would want a diagnostic test that can’t predict or detect serious illness, because the virus doesn’t cause serious illness. The virus is only there as a prop, to create the illusion of case numbers stemming from one source: a harmless COVID-19 VIRUS.
Now, let’s move on to the effects of propaganda.
People say: patients are sick and dying all over the world—so IT MUST BE THE VIRUS. WHAT ELSE COULD IT BE? Aristotle worked out the fact that the effect does not prove the cause. The effect (people sick and dying) does not prove the cause (COVID virus).
And history matters. It offers clues and precedents. We’ve seen dud epidemics in the past blamed on a virus, and yet, embarrassingly, the virus couldn’t be found. BUT WHO CARES, PEOPLE SAY, moved by propaganda. IT MUST BE THE VIRUS. (See my articles on SARS and Swine Flu 2009.)
—People sick, people dying. How many people? Unknown. Massive lockdowns of Chinese cities. Citizens trying to escape. For the global audience, this equals coronavirus, not because they know the virus is the cause—proof is beside the point. The virus is the cause because IT MUST BE. WHAT ELSE COULD IT BE?
When brutal air pollution in Wuhan obviously brings on lung disease; and when the primary symptom of the coronavirus is supposed to be lung disease; and when citizens of the city have been falling ill and dying from lung disease long before the virus appeared—does this matter?
OF COURSE NOT. IT MUST BE THE VIRUS. Propaganda.
When governments and corporations have been using THE VIRUS as a cover story to obscure and explain away their crimes against populations, for decades and decades—does this matter?
When previous so-called epidemics—for example, West Nile, SARS, Zika, and Swine Flu—turned out to be complete unproven duds—does this history matter?
OF COURSE NOT. IT HAS TO BE THE VIRUS. WHAT ELSE COULD IT BE?
A face on a television screen watched by millions of people says CORONAVIRUS. Therefore, case closed.
In 2009, in La Gloria, Mexico, on a giant commercial pig farm, pig feces and urine are allowed to bake and steam and bubble in the sun. These deposits are called lagoons. They’re so large, you can see them from outer space. Toxic chemicals are routinely sprayed and laid out like whipped cream on the lagoons. Workers are falling ill.
New workers are brought in to spray even more toxic chemicals. Workers die. Then the Centers for Disease Control sends in their tuned-up virus hunters to look for the germ causing the “mysterious” illness. They claim to find a Swine Flu virus.
IT MUST BE THE VIRUS. WHAT ELSE COULD IT BE? THE DECAYING PIG SHIT AND URINE? The layers of poisonous chemicals? Don’t be ridiculous.
Later, in the summer of 2009, CBS investigative reporter Sharyl Attkisson discovers that the overwhelming percentage of tissue samples from US Swine Flu patients are coming back from labs with no sign of ANY KIND OF FLU. The virus isn’t there.
And yet, of course, we have this, written in the summer of 2009: From healthwyze.org:
“The U.S. Patent and Trademark Office has a patent for, Genetically Engineered Swine Influenza Virus and Uses Thereof (patent #8124101). It was filed in 2005 for approval. The makers of the human variant of the swine flu virus waited until the patent was finally approved in January of 2009, before unleashing the virus into the wild. The makers of the swine flu vaccine had begun the lengthy patenting process long before the swine flu supposedly existed, which means that the outbreak was no accident, and the virus is clearly not natural. Patents only apply to man-made items, and natural things cannot be patented. The virus conveniently went public only after its vaccine patent was approved, after patiently waiting 3 years for that to happen. The pandemic was declared just five months after the patent was approved, in June of 2009. The tremendous hysteria following the outbreak was promoted by the same groups who had invented this genetically engineered virus. The word ‘invented’ was actually used to describe the virus in the patent application.”
What do you know about that? Back then, there were reports that the Swine Flu Virus—which couldn’t even be found in the overwhelmingly number of US patients—was actually a biowarfare germ. Sound familiar? Swine Flu was a DUD.
Another epidemic that was going to infect the world? West Nile Virus. Another dud. But here from an old whale.to article:
“None of these theories [about West Nile] has deterred Vermont Senator Patrick Leahy from urging federal officials to determine if the introduction of WN virus is a terrorist attack. On September 12, 2002, Leahy declared: ‘I think we have to ask ourselves: Is it a coincidence that we’re seeing such an increase in WN virus – or is that something that’s being tested as a biological weapon against us’.”
Sound familiar?
And here, from an old article at rediff.com, a piece about another epidemic dud, SARS 2003 (800 people died out of 7 billion, and WHO researcher, Frank Plummer, told the press they couldn’t even find the virus in all but a few Canadian patients):
“The virus of atypical pneumonia, better known as SARS, or Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome, was created artificially, possibly as a bacteriological weapon, Sergei Kolesnikov, academician of the Russian Academy of Medical Sciences, told a press conference in the Siberian town of Irkutsk on Thursday, the Russian RIA Novosti news agency reported.” “According to Kolesnikov, the virus of atypical pneumonia is a synthesis of the viruses of measles and infectious parotiditis or mumps, the natural compound of which is impossible. This can be done only in a laboratory, he said.” “Kolesnikov added that in creating bacteriological weapons, a protective anti-viral vaccine is, as a rule, worked out at the same time, so a medicine for atypical pneumonia may soon appear.” “He did not, however, rule out the possibility that the virus could have spread accidentally as a result of “an unsanctioned leakage” from a biological weapons laboratory.”
Sound familiar? And yet the “epidemic” was a dud.
