We need to know where the RNA for which the PCR tests are calibrated comes from.<\/p>\n<p>As textbooks (e.g., White\/Fenner. Medical Virology, 1986, p. 9) as well as leading virus researchers such as\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/www.torstenengelbrecht.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Luc Montagnier or Dominic Dwyer state<\/a>, particle purification \u2014 i.e. the separation of an object from everything else that is not that object, as for instance Nobel laureate Marie Curie purified 100 mg of radium chloride in 1898 by extracting it from tons of pitchblende \u2014 is an essential pre-requisite for proving the existence of a virus, and thus to prove that the RNA from the particle in question comes from a new virus.<\/p>\n<p>The reason for this is that PCR is extremely sensitive, which means it can detect even the smallest pieces of DNA or RNA \u2014 but it cannot determine\u00a0<em>where these particles came from<\/em>. That has to be determined beforehand.<\/p>\n<p>And because the PCR tests are calibrated for gene sequences (in this case RNA sequences because SARS-CoV-2 is believed to be a RNA virus), we have to know that these gene snippets are part of the looked-for virus. And to know that, correct isolation and purification of the presumed virus has to be executed.<\/p>\n<p>Hence, we have asked the science teams of the relevant papers which are referred to in the context of SARS-CoV-2 for proof whether the electron-microscopic shots depicted in their in vitro experiments show purified viruses.<\/p>\n<p>But not a single team could answer that question with \u201cyes\u201d \u2014 and NB., nobody said purification was not a necessary step.

(In this context, it has to be remarked that some researchers use the term \u201cisolation\u201d in their papers, but the procedures described therein do not represent a proper isolation (purification) process. Consequently, in this context the term \u201cisolation\u201d is misused).<\/p>\n<p>Thus, the authors of four of the principal, early 2020 papers claiming discovery of a new coronavirus concede they had no proof that the origin of the virus genome was viral-like particles or cellular debris, pure or impure, or particles of any kind. In other words, the existence of SARS-CoV-2 RNA is based on faith, not fact.<\/p>\n<p>We have also contacted Dr Charles Calisher, who is a seasoned virologist.

[It is] like trying to say whether somebody has bad breath by looking at his fingerprint.\u201d[<a href=\"https:\/\/off-guardian.org\/2020\/06\/27\/covid19-pcr-tests-are-scientifically-meaningless\/#3\">3<\/a>]<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>And that\u2019s why we asked Dr Calisher whether he knows one single paper in which SARS-CoV-2 has been isolated and finally really purified. His answer:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>I know of no such a publication. I have kept an eye out for one.\u201d[<a href=\"https:\/\/off-guardian.org\/2020\/06\/27\/covid19-pcr-tests-are-scientifically-meaningless\/#4\">4<\/a>]<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>This actually means that one cannot conclude that the RNA gene sequences, which the scientists took from the tissue samples prepared in the mentioned in vitro trials and for which the PCR tests are finally being \u201ccalibrated,\u201d belong to a specific virus \u2014 in this case SARS-CoV-2.<\/p>\n<p><strong>In addition, there is no scientific proof that those RNA sequences are the causative agent of what is called COVID-19.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>In order to establish a causal connection, one way or the other, i.e. beyond virus isolation and purification, it would have been absolutely necessary to carry out an experiment that satisfies the four Koch\u2019s postulates. But there is no such experiment, as Amory Devereux and Rosemary Frei\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/off-guardian.org\/2020\/06\/09\/scientists-have-utterly-failed-to-prove-that-the-coronavirus-fulfills-kochs-postulates\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">recently revealed for OffGuardian<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>The necessity to fulfill these postulates regarding SARS-CoV-2 is demonstrated not least by the fact that attempts have been made to fulfill them. But even researchers claiming they have done it, in reality, did not succeed.<\/p>\n<p>One example is a study\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.nature.com\/articles\/s41586-020-2312-y_reference.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">published in\u00a0<em>Nature<\/em>\u00a0on May 7<\/a>. This trial, besides other procedures which render the study invalid, did not meet any of the postulates.<\/p>\n<p>For instance, the alleged \u201cinfected\u201d laboratory mice\u00a0<strong>did not show any relevant clinical symptoms<\/strong>\u00a0clearly attributable to pneumonia, which according to the third postulate should actually occur if a dangerous and potentially deadly virus was really at work there. And the slight bristles and weight loss, which were observed temporarily in the animals are negligible, not only because they could have been caused by the procedure itself, but also because the weight went back to normal again.<\/p>\n<p>Also,\u00a0<strong>no animal died except those they killed to perform the autopsies<\/strong>.

