THE PCR TEST FIASCO

Kevin McKernan is an expert in PCR testing.  This comes from the Tom Woods Show, Episode 1765, "The PCR Testing Fiasco."  From Tom's show notes, he introduces McKernan this way: 

In 2000 Kevin founded Agencourt Biosciences Corporation, which specialized in manufacturing DNA and RNA purification technology known as SPRI. It became the largest private DNA sequencing company at its time and received NHGRI grants to become their fifth genome center.

Beckman Coulter acquired Agencourt in 2005 and jointly spun out Agencourt Personal Genomics, which invented and commercialized the SOLiD Sequencer. Applied Biosystems acquired ApG in 2006.

After five years with Applied Biosystems/Life tech, Kevin left to start Medicinal Genomics and Courtagen Life Sciences.

Courtagen was a high complexity CLIA lab that performed clinical diagnostic testing using PCR and sequencing.

Medicinal Genomics is a cannabis Genomics company that builds Viral and microbial PCR assays for the cannabis field.

McKernan worked at MIT on the human genome project from 1996 to 2000.  

Kary Mullis was the inventor of the PCR Test but died last year.  His criticism of the PCR tests revolved around the controversy as to whether or not HIV was the only virus involved in AIDS.  

New York Times article, "Your Coronavirus Test Is Positive.  Maybe It Shouldn't Be."  

The testing was so sensitive that for all practical purposes, the testing was not useful for anything.  

The news is speaking about this problem like in earthquakes while hiding the Richter Scale.  Hard to have a coherent discussion because the values in these tests aren't being shared.  They're turning what is a very quantitative test into a plus, minus answer.  That's the biggest problem we've got.  We've got to get the CQ or the Cycle Threshold values public.

Incredibly valuable test because you can measure single molecules or a million molecules with the same test.  But they're hiding these value s

LOCKDOWNS KILL PEOPLE, NOT VIRUSES

"He listens to people both inside government--public health officials--and . . . from the academic science, medical scientists, epidemiologists . . ."

Many of the attacks against Trump's handling of the Coronavirus and lockdown are designed to distract from who has the real authority to turn the lockdowns on and off.  When folks claim that Trump isn't following the evidence or the science or the experts, that's a pretty hard one to defend because none of are reporters auditing White House meetings of C-19 Task Force personnel, like Fauci, Redfield, Atlas, and others.  We don't know specifically who Trump is reading or following.  In the clip below, however, Atlas tells us that Trump listens to experts and gets information from scientific journals.  How you can track his decision-making process beyond that is, well, beyond me.  Atlas points to Trump advocating for reopening, but where is that happening?  Why isn't it statewide or country-wide?  If herd immunity is so great, which I am in agreement with its proponents, why are we still hearing about testing and screening badges which is only the preliminary stages for vaccine passports if one ever wants to fly?  It must be a case that there are too many fingers in the pot of COVID with each one profit-seeking on the backs of a crushed economy.  

Atlas says that "Trump stated presciently that the cure cannot be worse than the problem."  

Okay, so that sounds like Trump was a sound, astute advisor to public policymakers on COVID, but was he really?  I like Atlas.  His voice on the White House COVID Task Force is a breath of fresh air against the vaccine-only narrative that Fauci is nursing.  And yet I hear Atlas parrot the same remarks regarding vaccine.  At the 4:02 mark, Atlas says

This is a national strategy the President articulated.  He says it all the time, and in the meantime, he's doing a lot of great things, like as a patient he's showed recently like Operation Warpspeed with new drug development, facilitating the record timing of a safe and effective vaccine that we anticipate very soon. 

"Stopping COVID-19 at all costs is highly destructive."  Atlas is right on this.  

Dr. Scott Atlas:
These lockdowns are a luxury of the rich. The President understands that people need to work, the working-class need their jobs, children need to go to school, it's harmful to do otherwise. || #IngrahamAngle #Covid19 pic.twitter.com/1VTOUHS2OQ

He continues, 

46% of the top 6 cancers went undiagnosed during the first 3 months of this lockdown.  And what that means is more than half of breast cancers, by the way.  This is just the tip of the iceberg.  It's not just that hospitals were closed, it was that fear was instilled, sort of a frenzy of fear in the American public and all over the world.  What we see is that of the 650,000 people on chemotherapy, half didn't get their chemo.  We had 2/3 of cancer screenings not get done.  Half of child immunizations weren't getting done.  And the other impacts are even more harmful.  25% of kids in the United States, 18-24, one-fourth had suicidal ideation, meaning that they thought of suicide, during the month of June.  I mean this is so destructive, not just to our children who are being harmed by the school closures but really this lockdown would be what I'd call the luxury of the rich.  This is really a class problem here, where the affluent elites don't understand--the President understands--that people need to work.  The working class needs their jobs.  Children need to go to school.  And it's very harmful to do otherwise.  

