The Inventor of the PCR Test, Nobel Laureate Dr. Kary Mullis
"...All or a substantial part of these positives could be due to what's called false positives tests." -Dr. Michael Yeadon, distinguished scientist, former Vice President and Chief Science Officer of Pfizer
"This misuse of the RT-PCR technique is applied as a relentless and intentional strategy by some governments to justify excessive measures such as the violation of a large number of constitutional rights, ... under the pretext of a pandemic based on a number of positive RT-PCR tests, and not on a real number of patients." -Dr. Pascal Sacré, Belgian physician specialized in critical care and renowned public health analyst.
"I have seen massive efforts made to deliberately inflate Covid death numbers by relabelling cancer patients and stroke victims and all manner of normal regular deaths as Covid, in fact virtually anyone getting into an ambulance. The methods used to do so were totally flawed, PCR tests for example being run on 45 cycles we all know to be worthless, yet people are being euthanised on this basis and sometimes only on the basis of a chest x-ray alone." -John O'Looney, Funeral Director, Milton Keynes, U.K.
From the outset of this crisis in January 2020, all far-reaching policy decisions upheld and presented to the public as a "means to saving lives" were based on flawed and invalid RT-PCR positive cases.
These invalid COVID-19 "estimates" have been used to justify confinement, social distancing, wearing of the face mask, the prohibition of social gatherings, cultural and sports events, the closure of economic activity, as well as the enforcement of the mRNA "vaccine" launched in November 2020. There is no such thing as a "COVID-19 confirmed case".- Michel Chossudovsky, Professor of Economics (emeritus), University of Ottawa....<<<Read More>>>...

The fake ‘Covid cases’ were secured by a PCR test that its inventor Kary Mullis said could not tell if you were sick and used very high amplification that was bound to elicit fake ‘positives’ by being triggered by genetic material nothing to do with ‘Covid’.
The fake ‘Covid cases’ were secured by a PCR test that its inventor Kary Mullis said could not tell if you were sick and used very high amplification that was bound to elicit fake ‘positives’ by being triggered by genetic material nothing to do with ‘Covid’. Fake ‘cases’ were further secured by diagnosing other illness as ‘Covid-19’ including other forms of respiratory disease.
This is why cases of flu (with ‘flu-like symptoms’) disappeared worldwide when ‘Covid-19’ (with ‘flu-like symptoms’) was hoaxed on the scene.
Fake deaths from ‘Covid’ were manipulated by the insane policy of putting ‘Covid-19’ on the death certificate of anyone who tested positive with a test not testing for the ‘virus’ who died from any other cause within 28 days (sometimes more) of the fake ‘test’.
People dying from falling down the stairs, road accidents, even gunshot wounds, were officially designated ‘Covid’ deaths by this blatant sleight of hand.
Hospitals in the US were given massive financial incentives to diagnose ‘Covid’ – $4,600 for diagnosing regular pneumonia; $13,000 for ‘Covid’ pneumonia; and $39,000 for anyone they put on a ventilator that would almost certainly kill them (and have ‘Covid-19’ on their death certificate).
Add to this the scandal of Remdesivir which Fauci imposed on hospitals for those testing positive with a test not testing for the ‘virus’ which was well known to cause multiple organ failure including the kidneys leading to the abdominal cavity and lungs filling with fluid that caused respiratory failure that was designated ‘Covid-19’.
Add further the use of the end-of-life drug Midazolam that prematurely killed thousands of old people in care homes that was presented to the public as ‘the first wave of Covid’.
From this – and I could say so much more – comes this question: WHERE’S THE BLOODY ‘VIRUS’?
None of the above would have been necessary if there had actually been a ‘virus’. It would have just done its job without any such monumental faking of cases and deaths. People died as they always die – but not from ‘Covid’.The scam of ‘asymptomatic transmission’ was invented to ensure that everyone could be locked down and not just those with symptoms of illness. What was ‘asymptomatic transmission’? Anyone who was perfectly well but had tested positive with a test not testing for the ‘virus’. This is why governments insisted that everyone was constantly ‘tested’ – the more ‘tests’ the more fake positives and the more ‘cases’.
Many in the fake ‘alternative’ media now jump on Johnson’s baloney to say ‘We told you so but it was released on purpose’. They told us nothing – tell us nothing – except what actually benefits the Cult manipulation. The Cult couldn’t care less why you believe the ‘virus’ is real – only that you do. This allows them to play the same hoax again and again just as they plan to and not only with ‘Covid’.
The ‘alternative’ media ‘stars’, many of whom have appeared out of the mainstream since ‘Covid’, go on buying the official manipulation of endless misdirection while believing they are ‘exposing the globalists’ and unfortunately taking vast numbers of people with them. ‘Covid’ is but one prime example that clearly still continues. It’s a head-shaker, it really is....<<<Read More>>>...

