PCR test changes cause Worl Cases to collapes.

Originally posted by Menta: ↑

In addition to the change in Covid diagnosis issued by the WHO just following the rollout of vaccinations to make it appear that the vaccines are saving us from Covid, UK health officials actually replaced PCR testing with LFD testing to ensure Covid case numbers plunged following vaccination. More smoke & mirrors...

Three huge but unannounced changes regarding 'case' counting in the UK are the keys to reducing the ‘casedemic’;

Interestingly, now they can only count a positive LFD test as a COVID-19 case if accompanied with symptoms or in probable contact with asymptomatic/PCR Positive individual.

These BIG unilateral decisions were:

1. Between 10-20th Nov, PHE started including LFD data in Test Volume & Cases metrics.

2. As of 5th Jan 2021, a massive scaling of asymptomatic LFD tests commenced across community, business, and healthcare staff.

3. As of 27th Jan 2021, Positive LFD tests no longer (on a temp basis) require a confirmatory PCR test to be treated as a case, contact traced and subject to self-isolation rules.

The outcome of these decisions are enormous! Firstly, the affect these decisions had on "cases" and overall test positivity.

Secondly, this allows for the UK Govt to ween themselves off the clinically questionable PCR test.

UK Govt are now performing more LFD than PCR tests.

Moreover, they have been dialing down PCR volumes since early Jan. Lo and behold, look what has been happening to "cases" and positivity.

Currently in the UK, PCR tests have a positivity rate of 11.7% (1 in 9), whilst LFD tests have a tiny value of 0.6% (1 in 167)!

Add the winter seasonality effect on respiratory viruses and mortality burden is tapering down from here on out - and voila!

It’s the perfect story. All thanks to ‘lockdowns, vaccines, travel bans and mask mandates’ - naturally...

It's looking pretty clear, as declared from the outset, that this variant mania instigated mid-December was and is a red herring to get everyone in line for vaccination.

And regarding the vaccine push... well, the timing is awfully convenient, effectively riding on the coattails of this testing pivot, the PCR Ct/weak positive cautions by WHO, and the RV/mortality seasonality curve.

The only fly in the ointment re the Vaccine push is the total mortality data is looking concerning, and there is a lot of scientific concern about the UK strategy of single dosing and experimentation on the most frail.

These testing pivots are considered temporary… so the Govt can swing back to PCR whenever they want/need more cases.

Imagine being at the back of the pack in a 100 metre race at the 50m mark, your hamstring seizes up, and yet you still declare victory...

That is what we are witnessing in the UK by the Govt, MSM, NHS and therefore the suggestible public.

We will cross the line. Spring will come to the rescue and save us from the winter mortality pressures. The significant pivot to LFD testing will mean far less cases, which in turn will mean far less hospitalisations and deaths attributed to COVID.

The sun, more time out in nature, and less permanent anxiety induced by Govt and MSM will give our damaged public health a chance to recover a little. Excess mortality will naturally wane, albeit it's unclear if it can drop to 5YR averages given the substantial negative health impacts of the last 12 months.

BUT, thanking the crowd with a Usain Bolt style dab, whilst planning for life contingent on being vaccinated at this point is simply ludicrous. You'd ONLY do that if the race is rigged for you to win no matter what...

This for me is a sure sign that what we have been witnessing is an elaborate sequence of events to declare vaccine victory, offer a "new normal" to the public, and avert blame for the unprecedented devastation left in the wake of the national and global COVID-justified authoritarianism.
