thewashingtonstandard--2020-12-21--COVID-19 Pt. 4: The “Test” That Changed The World is Deeply Flawed

It ’ s hard to imagine that a single test could change the world so drastically , especially when the test itself is riddled with problems .
Scientists are calling for the retraction of the original protocol used in the Covid-19 tests .
The New York Times even raised red flags about it , and Dr. Anthony Fauci himself has said that if the cycle threshold is set too high , it will pick up dead nucleotides , which causes false positives .
Once people understand that one of the biggest reasons why 90 % of those who test positive @ @ @ @ @ @ @ tests themselves were not developed with accurate science , the world will be infuriated .
These numbers are being used as the pulse of our society , and when deaths from other causes , who test positive for Covid , are being counted in the death toll and lockdowns are being based on this , it is criminal .
Part one of this 5-part report explained the reality of Covid hospitalizations , the falsehoods , and the hyperbole , when in fact there were far more hospitalizations from the flu season of 2017-2018 @ @ @ @ @ @ @ is hiding and manipulating the death toll , in large part , through grouping deaths under “ PIC ” which represents pneumonia , influenza , and covid .
Part three not only broke down the true nursing home and long term care facilities data points , but showed how they are documenting anyone who tests positive at time of death as a Covid death , even if they died from another cause such as a gunshot wound .
Dr. Deborah Birx from the White House Covid Task Force stated this herself.
’ • @ @ @ @ @ @ @ and EUA ’ s was formed 10 months prior to Covid hitting the states • There has never been a sample specimen of the alleged virus purified and isolated • The inventor of PCR , Kary Mullis , along with numerous other scientists have always said that PCR should not be used for medical diagnostics • 54 studies with 77,758 participants finds household secondary attack rate ( chance an infected person will infect one or more people at home ) is 18 % if the index case is symptomatic and 0.007 % if @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the “ super spreader ” they alleged it to be • Scientists found 10 major scientific flaws at the molecular and methodological level with consequences for false positive results and are calling for retraction of original protocol for the RT-PCR tests • Doctors worldwide have spoken out against the alleged pandemic , the RT-PCR tests , and warn of the dangers of vaccines that have not met safety standards • 36-40 % of medical staff in two different surveys say they will not get the vaccines • Vaccines began rolling out last week @ @ @ @ @ @ @ adverse events and launched probe , and the FDA is investigating anaphylaxis shock and allergic reactions from the Pfizer vaccine The Task Force for Tests Was Formed Back in February 2019 Is it a mere coincidence that the FDA , CDC , and CMS launched a task force to facilitate rapid availability of diagnostic tests during public health emergencies 10 months prior to Covid hitting the states , or at least that ’ s how the story goes .
Never before has a task force such as this been formed that is specific @ @ @ @ @ @ @ tests .
In fact , the clinical laboratory community said that they were uncertain as to how to implement diagnostic tests once they received an EUA ( emergency use authorization ) , and meeting CLIA regulations under an EUA to allow labs to start testing specimens .
“ Time and time again , we ’ re reminded that disease knows no borders .
While our globalized world and modern transportation help promote economic prosperity , these features also facilitate the spread of emerging infectious diseases , ” said Chesley Richards , CDC ’ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ and Surveillance .
There Has Never Been A Sample Specimen of SARS-CoV-2 In April 2020 , Secretary of State Mike Pompeo said the CCP “ censored those who tried to warn the world , it ordered a halt to testing of new samples , and it destroyed existing samples .
The CCP still has not shared the virus sample from inside of China with the outside world , making it impossible to track the disease ’ s evolution.
” In May , Pompeo said , “ China still has not provided samples of @ @ @ @ @ @ @ having its scientists share the virus ’ s genome online in January.
” In July , Pompeo said , “ They have destroyed samples ; they ’ ve taken journalists and doctors who were prepared to talk about this and not permitted them to do what nations that want to play on a truly global scale and global stage ought to do : be transparent and open and communicate and cooperate.
” The bottom line is that no one has ever performed a SARS-coV-2 isolation .
There is no proof that this alleged @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , in multiple countries .
These tests were not built on a “ gold standard.
” Many doctors , medical professionals , and scientists question whether the virus even exists .
That ’ s to say , that the actual small numbers of those who have gotten sick , may have a different virus that is no more threatening than the flu .
RT-PCR Test for Covid-19 and The Scientists Demanding Retraction “ Scientists are doing an awful lot of damage to the world in the name of helping it .
I don @ @ @ @ @ @ @ because I am ashamed of it.
” – Kary Mullis , Inventor of Polymerase Chain Reaction ( PCR ) and awarded Nobel Prize for it in 1993 Investigative journalist Celia Farber has interviewed biochemist Kary Mullis in the past , and has extensively covered PCR , the method being used in Covid-19 tests .
“ PCR , simply put , is a thermal cycling method used to make up to billions of copies of a specific DNA sample , making it large enough to study.
” This report is critical reading to understand @ @ @ @ @ @ @ in Covid tests and why Mullins and other scientists have said PCR should not be used for medical diagnostics .
Rather than a doctor listening to the lungs and physically assessing a patient , which is the standard method for clinical medicine , they have created the illusion that this is a highly contagious virus while directing people through drive-thru lines as though you are picking up a burger from McDonald ’ s , only instead they swab you at arms-length .
The visuals they have impressed upon people ’ s minds is @ @ @ @ @ @ @ in turn , has made it very easy to escalate positive “ cases ” even though 90 % of people aren ’ t even displaying symptoms .
Had any of those people visited a physician , they would have been told they were fine and never been tested .
Now , testing has become mandatory in nursing homes , hospitals , concerts , some places of business , and airports , which will ultimately continue the rise in positive cases due to false positives from a flawed test .