I would take these duds, and the concomitant warnings of engineered pandemic viruses, as further evidence that, if any engineering was going on, it was the “lite” version I’ve described in reference to COVID-19: the duds were previous attempts to stitch together the illusion of a pandemic—attempts that fell short of success, or were designed as smaller test runs leading up to what we have now.
The ceaseless propaganda promoting “deadly viruses” is essential to creating the pandemic illusion…and sometimes you can see through the illusion in graphic terms.
Quite, quite clearly.
In 1987, a doctor calls me, while I’m writing my first book, AIDS INC. He tells me he’s built a small AIDS clinic where a group of poverty-stricken patients can rest in clean surroundings, eat nutritious food, and grow beans and sell them for a small amount of money. This doctor is mainstream.
He’s given his patients no medical treatment. He knows that THE VIRUS, HIV, is said to be a remorseless killer. But, he tells me, all his patients have recovered; they no longer have symptoms. They’re healthy. He’s puzzled, confused, and distraught. He asks me, “What should I do next?”
He knows the AIDS drugs are highly toxic. He senses that giving them to his now-healthy patients would bring on a disaster. Oh but you see, according to the propaganda masquerading as science, IT MUST BE THE VIRUS. WHAT ELSE COULD BE CAUSING THESE PEOPLE TO BECOME SICK IN THE FIRST PLACE?
Drinking the water in their villages—water mixed directly with sewage? Hunger? Starvation? Toxic vaccines pushing their depleted immune systems over the edge of the cliff? Don’t be ridiculous. IT MUST BE HIV.
In an interview, a famous New York doctor tells me all scientists agree that HIV is the cause of AIDS because, well, the scientists who don’t agree can’t get their findings published. He’s telling me all VISIBLE scientists agree.
Several years ago, during the Zika virus hysteria (another dud epidemic, of microcephaly, that surely would “decimate populations”), researchers in the epicenter, in Brazil, report that only between 10 and 15 percent of Zika patients have any trace of the virus—they can’t find it in the other patients. This amounts to a bald confession that Zika is eliminated as the cause of disease in pregnant women. But no one listens. IT MUST BE THE VIRUS. WHAT ELSE COULD IT BE?
Well, it turns out it could be ANY INJURY OF ANY KIND TO A PREGNANT MOTHER—causing her baby to be born with a smaller head and brain damage, called microcephaly.
But here, in a 2016 article from thesleuthjournal.com, we have this: “It’s [Zika virus] being spread by genetically engineered mosquitos. Is it the latest example of US biowarfare? America’s sordid history suggests it.”
If it was being spread in that fashion, it wasn’t working to cause disease. It was a failure. But as propaganda, it was a success.
There has been no surge in death rates from a pandemic across Europe anywhere.
And of course, the World Health organization hit the hysteria button at the time with their own brand of propaganda. From marketwatch.com, January 28, 2016:
“The World Health Organization will convene an emergency committee in Geneva on Monday to discuss the mosquito-borne Zika virus, which the organization’s head said is spreading ‘explosively’ and which many doctors and health officials believe is linked to an unprecedented outbreak of babies born with small heads in Brazil…’The level of alarm is extremely high,’ WHO Director-General Margaret Chan said in remarks to the public-health agency’s executive board…WHO’s announcement underscores the speed with which a virus that began as an obscure tropical malady afflicting Africa and then several remote Western Pacific islands has transformed into a major international health concern, particularly in the Americas.”
Dud. If WHO could squeeze out more fear, NOW, in 2020, about an ever-expanding Zika crisis, don’t you think they would? Even THEY’VE given up the ghost on that campaign. Meaning: they achieved their goal of creating alarm and public acceptance of THE VIRUS one more time. No need to go further for the moment.
The key event in the current COVID operation was the sudden Chinese government lockdown of 50 million citizens overnight in three major cities. That was the signal the CDC and the World Health Organization received with open arms.
“Well, they broke the ice. This is what we’ve been waiting for. This is now a model we can sell. Lockdowns on a massive scale.”
And they did sell it.
As I discovered in 1987, when I was researching AIDS, the basic epidemic con involves grouping all sorts of people and groups who are suffering from different traditional diseases, environmental toxicities, and certain new NON-VIRUS conditions UNDER ONE UMBRELLA LABEL. And then saying they’re all sick because of one virus. That is the central illusion.
Finally, I need to make a general comment about the effects of viruses on humans. These effects have been vastly overrated. Consider the proponents of the so-called “hot zone” hypothesis. For many years, they’ve claimed that viruses coming out of rainforests and traveling, in the modern age, to distant countries would cause horrific consequences—in the form of a cascade of MANY new diseases.
Why? Because the immune systems of people, unacquainted with these novel germs, would lack the capacity to ward them off. But that prediction has not come to pass.
The hot zone advocates have also failed to mention that the reverse vector of travel should also result in massive epidemics: in other words, viruses which are routinely carried by Americans and Europeans—and cause them no harm—should be decimating native peoples in rainforests, since the “more civilized” people travel in great numbers into jungles.
The decimation has not come to pass. Native peoples have been uprooted and damaged by industry, but they haven’t been wiped out by American or European viruses.
In fact, when you think about it, all countries and locales tend to have their own viruses which are endemic and harmless to locals, but when carried to other lands, should be wreaking havoc.
But they aren’t. We should all be dead many times over. But we aren’t.
The hot zone fear stories should also be dead by now. But they still attract adherents.