Ingraham interrupts him, saying

Working-class people are doing better in the states that did not lockdown or already reopened.  What does Biden mean by "national strategy"?  There's a complete fallacy that President Trump is not following the science.  President Trump follows the science.  He listens to people both inside government--public health officials--and he also gets information from the academic science, medical scientists, epidemiologists, from places like Harvard and Stanford and Oxford, top people in the world, and these people agree very much with his strategy--protect the vulnerable as much as we can, and open up because of the harms of that.  This is a national strategy the President articulated.  He says it all the time, and in the meantime, he's doing a lot of great things, like as a patient he's showed recently like Operation Warpspeed with new drug development, facilitating the record timing of a safe and effective vaccine that we anticipate very soon.  

NIH policy regarding COVID is to wear a mask when you cannot social distance? 

So now I have my doubts about Atlas. 

"Instead of pursuing research on treatment, the pharmaceutical industry has focused solely on vaccination"

What I liked about her presentation is that she explains what a lot of the terms thrown around in the war on COVID mean, explanations that you'll never hear from AIDS, and now COVID, pitchman, Fauci.  She explains where the highest numbers of deaths from COVID are coming from.  She explains why in the sub-Sarahan Desert there were no deaths.  She's terrific.  

I am doubling down on the videos here in this post because there's no guarantee that YouTube won't pull the one below.  The original of this video I found at LRC, by Lew Rockwell, a video that is uploaded on Bitchute.  In searching for some details on Dr. Lee D. Merritt, an orthopedist from Onawa, Iowa, I came across this article where the video below was posted.  

From the article, she writes

For decades, physicians have been taught—and have told patients—that antimicrobials do not help viral diseases. But when studying the response of COVID-19 to the antimicrobial agents chloroquine (CQ) and hydroxychloroquine (HCQ), Lee Merritt, M.D., writes, in the fall issue of the Journal of American Physicians and Surgeons: “Like Rip Van Winkle, I suddenly awoke, after decades, to a completely new medical reality.” 

That, to me, is a very interesting find.  Turns out that there are more antimicrobials that treat viruses, and she explains how they work. 

In a quick internet search, she found more than 20 scientific papers, written in the last 40 years, on the use of lysosomotropic agents to treat viruses. These agents—which affect the cellular organelle involved in viral penetration and replication, include CQ, HCQ, and the common antibiotic azithromycin.

Several antibiotics, including doxycycline, metronidazole, and ciprofloxacin, have been shown to have activity against many viruses, she writes.

And this statement struck me as profound since she hit the nail on the head.  From a deluge of reporting on cases, deaths, spikes, surges, and so forth, it is all, and I mean all of it including the lockdown to impress upon the world what a grave force we're facing.  I contend that it is bad marketing, marketing by fear to achieve the end of increasing the percentage of vaccinated individuals a hundredfold.  This is not about COVID, which has been proven over and over that it is your standard cold virus and nothing more serious.  She writes, 

Instead of pursuing research on treatment, the pharmaceutical industry has focused solely on vaccination to respond to viral diseases, she observes. But vaccines have drawbacks. Dr. Merritt lists incomplete immunity and “immune enhancement,” which can worsen disease outcomes. 

And this was good:

"Vaccination is not a panacea. It was once the last resort to the treatment of disease. In the age of huge vaccine profit it has become the first choice for every disease,” she states.

Dr. Merritt discusses the “war against hydroxychloroquine.” Politicians and media falsely claimed that HCQ is “experimental”—it has been approved and widely used for more than 65 years—or that “off label” prescribing is illegal—it is common for many drugs.

“Never have I seen such political brawling over a legal pharmaceutical.”

And this just shocks me, leaving my jaw bouncing off the floor.  

Dr. Merritt states that the pharmaceutical truth about the treatment of viral diseases has been suppressed for 40 years by methods including censorship, regulatory capture, and control of research funding. But with COVID, she writes that physicians and patients who have awakened to the “biggest lie” are beginning to say, “Yes, Virginia, antibiotics and other antimicrobials do treat viruses.”