This is an older @ @ @ @ @ @ @ words , about Dr. Fauci and the scientific world : The Corman-Drosten PCR protocol for RT-PCR Covid-19 tests was published on January 23 , 2020 and is used in an estimated 70 % of all PCR test kits worldwide .
This was all based on theoretical sequences of the viral genome without a virus isolate , which till this day , doesn ’ t appear to exist .
On November 27 , 2020 an International Consortium of Scientists in Life Sciences published an external peer review titled ‘ Review Report Corman-Drosten et al @ @ @ @ @ @ @ major flaws and requesting a retraction .
10 Major Scientific Flaws at The Molecular and Methodological Level : Consequences for False Positive Results • Six unspecified wobbly positions introduce an enormous variability in the real world laboratory implementations • The test can not discriminate between the whole virus and viral fragments • A severe error is the omission of a Ct value at which a sample is considered positive and negative • The PRC products have not been validated at the molecular level • The PCR test contains neither a unique positive control @ @ @ @ @ @ @ a negative control to exclude the presence of other coronaviruses • The test design in the Corman-Drosten paper is so vague and flawed that one can go in dozens of different directions ; nothing is standardized and there is no standard operating procedure • The Corman-Drosten paper was not peer-reviewed making the test unsuitable as a specific diagnostic tool to identify the SARS-CoV-2 virus The Threshold : The CDC , WHO , Dr. Anthony Fauci , and The New York Times Want You To Understand How The Tests Work for Covid In an @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Times titled “ Your Coronavirus Test is Positive .
Maybe it Shouldn ’ t Be , ” they described how the cycle threshold used in tests that determine if a patient is infected , needs to be adjusted , stating “ most tests set the limit at 40 , a few at 37 .
This means that you are positive for coronavirus if the test process required up to 40 cycles , or 37 , to detect the virus .
Tests with thresholds so high may detect not just live virus but also @ @ @ @ @ @ @ pose no particular risk – akin to finding a hair in a room long after a person has left.
” 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 .
This was confirmed by White House Covid Task Force Dr. Anthony Fauci just one month prior , in an interview ( 4-min marker ) .
When asked “ Can we use @ @ @ @ @ @ @ PCR to say this patient is no longer infectious , can go home , go to a nursing facility , because physicians are really having a hard time with that ?
” In a landmark legal ruling in Portugal in November 2020 , a judge found that “ In view of current scientific evidence , this test shows itself to be unable to determine beyond reasonable doubt that such positivity corresponds , in fact , to the infection of a person by the SARS-CoV-2 virus , ” and added , “ the test @ @ @ @ @ @ @ of cycles used and the viral load present.
” The Portuguese judges cited a study conducted by “ some of the leading European and world specialists , ” which was published by Oxford Academic at the end of September .
It showed that if someone tested positive for Covid at a cycle threshold of 35 or higher , the chances of that person actually being infected is less than three percent , and that “ the probability of… receiving a false positive is 97 % or higher.
” In a December 7 , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Organization ( WHO ) , they admitted to issues with the tests after having received user feedback on elevated risk for false SARS-CoV-2 results .
In this notice , the WHO statedthat “ users of RT-PCR reagents should read the IFU carefully to determine if manual adjustment of the PCR positivity threshold is necessary to account for any background noise which may lead to a specimen with a high cycle threshold ( Ct ) value result being interpreted as a positive result .
The design principle of RT-PCR means that for patients with @ @ @ @ @ @ @ load ) , relatively few cycles will be needed to detect virus and so the Ct value will be low .
Conversely , when specimens return a high Ct value , it means that many cycles were required to detect virus .
In some circumstances , the distinction between background noise and actual presence of the target virus is difficult to ascertain .
IMPORTANT NOTE : If it wasn ’ t clear in all of the above references , different laboratories , states , and countries may have different sensitivity cutoffs .
In @ @ @ @ @ @ @ set the cycle cutoff at 33 , the rate of Covid-positive would be significantly smaller , and if they adjusted it down even further , it wouldn ’ t even exist .
All of this begins with the swab .
Just imagine peeing on a stick to determine if you are pregnant , only they had the ability to make adjustments to where it could show up positive even if you weren ’ t pregnant .
How devastating .
In addition to all of the above , the CDC has already stated that @ @ @ @ @ @ @ strains of coronavirus , meaning someone could have the common cold , and it is being recorded as COVID-19 .
The antibody tests have created a major conflict in actual test results overall .
After this information went viral in the public eye , the CDC completely reworded their original findings , and changed it to say “ Note : Other coronaviruses can not produce a positive result on a viral test , ” while forgetting to alter the sentence preceding it that clearly states “ there is a chance that a positive @ @ @ @ @ @ @ infection with a different virus from the same family of viruses ( called coronavirus ) .
Oops .
Thanks to the WaybackMachine , the original CDC statement shown in the first image is archived here .
Many people have come forward upset that their family members ’ deaths were being reported incorrectly on their death certificates .
Here is just one example of an individual who died of other causes , tested negative for Covid-19 three times , and yet it was put on their death certificate .
This is not surprising , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ money on this .
Becker ’ s Hospital Review broke down the finances by state back in April .
After understanding the section above on the threshold of the tests and how they are creating false positive , which likely explains why 90 % of all positive cases are asymptomatic , below are a handful of examples of false/positives that have been reported on .
Dr. Mike Yeadon , a Former Vice President and Chief Science Officer of the Allergy and Respiratory Research Unit for Pfizer for 16 years , in addition to @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , has said that half or “ almost all ” of tests for Covid-19 are false positive .
Legacy news media immediately jumped on disqualifying Yeadon by pointing to numbers of cases and deaths on Johns Hopkins site , which is hardly a disqualifier .
Pfizer declined to comment altogether .
CRITICAL LISTENING Doctors and Medical Professionals from all over the world have spoken out about Covid-19 , the tests , and the vaccines .