PCR tests do not work
This courageous Sergeant has experience throughout the pandemic emergency declaration with testing clinal samples of patients and pooled testing in the public health setting. He discusses how the tests were never meant to diagnose disease. He also talks about the incredibly high false positives that occur when the PCR is run at the high thresholds that the Centres for Disease Control (“CDC”) was mandating as laboratory protocol for the US Department of Defence (“DoD”). This is quite alarming given the fact that the entire “pandemic” was justified based upon case rates of covid-19, but these tests were intentionally manipulated to increase the false positive rate, making the number of cases seem far higher than was medically correct.
In addition, even the CDC and Food and Drug Administration’s (“FDA’s”) own documentation clearly states that the PCR test cannot actually differentiate between covid and other bacteria and/or viruses. Dr. Kary B. Mullis, the inventor of the PCR test who was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize in 1993, discussed with emphasis that no infection or illness can be accurately diagnosed with PCR. Dr. Mullis also talked about the limitations of the tests, “PCR basically takes a sample of your cells and amplifies any DNA to look for ‘viral sequences’, i.e., bits of non-human DNA that seem to match parts of a known viral genome.
“The problem is the test is known not to work. It’s only looking for partial viral sequences, not whole genomes, so identifying a single pathogen is next to impossible, even if you ignore the other issues. The idea these kits can isolate a specific virus-like covid-19 is nonsense.”...<<<Read More>>>...

The PCR test can kill you – and could be used to vaccinate you (and anyone who denies this is a fool)
The big problem, of course, is that the British Government, for example,
deliberately ignores the WHO guidelines and does the test in a crooked
way which would, in a just and sensible world, result in Johnson,
Hancock and their advisors crowded into the dock.
You’d get as
good a result if you just divided people into two groups: those with a
vowel in their surname and those without a vowel, and then announced
that the ones with the vowel all had covid-19 and the rest all needed to
change their names within seven days or pay a huge fine.
So,
everyone with functioning brain tissue knows that the PCR test is
useless, except for political reasons, and that the whole testing
programme is an outrageously expensive and disruptive shambles. Only
government ministers, scientific advisors and pseudo-journalists at the
wretched BBC think that PCR tests are valuable. Did you know,
by the way, that the Government has allegedly hired 900 consultants to
help with the test and trace scheme? The consultants are being paid
£1,000 a day each though what they do for that I cannot imagine. That’s
£900,000 a day. I suspect that 99.99% of the population would be happier
if the £900,000 a day were spent on dentists.
But that’s not the
half of it. Most people seem to have accepted the need for regular PCR
testing. Indeed, people in the UK queue up to have it done as often as
possible – as though they get some sort of thrill out of having a
complete stranger stuff something into a bodily orifice – pushing it in
as far as it will go, twizzling it about a bit, and then pulling it out
and buggering off without so much as “a thank you very much I’ll give
you a ring tomorrow and we’ll have dinner and then do it again.”...<<<Read More>>>>

Why does a Rothschild hold the 2015 patent for COVID-19 testing?
"It has been reported that … COVID-19 caught the world by surprise in 2020," wrote 100 Percent Fed Up. "Well, all of us – except the Rothschilds, according to the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office."
According to the outlet, a British national named Richard Rothschild was granted a patent for "System and Method for Testing for COVID-19, with a priority date of Oct. 13, 2015 – the date when the patent was first filed.
Based on the patent's abstract, the method calls for the use of "a pulse oximeter to acquire at least pulse and blood oxygen saturation percentage." The oximeter's readings are then "transmitted wirelessly to a smartphone" equipped with an accelerometer for accuracy.
"Once accurate data is acquired, it is uploaded to the cloud (or host), where the data is used (alone or together with other vital signs) to determine whether the user is suffering from (or likely to suffer from) a viral infection, such as COVID-19," it continued. "Depending on the specific requirements, the data, changes thereto, and/or the determination can be used to alert medical staff and take corresponding actions."...<<<Read More>>>..

