there is no guidance providing details on the specific RNA sequences required by testing, a threshold for the test result and the need for confirmatory testing. It is therefore not clear to us what constitutes a positive result

PCR tests are picking up rubbish. Literally. They are picking up “dead virus” so to speak, that is, incomplete viral genome that doesn’t make anybody sick.

Some links about this:

• Clinical, immunological and virological characterization of COVID-19 patients that test re-positive for SARS-CoV-2 by RT-PCR. Among 619 discharged COVID-19 cases, 87 re-tested as SARS-CoV-2 positive in circumstances of social isolation. […] No infectious strain could be obtained by culture and no full-length viral genomes could be sequenced from re-positive cases.
• Coronavirus cases are mounting but deaths remain stable. Why? Evidence is mounting that a good proportion of ‘new’ mild cases and people re-testing positives after quarantine or discharge from hospital are not infectious, but are simply clearing harmless virus particles which their immune system has efficiently dealt with.
• Your Coronavirus Test Is Positive. Maybe It Shouldn’t Be. In three sets of testing data that include cycle thresholds, compiled by officials in Massachusetts, New York and Nevada, up to 90 percent of people testing positive carried barely any virus, a review by The Times found. […] In Massachusetts, from 85 to 90 percent of people who tested positive in July with a cycle threshold of 40 would have been deemed negative if the threshold were 30 cycles, Dr. Mina said. “I would say that none of those people should be contact-traced, not one,” he said.
• Warum alle falsch lagen (English translation: Why everyone was wrong). Even if the infectious viruses are long dead, a corona test can come back positive, because the PCR method multiplies even a tiny fraction of the viral genetic material enough [to be detected]. That’s exactly what happened, when there was the global news, even shared by the WHO, that 200 Koreans who already went through Covid-19 were infected a second time and that there was therefore probably no immunity against this virus. The explanation of what really happened and an apology came only later, when it was clear that the immune Koreans were perfectly healthy and only had a short battle with the virus. The crux was that the virus debris registered with the overly sensitive test and therefore came back as “positive”. It is likely that a large number of the daily reported infection numbers are purely due to viral debris. The PCR test with its extreme sensitivity was initially perfect to find out where the virus could be. But this test can not identify whether the virus is still alive, i.e. still infectous.

Part 1 of 4 of an interview with French professor, Christian Perronne. We hear about HCQ protocols, Ivermectin protocols, and also for the first time—at least for me—a clear explanation of the “Covid19 long haulers” mystery. If I got that right (I might have missed a few words when listening to French-accented English at 2x speed), what’s happening to long haulers is actually nothing new: some infections may lock a person’s immune system into a “poor state”, which means they start getting symptoms from a variety of germs and pathogens that are normally present in the environment and in a person’s body, but that would normally be kept in check by a healthy immune system. In essence, it’s a form of immunodeficiency that’s causing the long-lasting symptoms.

A bio for Dr Perronne in English.

Also, from the interviewer:

Professor Perronne has a long distinguished career in medicine. He was vice-chairman of the National Reference Centre on Tuberculosis and Mycobacteria at the Pasteur Institute in Paris.  He is the past-president of the French College of Professors of Infectious and Tropical Diseases (CMIT). He was president of the Communicable diseases commission at France’s High Council for Public Health (HCSP),  an official body making  recommendations for public health and vaccination policies. 

Since 1994, Professor Christian Perronne has been a leader in the the development of therapies for chronic Lyme disease, which brought him, well before COVID-19, to already challenge the medical establishment about how to treat this disease.

Professor Perronne has also considerable expertise with vaccination, as he is a past vice-president of the European Advisory Group of Experts on Immunisation – an official body advising the World Health Organization.

Professor Perronne was in the heat of the COVID-19 pandemic, as chief of a department of infectious diseases at the Raymond Poincaré University Hospital in Garches, belonging to the Greater Paris University Hospitals group. He used the therapeutic protocol developed in Marseille by Professor Raoult and his team, comprising hydroxychloroquine and azithromycin.

“COVID19 studies that have looked at very early outpatient treatment of high risk ppl, uniformly, every study shows the benefits of taking HCQ with.. AZM, Zinc.. when started in the first.. 5 days.”

Our whole society is politicized—unfortunately, science and medicine are no different. Mass media coverage is very one-sided: they do not cover any of the evidence showing that HCQ and Ivermectin work. They don’t cover the studies showing these drugs work.

Prof. Harvey Risch

Let me put it to you bluntly. Most of the people who have died from Wuhan virus infection would not have died if they had been treated at an early stage of infection with the proper HCQ protocol.

We had been told that a drug that is safe and has been around for ages, all of a sudden had become the most dangerous medicine around. They lied, and that’s obvious.

Now, a study wants to prove that «Hydroxychloroquine is protective to the heart, not Harmful».

Wake up, people. The treatment for Covid-19 was around since before it started. But “for reasons having nothing to do with a correct understanding of science, has been pushed to sidelines”.

“We Know it’s Curable; It’s Easier than Treating the Flu”

Professor Thomas Borody

History will judge the hysteria.

“If we had not been told that there was an epidemic in the country, you would not have known there was such an epidemic and you would not have done anything about it,” he said emphatically. “The fact that this issue runs all day in the media inflates it beyond its natural dimensions. If black death had raged here, as in the 14th century, you would not have had to follow the situation in the news, the bodies would have piled up in the streets. We were not and we are not in this situation today.”

Prof. Qimron noted that the total number of coronavirus deaths does not exceed 0.1% of the total population in any country, and the death rate from coronavirus is less than 0.01% of the total world population, meaning that 99.99% of the world’s population so far has survived the epidemic and the virus is negligibly lethal.

Prof. Qimron is Soon-to-be head the Department of Clinical Microbiology and Immunology at Tel Aviv University