These professionals put a lot on the line to speak out , providing important information from the USA @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Ireland , Norway , Sweden , and the UK .
LISTEN .
They strongly worn against the dangers of the vaccines that are an experimental product , putting genetic material into humans , which are not proven safe or effective , and could in fact be dangerous .
Governor Ron DeSantis spoke with Dr. Bhattacharya from Stanford Medical School , in a round table discussion about the implications of PCR tests identifying non-infectious , dead virus , and posed the question… “ Are we quarantining hundreds of thousands of Americans who are not @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Schneditlz , a member of the Austrian Freedom Party , showed how coca-cola tested positive for Covid during an Austrian National Assembly .
It should now be clear as to why 90 % of people do not exhibit any symptoms because the threshold is too high on an already flawed test , and these people likely do not have the virus .
Back in April , the Washington Post reported that in upper Manhattan and the Bronx 88 % of pregnant patients who tested positive , had no symptoms .
As mentioned previously @ @ @ @ @ @ @ nearly 90 % of confirmed Covid-19 cases in the U.S. could be clinically insignificant and non-contagious .
A study from the University College London ( UCL ) also concluded that nearly 90 % of people who test positive have no symptoms .
The big concern , and propaganda that was pushed all year , is that asymptomatic people could be “ super spreaders.
” The fact is , the data points to quite the opposite , while the media continues to gaslight .
Did they miss the memo on 54 studies , or @ @ @ @ @ @ @ studies with 77,758 participants finds household secondary attack rate ( chance an infected person will infect one or more people at home ) is 18 % if the index case is symptomatic and 0.007 % if asymptomatic .
That ’ s less than 1 % , but the media refers to them as “ super spreaders.
” Despite this , legacy news media such as MSNBC for example , continue to gaslight people with “ asymptomatic people are super spreaders ” while their guest , Dr. Vin Gupta warns people that “ just @ @ @ @ @ @ @ dose doesn ’ t mean you should be traveling during a pandemic or that you are liberated from wearing a mask until all of us get vaccinated.
” He then states that the vaccine may not prevent you from being contagious .
So if the vaccine may not keep you from getting infected and you may be contagious either way , then why get the vaccine , especially when the overall survival rate is 99.98 % ?
The Vaccine Has Officially Been Rolled Out and The Side Effects Are Alarming Pfizer and Moderna @ @ @ @ @ @ @ through the Emergency Use Authorization ( EUA ) and not the standard approval process , which are now rapidly rolling out .
There have already been reported adverse reactions , and many people are extremely concerned about getting vaccinated , despite the showboat entertainment of high profile people allegedly getting vaccinated on television .
The fact that they need to do that to assure people these vaccines are safe , is very telling .
The American Nurses Foundation survey on 13,000 nurses showed that when nurses were asked if they would voluntarily be @ @ @ @ @ @ @ 36 % said no , and 31 % said they were unsure .
A survey at Loretto Hospital in Chicago , where the city ’ s first Covid-19 vaccine was administered , 40 % of the staff said they do not plan to get the vaccine .
Many are concerned about how quickly it was developed and the potential side effects .
Meanwhile , in Libertyville , not far from Chicago , they temporarily suspended vaccinations after four team members experienced adverse events .
In Alaska , five healthcare workers suffered anaphylaxis shock @ @ @ @ @ @ @ being aware of any existing allergies .
This came after a report of a medic receiving the vaccine in New York suffering from the same thing and was moved into intensive care .
The CDC has already reported that 3,150 vaccine recipients have reported adverse reactions after being vaccinated .
They were “ unable to perform normal daily activities , unable to work , required care from doctor or health care professional.
” They have already administered 272,001 vaccines as of December 19 .
The CDC has launched a probe into this and @ @ @ @ @ @ @ reactions to any ingredients in the Covid-19 vaccines should not get the vaccine , and those who did experience a reaction to the first shot , should not get the second shot .
Read full announcement here .
The FDA is now investigating allergic reactions to the Pfizer vaccine .
In Australia , they had to scrap their $ 750 million vaccine project because it was causing those receiving it to wrongly test positive with HIV .
They are now increasing their orders from Pfizer , Novavax , and AstraZeneca .
It ’ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ women , children , those that are low-risk , and those with allergies should be cautious and due your due diligence in research first .
Not to be taken lightly , it should be noted that Pfizer has been fined over $ 4.7 billion since 2000 for false claims acts , off-label or unapproved promotion , Foreign corrupt practices , with over $ 103 million for “ drug or medical equipment safety violations ” and over $ 34 million for “ kickbacks & bribery.
” Author ’ s note : Generally , this @ @ @ @ @ @ @ telling people that they should review all of the facts and decide what is best for themselves and their families , but quite honestly , I feel more compelled to warn people of the dangers .
I ’ ve been studying the data all year , and when the same folks that are flat out lying about death counts are also pushing the vaccine , I can not remain unbiased in my reporting .
There is a lot of gaslighting , misinformation , intentional disinformation , and data to sift through in order @ @ @ @ @ @ @ make proper decisions based on facts .
Unfortunately , when information reported goes against the narrative being pushed by big pharma , big media , and big stakeholders , journalists and medical professionals tend to get disqualified in meek attempts by simply pointing to “ other sources ” that “ say otherwise , ” without providing solid evidence .
It ’ s nothing more than word salad .
When the data is pulled directly from the sources and the facts are laid out , it is undeniable .
It ’ s up to @ @ @ @ @ @ @ see the facts or the illusion .
Those that choose to see the illusion will inevitably cast away their freedoms , which will have a direct impact on the rest of the country .
The question is , will they be able to live with themselves when reality sets in and it ’ s too late to turn back ?
Part 5 , and the conclusion to this 5-part report , coming soon !