Unearthed emails from 2020 prove that covid PCR testing is a SCAM
Prof. Martin Neil in September 2020 received a handful of anonymous emails that unequivocally prove the fraudulent nature of PCR tests, which were never designed to detect viruses.
“Some of the [test] sequences are found in the human genome itself,” one of the emails reads.
Further, the cycling threshold of PCR testing kits was almost uniformly set too high, resulting in lots of false positives. And were these kits ever even approved or certified for such testing in the first place? Absolutely not.
One of the biggest smoking guns is the gene sequencing that Dr. Christian Drosten used in his blueprint covid testing system, which was spread around the world. Drosten, the guy credited with inventing the screening system for covid, never isolated the virus nor even had access to it.
“Instead, he downloaded the virus RNA sequence from a Chinese database,” reports explain. “Drosten subsequently created the first commercially available RT-PCR screening kit based on this genome.”
“The Chinese researchers later claimed the isolated virus sample
became unusable shortly after uploading the sequence so they destroyed
all remains.” ...<<<Read More>>>...

Covid “testing” needs to STOP, says influential infectious disease panel
Not only is the cost high for both patients and providers, but the practice is medically useless based on the fact that they simply do not work. Pre-admission testing, SHEA says, does little, if anything, to prevent transmission of virus. It can also prevent patients from receiving the care they need based on the changes to treatment that are made following a “positive” test result.
The changes come amid a so-called “tripledemic” of not just covid but also seasonal influenza and respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) that the establishment was trying to scare everyone about in order to push more injections.
Universal covid testing creates a “ripple effect,” the group says, that ends up causing delays in how emergency departments deal with patients. This is especially true amid tripledemic surges that see lots of sick people overcrowding the emergency department.
“The use of asymptomatic screening is a unique yet resource-intensive tool that arguably has been overused,” the panel wrote in the new guidance, which was published in the journal Infection Control & Hospital Epidemiology.
“Although it is imperative to prevent healthcare-associated spread of respiratory pathogens, we must critically assess interventions that, when added upon core layers of infection prevention, may not attain the intended impact and may have unintended consequences for patients and HCP.”...<<<Read More>>>...

Dr. Mike Yeadon: For the Next Pandemic Understand Vaccines Are Not the Answer
The 2009 H1N1 (swine flu) pandemic was a “dress rehearsal” for the Covid-19 pandemic.
The use of the spike protein in the shot was a diabolical mistake, as 90% of the immune response mounted after natural Covid-19 exposure is not to the spike protein.
Spike protein is also toxic and mutates rapidly, which essentially destroys virtually any protection that the shot provides shortly after it’s given.
The fact that virtually every country worldwide followed suit in imposing ineffective lockdowns and other Covid-19 mandates suggests a coordinated, supranational effort was underway.
During the 2009 H1N1 (swine flu) pandemic, secret agreements were made between Germany, Great Britain, Italy and France with the pharmaceutical industry before the H1N1 pandemic began, which stated that they would purchase H1N1 flu vaccinations — but only if a pandemic level 6 was declared by the World Health Organisation.
Six weeks before the pandemic was declared, no one at WHO was worried about the virus, but the media were nonetheless exaggerating the dangers.3 Then, in the month leading up to the 2009 H1N1 pandemic, WHO changed the official definition of pandemic, removing the severity and high mortality criteria and leaving the definition of a pandemic as “a worldwide epidemic of a disease.”
This switch in definition allowed WHO to declare swine flu a pandemic after only 144 people had died from the infection worldwide. In 2010, Dr. Wolfgang Wodarg, then head of health at the Council of Europe, accused pharmaceutical companies of influencing WHO’s pandemic declaration, calling swine flu a “false pandemic” that was driven by Big Pharma, which cashed in on the health scare.
For the first time in history, during the Covid-19 pandemic, the polymerase chain reaction (PCR) tests were used to dictate whether someone was healthy or sick. If the test was positive, then you’d be labelled as sick and counted as a case, even if you had no symptoms.
The PCR tests used for Covid-19 use a powerful amplification process that makes them so sensitive they can even detect the remains of a dead virus, long after infection.8 Wodarg said Covid-19 “was a ‘test’ pandemic. It was not a virus pandemic,”9 because PCR tests may give a positive result when it detects coronaviruses that have been around for 20 years.10 PCR tests weren’t meant to be used for clinical diagnoses, according to their inventor, the late Kary Mullis, PhD.

