PCR-Based Covid Testing Has Failed

Across Europe, including in the UK, we see the following:
1. Daily ‘cases’ sky-rocketed in Europe as Autumn arrived.
2. Daily deaths labelled as ‘Covid deaths’ rose in line with ‘cases’ – to levels apparently higher than at the Spring peak.
3. BUT: Total all-cause mortality does not reflect the above.

There is a major problem with PCR-testing which is distorting policy and creating the illusion that we are in a serious pandemic when in fact we are not.

This is causing:
1. Excess deaths due to restricted access to the NHS.
2. An NHS staffing crisis which is exacerbating matters.
3. Unprecedented assaults on civil liberties and the economy.

Fundamental flaws of the current UK approach

1. The definition of Covid deaths is too broad.
2. The tests are not measuring the disease.
3. Excess deaths are not all Covid deaths.
4. There is an NHS staffing crisis caused by false positive test results.
5. The only confirmatory testing carried out has shown no Covid.
6. Weak criteria used to declare a positive will result in false positives.
7. The results from PCR testing no longer fit reality.

Recommended actions

1. Stop mass testing asymptomatic individuals.
2. Re-test a sample of hospitalised patients previously diagnosed (by PCR alone) using Lateral Flow Tests (LFT).
3. If PCR is to continue to be used at all, it should be at low scale and on no account should this involve the high capacity facilities known as Lighthouse Labs.
4. Even conducted at lower scale, it is vital that additional quality control measures for PCR testing are instituted.
5. Hospital/NHS and care-home staff absence policies should be based primarily on LFT testing, using PCR testing for confirmation of positive tests only.
6. The definition of ‘an outbreak’ must require subjects to have positive LFT results with confirmatory testing using high-quality PCR tests conducted in a well-managed laboratory, combined with symptoms and evidence of direct contact.
7. Overturn the Ofcom ban on free speech in broadcast media.

The PCR False Positive Pseudo-Epidemic
by Dr Mike Yeadon / 30 November 2020

How a novel virus met a partly-immune population

In Spring 2020 a novel coronavirus swept across the world: novel, but related to other viruses. In the UK, unknown at the time, around 50% of the population were already immune. The evidence for this is unequivocal and arose due to prior infection by common cold-causing coronaviruses (of which four are endemic). This prior immunity has been confirmed around the world by top cellular immunologists. There is even a very recent paper from Public Health England on the topic of prior immunity and a wealth of other evidence from studies on memory T-cells, studies on household transmission and on antibodies.

Government actions have been nothing but peculiar from the very beginning

Conclusions

In summary, I argue that it is criminally dangerous to drive policy based in any way on the PCR test and its results. No amount of argument or prevarication can alter these damning facts. The ‘secondwave’ of “cases” and even “COVID-19 deaths” are an artifact of flawed testing.

'Johnson is a libertarian in the way Stalin was a libertarian'

Columnist James Delingpole says "We are being played" telling talkRADIO the wearing of face coverings "was never about the virus, it is about control.". The interview touches on many issues including the ridiculousness of the SAGE guidance.

Covid19, as a public health emergency, is long over. There’s absolutely no question about this.

Labour’s abstention today is interesting. They should oppose as should all MPs. There’s no evidence of a public health crisis nor that one is imminent. Even early in winter, some areas experience pressures on the NHS. That’s neither new nor a justification to restrict activities.

There’s no evidence that ‘measures’ significantly slowed transmission. It’s a canard that ‘tiered restrictions’ will do ANYTHING except cause harms, economic as well as medical & social. People will die as a result of such ‘measures’ while saving no one.

How anyone can, on the evidence, vote to leave Hancock & SAGE in charge of our lives for a further several months is beyond me. Can anyone summarise what it is that those voting FOR expect to happen?

What’s absolutely clear now is that there was substantial prior immunity in the population, arising from previous encounters with common cold causing coronaviruses. That meant that, with significant heterogeneity in transmission, after only a low % of the population had been infected, national herd immunity was attained.

There is no competing explanation for the force which turned the expanding outbreak in March, unaffected by any lifting of measures, nor for the protection from covid19 deaths in London for example (9 deaths in last 24 hours vs 250 deaths in spring peak). This latter observation requires not even an O-level in biology.