The Task Force for Tests Was Formed Back in February 2019
Is it a mere coincidence that the FDA, CDC, and CMS launched a task force to facilitate rapid availability of diagnostic tests during public health emergencies 10 months prior to Covid hitting the states, or at least that’s how the story goes. Never before has a task force such as this been formed that is specific to expediting the development and distribution of tests. In fact, the clinical laboratory community said that they were uncertain as to how to implement diagnostic tests once they received an EUA (emergency use authorization), and meeting CLIA regulations under an EUA to allow labs to start testing specimens.
“Time and time again, we’re reminded that disease knows no borders. While our globalized world and modern transportation help promote economic prosperity, these features also facilitate the spread of emerging infectious diseases,” said Chesley Richards, CDC’s Deputy Director for Public Health Science and Surveillance.
There Has Never Been A Sample Specimen of SARS-CoV-2
In April 2020, Secretary of State Mike Pompeo said the CCP “censored those who tried to warn the world, it ordered a halt to testing of new samples, and it destroyed existing samples. The CCP still has not shared the virus sample from inside of China with the outside world, making it impossible to track the disease’s evolution.”
In May, Pompeo said, “China still has not provided samples of the virus to other countries, instead having its scientists share the virus’s genome online in January.”
In July, Pompeo said, “They have destroyed samples; they’ve taken journalists and doctors who were prepared to talk about this and not permitted them to do what nations that want to play on a truly global scale and global stage ought to do: be transparent and open and communicate and cooperate.”
The bottom line is that no one has ever performed a SARS-coV-2 isolation. There is no proof that this alleged virus has ever been purified and isolated, in multiple countries. These tests were not built on a “gold standard.”
Many doctors, medical professionals, and scientists question whether the virus even exists. That’s to say, that the actual small numbers of those who have gotten sick, may have a different virus that is no more threatening than the flu.
RT-PCR Test for Covid-19 and The Scientists Demanding Retraction
“Scientists are doing an awful lot of damage to the world in the name of helping it. I don’t mind attacking my own fraternity because I am ashamed of it.” – Kary Mullis, Inventor of Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR) and awarded Nobel Prize for it in 1993
Investigative journalist Celia Farber has interviewed biochemist Kary Mullis in the past, and has extensively covered PCR, the method being used in Covid-19 tests. “PCR, simply put, is a thermal cycling method used to make up to billions of copies of a specific DNA sample, making it large enough to study.” This report is critical reading to understand how the PCR method is being used in Covid tests and why Mullins and other scientists have said PCR should not be used for medical diagnostics.
Rather than a doctor listening to the lungs and physically assessing a patient, which is the standard method for clinical medicine, they have created the illusion that this is a highly contagious virus while directing people through drive-thru lines as though you are picking up a burger from McDonald’s, only instead they swab you at arms-length. The visuals they have impressed upon people’s minds is forever stamped with permanent gaslighting. This in turn, has made it very easy to escalate positive “cases” even though 90% of people aren’t even displaying symptoms. Had any of those people visited a physician, they would have been told they were fine and never been tested. Now, testing has become mandatory in nursing homes, hospitals, concerts, some places of business, and airports, which will ultimately continue the rise in positive cases due to false positives from a flawed test.
This is an older clip of Mullis, in his own words, about Dr. Fauci and the scientific world:
The Corman-Drosten PCR protocol for RT-PCR Covid-19 tests was published on January 23, 2020 and is used in an estimated 70% of all PCR test kits worldwide.
This was all based on theoretical sequences of the viral genome without a virus isolate, which till this day, doesn’t appear to exist. On November 27, 2020 an International Consortium of Scientists in Life Sciences published an external peer review titled ‘Review Report Corman-Drosten et al. Eurosurveillance 2020,’ documenting 10 major flaws and requesting a retraction.
10 Major Scientific Flaws at The Molecular and Methodological Level: Consequences for False Positive Results
Extremely high concentration of primes making the test non-specific Six unspecified wobbly positions introduce an enormous variability in the real world laboratory implementations The test cannot discriminate between the whole virus and viral fragments Incompatible annealing temperatures A severe error is the omission of a Ct value at which a sample is considered positive and negative The PRC products have not been validated at the molecular level The PCR test contains neither a unique positive control to evaluate its specificity for SARS-CoV-2 nor a negative control to exclude the presence of other coronaviruses The test design in the Corman-Drosten paper is so vague and flawed that one can go in dozens of different directions; nothing is standardized and there is no standard operating procedure The Corman-Drosten paper was not peer-reviewed making the test unsuitable as a specific diagnostic tool to identify the SARS-CoV-2 virus Many severe conflicts of interest
The Threshold: The CDC, WHO, Dr. Anthony Fauci, and The New York Times Want You To Understand How The Tests Work for Covid
In an August 2020 report by the New York Times titled “Your Coronavirus Test is Positive. Maybe it Shouldn’t Be,” they described how the cycle threshold used in tests that determine if a patient is infected, needs to be adjusted, stating “most tests set the limit at 40, a few at 37. This means that you are positive for coronavirus if the test process required up to 40 cycles, or 37, to detect the virus. Tests with thresholds so high may detect not just live virus but also genetic fragments, leftovers from infection that pose no particular risk – akin to finding a hair in a room long after a person has left.”
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.
This was confirmed by White House Covid Task Force Dr. Anthony Fauci just one month prior, in an interview (4-min marker). When asked “Can we use a cutoff of viral loads determined by PCR to say this patient is no longer infectious, can go home, go to a nursing facility, because physicians are really having a hard time with that?”
Dr. Anthony Fauci’s response:
“What is now evolving into a bit of a standard that if you get a cycle threshold of 35 or more that the chances of it being replication competent are miniscule. You almost never can culture a virus from a 37 threshold cycle, so if somebody comes in with 37, 38, even 36, you gotta say its dead nucleotides, period.”