CDC finally admits, casually, that covid nasal “testing” swabs were used to sequence people’s genomes for analysis
According to the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), many of the cotton swab sticks that are being jammed up people’s nasal cavities and processed with a fraudulent PCR test are later collected and used by “scientists” to conduct “research” on people’s gene profiles.
“Remember that COVID-19 nose swab test you took? What happened to the
swab? If it was processed with a PCR test, there’s a 10 percent chance
that it ended up in a lab for genomic sequencing analysis,” the CDC

PCR Tests Have Served Their Purpose in the Covid “Crisis”, They’re Now Being Cancelled – Everywhere
Page 40 of the Instructions for Use of the PCR test states (emphasis our own):
“Since no quantified virus isolates of the 2019-nCoV were available for CDC use at the time the test was developed and this study conducted, assays designed for detection of the 2019-nCoV RNA were tested with characterized stocks of in vitro transcribed full-length RNA (N gene; GenBank accession: MN908947.2) of known titer (RNA copies/µL) spiked into a diluent consisting of a suspension of human A549 cells and viral transport medium (VTM) to mimic clinical specimen.”
After almost two years of incorrect and fraudulent use of the PCR test, there seems to be a worldwide Government campaign to stop its use. Here are some examples:
“Canadians seeking a COVID-19 PCR test in recent days may have faced long line-ups at testing centres and a shortage of appointment slots as demand has risen amid the spread of the Omicron variant.” – CTV News, 26 December 2021
“Changes made to PCR testing guidance amid record demand [in Northern Ireland]. The Public Health Agency said it had issued new protocols to help ensure ‘the continued and targeted delivery of the service’.” – Belfast Telegraph, 29 December 2021
“A widespread shortage of PCR tests across the devolved nations was due to an administrative error, the First Minister of Scotland has said.” – Belfast Telegraph, 29 December 2021
“Asymptomatic people who test positive in Wales no longer required to have PCR test.” – ITV, 5 January 2021
“From today, people in NI who get a positive lateral flow test should presume that they have Covid-19 and that they are infectious – a PCR test will no longer be required to confirm the result.” – 4NI, 5 January 2022
“Boris scraps extra Covid testing rules in drive to stop Omicron shutting down the economy … And people testing positive after a lateral flow test do not have to have a PCR confirmation.” – Daily Express, 6 January 2022
“The need for PCR tests has now changed [in Scotland] in a bid to relieve pressure in test centres and labs.” – Daily Record, 6 January 2022
“Australians are no longer required to get a PCR test to confirm their COVID-positive result.” – ABC Net, 6 January 2021
A 20-year trail of patent applications concerning the virus responsible for Covid-19 proves it is neither new nor the result of a jump from animals to humans. In July 2021, a dossier of evidence supporting these claims was presented by Dr. David Martin to the international Corona Investigative Committee. The first SARS outbreak in the latter part of 2001 “gave rise to a ‘very problematic’ April 2003 patent filing by the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). It was for the entire SARS gene sequence, and for a series of derivative patents covering means of detection, including the PCR test [widely used today purportedly to diagnose cases of SARS-CoV-2 infection],” The Conservative Woman wrote.
“People should remember that all the “covid” case data is based on PCR and antigen tests which are meaningless. They give positive results for those with normal flu, which has the exact same symptomology as what they are calling Covid19. This conflation is clear as day and must be pointed out to everyone and we need to take the governments of the world to court for conducting no risk benefit analysis and perpetuating a fraud on the public and restricting basic human rights at par with the Nazi and Soviet era.,” Robin Monotti posted on Telegram on 31 December 2021....<<<Read More>>>...