Once you accept herd immunity is evident in London, you surely want to know where things stand elsewhere. If you look at Joel Smalley’s videos on YouTube, you will see there’s incontrovertible evidence of herd immunity almost everywhere across England. Even in cities like Manchester there are areas & towns more severely affected in spring that are NOT those which are most affected now. Same in Liverpool. Even in London, it’s just one area in which covid19 deaths are now occurring.

What else we can see, even through the hideously distorting amount of mis-attribution of cause of death, is that the #SecondaryRipple has peaked & is declining.

Major faults arising from cross-contamination in PCR mass testing is responsible for hugely overstating covid19 “cases” & “deaths”, and the rule of any death within 28 days of a positive test amplifies the exaggerated number of “deaths”.

Covid19, as a public health emergency, is long over. There’s absolutely no question about this. I’ve maintained that herd immunity was attained by June. No data has emerged to challenge this deduction. So the very idea that if we don’t lockdown (or close analogue), the NHS will be overwhelmed is, I regret to say, lies.

The hallmark of a pandemic is excess deaths, such as the extreme event in spring. In the autumn, in excess of 10k deaths have been attributed to covid19. Yet the autumn all-causes mortality is barely above the 95% confidence interval for the 5y average. That’s not even an epidemic.

For comparison, the degree of elevation of the last weeks all-cause mortality is the same as that arising from the first real heatwave we’ve had in U.K. (several days in Aug where temps exceeded 34C). Those were circulatory excess deaths & are familiar in Europe.

Oddly though, now, non-covid19 deaths are apparently reduced. As this is most unlikely, there is significant overstatement of covid19 deaths, in turn due to the volume of false positives from PCR mass testing. Corrected for this, the dominant cause of total mortality is likely due to restricted access to the NHS for 8 months & counting.

Other lines of evidence showing major problems with PCR mass testing wrongly diagnosing covid19, a severe acute respiratory virus, are Tim Spector’s respiratory symptom app, NHS111 calls for respiratory symptoms & A&E attendances for respiratory illnesses are all DOWN or flat, after the normal September pulse, after which “cases” have absolutely soared. These are almost all false positives.

There has been unfeasible extents of positivity (% of tests which are positive) from PCR mass testing. Bolton recently had 20% positivity. This is ludicrous, 8 months after the spring peak. These are substantially false positives. During a genuine epidemic of respiratory virus, instantaneous prevalence is typically <1%, often much lower.

So Bolton is a nonsense, but wasn’t alone. A large number of towns returned positivity clearly in the biologically unfeasible range. Almost all false positives. Even the National positivity, around 6% last time I looked, is to me biologically unfeasible & down to very substantial FPs arising from poorly controlled PCR mass testing.

Once you allow doubt in your mind about the trustworthiness of PCR mass testing, you surely wish to run the ‘thought experiment’: that I’m broadly correct about problems with PCR mass testing. You’d then set aside those test results & instead look only at symptomatic illness (which PCR most definitely doesn’t measure), hospital data & deaths. When you do that, you find there is nothing unusual on any front.

In fact, one of the most prominent things you notice is the staffing crisis in the NHS. What kind of illness is going about that’s caused such a huge amount of sickness absence? The answer is self isolation flowing from having tested PCR positive. These are almost all false positives. This likely is another contribution to deaths. And it’s not the fault of staff in any way.

So a long way around the houses. I implore MPs to treat this vote as a matter of conscience & vote according to your understanding of all the data, not only what SAGE is telling you, and vote AGAINST the motion today.

I believe there is not & never was a good rationale for mass testing of the population. It is therefore not a problem to completely halt PCR mass testing. If we did this, no one would die as a result. But the country would begin to return to normal immediately & by Christmas, the country would be coming to terms with the mess but at least the future would be one of optimism.

Mr Starmer, please guide your MPs to a free vote, a conscience matter. Be on the right side of history & vote AGAINST.

A global team of experts has found 10 FATAL FLAWS in the main test for Covid and is demanding it’s urgently axed.
Peter Andrews 1 Dec, 2020

A peer review of the paper on which most Covid testing is based has comprehensively debunked the science behind it, finding major flaws. They conclude it’s utterly unsuitable as a means for diagnosis – and the fall-out is immense.

The 10 deadly sins

Among the fatal flaws that totally invalidate the PCR testing protocol are that the test:
