Smoking gun: Fauci states COVID PCR test has fatal flaw; confession from the “beloved” expert of experts

The COVID PCR test is a complete fraud

by Jon Rappoport

February 22, 2021

(To join our email list, click here.)

This article is part of my current series on the COVID PCR test [1]. These articles prove that the test is fatally flawed, gives rise to hugely inflated and false case numbers, which in turn lead to the unnecessary and brutal lockdowns.

I’m hoping readers will spread this information far and wide.

OK, here we go. 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 golden truth.

Well, how about THIS?

July 16, 2020, podcast, “This Week In Virology” [2]: 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.” A positive result, indicating infection, cannot be accepted or believed.

Here, in techno-speak, is an excerpt from Fauci’s key quote (starting at the 3m50s mark) [2]: “…If you get [perform the test at] a cycle threshold of 35 or more…the chances of it being replication-competent [aka accurate] are miniscule…you almost never can culture virus [detect a true positive result] from a 37 threshold cycle…even 36…”

Each “cycle” of the test is a quantum leap in amplification and magnification of the test specimen taken from the patient.

Too many cycles, and the test will turn up all sorts of irrelevant material that will be wrongly interpreted as relevant.

That’s called a false positive.

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.

Therefore, all labs in the US that follow the FDA guideline are knowingly or unknowingly participating in fraud. Fraud on a monstrous level, because…

Millions of Americans are being told they are infected with the virus on the basis of a false positive result, and…

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.

“Hello, America, you’ve been tricked, lied to, conned, and taken for a devastating ride. On the basis of fake science, the country was locked down.”

If anyone in the Congress has a few brain cells operating, pull Fauci into a televised hearing and, in ten minutes, make mincemeat out of the fake science that has driven this whole foul, stench-ridden assault on the global economy and its 8 billion citizens.

All right, here are two chunks of evidence for what I’ve written above. First, we have a CDC quote on the FDA website, in a document titled [3] [3a] [3b]: “CDC 2019-Novel Coronavirus (2019-nCoV) Real-Time RT-PCR Diagnostic Panel For Emergency Use Only.” See pdf page 38 (doc page 37). This document is marked, “Effective: 12/01/2020.” That means, even though the virus is being referred to by its older name, the document is still relevant as of Dec 2020. “For Emergency Use Only” refers to the fact that the FDA has certified the PCR test under a traditional category called “Emergency Use Authorization.”

FDA: “…a specimen is considered positive for 2019-nCoV [virus] if all 2019-nCoV marker (N1, N2) cycle threshold growth curves cross the threshold line within 40.00 cycles ([less than] 40.00 Ct).”

Naturally, MANY testing labs reading this guideline would conclude, “Well, to see if the virus is there in a patient, we should run the test all the way to 40 cycles. That’s the official advice.”

Then we have a New York Times article (August 29/updated September 17) headlined: “Your coronavirus test is positive. Maybe it shouldn’t be.” [4] Here are money quotes:

“Most tests set the limit at 40 [cycles]. A few at 37.”

“Set the limit” would usually mean, “We’re going to look all the way to 40 cycles, to see if the virus is there.”

The Times: “This number of amplification cycles needed to find the virus, called the cycle threshold, is never included in the results sent to doctors and coronavirus patients…”

Boom. That’s the capper, the grand finale. Labs don’t or won’t reveal their collusion in this crime.

Get the picture?

I hope so.

If a lawyer won’t go to court with all this, or if a judge won’t pay attention and see the light, they should be stripped of their jobs and sent to the Arctic to sell snow.

White House Enlists Social Media Giants to Suppress Vaccine ‘Misinformation’

ORIGINAL LINK

The White House is asking Big Tech giants Facebook, Twitter and Alphabet Inc.’s Google to “clamp down on chatter that deviates from officially distributed COVID-19 information,” according to the New York Post and other news reports.

Reuters reported that Biden, concerned that “fear about taking the vaccine has emerged as a major impediment” to his administration’s pandemic plan, wants help from the social media moguls to keep “misinformation” from going viral.

“Vaccine hesitancy is a huge obstacle to getting everyone vaccinated and there are no larger players in that than the social media platforms,” a White House source told Reuters late last week.

Biden’s Chief of Staff Ron Klain had previously said information questioning the COVID vaccine has caused others to question the vaccine. But the news out of Washington last week was the first sign that officials are directly engaged with Silicon Valley in censoring social media users, according to Reuters.

“Social media tycoons are now openly serving as government surrogates in censoring factually accurate information that departs from government policies and pronouncements,” said Robert F. Kennedy, Jr., co-founder and chair of Children’s Health Defense.

The Biden administration wants to make sure that unfavorable material does not start trending on social media or become an even broader movement, citing concerns over a recent anti-vaccine protest at Los Angeles Dodgers Stadium which was organized through a Facebook page.

