"The human lungs inhale up to 12 000 l of air a day, containing over 100 billion particles, chemicals and pathogens"

If the "frontline defense" of the respiratory tract is a mucus layer that traps and neutralizes pathogens, why would anyone think finding "a virus" in the mucus of your nasopharynx means anything other than your mucus is performing it's job as designed? Especially since "the virus" went around the world in less than 60 days it would seem any test looking for "the virus" is just confirming what was already claimed - that it went around the world and can periodically be found trapped in various animals' respiratory mucus.

If the PCR tests were replaced with a gizmo with a 0% false positive rate that only returns a positive result if it finds a complete, in-tact, replication competent and fully infectious viral genome while discarding "defective viral genomes" or viral fragments from positive test results, I still don't see how "finding the virus" means anything at all. Perhaps if the test quantified the "number of such virions" relative to some base rate known not to be associated with disease.

Hence the scourge of “asymptomatic infected “- the true walking zombies of the “pandemic” - poor sods never had any idea they were “infected” unless they were PCR-ed. Imagine - a virus so severe, so novel, so deadly, you had to be tested to know you had it. C’mon people, wake up.

Interesting post and new information( for me). The not 'gold standard' PCR ( so declared by WHO, early in 2020 ) is obviously crucial for 'pandemics', their linchpin, in fact. Also, allied to the production of 'vaccines' in 100 days....'test' - 'case numbers'- ' vaccines', to counterfact the 'cases' - 'testing ongoing' - 'cases' on the up (exponential)- 'boosters' - 'tests' ( of the moonshot variety)- what a profitable merry go round. 'They' are all in it together.....'outsiders' kept firmly outside through cancellation, censorship.

Thanks Jonathan for your excellent and detailed piece. I wrote a literature review 25 years ago on PCR testing when it was mainly used to find an “HIV viral load” in people diagnosed as HIV positive. Turns out none of the HIV tests are reliable, but the PCR test was considered to have the highest rate of false positives according to conventional beliefs about hiv positivity. All of these tests tend to be non-specific markers of inflammation, which is not necessarily a permanent state but waxes and wanes. However, a person with a persistent inflammatory state may test positive consistently for extended periods, and their inflammatory health problems get blamed on “the virus“..

Below is a link to my paper for those that want a bit of a deep dive. These days I prefer just to quote one or two of the key studies such as the study by Mendoza at all: small but very revealing series of false positive results.

''In our view, current PCR testing is therefore not the appropriate gold standard for evaluating a SARS-CoV-2 public health test.''

The PCR Test was never intended to be used for Coronavirus. It was another method to scare you into getting their vaccines, along with masks, herd immunity, or any nudging tactic which worked: President Trump declared a national emergency in March 2020, making the pandemic eligible for government action under the Defense Production Act.

President Trump said he invoked the Defense Production Act more than 100 times to facilitate Operation Warp Speed.

President Trump for the US Army, purchased Pfizer's vaccines on 21st July 2020. Trump was the only person with the authority he gave himself, to be able to do that with his "Operation Warp Speed".

The Department Of The Army US Army Contracting Command – New Jersey Picatinny Arsenal, New Jersey 07806-5000 for a Large Scale Vaccine Manufacturing Demonstration (Pfizer, Inc)

You will find Operation Warp Speed mentioned in that contract, in the 3rd paragraph down.

The vaccinated are countermeasure prototypes, for the US Army, to see the objective of a Covid-19 (vaccines) countermeasure, in the impairment of the operational effectiveness of enemy activity" by spike protein,the most antigenic and toxic part of a coronavirus" (vaccine) based on the measurable effects of their (the vaccines) deployment", by the US military's own definitions of terms used in Operation Warp Speed contracts, the (vaccine) products it commissioned "amount to bioweapons" and the vaccinated are part of the US Army experiment to see the effectiveness of their Covid-19 vaccines weapon, as explained below:

The injection of these "countermeasure prototype vaccines" which satisfy the US military definition of a biological agent into people has killed some recipients and permanently disabled increasingly large numbers of others, "resulting in their (vaccines) operational effectiveness based on the measurable effects of their (vaccines) deployment", by the US military's own definitions of (vaccines) terms used in Operation Warp Speed contracts, the (vaccines) products it commissioned "amount to bioweapons".

The US military defines a biological agent as a micro-organism (or toxin derived from it) that causes disease.

Vaccines are regulated by the US Food and Drug Administration as biological products, therefore they can be described as biological agents.

The mRNA (ModRNA) products instruct recipients cells to make a form of its spike protein, the most antigenic and, some researchers argue, toxic part of a coronavirus.

By the US military's own definition, The US Army Covid-19 vaccines bioweapon provides "the objective of a countermeasure which is the impairment of the operational effectiveness of enemy activity" by spike protein,the most antigenic and toxic part of a coronavirus,as a weapon,is proven,but for the vaccinated, they are the vaccine experiment then.

The end result expected, to achieve a world population, down from 8.5 billion down to 250 million within the next few years and on target to achieve that, according to Deagles, better known as "The Great Reset" which you have volunteered to be part of by agreeing to be vaccinated (it only applies to the vaccinated)

We had a pseudo-pandemic driven by false testing using testing protocols that were created to find positives. Simple as that. Much like the meme about poorer African nations not caring or knowing about the “pandemic” because they didn’t spend all day glued to Covid doom porn news updates from the MSM, it’s abundantly clear that almost no one would have known we lived through anything more than a bad flu if we hadn’t been conned as a society to adopt mass testing.

I recall in early 2022 here in Western Australia, our state government handing out rapid antigen test kits (RATs) like candy and making them out to be this accurate test for covid, compelling the population to use them almost weekly … well within days the state was “suffering from” thousands of positive “cases” and our “experts” were in a state of panic about the “threat” … all from something which couldn’t test Covid from a sprained ankle.

And what about its inventor? Sad loss (and a tinsy bit suspicious given what came after..)

For all I know I might have Jimmy Hoffa in my lungs.
