MC has been a staple for us since the beginning. Thank you for giving blessings to this man’s work. The way he set’s up the beginning rationale and takes you through the steps, where he shines the light leaves no place to hide. Forgive me for quoting my own Breaking Bad article but I was hit hard when I realized “beneath this phony fumigation tent something else was cooking inside, one transnational financial orgy for organized crime.” This is smash and grab economic terrorism and like MC every economist should be screaming it.

"The CDC directive tacitly admits is that the PCR test does not effectively differentiate between SARS-CoV-2 and influenza viruses"

I believe this is a misinterpretation of the CDC's Alert. The original PCR test for SARS-CoV-2 could detect only SARS-CoV-2. If you had influenza (similar symptoms) but not SARS-CoV-2, that test would be negative. An influenza infection would not pop a false positive on that test. What the CDC wanted was a single test that could detect both, so that if you had the influenza rather than, SARS-CoV-2 the provided could tell sick individual: "You've got influenza, not Covid" rather than just telling them, "You don't have Covid".

The biggest thing wrong with the PCR tests was two kinds of abuse:

1) Testing people who weren't sick. Except under rare circumstances (such as trying to keep the infection out of elder-care homes), this was pointless.

2) Cranking the cycle threshold up to much above 30. Even the NY Times admitted this way back in August of 2020. https://www.nytimes.com/2020/08/29/health/coronavirus-testing.html

I think the Nobel Prize winner Kary Mullis who invented the PCR test said that it was not meant to diagnose disease because it can pick up anything and make something that is latent/present in most/all people magnify into a (fake) "measurable" disease. His book Dancing Naked in the Mind Field is really good. You can find interviews with him online, he sadly died just before covid rolled out.

Absolutely, positutely agree!! It's great to have all this, in an interesting way of putting it, together and with clarity. Right on, I'm going to copy this and keep it for quick reference for those who are still to catch up... Thanks!