Citizen reporters using smart phones to video record evidence are showing empty, or near empty hospitals in New York, Hawaii, California and Kentucky directly contradicting mainstream news claims such hospitals are crowded with coronavirus cases.
Video proof supports revelations from other countries, including Germany’s Berlin Hospital.
Check out the footage here:
On March 27th CBS reported that Elmhurst Hospital, Queens, NY was seeing ‘lines of people‘ – but videos from citizen reporters made the next day reveals there are no lines – only emptiness:
Above: No ‘lines of sick patients’ waiting to be admitted to the hospital
CBS news had referred to Elmhurst Hospital as being the “pandemic epicenter” for New Yorkers. However, the new footage provided is exposing CBS claims as fake news.
Above: no patients sat waiting to be seen by doctors
CBS news reporter, Reena Roy, explains to viewers that the multiple rows of barricades set up outside the entrance of Elmhurst Hospital “are to keep order here because so many have been lining up every day to get tested.”
However, actual footage afterwards reveals an empty sidewalk.
Meanwhile, over at Belleview Hospital, NY city… more emptiness and no apparent COVID19 patients. All this despite the Mayor and Governor declaring New York’s hospitals have been turned into “war zones.”
According to Fox News:
“Cases of COVID-19 in New York surged to 66,497 — the highest in the nation — and deaths mounted to 1,218. The hotspot of the virus, New York reported an over 11 percent increase in patients who tested positive for coronavirus, amounting to 6,751 cases on just Monday.”
But at the Brooklyn Hospital Center we again see that the same pattern – deserted streets, no patients, no war zone – is repeated, as reported by local resident, Todd Starnes (March 28, 2020). Starnes, giving a voice over on his video footage tells us:
“You’re hearing one thing on the mainstream media and here is what it is like in reality. But as you can see, not much happening and this is the hospital that serves thousands and thousands of people in Brooklyn. There are no lines of people or mass chaos as the mainstream media is telling you”
“No Action” At Refrigerated Truck Temporary Morgue
Remember seeing this image (below) on mainstream news?
Starnes then shockingly exposes the big lie about that refrigerated truck ‘the temporary morgue’ parked outside the Brooklyn hospital. Viewers have been told it is intended for all the extra dead bodies from the pandemic. But where are they?
Above image: Starnes films within feet of the ‘temporary morgue’ truck and reveals there is nothing going on there.
A grim-faced CBS reporter. Reena Roy, tells her gullible viewers the city’s ambulances were working hard rushing COVID19 patients to the hospitals,. However, a day later footage exposes her claims as a lie. Instead, we see many ambulances in parked up in lines, yes, there are some drivers playing on their phones, but no other apparent activity.
Meanwhile over at the Urgent Care Center, Hawaii where TV news reports had spoken of “lots people waiting in line for hours” we see….. one person:
At Norton East Hospital, Mobile, Kentucky we see the same pattern of media lies being exposed by citizens using video recordings to reveal the true extent of mainstream media lies and fakery.
Another honest citizen’s video voice over confirms what our eyes are telling us:
“As you can see, the ER is not overwhelmed. Where are all these ‘sick people’ at?”
Baptist East Hospital, Mobile, Kentucky reveals the same picture:
“Nobody waiting in the waiting area, just two nurses sitting at the desk and the quarantine test, where people take the test, was also empty” (image, below)
Above: Quarantine tent without patients or medical equipment
Below, just two people waiting at Kings County Hospital, NYC:
Alicia Cashman:
“I can also state that my son went to a local clinic in Davenport, IA after an acute injury from working out. According to him, it was dead in there as well.”
Meanwhile, at Cedar Sinai Hospital, Los Angeles, California where administrators claimed they were “burning through cash like mad” we are again met with empty scenes.
image above: One man outside and no lines of patients
We anticipate that, as per usual, Youtube censors will remove such footage. As a precaution many videos are now backed up on Brighteon.com. https://www. brighteon.com/channel/dan…

