I was discussing the misuse of the PCR test. You've gone off on a tangent.

While you are on Worldometers.info (not exactly the most relaible source of data) why don't you look at the relationship between tests vs cases vs deaths.

No, you were saying that the test -only- tells if a person has the virus, not the disease; you skirted heavily around the question of whether a person with "just the virus" can spread it (which is settled science. Yes they can) and whether it assists in pushing down the rate of infection and the death rate.

You gave an example that was proven not just wrong but stupidly wrong.

No wonder you want to change your answer and attack the cite. Facts are really not on your side but you're not going to change your mind.

It's not "settled science". Yes a percentage of asymptomatic infected persons can pass on the virus. But only if they shed the virus and at a high viral load.

The PCR test at a high cycle rate doesn't tell you anything about the infectiousness of a person.

And yet, countries that do more testing seem to have much better public health statistics... more than twice as good as the USA... than we do.

In other words, "Yes a percentage of asymptomatic infected persons can pass on the virus. But only if they shed the virus and at a high viral load." is a way of repeating what I just said but still insisting I was wrong? In other words, yes it is settled science.

BTW if you are infected with the virus, you will shed the virus. Different viruses have different dosage to be contagious. COVID is rather low. Measles is very very low, it's a very easily spread disease. A PCR test will indicate that you have the virus, and if you give a shit about other people (obviously not the case for trumpalos) then this gives you the opportunity to NOT spread it to others.

As one of the World’s most infamous granny’s just left this mortal coil [yesterday in fact] pre the winter of EU/UK/USA freezing discontent… twill make the looming over 50s death-toll seem more palatable.

It makes sense too that the NEW bivalent Pfizer Omicron booster was authorised based on data from just eight mice. Such is the emergency. If they'd waited any longer, everyone was in danger of waking up.



Yet even those eight mice all still all got Covid?

I guess some dumbfux will simply never smell the rat, till on deathbeds, but even then will quip “it would have been much worse without the vaccine…”

A truly reputable source.

Try reading some decent studies instead of random BS from unreliable sources.
One of my unreliable sources as you put it is Dr. Robert Malone, just one of the hundreds of researchers involved in the development of mRNA vaccines. The most decent studies we have are the result of the trials that have come out of the use of the mRNA vaccines, 'after' the population of the world has been given the vaccines, not before their use. The population of the world were and still are, the test rats for big pharma.

I love it when someone quotes an article from The Epoch Times, which Wikipedia calls a far-right international multi-language media and publishing company associated with the Falun Gong religious movement.

Full-on tinfoil hat brigade.

What do chemtrails smell like,?
I did not know resisting the CCP was considered a far-right thing.

Wait, Malone says he is the inventor of mRNA tech. What are we now to believe about his reliability?

It's called a 'natural experiment'. Lots of good data. Better in many regards than a trial with radically smaller scope.
Reminds me of stories of Japanese medical experiments done on POWs during WW11. After that war American medical teams found the evidence and records of the experiments, and apparently helped advance medicine in certain areas medically in the U.S., where those types of experiments were forbidden.

It would.

How're the chem trails in your neck of the woods today?

Doses administrated is not a trial, it is just doses administrated.
Just because it is inconvenient to your preconceived conclusions to consider the huge number of vaccines administered over the past 20 months, worldwide, as a "trial" that doesn't mean actual doctors and scientists and other people with functioning brains need to discard the real-world results.

The COVID vaccines are a huge success. Sorry if that rains on your RWNJ parade... actually, no I'm not sorry. I hope it convinces you to change your mind, or at least shut the fuck up, but hopes are slim.

I cracked up after seeing your favorite saying is "Sophisticated Yet Humble".

I agree with this. He is a discredited bitter old man who gets away with his BS because he looks like Santa Klaus.

He was among the earlier researchers of mRNA but fell out with colleagues because he felt he wasnt getting enough recognition.He backed another horse. When mRNA started to show real promise , he spent years trying to get credit as the father of mRNA (he wasnt the first to research mRNA nor did he make all the breakthroughs), then changed course again and found a profitable niche as a media figure speaking out against mRNA. For someone who used to be a genuine scientist, he now appears on you tube talk shows speaking utter nonsense.

As you rightly point out, unreliable and 35 years out of date.
