Subject: THE TRUTH ABOUT COVID AT LAST -- BLOCKBUSTER
This video outlines the scam to prevent well known treatments for Covid-19 to reach the consumer because of the greed of big pharma, the CDC, the WHO, complicit medical professionals and the NIH for more expensive drugs, vaccines etc. Cheaper and effective treatments like vitamin D3, Zinc, Pepcid, Melatonin, and Hydroxychloroquine 200 Mg Oral Tablets ($32 a bottle) are cleverly dismissed by MSM, social media, liberal politicians in order to fill pockets of providers of expensive drugs like Remdesivir (Veklury) which cost hospitals $3120 a treatment. https://m.youtube.com/watch?

Portuguese Court Rules PCR Test 'Unreliable' & Quarantines 'Unlawful'
This important legal decision faced total media blackout in Western world.
Most importantly, the judges ruled that a single positive PCR test cannot be used as an effective diagnosis of infection.
The specifics of the case concern four tourists entering the country from Germany – all of whom are anonymous in the transcript of the case – who were quarantined by the regional health authority. Of the four, only one had tested positive for the virus, whilst the other three were deemed simply of “high infection risk” based on proximity to the positive individual. All four had, in the previous 72 hours, tested negative for the virus before departing from Germany.
In their ruling, judges Margarida Ramos de Almeida and Ana Paramés referred to several scientific studies. Most notably this study by Jaafar et al., which found that – when running PCR tests with 35 amplification cycles or more – the accuracy dropped to 3%, meaning up to 97% of positive results could be false positives.
PCR testing that has been done for COVID-19 can be a faulty way, used by itself, to diagnose a case. PCR testing was mainly meant to be a research tool used to detect small amounts of a protein or chemical by amplifying the sample many times. PCR testing was not meant to be a stand-alone test to define a case of COVID-19 infection. Doctors know the main diagnostic tool is to have a patient with typical symptoms and signs of the disease. Additional lab testing can confirm and support the diagnosis.
The answer to a PCR test is not yes or no -- the result can depend on how many amplification cycles are used. On any given set of samples, an amplification rate of 15 (small) could be negative for all samples. If the amplification rate is 40 (high) then all the samples from the same set might be positive. For our COVID test in use, it is recommended that the cycle rate be set at less than 35 and closer to 25-30 is better.
Coronavirus Scandal Breaking in Merkel’s Germany. False Positives and the Drosten PCR Test
https://www.globalresearch.ca/
By F. William Engdahl | Global Research, December 11, 2020
The widely-praised German model of the Angela Merkel regime to deal with the COVID - 19 pandemic is now engulfed in a series of potentially devastating scandals going to the very heart of the testing and medical advice being used to declare draconian economic shutdowns and next, de facto mandatory vaccinations. The scandals involve a professor at the heart of Merkel’s corona advisory group. The implications go far beyond German borders to the very WHO itself and their global recommendations.
The entire case for WHO - mandated emergency lockdown of businesses, schools, churches and other social arenas worldwide is based on a test introduced, amazingly early on, in the Wuhan, China coronavirus saga.
On January 23, 2020, in the scientific journal Eurosurveillance, of the EU Center for Disease Prevention and Control, Dr. Christian Drosten, along with several colleagues from the Berlin Virology Institute at Charite Hospital, along with the head of a small Berlin biotech company, TIB Molbiol Syntheselabor GmbH, published a study claiming to have developed the first effective test for detecting whether someone is infected with the novel coronavirus identified first only days before in Wuhan. The Drosten article was titled, “Detection of 2019 novel coronavirus (2019-nCoV) by real-time RT-PCR” (Eurosurveillance 25(8) 2020).
The news was greeted with immediate endorsement by the corrupt Director General of WHO, Tedros Adhanom, the first non - medical doctor to head WHO. Since then the Drosten - backed test for the virus, called a rea l - time or RT - PCR test, has spread via WHO worldwide, as the most used test protocol to determine if a person might have COVID-19, the illness.