principiascientificinternational--2020-04-01--Coronavirus: A Perspective from Britain Part 3

Many people being forced to remain at home have already lost their jobs , and many thousands more are likely to suffer the same fate .
Many small and medium-sized companies and businesses , having been forced to close , will go bankrupt and never re-open .
Sky News Australia reported on the 31st March the economic shut down of Australia could drive the country into its highest debt since World War II .

We are on the way to becoming a Police State where people live in fear @ @ @ @ @ @ @ like in Nazi Germany and many former Soviet states .
Being a former Neighbourhood Watch coordinator , I get emails from the West Midlands Police Neighbourhood Alert system , and had one yesterday giving a confidential phone number to report suspected cases of domestic abuse arising from enforced stays at home .

The ‘ official ’ Worldometer website is not being updated properly .
For @ @ @ @ @ @ @ from 135 in over a week , which from the number of deaths , suggests a 93 % mortality rate .
Either the UK recovery figure is woefully inaccurate , or people with ‘ mild ’ cases are dying in droves .
I was told of a more accurate website yesterday , called covidly.com .
That shows 153 recoveries in the UK as of today , and 143 as of yesterday .
I would venture that recovery figure is still artificially low .
Check out the website here : covidly.com A friend of @ @ @ @ @ @ @ middle England told me they have seen far fewer cases than they had been led to expect .
The Netherlands appear to be slightly better off if that is the right expression , with the website showing 250 recoveries and 1039 deaths , which equates to an 81 % mortality rate .
Up to two days ago , Worldometer was showing just three recoveries , which is statistically a 100 % mortality rate .
That is clearly absurd .
On Faceache in the last week or so were various images of food found @ @ @ @ @ @ @ it ’ s ‘ use by ’ date .
Birmingham City Council have reported a 30 % increase in food waste seen in refuse bins .
This is obviously from those selfish idiots who had hoarded food and now haven ’ t eaten it quickly enough .

It seems the Worldometer numbers are only being selectively updated , and with the number of mainstream media outlets and eco-fascists praising the shutting down of economies , I and an increasing number of others , are saying with this and the draconian ‘ lockdowns ’ being enforced , there is something much more insidious than a viral outbreak going on here .

The article also @ @ @ @ @ @ @ chief medical officer Dr Jenny Harries said restrictions on daily life could last for up to six months , with social distancing measures to remain in place even if the lockdown is lifted.