In a landmark legal ruling in Portugal in November 2020, a judge found that “In view of current scientific evidence, this test shows itself to be unable to determine beyond reasonable doubt that such positivity corresponds, in fact, to the infection of a person by the SARS-CoV-2 virus,” and added, “the test’s reliability depends on the number of cycles used and the viral load present.”
The Portuguese judges cited a study conducted by “some of the leading European and world specialists,” which was published by Oxford Academic at the end of September. It showed that if someone tested positive for Covid at a cycle threshold of 35 or higher, the chances of that person actually being infected is less than three percent, and that “the probability of… receiving a false positive is 97% or higher.”
In a December 7, 2020 press release by the World Health Organization (WHO), they admitted to issues with the tests after having received user feedback on elevated risk for false SARS-CoV-2 results.
In this notice, the WHO statedthat “users of RT-PCR reagents should read the IFU carefully to determine if manual adjustment of the PCR positivity threshold is necessary to account for any background noise which may lead to a specimen with a high cycle threshold (Ct) value result being interpreted as a positive result. The design principle of RT-PCR means that for patients with high levels of circulating virus (viral load), relatively few cycles will be needed to detect virus and so the Ct value will be low. Conversely, when specimens return a high Ct value, it means that many cycles were required to detect virus. In some circumstances, the distinction between background noise and actual presence of the target virus is difficult to ascertain.
IMPORTANT NOTE: If it wasn’t clear in all of the above references, different laboratories, states, and countries may have different sensitivity cutoffs. In other words, if they chose to set the cycle cutoff at 33, the rate of Covid-positive would be significantly smaller, and if they adjusted it down even further, it wouldn’t even exist. All of this begins with the swab. Just imagine peeing on a stick to determine if you are pregnant, only they had the ability to make adjustments to where it could show up positive even if you weren’t pregnant. How devastating.
In addition to all of the above, the CDC has already stated that the antibody tests can pick up other strains of coronavirus, meaning someone could have the common cold, and it is being recorded as COVID-19. The antibody tests have created a major conflict in actual test results overall.
After this information went viral in the public eye, the CDC completely reworded their original findings, and changed it to say “Note: Other coronaviruses cannot produce a positive result on a viral test,” while forgetting to alter the sentence preceding it that clearly states “there is a chance that a positive result means you have antibodies from an infection with a different virus from the same family of viruses (called coronavirus). Oops.
Thanks to the WaybackMachine, the original CDC statement shown in the first image is archived here.
Many people have come forward upset that their family members’ deaths were being reported incorrectly on their death certificates. Here is just one example of an individual who died of other causes, tested negative for Covid-19 three times, and yet it was put on their death certificate.
This is not surprising, as hospitals are making a lot of money on this. Becker’s Hospital Review broke down the finances by state back in April.
The High Threshold Creates False Positives
After understanding the section above on the threshold of the tests and how they are creating false positive, which likely explains why 90% of all positive cases are asymptomatic, below are a handful of examples of false/positives that have been reported on.
Dr. Mike Yeadon, a Former Vice President and Chief Science Officer of the Allergy and Respiratory Research Unit for Pfizer for 16 years, in addition to consulting with more than 20 biotechnology companies, has said that half or “almost all” of tests for Covid-19 are false positive. Legacy news media immediately jumped on disqualifying Yeadon by pointing to numbers of cases and deaths on Johns Hopkins site, which is hardly a disqualifier. Pfizer declined to comment altogether.
CRITICAL LISTENING
Doctors and Medical Professionals from all over the world have spoken out about Covid-19, the tests, and the vaccines. These professionals put a lot on the line to speak out, providing important information from the USA, Belgium, France, Germany, Ireland, Norway, Sweden, and the UK. LISTEN. They strongly worn against the dangers of the vaccines that are an experimental product, putting genetic material into humans, which are not proven safe or effective, and could in fact be dangerous.
Governor Ron DeSantis spoke with Dr. Bhattacharya from Stanford Medical School, in a round table discussion about the implications of PCR tests identifying non-infectious, dead virus, and posed the question… “Are we quarantining hundreds of thousands of Americans who are not contagious?”
In Austria, Michael Schneditlz, a member of the Austrian Freedom Party, showed how coca-cola tested positive for Covid during an Austrian National Assembly.
The “Asymptomatic Super Spreader” Farce with 90% Asymptomatic Rate
It should now be clear as to why 90% of people do not exhibit any symptoms because the threshold is too high on an already flawed test, and these people likely do not have the virus.
Back in April, the Washington Post reported that in upper Manhattan and the Bronx 88% of pregnant patients who tested positive, had no symptoms.
As mentioned previously, the New York Times reported that nearly 90% of confirmed Covid-19 cases in the U.S. could be clinically insignificant and non-contagious.
A study from the University College London (UCL) also concluded that nearly 90% of people who test positive have no symptoms.
The big concern, and propaganda that was pushed all year, is that asymptomatic people could be “super spreaders.” The fact is, the data points to quite the opposite, while the media continues to gaslight. Did they miss the memo on 54 studies, or nah?
New JAMA meta-analysis of 54 studies with 77,758 participants finds household secondary attack rate (chance an infected person will infect one or more people at home) is 18% if the index case is symptomatic and 0.007% if asymptomatic. That’s less than 1%, but the media refers to them as “super spreaders.”
Despite this, legacy news media such as MSNBC for example, continue to gaslight people with “asymptomatic people are super spreaders” while their guest, Dr. Vin Gupta warns people that “just because you get vaccinated with that second dose doesn’t mean you should be traveling during a pandemic or that you are liberated from wearing a mask until all of us get vaccinated.” He then states that the vaccine may not prevent you from being contagious. So if the vaccine may not keep you from getting infected and you may be contagious either way, then why get the vaccine, especially when the overall survival rate is 99.98%?
