Hey, I see you baby!! Follow the money pcr test vs antigen

Always always always… it’s such a cliche that you tend to ignore it… follow the money.

So case in point big pharma took a massive hit after the opioid crisis money spinner (OxyContin and all - Dopesick is an excellent series to watch for reference) was all but shut down - the timeline for introducing the next cash cow was on.

At the start introduce pcr tests , these are the industry standard , introduce a secondary test… antigen/lateral flow … (sshhh … these aren’t as reliable as pcr tests… but just a safety valve, ignore the false positives .. we’re talking about PCR today..)

Stage 2 - antigen are good enough in “some” situations
Stage 3 - there’s no pcr (accurate/correct) tests available, antigen are good enough …
Stage 4- u need a regular antigen test cause they’re only valid for a month.
Stage 5. - that antigen test u got that validates your status ( doesn’t matter if it says positive or negative , ur still getting in, u just need the regular up to date status test) , that gets you into restaurants, pubs, cinemas, now costs u 10bucks a month.

….. …. Months worth of prescription 120mgs OxyContin cost nothing.

Antigen tests are compulsory, OxyContin was somewhat voluntary… free money!!!

How much they making now?




push injections to set a baseline , get everybody registered .
Then

Per latest uk ruling….

Furthermore, from 4am on Sunday 9 January, the fully vaccinated and under 18s will be able to take a lateral flow (antigen) rather than a more expensive PCR test for their post-arrival test.

It’s nothing to do with population reduction, but , like the Kennedy assassination, several parties came together in a perfect storm to take advantage of the pandemic

Oh- and fyi, how do u increase the number of positive cases? - mandate antigen tests and include (false positive) antigen tests in the numbers…

They are working overtime to bury coronavirus patents and test kit documentations, but here are a few takeaways from the limitations section of the SD Biosensor Rapid Antigen kit:

LIMITATIONS
3. The test should be used for the detection of SARS-CoV-2 antigen from human nasopharyngeal swab specimens. 11. Positive tests do not differentiate between SARS-CoV-2 and SARS-CoV 1.

You may not have covid 2.

8. Negative results should be treated as presumptive and confirmed with an FDA authorized molecular assay, if necessary, for clinical management, including infection control. 

You are never quite negative, so you won't leave the isolation or monitoring (camps) with a negative result.

9. If the differentiation of specific SARS viruses and strains is needed, additional testing, in consultation with state or local public health departments, is required.

It can't tell you if you have any variants, so where are the case numbers coming from?

10. Positive test results do not rule out co-infections with other pathogens.

Your illness may be from something else. You could be 100% asymptomatic with zero ill effects from covid, but you're still eligible for isolation and monitoring, or an ill-advised treatment plan at the hospital.

13. HBV, HCV, HIV, Pneumocystis jirovecii (PJP) and Staphylococcus salivarius are not tested.

They didn't challenge the test with normal flora (salivarus)?

Rothia mucilaginosa is a normal inhabitant of the human oral cavity and respiratory tract. It is an infrequent pathogen, mostly affecting severely immunocompromised patients.
Obsolete names for R. mucilaginosa are Staphylococcus salivarius, Micrococcus mucilaginosus and Stomatococcus mucilaginosus.

Would be interesting to see if salivarius tests positive for covid.

15. Performance of this device has not been assessed on specimens from individuals who have been infected with emerging new variants of SARS-CoV-2, including the UK SARS-CoV-2 variant, SARS-CoV-2 VOC 202012/01 (B.1.1.7) or the new South Africa SARS-CoV-2 variant, 501Y.V2 
16. The performance of this device has not been assessed in a population vaccinated against COVID-19.

They didn't challenge the test against vaccinated people or people said to have variants?  They, by all actual scientific reasoning, should of had isolates to challenge the test with during development; but there are none. 

A key note with the above, is that the antigens for cov-1 and 2 cross react.  Meaning, monoclonal antibodies for cov-1 could have been used effectively from day one.  No need for any vaccine in the first place; still isn't.

That’s a very good sideline misdirect from the original thread….

Maybe start your own monoclonal antibody thread…. Stop misdirecting off the main point…
I see u .

Your post is about antigen tests. My post covers the limitations of the antigen tests. How is that a misdirect?

Simple. The post wasn’t about the limitation of antigen tests, it was a completely different topic about how antigen tests are to be compulsory implemented by the government/WHO on a financial and control perspective . A detailed explanation of the specifics of what an antigen test is at least off topic…

Feel free to start your own about what exactly the antigen test involves… you can answer any and all rebuttals on that one.