Fauci on March 22, 2020, saying that:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>It has been widely reported in the social media that the RT-qPCR [Reverse Transcriptase quantitative PCR] test kits used to detect SARSCoV-2 RNA in human specimens are generating many false positive results and are not sensitive enough to detect some real positive cases.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>In other words, even if we theoretically assume that these PCR tests can really detect a viral infection, the tests would be practically worthless, and would only cause an unfounded scare among the \u201cpositive\u201d people tested.<\/p>\n<p>This becomes also evident considering the positive predictive value (PPV).<\/p>\n<p>The PPV indicates the probability that a person with a positive test result is truly \u201cpositive\u201d (ie. has the supposed virus), and it depends on two factors: the prevalence of the virus in the general population and the specificity of the test, that is the percentage of people without disease in whom the test is correctly \u201cnegative\u201d (a test with a specificity of 95% incorrectly gives a positive result in 5 out of 100 non-infected people).<\/p>\n<p>With the same specificity, the higher the prevalence, the higher the PPV.<\/p>\n<p>In this context, on June 12 2020, the journal\u00a0<em>Deutsches \u00c4rzteblatt<\/em>\u00a0published an article in which the PPV has been calculated with\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.aerzteblatt.de\/archiv\/214370\/PCR-Tests-auf-SARS-CoV-2-Ergebnisse-richtig-interpretieren\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">three different prevalence scenarios<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>The results must, of course, be viewed very critically, first because it is not possible to calculate the specificity without a solid gold standard, as outlined, and second because the calculations in the article are based on the specificity determined in the study by Jessica Watson, which is potentially worthless, as also mentioned.<\/p>\n<p>But if you abstract from it, assuming that the underlying specificity of 95% is correct and that we know the prevalence, even the mainstream medical journal Deutsches \u00c4rzteblatt reports that the so-called SARS-CoV-2 RT-PCR tests may have \u201ca shockingly low\u201d PPV.<\/p>\n<p>In one of the three scenarios, figuring with an assumed prevalence of 3%, the PPV was only 30 percent, which means\u00a0<strong>that 70 percent of the people tested \u201cpositive\u201d are not \u201cpositive\u201d at all<\/strong>. Yet \u201cthey are prescribed quarantine,\u201d as even the \u00c4rzteblatt notes critically.<\/p>\n<p>In a second scenario of the journal\u2019s article, a prevalence of rate of 20 percent is assumed. In this case they generate a PPV of 78 percent, meaning that\u00a0<strong>22 percent of the \u201cpositive\u201d tests are false \u201cpositives.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>That would mean: If we take the around 9 million people who are currently considered \u201cpositive\u201d worldwide \u2014 supposing that the true \u201cpositives\u201d really have a viral infection \u2014 we would get almost 2 million false \u201cpositives.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>All this fits with the fact that the CDC and the FDA, for instance, concede in their files that the so-called \u201cSARS-CoV-2 RT-PCR tests\u201d are not suitable for SARS-CoV-2 diagnosis.<\/p>\n<p>In the\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.fda.gov\/media\/134922\/download\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">\u201cCDC 2019-Novel Coronavirus (2019-nCoV) Real-Time RT-PCR Diagnostic Panel\u201c<\/a>\u00a0file from March 30, 2020, for example, it says:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>Detection of viral RNA may not indicate the presence of infectious virus or that 2019-nCoV is the causative agent for clinical symptoms\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>And:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>This test cannot rule out diseases caused by other bacterial or viral pathogens.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>And the<a href=\"https:\/\/www.fda.gov\/media\/136151\/download\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">\u00a0FDA admits that<\/a>:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>positive results [\u2026] do not rule out bacterial infection or co-infection with other viruses.

