WHO Finally Admits COVID-19 PCR Test Has a ‘Problem’

In an “inauguration” of its own, while Joe Biden was being sworn into office, the World Health Organization (WHO) initiated new rules regarding the PCR assays used for testing for COVID-19.

Even though they’ve been widely used across the U.S. and around the world to determine who has a positive case of COVID, PCR assays are not designed to be used as diagnostic tools, as they can’t distinguish between inactive viruses and “live” or reproductive ones.

Besides that, previously, the WHO had recommended 45 “amplification” cycles of the test to determine whether someone was positive for COVID or not.

The thing is, the more cycles that a test goes through, the more likely that a false positive will come up — anything over 30 cycles actually magnifies the samples so much that even insignificant sequences of viral DNA end up being magnified to the point that the test reads positive even if your viral load is extremely low or the virus is inactive and poses no threat to you or anyone else.

What that means in plain language is that the more cycles a test goes through, the more false positives that are reported.

Now, with the WHO’s lower PCR thresholds, it’s practically guaranteed that COVID “case” numbers will automatically drop dramatically around the world.

Here’s in-part what the WHO notice says:

“Users of IVDs must read and follow the IFU carefully to determine if manual adjustment of the PCR positivity threshold is recommended by the manufacturer.”

“WHO guidance Diagnostic testing for SARS-CoV-2 states that careful interpretation of weak positive results is needed (1). The cycle threshold (Ct) needed to detect virus is inversely proportional to the patient’s viral load. Where test results do not correspond with the clinical presentation, a new specimen should be taken and retested using the same or different NAT technology.

“WHO reminds IVD users that disease prevalence alters the predictive value of test results; as disease prevalence decreases, the risk of false positive increases (2). This means that the probability that a person who has a positive result (SARS-CoV-2 detected) is truly infected with SARS-CoV-2 decreases as prevalence decreases, irrespective of the claimed specificity.

“Most PCR assays are indicated as an aid for diagnosis, therefore, health care providers must consider any result in combination with timing of sampling, specimen type, assay specifics, clinical observations, patient history, confirmed status of any contacts, and epidemiological information.”


My Dundas Valley Editorial Comment:

Of course, Trump is gone, China is happy, the vaccines have been sold, billionaires have made a fortune in the panic-shattered market, so the “pandemic” has fulfilled its mission and is no longer needed. We’ll defeat Covid-19 soon, officials will get medals and bonuses, and everything will be back to normal. Or maybe I am too optimistic?

The new instructions were published by WHO on January 20, 2021, and on January 22, Dr. Anthony Fauci, the NIAID director and chief medical advisor to the US President announced that COVID-19 vaccines currently available on the market may not be effective in protecting against new, more contagious strains of coronavirus. As you can see, each action is accompanied by the opposite reaction, (and not only in physics).

When I read the new WHO guidelines, I am reminded that the same message was delivered by a French physician, Dr. Pascal Sacré, whose articles [ 1 ], [ 2 ], [ 3 ], [ 4 ],
[ 5 ], [ 6 ] I have recently copied here. For publishing these articles Dr. Pascal Sacré was fired from his job and accused of spreading false information. This is how you can trust the official promoters of the “pandemic”. Needless to say, the same organizations and institutions are promoting anti-Covid “vaccines”, today .