The Vaccine Has Officially Been Rolled Out and The Side Effects Are Alarming
Pfizer and Moderna have both been approved by the FDA through the Emergency Use Authorization (EUA) and not the standard approval process, which are now rapidly rolling out. There have already been reported adverse reactions, and many people are extremely concerned about getting vaccinated, despite the showboat entertainment of high profile people allegedly getting vaccinated on television. The fact that they need to do that to assure people these vaccines are safe, is very telling.
The American Nurses Foundation survey on 13,000 nurses showed that when nurses were asked if they would voluntarily be vaccinated, 34% said yes, 36% said no, and 31% said they were unsure.
A survey at Loretto Hospital in Chicago, where the city’s first Covid-19 vaccine was administered, 40% of the staff said they do not plan to get the vaccine. Many are concerned about how quickly it was developed and the potential side effects.
Meanwhile, in Libertyville, not far from Chicago, they temporarily suspended vaccinations after four team members experienced adverse events.
In Alaska, five healthcare workers suffered anaphylaxis shock after getting the vaccine, despite not being aware of any existing allergies. This came after a report of a medic receiving the vaccine in New York suffering from the same thing and was moved into intensive care.
The CDC has already reported that 3,150 vaccine recipients have reported adverse reactions after being vaccinated. They were “unable to perform normal daily activities, unable to work, required care from doctor or health care professional.” They have already administered 272,001 vaccines as of December 19. The CDC has launched a probe into this and announced that people who have experienced allergic reactions to any ingredients in the Covid-19 vaccines should not get the vaccine, and those who did experience a reaction to the first shot, should not get the second shot. Read full announcement here.
The FDA is now investigating allergic reactions to the Pfizer vaccine.
In Australia, they had to scrap their $750 million vaccine project because it was causing those receiving it to wrongly test positive with HIV. They are now increasing their orders from Pfizer, Novavax, and AstraZeneca.
It’s also important to note that pregnant women, children, those that are low-risk, and those with allergies should be cautious and due your due diligence in research first.
Potential Side Effects from CDC Site:
Not to be taken lightly, it should be noted that Pfizer has been fined over $4.7 billion since 2000 for false claims acts, off-label or unapproved promotion, Foreign corrupt practices, with over $103 million for “drug or medical equipment safety violations” and over $34 million for “kickbacks & bribery.”
Author’s note: Generally, this is where I would insert a sentence telling people that they should review all of the facts and decide what is best for themselves and their families, but quite honestly, I feel more compelled to warn people of the dangers. I’ve been studying the data all year, and when the same folks that are flat out lying about death counts are also pushing the vaccine, I cannot remain unbiased in my reporting.
In Conclusion
There is a lot of gaslighting, misinformation, intentional disinformation, and data to sift through in order to clearly see the big picture and make proper decisions based on facts. Unfortunately, when information reported goes against the narrative being pushed by big pharma, big media, and big stakeholders, journalists and medical professionals tend to get disqualified in meek attempts by simply pointing to “other sources” that “say otherwise,” without providing solid evidence. It’s nothing more than word salad. When the data is pulled directly from the sources and the facts are laid out, it is undeniable. It’s up to everyone to decide whether they choose to see the facts or the illusion. Those that choose to see the illusion will inevitably cast away their freedoms, which will have a direct impact on the rest of the country. The question is, will they be able to live with themselves when reality sets in and it’s too late to turn back?
Part 5, and the conclusion to this 5-part report, coming soon!

thewashingtonstandard--2020-12-21--Publisher Cancels Book Decrying Cancel Culture Because Author Criticized Islam

How mad has the world gone ?
This mad : apparently oblivious to the titanic dimensions of the irony , the publisher Little , Brown just canceled a new book , Welcome to the Woke Trials : How # Identity Killed Progressive Politics by British journalist Julie Burchill because of an “ Islamophobic ” Twitter exchange Burchill had with Muslim writer Ash Sarkar .
So you see , it ’ s fine to stand up for freedom of speech , but some lines must not be crossed .
And what was Burchill ’ s crime ?
Did she use racial @ @ @ @ @ @ @ or violence against innocent Muslims ?
No , apparently all she did was note the readily demonstrable fact that according to Islamic tradition , Muhammad married a child .
But telling the truth is a dangerous enterprise these days .
According to The National , the Hachette group , which owns Little , Brown , announced that Burchill ’ s book “ has been scrapped by her publisher for what it said were Islamophobic comments.
” The book , according to the report , “ was promoted as a ‘ characteristically irreverent and @ @ @ @ @ @ @ mob.
’ ” But the outrage mob was not outraged by anything in the book itself .
It was evidently outraged because Burchill asked Sarkar , “ Can you please remind me of the age of the Prophet Mohammad ’ s first wife ?
” Burchill is clearly speaking about Muhammad ’ s child bride Aisha , not his first wife , Khadija , who was fifteen years older than he was .
But that ’ s just a detail .
Commenters raked Burchill over the coals for her supposed hypocrisy for ignoring @ @ @ @ @ @ @ that Mary was a child when she married Joseph .
Yet none of that was on point .
No one would care about Muhammad ’ s child marriage were his behavior not normative for Islamic law and imitated by all too many Muslims even today .
So what Burchill said , aside from mixing up the order of Muhammad ’ s wives , was entirely based on fact .
Now , there is a possibility that Burchill ’ s child marriage remarks were not the “ Islamophobic comments ” in question .
It @ @ @ @ @ @ @ between Burchill and Sarkar that Twitter has deleted .
The National fastidiously refrains from telling us what egregious thing Burchill is supposed to have said .
But it is bitterly ironic that Burchill ’ s book on cancel culture has now been canceled for whatever it is she said .
That rather proves her point , doesn ’ t it ?
Sarkar egged on the outrage mob , writing : Ms. Sarkar tweeted : “ Julie Burchill , who once I suppose was a well-regarded journalist , has quite openly subjected me to @ @ @ @ @ @ @ a big girl – it ’ s not going to upset me – but I do find it strange that none of her colleagues or friends in the industry seems to have a problem with it.
