MISS INFORMATION

We just got back from Hawaii. We got back just in time, the Governor has just limited indoor events to 10 people and outdoor events to 25 people. He is openly encouraging people not to come to Hawaii. All of this is because of COVID 19 and specifically because of the Delta Variant. But what most people don’t know is that a large part of the problem is highly questionable testing. The traditional COVID 19 tests cannot determine if someone has the Delta Variant, a test of genome sequencing in required. That mean a COVID-19 PCR test has to be sent to a lab with the capability to perform genome sequencing. It appears as though only a small number of tests get sent to labs for genome sequencing. The following article, from Dr. John Sanders, Chief of Infectious disease at Atrium Health Wake Fore Baptist explains:

How do scientists test for the delta variant? (wxii12.com)

To add to the confusion, the PCR test itself is not actually a test for any virus or disease. It was not even designed to do that; it was a laboratory analytical tool for research. It only identifies genetic material. There is one report that indicates that there is a potential that perhaps 97% of corona virus positives are false.

“The PCR amplifies genetic material by using cycles of amplification until it reaches what is called Cycle threshold (Ct), the number of amplifications to detect genetic material before the sample becomes worthless. Mullis once said if you amplify by enough cycles you can pretty much find anything in anybody as our bodies carry huge numbers of different viruses and bacteria, most harmless. Even Dr. Fauci in a 2020 interviews stated that a CT at 35 or above is worthless. Yet the CDC is believed to recommend testing labs to use a CT of 37 to 40! At that level perhaps 97% of COVID positives are likely false.”

Yet, every night we see news broadcasts where doctors warn of the extreme danger of COVID 19 and the Delta Variant. We are warned that if we do not take drastic action, more people will die. But recently we know of at least one specific case where a prominent person, who was vaccinated, became ill and was diagnosed with COVID. But she didn’t have COVID at all. When she recovered, she was tested for the COVID antibodies and discovered she doesn’t have any. Instead, she had the respiratory syncytial virus. It has symptom similar to COVID. That person was Reba McEntire:

Earlier, when she thought both she and her boyfriend had Covid, she said the following:

“She added, “It’s not fun to get this. I did get it, Rex and I got it, and it’s not fun. You don’t feel good. We were both vaccinated and we still got it, so stay safe, stay home and be protected the best you can.”

But now, we know the rest of the story:

“ I did say that I had COVID, but when I got tested, my antibodies — it came up that I had not had COVID,” the country singer told Nancy O’Dell on Monday’s episode of “Talk Shop Live.”

McEntire, 66, explained that she seemingly got a false positive test result despite having symptoms similar to the virus.

“I had my antibodies from my vaccine. I had all the symptoms,” she said. “The test … said that I had it, but then the nurse that came and tested me for my antibodies said that I probably had the RSV virus.”

The respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) is a common and contagious virus that causes infections of the respiratory tract. It has similar symptoms to the novel coronavirus, though it is not nearly as life-threatening.”

If this seems insane to you, it is because it is insane. The bottom line is that a lot of people have been making life changing decisions based on the science, without even attempting to verify the actual science. Then if anyone dares hint at disagreement, they are instantly silenced as spreading misinformation. Misinformation is anything that conflicts with the latest and greatest CDC guidelines. I frankly don’t know what to believe any more. Except one thing; a lot of people who claim they are following the science are flat out guessing. This is so bad that right now it is impossible to even determine how many people had COVID. One thing that is absolutely certain is that the COVID symptoms are not necessary an indication of COVID because these can and are caused by a variety of other disease.

We have literally locked down entire economies and now countries because of a disease for which we apparently have no real test. At a minimum, the most commonly used test apparently can be very inaccurate.  It appears as though the speed in detecting COVID was more important than making sure the test was accurate. Incredibly, either no one in the MSM noticed, no one cared, or they were too terrified to report on this. Regardless a lot of people firmly believe things that are far from certain.

In addition, the primary defense demanded is wearing masks. But true scientists realize it is impossible to enforce a real mask mandate with masks that actually work. So instead, they demand everyone wear a mask and then totally ignore whether the mask is even close to doing the job. In Hawaii I saw a man wearing a mask that was absolutely filthy and soaked with sweat. Yet no one even suggested he get a new mask. The bottom line is you must wear a mask, but any mask will do. This is just plain dumb. The following article from the BBC explains.

What are the rules and guidance for face masks and coverings? – BBC News

This article explains why doctors are recommending everyone wear masks, and then goes on to explain why the majority of masks being worn are worthless. When you combine that with diagnosis of  COVID by a test that doesn’t actually test for COVID and which can be triggered by numerous other diseases, including the common cold, this is mind blowing.

Even MSN knows this but ignored the obvious. The CDC is guessing:

Is there a specific COVID-19 test for the delta variant? What you need to know (msn.com)

“Current COVID-19 tests can’t always (Actually NEVER) detect the delta variant. The delta variant “carries distinctive biological markers that some (Actually  NONE) among the dozens of commercially available COVID tests  from academic institutes and medical giants may not be able to sense,” according to Fortune.

If you’re really interested in knowing if you have the delta variant, you may want try out the polymerase chain reaction testing platforms, which looks at the genetic variations within the virus to determine its strains.

  • However, that test can take longer than a rapid test, which often takes about 30 minutes. PCR tests can take a few days to get the results and include some biological details about the virus you’re infected with.”

(“The CDC does not have a specific test that will tell you if you have the Delta Variant. Frankly, they don’t appear to have a test that even verifies COVID.)

However, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention can look at specific cases of the coronavirus through genetic sequencing. But there isn’t a specific test that will tell you if you have the delta variant.”

Yet this does not stop Dr. Rochelle Walensky, Director of the CDC from saying the following:

Dr. Rochelle Walensky, director of the CDC, said Tuesday that the delta variant of the novel coronavirus now accounts for more than 83% of all sequenced COVID-19 cases — a sign that the variant is spreading far and wide throughout the country.

There clearly are people who are very sick, showing up in hospital rooms and sometimes dying. Doctors and nurses are convinced that this is all because of COVID. But, while the illness and the tragic deaths are all too real, it is time to ask some serious questions about exactly what is causing this.

A lot of people will take the time to lecture anyone not getting vaccinated or wearing a mask for being stupid, uninformed, and uncaring. This is because we all must rely on the guidance from the real science, which means guidance from the CDC. Yet it is increasingly easy to understand why CDC guidance has been all over the map. They are not using credible data when making decisions. The problem is compounded by a MSM, including FOX, too terrified to ask a couple of really obvious questions. “How accurate is the current PCR test in confirming COVID and not some other disease is causing the symptoms?” How you know how many case are from the Delta Variant when it appears very few COVID cases are even tested for the Delta Variant?”

The CDC, which should be the entity most anxious to verify the facts is instead either ignoring the facts and, in some cases, suppressing anyone who dares mention the problem as spreading misinformation. At some point, this will all become too obvious to ignore and the result will be, another, lack of respect for institutions that we used to trust. A sad situation. But at least we have a wonderful highly skilled President who is doing such a masterful job managing the crisis in Kabul.