On November 27 a highly-respected group of 23 international virologists, microbiologists and related scientists published a call for Eurosurveillance to retract the January 23, 2020 Drosten article. Their careful analysis of the original piece is damning. Theirs is a genuine “peer review.”
They accuse Drosten and cohorts of “fatal” scientific incompetence and flaws in promoting their test.
Another scandal is the decision in March-April 2020 time fame is the CDC’s decision to change the criteria for medical diagnosis of Covid-19 cases and deaths. Just look at financial shenanigans with respect to Covid-19.
The state of North Carolina receives $252,000 for each Covid-19 case reported to feds at CDC. This is not for extreme hospital treatment-respirators etc. CDC’s original budget for 2020 was $8 billion but due to Covid-19 cases their budget ballooned to $46 billion. There is plenty of financial incentive for certain governors and federal agencies like Governor Roy Cooper (NC-D) to drag out the virus indefinitely while NC’s children and small businesses are sacrificed in name of public health, or more correctly political health. Prior to 2020, there are zilch infectious disease studies from reputable investigators that recommend masks or lockdowns to control virus spreads. Every adjacent state to NC, except VA which has our same mortality rate, has worse Covid-19 numbers. They have essentially opened up to sports in high schools and businesses are flourishing. Even so, our state and Cherokee County Covid-19 mortality rate is .1%. I’m more worried about getting blind-sided by large RV’s in Ingles’ parking lots!
Yet, somehow, hardly anyone in America is even aware that the CDC managed to get their initial $8 billion budget for 2020 increased by a factor of six to a whopping $46 billion by relentlessly honking the COVID-19 panic-horn. (H/t, RedState reader, Kurt Schulzke.)
Moreover, the flagrant accounting shenanigans the CDC used to generate their generous windfall are sitting there hiding in plain sight on their website so that—not just that New York Times reporter’s mentally defective brother-in-law—but even the reporter himself wouldn’t have had much trouble finding them had either bothered looking.
Indeed, the CDC’s additional epidemiological criteria are so unbelievably liberal that—and I’m in no way exaggerating here—there literally isn’t a single person in the country to whom they don’t apply!
You see, in March of 2020, the CDC announced some changes to the way they wanted doctors to start filling out death certificates. And a few weeks later, the CDC issued some new diagnostic guidelines.
But these changes turned out to be very narrowly focused, indeed.
They didn’t affect how heart disease or cancer deaths were diagnosed or reported.
Nor did physicians need to change the way they report or diagnose the flu or any other manner of disease, accident, homicidal intention, act of God, or any other conceivable way that a human being can wind up meeting his maker any differently except for just one special ailment.
For some strange reason, the CDC decided that COVID-19 alone among all mortal perils was to get its own unique method of accounting devised especially for it.
And what do you know?
As an outfit called Children’s Health Defense (CHD) noted way back in July, these new criteria for diagnosing COVID-19 and listing it on death certificates turn out to so preposterously loose that they were bound to create a massive but wholly illusory increase in the number of COVID-19 cases and deaths than would have been reported had this new disease which the CDC so successfully raised funds on not been given this exceedingly strange special treatment.
Consider the COVID-19 clinical diagnostic criteria the CDC issued in April:
(i) At least two of the following symptoms: fever (measured or subjective), chills, rigors, myalgia, headache, sore throat, new olfactory and taste disorder(s)
OR
(ii) At least one of the following symptoms: cough, shortness of breath, or difficulty breathing
OR
(iii) Severe respiratory illness with at least one of the following:
· Clinical or radiographic evidence of pneumonia, OR
· Acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS).
AND
No alternative more likely diagnosis
Now if you go through that list quickly, it may seem perfectly fine.
However, if you look more carefully you’ll notice that either (i), (ii), or (iii) is by itself sufficient to satisfy the CDC’s clinical criteria and that any single item in (ii) is also sufficient. Hence—just as the Children’s Health Defense reports—all it takes to get diagnosed with COVID-19 is a cough!