” “ Her colleagues and friends in the industry ” accordingly jumped to show how broad-minded and non-Islamophobic they were , and quickly threw Burchill under the bus .
Little , Brown ’ s statement is a repugnant stew of self-contradiction , self-righteousness , and hypocrisy : “ We will no longer be publishing Julie Burchill ’ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ decision we have taken lightly .
We believe passionately in freedom of speech at Little , Brown and we have always published authors with controversial or challenging perspectives – and we will continue to do so.
” No , Little , Brown , you don ’ t believe in the freedom of speech .
Clearly , there are controversial or challenging perspectives you don ’ t dare publish .
Claiming to believe in the freedom of speech while canceling a controversial book is like claiming to be a little bit pregnant .
You @ @ @ @ @ @ @ or you don ’ t .

Britain ’ s protracted demise as a free society continues apace @

How mad has the world gone? This mad: apparently oblivious to the titanic dimensions of the irony, the publisher Little, Brown just canceled a new book, Welcome to the Woke Trials: How #Identity Killed Progressive Politics by British journalist Julie Burchill because of an “Islamophobic” Twitter exchange Burchill had with Muslim writer Ash Sarkar. So you see, it’s fine to stand up for freedom of speech, but some lines must not be crossed. And what was Burchill’s crime? Did she use racial slurs? Did she call for genocide or violence against innocent Muslims? No, apparently all she did was note the readily demonstrable fact that according to Islamic tradition, Muhammad married a child. But telling the truth is a dangerous enterprise these days.
According to The National, the Hachette group, which owns Little, Brown, announced that Burchill’s book “has been scrapped by her publisher for what it said were Islamophobic comments.”
The book, according to the report, “was promoted as a ‘characteristically irreverent and entertaining’ indictment of the ‘outrage mob.’” But the outrage mob was not outraged by anything in the book itself. It was evidently outraged because Burchill asked Sarkar, “Can you please remind me of the age of the Prophet Mohammad’s first wife?”
Burchill is clearly speaking about Muhammad’s child bride Aisha, not his first wife, Khadija, who was fifteen years older than he was. But that’s just a detail. Commenters raked Burchill over the coals for her supposed hypocrisy for ignoring child marriage in British history and claiming that Mary was a child when she married Joseph. Yet none of that was on point. No one would care about Muhammad’s child marriage were his behavior not normative for Islamic law and imitated by all too many Muslims even today. So what Burchill said, aside from mixing up the order of Muhammad’s wives, was entirely based on fact.
Now, there is a possibility that Burchill’s child marriage remarks were not the “Islamophobic comments” in question. It may be that there were other exchanges between Burchill and Sarkar that Twitter has deleted. The National fastidiously refrains from telling us what egregious thing Burchill is supposed to have said. But it is bitterly ironic that Burchill’s book on cancel culture has now been canceled for whatever it is she said. That rather proves her point, doesn’t it?
Sarkar egged on the outrage mob, writing: Ms. Sarkar tweeted: “Julie Burchill, who once I suppose was a well-regarded journalist, has quite openly subjected me to Islamophobia on here.

No, Little, Brown, you don’t believe in the freedom of speech. Clearly, there are controversial or challenging perspectives you don’t dare publish. Claiming to believe in the freedom of speech while canceling a controversial book is like claiming to be a little bit pregnant. You either believe in the freedom of speech or you don’t.

What race is Islam again? I keep forgetting. The charge of “hate speech” is a tool of the powerful to silence the powerless. This ugly incident shows vividly how it is used to stifle dissent. Burchill’s question should have sparked a debate about child marriage, and about Sharia and its relationship to British law. Instead, Burchill’s book is canceled, signaling that such discussions are not to be tolerated.

San Francisco , CA — Stay home , save lives .
This is the mantra many Californians have repeated and lived by for the last 10 months as their governor instituted some of the most draconian measures in the country .

It’s utterly ridiculous.

thewashingtonstandard--2020-12-21--34 Police Departments Kill Citizens At Higher Rates Than US Murder Rate

According to the most recent count of police killings , police in America have killed 1,039 people this year .
Exactly 21 of these victims were at or under the age of 18 when their lives were taken by police officers who swore an oath to protect and serve .
Many were unarmed while others were entirely innocent .
All of them , however , were innocent until proven guilty — yet never got the option to plead their cases .
So far this year , there have only been 17 days in which police have not killed someone .
@ @ @ @ @ @ @ to the forefront of the national discussion earlier this year as millions of Americans took to shouting in the streets , rioting , and looting over the death of George Floyd .
It became such a massive issue that even mainstream media was forced to admit that the United States has the most violent and deadly law enforcement system on the planet .
But did it lead to massive change , reform , or less police violence ?
That answer is a resounding no .
In fact , on the day George Floyd @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the time , 5 other people were also killed .
While a few cities across the country made incredible changes to the way they police their citizens , including sending mental health experts instead of cops to hundreds of 911 calls , other cities carried out business as usual .
Though this is business as usual , it is no less shocking .
The Free Thought Project decided to look into some numbers maintained by the organization at Mapping Police Violence and compare police killings with the national murder rate .
These numbers @ @ @ @ @ @ @ recent data from Pew Research in 2019 , the US murder rate was 5.0 per 100,000 , for a total of 15,498 murders .
This is the national average , though there are many cities who exceed it and many who are far below .
When we compare cops in major cities to the national murder rate , we find a massive problem .
According to the most recent data , there are a whopping 34 departments across the land of the free who kill people at higher rates than the US murder @ @ @ @ @ @ @ just black men , 8 of the 100 largest city police departments kill black men at higher rate than the US murder rate .
This is shocking , especially considering the fact that many of these folks are unarmed and innocent .
