Another Email to Work Colleagues about Covid Fraud

 Even though I’ve sent a few of these emails, I’m reluctant to do it because I don’t want to be “covid guy”, and also because most people have their minds made up about Covid-19. They either think it’s some type of fraud, or think it’s the possibly the most dangerous thing to threaten humanity ever. This indicates there’s two streams of information about covid and very little real first or second hand experience. I doubt there was any split of opinion and belief on the Black Plague in 14th century in Europe because people could see piles of bodies and empty houses. Evaluation of the reality of Covid is more about belief, opinion, and analysis of data than reality that you can see. My sole second hand experience is “covid” is neither dangerous nor very contagious. My 78 year old mother shrugged it off in a few days after testing positive and having flu like symptoms (a few days after getting a flu shot), but what even constitutes “covid’ is a mystery that can only be solved with a non-specific, fairly inaccurate test.

 
Regardless of your opinion, hopefully the information about vaccine trials and PCR testing in the sources discussed and linked below—New York Times, the FDA, and Anthony Fauci-- is still useful.
 
Here’s a short NY times opinion piece about what constitutes a successful covid vaccine trial: https://www.nytimes.com/2020/09/22/opinion/covid-vaccine-coronavirus.html
According to the protocols for their studies, which they released late last week, a vaccine could meet the companies’ benchmark for success if it lowered the risk of mild Covid-19, but was never shown to reduce moderate or severe forms of the disease, or the risk of hospitalization, admissions to the intensive care unit or death.
The opinion piece also included this little interesting nugget of info, which I’ve been wondering about recently…
 
…influenza vaccines [reduce] the risk of mild disease in healthy adults. But there is no solid evidence they reduce the number of deaths, which occur largely among older people. In fact, significant increases in vaccination rates over the past decades have not been associated with reductions in deaths.
 
If a vaccine for covid or the flu has even mild side effects, then what’s the point of taking it if it’s only proven to spare you from equivalent or lesser symptoms? Plus in the case of the flu vaccine, it apparently doesn’t confer some group protection since there’s no reduction in overall deaths. Moreover, in the case of the covid vaccine, which is a novel approach to vaccination, the risk of longer term side effects is unknown since the trials are so short.
 
Another interesting covid story that came out lately delves into the significance of a positive covid test. It’s significance revolves around a property of the test called “cycle threshold”, that is, at what number of cycles (each one doubles the genetic markers in the sample) is there a detectable amount material. Here’s an interview (https://youtu.be/a_Vy6fgaBPE?t=260) with Anthony Fauci where he explains:
 
If you get a cycle threshold of 35 or more…the chances of it being replication-confident [accurate] are miniscule…you almost never can culture virus from a 37 threshold cycle…even 36…
 
However, the FDA guidelines for covid testing say: [https://www.fda.gov/media/134922/download page 35]
 
“a specimen is considered positive for 2019-nCoV if all 2019-nCoV marker (N1, N2) cycle threshold growth curves cross the threshold line within 40.00 cycles (< 40.00 Ct).”
 
So that’s a pretty weird discrepancy, and is probably why so many positive tests are “asymptomatic”. (like 80%) If they reported that stat along with case counts, it would give much better context for the seriousness (or lack) of covid-19 as a pandemic. That said, the studies and discussions I’ve read state that there’s variation in cycles from test to test platform because different reagents, temperatures, etc… are used to perform the tests.
 
It’s getting increasingly obvious to me that going-along-to-get-along with the government and other institutions’ response to Covid is rapidly eroding our freedom. It boggles my mind every day this drags on. The most basic freedom—freedom of movement is severely curtailed in some “western” countries over a fairly mild illness. Hoping or expecting that the lockdowns, arbitrary mandates from governors, and hysterical mob, etc.. will just go away if we’re all compliant, docile, and passive is delusional. I think the percentage of people who are skeptical of the constant media reporting of cases, cases, cases is actually pretty high. If you speak out, it will encourage others to do so. If you’re reluctant to share your opinion with coworkers, at least write representatives in the state and federal government, or write letters to the editor. I think though, it is way more substantive to share your ideas with people you actually know, because there’s so much more context for any information or ideas you present.