We are Talking About Crimes Against Humanity!!<\/h2>\n<p>Think about the ramifications of what we have just learned from this incredible investigative report that no corporate media source will ever publish. As the corporate media continues to publish stories stating that a second wave is now in place in some parts of the country with a spike in new \u201cCOVID cases,\u201d what does that actually mean?<\/p>\n<p>It means NOTHING! Most of these \u201cnew cases\u201d are asymptomatic \u2013 the people are not even sick!<\/p>\n<p>In some places more people are all of a sudden going to the hospital who are reportedly sick, so what does that mean in terms of COVID \u201coutbreaks\u201d in these new \u201chot spots\u201d that are prompting more shut downs?<\/p>\n<p>It means NOTHING! All it means is more people are using the hospitals for whatever reasons; either they really are sick from something, or they believe they are sick from something, and the media is TELLING them that this \u201csomething\u201d is COVID, of which there is NO ACCURATE TEST AVAILABLE TO PROVE!!<\/p>\n<p>I know I will get emails and comments from people, like I already have, claiming I am wrong, because they know someone who got sick, or they know someone who died, from COVID-19.<\/p>\n<p>No, you do NOT know that! All you \u201cknow\u201d is that they got sick, or died, or tested positive, etc. But if you claim that COVID caused this, you just moved from the realm of reality based on experience and data, to the realm of BELIEF where you attribute this to COVID based on\u00a0<strong>what has been told to you<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>So now that you have been presented with the FACTS that what is being promoted as the most accurate COVID test in the market, the PCR test, is actually \u201cscientifically meaningless,\u201d will you hold on to your faith in COVID?<\/p>\n<p>What about the COVID Vaccine Bill Gates, the WHO, the U.S. Government, and Big Pharma are all rushing to develop and inject into every single human being on the planet?<\/p>\n<p>Is your faith in COVID strong enough to voluntarily get this new vaccine when it comes out? If COVID is truly a HOAX since there is no way to prove its existence through testing, what should we call the vaccine they are developing for this HOAX?<\/p>\n<p>How about a weapon of mass destruction? (WMD)<\/p>\n<p>We didn\u2019t find WMDs when President Bush led our nation to invade and take over Iraq years ago, but pretty soon we will find WMDs in every pharmacy in the U.S. and around the world.<\/p>\n<p>And President Trump has already promised us that the military will be used to deploy this new vaccine.<\/p>\n<p>The measures that have been taken to fight against the unseen enemy of a \u201cvirus\u201d which we now know is a HOAX has caused REAL harm, and death.<\/p>\n<p>I have been reporting for years now how dangerous the flu vaccine is, especially for seniors in assisted living facilities. Every year many die just after getting a flu vaccine that is usually 4X more potent than the regular flu vaccine, and it is NEVER reported in the corporate media.<\/p>\n<p>This year, the causalities in these assisted living facilities were catastrophic and far worse. Why? NOT because of a COVID virus that we now know is a HOAX!<\/p>\n<p>No, these seniors were MURDERED! Most of them are too weak and too frail to fight for themselves, and are dependent on family members and friends who advocate for them and stand up to the bullying tactics used by the Medical System which has little to no regard for their lives.<\/p>\n<p>But because of the lock downs and social isolation, these poor, helpless members of our society were completely cut off from the only ones who could advocate for them, and as a result many of them were murdered.<\/p>\n<p>How long are we going to put up with this America??!!<\/p>\n<p>You better decide fast!\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/healthimpactnews.com\/2020\/covid-increasingly-being-used-to-medically-kidnap-and-traffick-children\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Because they\u2019re coming for your kids next<\/a>\u2026.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Resist wearing a mask!