China , with 81,470 reported cases , 79,004 closed cases and 3,304 deaths as at 30th March gives us the most accurate estimate of the in-hospital mortality rate , this being 4 % ( 3,304/79,004 ) .
But this is only the in-hospital mortality rate .
Let us suppose that for every positive-testing hospital admission one case decided to stay at home and fend off the virus because it @ @ @ @ @ @ @ means our closed case count effectively jumps to 79,004 + 81,470 = 160,474 and the death rate halves to 2 % – still a potent scourge .
Let us now suppose that for every hospital admission 10 cases decided to stay at home and fend off the virus because it wasn ’ t clobbering them .
That means our closed case count jumps to 79,004 + 814,700 = 893,704 and the death rate plummets to 0.4 % , which is now on par with a serious ‘ flu outbreak .
Let us now @ @ @ @ @ @ @ cases decided to stay at home and fend off the virus because it wasn ’ t clobbering them .
That means our closed case count jumps to 79,004 + 8,147,000 = 8,226,004 and the death rate plummets to 0.04 % , which is now on par with a mild ‘ flu outbreak .
The question remains as to how many people remain at home and are thus not included in the official figures .
To my knowledge no health authority is trying to estimate this and yet it is the most critical data @ @ @ @ @ @ @ no idea whether the true mortality rate across the population as a whole is 4 % or 0.04 % .
I hope people understand the game that is being played.
’ It should be remembered the World Health Organisation says between 250,000 and 600,000 die every year around the world from normal flu .
As of the time of writing , there have been just over 42,000 deaths worldwide attributed to the Covid virus .
This seems rather relevant at the moment .

That is clearly absurd.
On Faceache in the last week or so were various images of food found in refuse bins after it had passed it’s ‘use by’ date. Birmingham City Council have reported a 30{154653b9ea5f83bbbf00f55de12e21cba2da5b4b158a426ee0e27ae0c1b44117} increase in food waste seen in refuse bins.

The original estimate of deaths in the UK was given as a quarter of a million, courtesy of Professor Neil Ferguson (the same man who predicted mass deaths from Mad Cow Disease, or New-variant Creutzfeldt-Jakob Disease to give it its correct title), which I thought was way too high. Last week that number was reduced to 20,000, and apparently reduced again a few days ago to 7500, though I have been unable to find any corroboration of this latest figure.

I learned a few days ago Worldometer was set up and is being managed by Johns Hopkins University in the US, and doubts have been raised about their handling of data and their motives, being associated with the political far-left.
Yesterday, The Independent website carried an article by a retired Supreme Court JP, who says the country has become caught up in ‘collective hysteria’, says the ‘cure’ may be much worse than the ‘problem’, and we are risking turning the UK into a Police State.
The article also states ‘It comes after the deputy chief medical officer Dr Jenny Harries said restrictions on daily life could last for up to six months, with social distancing measures to remain in place even if the lockdown is lifted.’ (Emphasis added)
The article can be seen here: www.independent.co.uk
A retired former senior government scientist I am acquainted with said a couple days ago about Worldometer:
‘…it doesn’t tell us how many reported cases are admitted to hospital. Neither does is tell us about early discharge mild cases. A slight oversight perhaps. I no longer trust this info and suspect its purpose is to instil fear rather than knowledge.’ (Emphasis added)
In a second post on Fb, he said:
‘At present every health authority in the world is reporting the total number of CoV-19 infected cases, the total number of deaths and the total recovered but this is less than half of the story as I hope to explain using plain English and a hand-held calculator.

Let us now suppose that for every hospital admission 10 cases decided to stay at home and fend off the virus because it wasn’t clobbering them. That means our closed case count jumps to 79,004 + 814,700 = 893,704 and the death rate plummets to 0.4{154653b9ea5f83bbbf00f55de12e21cba2da5b4b158a426ee0e27ae0c1b44117}, which is now on par with a serious ‘flu outbreak. Let us now suppose that for every hospital admission 100 cases decided to stay at home and fend off the virus because it wasn’t clobbering them. That means our closed case count jumps to 79,004 + 8,147,000 = 8,226,004 and the death rate plummets to 0.04{154653b9ea5f83bbbf00f55de12e21cba2da5b4b158a426ee0e27ae0c1b44117}, which is now on par with a mild ‘flu outbreak. The question remains as to how many people remain at home and are thus not included in the official figures. To my knowledge no health authority is trying to estimate this and yet it is the most critical data to collect. Without it we have no idea whether the true mortality rate across the population as a whole is 4{154653b9ea5f83bbbf00f55de12e21cba2da5b4b158a426ee0e27ae0c1b44117} or 0.04{154653b9ea5f83bbbf00f55de12e21cba2da5b4b158a426ee0e27ae0c1b44117}. I hope people understand the game that is being played.’
It should be remembered the World Health Organisation says between 250,000 and 600,000 die every year around the world from normal flu. As of the time of writing, there have been just over 42,000 deaths worldwide attributed to the Covid virus.
This seems rather relevant at the moment.

