What is the 'PCR test'? Dr. Thomas Cowan: 'You cannot use a surrogate test to prove anything, and that is what is happening with these tests.' Tags: Coronavirus Testing Mordechai Sones , Dec 03 , 2020 2:35 PM http://www.israelnationalnews.com/News/News.aspx/292466
Tel Aviv University Faculty of Medicine Department of Microbiology and Clinical Immunology immunologist Prof. Motti Gerlic today referred to the tools we use to diagnose COVID-19, saying "the tests that give us a measure of people who have probably met the virus do not give us a true measure of sick people. A person who tests positive for the virus should be distinguished from a sick person."
The test being used is a positive polymerase chain reaction, or PCR test. Some scientists and experts have increasingly warned that the PCR test does not necessarily mean the virus is present, infectious, or viable, nor does the PCR test detect the whole virus.
Laniado Hospital Emergency Medicine Department Director Dr. Amir Shachar, one of the founders of the emergency medicine profession in Israel, said "most of the people identified as carriers are not sick, or they are very lightly ill, and I'm trying to say that this figure of 3,000 or 4,000 new patients a day is simply using wrong definitions. There is no disease that is diagnosed by identifying the contagion in the throat. There also need to be symptoms and most of the people identified as positive and get the label 'sick' are not sick."
Dr. Thomas Cowan explained: "So what is the surrogate of a RT PCR test? It's otherwise known as a viral load test, and the test is a surrogate test. It was it was developed an by guy named Kerry Mullis, who was given the Nobel Prize in chemistry for essentially inventing the technique of this test. And he said very specifically, ‘you cannot use this test to either prove infectious etiology, or to diagnose an infectious disease.’ Which of course is interesting, because if you can't use it to diagnose an infectious disease, that of course begs the question of what can you use it for?"
Interestingly, it appears there may be a history of using PCR to help replicate biological weapons-- excerpt, rest at link above --

"So do I," said Gandalf, "and so do all who live to see such times. But that is not for them to decide. All we have to decide is what to do with the time that is given us."
Great article. It explains very clearly what several of our members here have been saying for almost a year now.

Until people stop getting tested, tested, tested, this crap will be with us forever. They don't even have the isolated virus regardless of the propaganda they do. There is no proof where the snippet of RNA they amply to trillions of copies comes from.
If you are generally aware, the PCR test is used to amplify small amount of genetic material so as to recognize patterns of DNA by “cycling.” (Also, for RNA virus, the RNA is converted to DNA in order to be detected, it’s just the way the test works) This is how we have been able to recognize the genomes in Egyptian mummies and Wooly Mammoths. It works because if you amplify and cycle enough times to “grow” legitimate DNA fragments, you get something with with a fair amount of specificity. What is becoming more and more apparent is that the PCR test was not designed as a diagnostic tool for infection, and really cannot function as one without having a huge amount of false positives, period.
When it comes to COVID, the presence of viral particles picked up by the PCR technique does not and has not been quantitatively linked to an active “symptomatic” infection. It simply cannot be so, because infection threshold as a result of viral load is different for each patient. It turns out, if you “cycle” over around 25 times, the false positivity of COVID infection starts getting very high.
I and others have explained in blogs how people can be exposed to virus, and mount a simple innate immune response and never know any differently. When you test these people with very low viral loads, who are not sick, you can find the viral RNA code that is used to “diagnose” if you cycle enough times. The last I read, Labcorp cycles at least 40 times to detect viral genome fragments. The PCR test was never intended for diagnosis of infection but as a qualitative test for presence of parts of a virus genome. I know there has been some confusion circulating the net about what the inventor Kary Mullis had said about that. But we walk daily with people who have any number of parts of killer virus or bacterial genomes which one could pick up with a PCR test if one had the specific test for it. Would we claim that that individual was an infected patient? No!
So given all that, PeakProsperity's Chris Martenson explains below, in great details, the answer to the most important question you should ask if you or a loved one gets a positive PCR test result.
“What’s the Cycle Threshold (CT) value for that test?”
Sounds wonky but it’s actually really important to understand. A low CT value means someone is loaded with virus. A high value, oppositely, means less of a viral load.
Beyond a certain level the load is insufficient to either infect someone else or be of any clinical or epidemiological relevance whatsoever.
The problem? Governments all over the country and world are basing their decisions on CT values that are very high. Too high.
Excellent data on the phony PCR test. I believe the CDC recommends 40 cycles-way too low. When I asked the Texas DSHS how many cycles are used in Texas labs and if there was a statewide standard, they did not answer me, just sent me a link to the CDC.
All they have to do to keep the scamdemic going is tune up the cycles and there are "surging cases." Links: WHO PCR 47 (!) Cycles
