Last Friday, John Rappoport, veteran investigative reporter who was nominated for a Pulitzer Prize, published the following:
“The COVID delusion is finished, blown apart… smoking gun. Jackpot. Right from the horse’s mouth. Right from the man, we’re told is the number one COVID expert in the nation. What Fauci says is the golden truth…
On the 16 July 16, 2020, podcast, ‘This Week in Virology:’ Tony Fauci makes a point of saying the PCR COVID test is useless and misleading when the test is run at 35 cycles or higher. He said, ‘… if you get to [perform the test at] a cycle threshold of 35 or more… the chances of it being replication-confident [a.k.a. accurate] are miniscule… you almost never can culture virus [detect a true positive result] from a 37 threshold cycle… even 36.’”
Rappoport continues,
“What Fauci failed to say on the video is: the FDA, which authorizes the test for public use, recommends the test should be run up to 40 cycles. Not 35. (This is confirmable on the CDC web site). Therefore, all labs in the US that follow the FDA guideline are knowingly or unknowingly participating in fraud. Fraud on a monstrous level, because… The total number of COVID cases in America – which is based on the test – is a gross falsity. The lockdowns and other restraining measures are based on these fraudulent case numbers.
Let me back up and run that by you again. Fauci says the test is useless when it’s run at 35 cycles or higher. The FDA says run the test up to 40 cycles, in order to determine whether the virus is there. This is the crime in a nutshell.”
Note: Dr. Marie L. Landry, Director of the Clinical Virology Laboratory at Yale New Haven Hospital, made note of the fact that according to the New Times 29 August report, ‘In a NY state lab, 50% of recent positives had PCR cycle levels over 35.’”
Additionally, a letter signed in August by hundreds of Belgian doctors stated, “According to the CDC in the United States, reducing it from 40 to 30 test cycles would reduce ‘positive cases’ by 70% as the test now responds to genetic material and old infections.”
Mr. Rappoport cites the 29 August New York Times article revelation stating, “This number of amplification cycles need to find the virus, called the cycle threshold, is never included in the results sent to doctors and coronavirus patients.”
He concludes, “Millions of Americans are being told they are infected with the virus on the basis of a false positive result… The total number of COVID cases in America – which is based on the test – is a gross falsity.”
TRENDPOST: According to The New York Times investigation, when someone having taken the PCR test is told they have tested positive, the important cycle threshold number isn’t provided.
Many of those told they are infectious have cycle numbers over 35, which most likely means while the coronavirus is present, it’s at such a low level the person isn’t infectious, according to a number of infectious disease experts including Dr. Anthony Fauci.
It should also be noted that on 29 September, Science Magazine wrote this about the “gold standard” PCR test: “The same sample can give different CT (cycle threshold) values on different testing machines, and different swabs from the same person can give different results. ‘The CT value isn’t an absolute scale,’ says Marta Gaglia, a virologist at Tufts University. That makes many clinicians wary.’”