Is perception of the COVID19 pandemic worsening from incorrect medical diagnoses and poor access to data ?
And is the resultant junk science promulgating government strategies deadlier than the disease itself ?
Lucid minds have identified that the only thing a positive test can show is that there is ‘ some ’ coronavirus in a patient .

Group Think & Guess Work Taints COVID19 Medical Diagnoses
Written by John O'Sullivan
Is perception of the COVID19 pandemic worsening from incorrect medical diagnoses and poor access to data? And is the resultant junk science promulgating government strategies deadlier than the disease itself?
Lucid minds have identified that the only thing a positive test can show is that there is ‘some’ coronavirus in a patient. The standard test, itself, is not designed to measure the viral load, the key to determining disease causation.
Thus, a truism is emerging as the world endures social and economic shutdown: sick people with COVID19’s flu-like symptoms may be dying with coronavirus but not from coronavirus,
Start with the test methodology: As the Navy Times tells us:
“The current method looks for the virus’s genetic material (RNA) in a patient’s cells. In order to detect the presence of RNA in the patient’s sample, labs perform a test called reverse-transcription polymerase chain reaction. This method first converts any viral RNA to DNA. Then the DNA is replicated millions of times until there are enough copies to detect using a specialized piece of equipment called a quantitative PCR instrument. If genetic material from the virus is found in the sample, then the patient is infected with the virus.” [1]
It is the DNA replication step which precludes establishing the crucial metric: viral load, which we address later.
With such a lack of data to make any meaningful identification of all the COVID19 geographical ‘hot spots‘ in our towns and cities, it is impossible to apply precisely targeted quarantine measures.
So the whole world’s citizenry must endure mass house arrest. But as each week passes, the economic and social fallout may be far more damaging than the disease itself. Jobs disappearing, businesses failing, incomes obliterated, lives ruined.
In the United States alone, calculations show that there are currently 46 jobs lost for every confirmed case of COVID-19. [2]
All this is occurring due to a pandemic narrative built without reliable data. As has been admitted in the US by Dr Nancy Messonnier, of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention some tests are producing “inconclusive” results. [3]
What is clear is that the vast number of confirmed deaths are among patients who have co-morbidities (such as cancer, flu, pneumonia and other diseases associated with a weak immune system).
Sufferers who could just as likely have died from their other illnesses are being hastily and wrongly counted in the COVID19 numbers.
Why is there so much confusion in disease identification?
According to Isaiah (Shy) Arkin, a professor of Structural Biochemistry at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem COVID19 is:
“incredibly similar to SARS Coronavirus 1, that was responsible for the SARS epidemic in 2002-2003 [which killed 774 people worldwide]…SARS is the disease; SARS Coronavirus-1 is the virus that causes the disease. The current disease is called COVID-19 and the virus is called SARS Coronavirus-2.” [4]
And we never found a fix for SARS Coronavirus-1. That sounds apocalyptic.
“No, no, no. I don’t want to elicit any sort of panic. So, first of all, the new virus is very, very, very, very similar to the one that the research community found in 2002-2003. The thing that caused SARS in 2002-2003 is very, very similar — as I said, 80 percent identical — to the thing that’s causing COVID-19. So it’s not as if this is coming out of nowhere.” – Professor Arkin, [id.]
The real irony here is that overall morbidity may be lower this year for respiratory diseases generally – all part of the fog of (virus) war. What really won’t help is discovering that thousands of test kits have been contaminated with the virus prior to delivery. [5]
Another part of the fogginess is the startling statistic from Europe that the overall death toll this year is LOWER than other years. That is what the euroMOMO data from 24 EU countries reveals. [6]
graph: www.euromomo.eu
Is it not then a reasonable inference – with the backdrop of LOWER overall deaths this year – that COVID19 is likely being mistakenly misdiagnosed in place of the more ‘normal’ seasonal pathogens which present very similar symptoms?
Adding to the murk is that hospitals are performing far fewer autopsies than they did decades ago. So much so, that it is reliably reported that “more than 70,000 people die in U.S. hospitals every year with major missed diagnoses.” [7]
Bodies are being buried/cremated with no proven cause of death. No one really knows the numbers. It is guesswork.