Following Complaints from Customers, a UK Covid Test Provider Admits Tests Cannot Be Used to Diagnose Covid
A list of field safety notices (“FSNs”) from medical device manufacturers is maintained by the Medicines and Healthcare products Regulatory Agency (“MHRA”). In a previous article we attached a list of 24 FSNs relating to “SARS” devices between 1 January and 30 November 2021 – 15 of them relate specifically to PCR Tests and at least one relates to a lateral flow antigen test, two of these were issued by DnaNudge.
DnaNudge has a creepy sales pitch: “Here at DnaNudge, we’ve pioneered something completely new – the ability to nudge your everyday shopping choices through your DNA,” their online shop says. It is a company that was formed in 2015 and founded by Chris Toumazou, Regius Professor of Engineering Imperial College London, and Dr. Maria Karvela. DnaNudge’s two recently appointed directors are: Sir Richard Sykes, chair of the UK’s Vaccine Taskforce who was appointed as director of DnaNudge in December 2021; and, Mohammed (“Mo”) El Husseiny, founder of Ventura Capital.
Their ‘lab in a cartridge’ device was approved for clinical use by the MHRA at the end of April 2020 and in August 2020, the UK government purchased 5.8m DnaNudge Covid tests, at a cost of £161m or just under £28 each, to be rolled out in patient care and elective surgery settings.
A couple of months later, in October, DnaNudge entered into a deal with manufacturer Jabil Healthcare to produce 1.4 million “CovidNudge” test cartridges per month by early 2021. A move to expand their customer base is motivated by money. The units are being sold to NHS hospitals at cost price, Prof. Toumazou said, “We’ve sold it at cost to the NHS as a philanthropic thing, but our consumer business [on other products] is suffering because we haven’t put the resources into that.”
Formerly Nypro, Jabil Healthcare’s website states that it serves five key sectors in the healthcare market: medical devices, orthopedics; diagnostics; pharmaceutical delivery systems; and, consumer health. Adding that “taking centre stage are Internet of Things (IoT) and digital health platform innovations enabled by connectivity, sensors and miniaturisation.”
In early November 2020 DnaNudge announced their Covid test was available for people without Covid-19 symptoms. The test is able to return results in 90-minutes and up to 10 people in a work, friends, family or other close contact “bubble” can be tested at the same time on the same cartridge, at a cost of £10 per person.
On 22 December 2020, DnaNudge issued its first FSN which affected all batches. DnaNudge’s customers had complained there was a disconnection between the blue top cover and the clear bottom cover of the “DNACartridge.” “If any cartridges are identified with loose or missing lids, DO NOT attempt to replace the lid, please dispose of the item appropriately and continue testing with a new cartridge,” DnaNudge instructed....<<<Read More>>>....

Did you Know: Last Year Covid PCR Tests Were Erroneously Testing for Bacteria So Had to Be Recalled
It is the first on a rolling list of field safety notices (“FSNs”) from medical device manufacturers published since January 2020. The list of FSNs is maintained by the Medicines and Healthcare products Regulatory Agency (“MHRA”). In the document below we filtered MHRA’s full list as of 31 December 2021 for device descriptions that contained the word “SARS”. There are 24 FSNs relating to “SARS” devices, 15 of them specifically to PCR Tests and at least one relates to a lateral flow antigen test.
QIAGEN is a German provider of sample and assay technologies for molecular diagnostics, applied testing, academic and pharmaceutical research. Consolidated under the Dutch holding QIAGEN N.V., the company operates more than 35 offices in over 25 countries. “We are proud to serve over 500,000 customers around the globe with QIAGEN’s Sample to Insight solutions … QIAGEN’s products are found in nearly every lab the world over,” their website states.
In March 2020, QIAGEN or QGEN announced that it was working to develop a QIAstat-Dx test kit to distinguish the novel SARS-CoV-2 coronavirus from 21 other serious respiratory infections. Per QIAGEN, it was partnering with customers and public health authorities globally to scale up its coronavirus testing capacity, and “make available the Sample to Insight QIAstat-Dx respiratory panel with SARS-CoV-2 detection.”
On 30 December 2020, QIAGEN recalled a batch of their “QIAstat-Dx Respiratory SARS-CoV-2 Panel, REF 691214”, which enables detection of the SARS-CoV-2 virus, as it was “faulty.” The Panel was faulty because instead of containing the reaction mix for detecting SARS-CoV-2 it held the mix for detecting atypical bacteria.
One of the atypical bacteria the test was detecting, instead of Covid, was Mycoplasma pneumoniae – an important cause of upper respiratory tract infection and bronchitis/pneumonia, usually as sporadic infections or outbreaks through human-to-human transmission among families or in closed environments.
“False results could lead to incorrect treatment decisions that could set off adverse events linked to the nature of the treatment (i.e., use of antibiotics/antivirals),” QIAGEN’s FSN states, “if you have remaining stock of LOT 200218, REF 691214, do not use it … If you already used cartridges from this LOT, please identify the results obtained.”...<<<Read More>>>...