According to the data compiled from 2013-2019 , the most deadly department in America happens to kill people at a nearly 370 % higher rate than the national average .
That department is the St. Louis Metropolitan Police Department who became infamous for their tactics of war during the Ferguson Mike @ @ @ @ @ @ @ City , who has a penchant for killing unarmed black men .
As we reported earlier this year , Oklahoma city cops killed an unarmed man on video as he repeatedly told them he can ’ t breathe .
Derrick Scott , 42 , repeatedly told cops that he couldn ’ t breathe during his arrest last May , but cops couldn ’ t have cared less , and in fact , told this to Scott as he died .

According to the most recent count of police killings, police in America have killed 1,039 people this year. Exactly 21 of these victims were at or under the age of 18 when their lives were taken by police officers who swore an oath to protect and serve. Many were unarmed while others were entirely innocent. All of them, however, were innocent until proven guilty — yet never got the option to plead their cases.
So far this year, there have only been 17 days in which police have not killed someone.
The problem of police violence was brought to the forefront of the national discussion earlier this year as millions of Americans took to shouting in the streets, rioting, and looting over the death of George Floyd. It became such a massive issue that even mainstream media was forced to admit that the United States has the most violent and deadly law enforcement system on the planet.
But did it lead to massive change, reform, or less police violence? That answer is a resounding no. In fact, on the day George Floyd was killed, as TFTP reported at the time, 5 other people were also killed.
While a few cities across the country made incredible changes to the way they police their citizens, including sending mental health experts instead of cops to hundreds of 911 calls, other cities carried out business as usual.
Though this is business as usual, it is no less shocking. The Free Thought Project decided to look into some numbers maintained by the organization at Mapping Police Violence and compare police killings with the national murder rate. These numbers are disturbing.
According to the most recent data from Pew Research in 2019, the US murder rate was 5.0 per 100,000, for a total of 15,498 murders. This is the national average, though there are many cities who exceed it and many who are far below.
When we compare cops in major cities to the national murder rate, we find a massive problem. According to the most recent data, there are a whopping 34 departments across the land of the free who kill people at higher rates than the US murder rate.
If we zero in on just black men, 8 of the 100 largest city police departments kill black men at higher rate than the US murder rate. This is shocking, especially considering the fact that many of these folks are unarmed and innocent.
According to the data compiled from 2013-2019, the most deadly department in America happens to kill people at a nearly 370% higher rate than the national average. That department is the St. Louis Metropolitan Police Department who became infamous for their tactics of war during the Ferguson Mike Brown protests.
Another department is Oklahoma City, who has a penchant for killing unarmed black men. As we reported earlier this year, Oklahoma city cops killed an unarmed man on video as he repeatedly told them he can’t breathe.
Derrick Scott, 42, repeatedly told cops that he couldn’t breathe during his arrest last May, but cops couldn’t have cared less, and in fact, told this to Scott as he died.
“I don’t care,” one of the officers, Jarred Tipton, can be heard replying to Scott as he took his last breaths on this planet.
Another one of these 34 departments is in Aurora, Colorado who witnessed massive protests this year after several high profile police killings.
As TFTP reported, last August, Elijah McClain was killed by Aurora police after he was put in a chokehold and given the sedative ketamine. The incident began when someone in the neighborhood called the police because McClain was walking down the street with groceries while wearing a mask. McClain reportedly always wore the mask because he was anemic, and often got cold, and he was an introvert.
At the time of his death, he had never gotten so much as a speeding ticket in his life. He was completely innocent.
Breonna Taylor was also completely innocent when she was gunned down in her home by cops with the Louis Metropolitan Police Department, who also happens to be among the 34 deadliest departments in the country.
The fact is that this article could go on for days, naming all the people killed by police officers in these departments. But that wouldn’t solve anything.
What we need right now is major changes inside police departments to curb their violent tendencies. Until we end the war on drugs we can expect this problem to remain the same. Until we end qualified immunity for police, the problem will not get better. Until cops are held personally liable like doctors who commit malpractice, they will continue to pass their liability along to the taxpayers. Finally, until police in America stop preying on citizens for victimless crimes and bring predatory policing to its knees, this problem will not go away.
We are ready for this change. Are you?

Chicago-Area Hospital Will Resume COVID Vaccinations – Even After Workers Had Adverse Reactions
The vaccination program at Advocate Condell Medical Center in Libertyville, Illinois, said it would restart vaccinations for other employees after four workers experienced adverse relations to the vaccine.
“Our site vaccination teams remain prepared to respond quickly and appropriately should anyone experience any kind of reaction,” the hospital statement, according to FOX 32. “Out of an abundance of caution, we have increased our post-vaccine evaluation period to 30 minutes for all individuals across all our sites, which exceeds CDC/ACIP recommendations.”
The medical center noted that the four affected employees represent “only a small fraction” of the organization’s 3,000 employees who have been vaccinated since the Pfizer and BioNTech vaccine became available earlier this week. But that’s a larger share than those being hospitalized for the disease they are allegedly vaccinating everyone for.
While the medical center — about 39 miles north of Chicago — temporarily paused injections of the Pfizer vaccine at its Libertyville site, the organization’s other sites, including eight more in Illinois and three in Wisconsin, were continuing vaccinations without disruption, officials told FOX 32.
In Alaska, 2 out of about 100 people who were vaccinated had severe adverse reactions.
On Wednesday, state officials in Alaska reported that two health care workers in that state experienced allergic reactions to the Pfizer product. One worker, described as a middle-aged woman with no previous allergy history, stabilized after treatment Tuesday following a rapid heartbeat, trouble breathing and a skin rash and redness, CBS News reported. She was admitted to a Juneau hospital for monitoring. The second employee experienced milder symptoms, including eye puffiness, lightheadedness and a scratchy throat, the report said. –FOX 32