Getting us even more clouded is that the widely used PCR test is very sensitive. You may get a ‘positive’ and have genuinely been exposed, but not have any symptoms. Compounding the issue is that there is no evidence that COVID19, or any other variant of a pathogenic virus particle, has been isolated.
Some experts argue ELISA testing needs to be happening as well. But Elisa test is controversial. There is an argument that specific antibodies cannot be attributed to specific virus particles because isolation is not possible. All methods are indirect and therefore not provable.
The BBC, not surprisingly, is dutifully backing mass societal shutdown during the pandemic. This is despite their own admissions the tests are problematic and results are showing too many negatives, when positives for COVID19 should be counted.
As BBC reporter, James Gallagher, reveals in ‘Are coronavirus tests flawed?’ [8]
“Meanwhile, officials in the epicentre of the epidemic, Hubei province, China, have started counting people with symptoms rather than using the tests for final confirmation.”
Do you see how medics overwhelmed with cases react: “counting symptoms rather than relying on tests.”
A study in the journal Radiology also showed such tests were unreliable anyway and thus undermining doctors’ confidence in them. [9]
The BBC’s James Gallagher then asks this question: What are these tests and is there a problem with them?
Gallagher explains, affirming what the Navy Times already told us (above):
“They work by looking for the genetic code of the virus. A sample is taken from the patient. Then, in the laboratory, the virus’s genetic code (if it’s there) is extracted and repeatedly copied [emphasis added], making tiny quantities vast and detectable. These “RT-PCR” tests, widely used in medicine to diagnose viruses such as HIV and influenza, are normally highly reliable. “They are very robust tests generally, with a low false-positive and a low false-negative rate,” Dr Nathalie MacDermott, of King’s College London, says.” [id.]
But a glaring omission is made in the above. Neither Dr MacDermott or James Gallagher explains that it is because of the test’s need to ‘repeatedly copy’ the virus’s genetic code that the actual viral load is thereby rendered incalculable.
In short, the tests cannot tell us how many viruses are in the sample. A higher viral burden or viral load often correlates with the severity of an active viral infection.
Moreover, in the vast majority of reported cases of COVID19 there is co-morbidity. That is, other illnesses afflicting the patient at the very same time – the majority of deceased patients were at or around normal lifespan (75-80 years of age).
While there exist other tests to standardize the “weight” or value of comorbid conditions, no one test is as yet recognized as a standard.
And for sure, during the current pandemic hospitals are pressed for time and resources to perform any such additional tests. Another problem, particularly in the US, is over-the-phone diagnosis, which lends itself to skewed data, as reported here:
“Doctors classifying their ill patients with 2 different codes – one code is Covid-19 positive the other code is a general flu including Covid-19 – those that are told to quarantine themselves for 14 days over the phone by their doctor. Both are being counted in Covid-19 cases. [emphasis added] Those that are dying of undetermined causes are having Covid-19 tests ordered upon death with results coming a week or two later. They are being counted as deaths for Covid-19 when causes of death is filled out.” – Dr.Shiva Ayyadurai (an MIT PhD in Biological Engineering) [10]
Medical professionals thus may feel compelled to surrender to the powerful media-driven narrative. Data is incomplete, gaps get filled by guesswork and group think. Thereby, the prevailing narrative is re-affirmed in a Catch-22. Witness the self-fulfilling prophecy.
Does any of this sound like the man-made global warming controversy which blames the trace gas carbon dioxide as our planet’s climate control knob?
“Bad news sells.”
As with the prevailing man-made global warming narrative the drivers of the narrative are UN official bodies. With climate change we get the UN IPCC. With COVID19 we have the discredited World Health Organisation (WHO).
So, the mainstream media (as it does in complicity with the IPCC) resorts to their usual hyperbole and will play on our subjectivity and emotion which eventually overrides medical prudence.
Doctors will become more susceptible to judge that when patients exhibit COVID19 symptoms (essentially the same symptoms as flu and pneumonia) they should apply the precautionary principle i.e. ‘play safe’ and simply register all such patients as suffering from COVID19.
Certainly, the climate doomsayers may be taking a back seat for now but their playbook of stoking fear and alarm for the purpose of diminishing our economic and social freedoms remains at work.
As the group think contagion continues we should remember these words from influential scientist, Carl Sagan (image, above):