The CDC Withdraw the Emergency Use of The PCR Test In 10 Days’ Time, Why Is It Still Being Used In The UK?
The Innova SARS-CoV-2 Antigen Rapid Qualitative Test, the CDC’s benchmark COVID diagnostic testing system, will be withdrawn for Emergency Use by the end of 2021 due to an inordinate frequency of false-positive and negative results.
“The FDA has identified this as a Class I recall, the most serious type of recall. Use of these devices may cause serious injuries or death,” the FDA stated on its website.
“After December 31, 2021, CDC will withdraw the request to the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for Emergency Use Authorization (EUA) of the CDC 2019-Novel Coronavirus (2019-nCoV) Real-Time RT-PCR Diagnostic Panel, the assay first introduced in February 2020 for detection of SARS-CoV-2 only” (source).
“CDC is providing this advance notice for clinical laboratories to have adequate time to select and implement one of the many FDA-authorized alternatives” (source).
The FDA goes on to explain the risks associated with false positives and negatives:
False-negative results may lead to delayed diagnosis or inappropriate treatment of SARS-CoV-2, which may cause patient harm including serious illness and death. False-negative results can also lead to further spread of the SARS-CoV-2 virus, including when presumed negative patients are grouped into cohorts in health care, long-term care, and other facilities based on false test results.
False-positive results could lead to a delay in the correct diagnosis and the initiation of an appropriate treatment for the actual cause of patient illness, which could be another life-threatening disease that is not SARS-CoV-2. False-positive results could also lead to further spread of the SARS-CoV-2 virus when presumed positive patients are grouped into cohorts based on false test results (source)
Although the CDC was also a distributor of the RT-PCR Diagnostic Panel they advised that from September 30, 2021, they would no longer happen and that laboratories should transition away from the Diagnostic Panel by the end of 2021 (source). Why would the CDC wait until the end of 2021 to cease the use of the RT-PCR Test?
We are now almost at the second anniversary of the commencement of the governments across the globe terrorising their own people by claiming that there was a deadly new virus due to an initial 44 “cases” of pneumonia with unknown aetiology being discovered.
However, this was a virus that was so deadly, but we had to be tested for it to see if we had it or not....<<<Read More>>>...

The presence of a virus does NOT mean “disease:” PCR testing scheme EXPOSED as total science fraud
The Brownstone Institute put together an excellent paper about this subject that exposes the PCR testing scheme as a fraud.
Before the PCR test was invented in 1983, scientists had to wait for viruses to grow naturally in order to identify them. PCR technology changed all this by rapidly multiplying very small amounts of viral DNA in an exponential series of heating and cooling cycles.
The process is fully automated and only takes about an hour. The problem is that it can be tuned (i.e. misused) to pick up things that are not necessarily there.
“PCR revolutionised molecular biology but its most notable application was in genetic fingerprinting, where its ability to magnify even the smallest traces of DNA became a major weapon in the fight against crime,” the paper explains.
“But, like a powerful magnifying glass or zoom lens, if it’s powerful enough to find a needle in a haystack it’s powerful enough to make mountains out of molehills.”...<<<Read More>>>...