Moreover, almost unbelievably, the March CDC guidelines for filling out death certificates, which were composed in a Q&A format, state:
Q: Should “COVID-19” be reported on the death certificate only with a confirmed test?
A: COVID-19 should be reported on the death certificate for all decedents where the disease caused or is assumed to have causedor contributed to death.
So, since the instructions in April went on to say doctors should diagnose a patient with COVID-19 on the basis of a mere cough, anyone who has a cough will wind up getting COVID-19 listed on his death certificate.
Colds, the flu, allergies, and all the myriad other things that were causing people to cough before anyone had ever heard of COVID-19, apparently, suddenly ceased to exist.
Moreover, notice that the March guidelines don’t just mean that COVID-19 will get listed on a coughing decedent’s death certificate in the absence of any test confirming infection. If you have a cough and then die, your death certificate will list COVID-19 even if you did have a test but it came back negative.
Indeed, the CDC’s instructions guarantee that COVID-19 will wind up on your death certificate no matter how many negative tests you had!
And, though coughing is the most egregious CDC criteria unique to COVID-19 sufficient for a positive diagnosis, the others listed along with it are nearly as bad.
Countless environmental factors, conditions, and ailments were causing shortness of breath or difficulty breathing long before the world had ever heard of COVID-19. Yet, suddenly, on April 24, 2020, anyone having either one of those symptoms or, for that matter, merely a cough is thereby automatically diagnosed with COVID-19 and, should he die, wind up with the disease listed on his death certificate.
Nor is the criteria laid down in (i) much better since, obviously, you can have a fever and chills, or a headache and a sore throat, or any two of the other seven criteria laid down in (i) as jointly sufficient for a COVID-19 diagnosis without having COVID-19.
And, though the criteria listed in (iii) look to be very stringent:
Severe respiratory illness with at least one of the following:
· Clinical or radiographic evidence of pneumonia, OR
· Acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS).
AND
No alternative more likely diagnosis
The reality is that, since anyone with a severe respiratory illness is pretty much guaranteed to have a cough, the criteria in (iii) are in fact completely moot since anyone with any potential at all of being diagnosed with COVID-19 because of them will already be getting a positive diagnosis from that cough he’s bound to have.
Now the CDC tries to make these criteria seem less preposterously weak by stating that, in order to be considered a probable COVID-19 case, you need to meet them plus some additionally specified “epidemiological” ones. But the latter turn out to be even more toothless.
Indeed, the CDC’s additional epidemiological criteria are so unbelievably liberal that—and I’m in no way exaggerating here—there literally isn’t a single person in the country to whom they don’t apply!
The epidemiological criteria that have to be satisfied in addition to the clinical ones cited above are:
One or more of the following exposures in the 14 days before onset of symptoms:
· Close contact** with a confirmed or probable case of COVID-19 disease; OR
· Close contact** with a person with:
o clinically compatible illness AND
o linkage to a confirmed case of COVID-19 disease.
· Travel to or residence in an area with sustained, ongoing community transmission of SARS-CoV-2.
· Member of a risk cohort as defined by public health authorities during an outbreak.
Apart from all the other risibly loose entries—which, among other things, imply that sitting next to someone on the bus who coughs is sufficient—since we were supposed to believe that everywhere in the country suffered “sustained, ongoing community transmission” of SARS-CoV-2 and that we’re all at such great risk of contracting it that every single one of us needs to wear not just one but—assuming what I read yesterday wasn’t just some sick and awful bad dream—two masks at all times, the additional epidemiological criteria don’t do a damn thing to screen anyone out.
They will literally apply to every single man woman or child in America and hence, all it takes to be diagnosed with COVID-19 in America is a cough or any of the other preposterously loose clinical criteria above that countless, diseases, conditions, and environmental factors have been causing since the time immemorial.
Now the CHD report claims that, had we kept on reporting COVID-19 fatalities the way we report every other cause of death, the number of deaths attributed to the virus would have been around 90% less than the figures the CDC used to rake in all that dough.