“We are talking to [social media companies] … so they understand the importance of misinformation and disinformation and how they can get rid of it quickly,” a White House source explained.

Sen. Richard Blumenthal (D-N.Y.) last week criticized social media companies in a tweet accusing Facebook and Twitter of moving too slowly in responding to targeted harassment of people getting vaccinated and what Blumenthal described as “dangerous conspiracy theories.”

A spokesperson for Facebook told Reuters the company has reached out to the White House to offer any assistance they can provide and recently announced a new policy to remove COVID information the company deems false, along with pages, groups and accounts that repeatedly spread such material.

Twitter stated the company is in “regular communication with the White House on a number of critical issues including COVID-19 misinformation.”

Google did not comment on engagement with the White House but did point to a company blog on how it stops the spread of misinformation.

In August, 2020 Children’s Health Defense filed a lawsuit charging Facebook, Mark Zuckerberg and several fact-checking organizations with censoring truthful public health posts and for fraudulently misrepresenting and defaming the children’s health organization.

The complaint alleges that Facebook has insidious conflicts with the pharmaceutical industry and health agencies and raised detailed factual allegations regarding the CDC, CDC Foundation, and WHO’s extensive relationships and collaborations with Facebook and Zuckerberg calling into question Facebook’s joint action in a censorship campaign with the government.

Earlier this month, Kennedy’s Instagram account was deplatformed without advance notice for what the media claimed were “false COVID claims” or “vaccine misinformation.” Some reports falsely characterized Kennedy as an “anti-vaxxer.”

Kennedy unequivocally rejects those characterizations. He wrote in response to Instagram’s censorship:

“Every statement I put on Instagram was sourced from a government database, from peer-reviewed publications and from carefully confirmed news stories. None of my posts were false. Facebook, the pharmaceutical industry and its captive regulators use the term ‘vaccine misinformation’ as a euphemism for any factual assertion that departs from official pronouncements about vaccine health and safety, whether true or not. This kind of censorship is counterproductive if our objective is a safe and effective vaccine supply.”

As Kennedy has stated numerous times, “for a democracy to function, civil debate of issues — including vaccine science — must be allowed. Censorship of that debate is anathema to democracy.”

Many reports have raised serious questions about the safety of COVID vaccines, including adverse reactions and other possible long-term complications that deserve debate, Kennedy said.

The Defender reported in January that a Florida doctor died three days after receiving Pfizer’s COVID vaccine. An expert on blood disorders at Johns Hopkins said in an interview with The New York Times, “I think it is a medical certainty that the vaccine was related.”Earlier this month, the CDC announced it was investigating the death of a 36-year-old doctor in Tennessee who died from an extremely rare multisystem inflammatory syndrome one month after getting his second dose of a COVID vaccination.

Drene Keyes, whose death is under investigation, died hours after receiving her first dose of Pfizer’s COVID vaccine. She experienced flash pulmonary edema likely caused by anaphylaxis, a life-threatening allergic reaction, which some have experienced after receiving the COVID vaccine.

According to new data released Friday, as of Feb. 12, 15,923 adverse reactions to COVID vaccines, including 929 deaths, have been reported to the CDC’s Vaccine Adverse Event Reporting System since Dec. 14, 2020. One-third of reported deaths occurred within 48 hours of receiving the COVID vaccine.

“While social media companies are private entities with rights to censor information they don’t like, the involvement of the government in censorship efforts implicates the First Amendment,” Kennedy said.

A Deleted Bill Gates Documentary Has Been Revived

ORIGINAL LINK

Contrary to popular perception, Bill Gates did not invent the original Microsoft operating system and by the early 2000s, Gates was universally reviled for his mercenary, back-stabbing business practices against competitors and his closest associates, alike.

After Microsoft lost its antitrust cases with the governments of the US and the EU, Bill Gates took cues from the late John D Rockefeller in order to transform his public persona from the world’s most ruthless monopolist to the world’s most generous philanthropist. Today, he is the Planetary Vaccinator-in-Chief, who has inflicted death and untold damage on victims in India and Africa with his HPV and polio vaccines. This excerpt from the documentary film, ‘Plandemic’ charts this transformation.

You cannot find a person promoting coronavirus alarmism who’s not part of the interlocking directorates of the World Health Organization, the CDC, the NIAID or the philanthropic organizations that are the cover organizations that fund them, most of them controlled by Bill Gates.

There are over 1,300 patents that are issued and held by organizations that are multiple recipients of funding, through the Gates Foundation and others and all of them also have links to Anthony Fauci’s NIAID’s funding sources. The conflicts of interest, in the funding and in the decision-making and in the inside knowledge between competitor organizations constitute violations of the antitrust laws of the United States, which are Federal crimes.

Sadly, Big Pharma companies have bribed everybody and are holding the entire medical industry hostage, from the medical schools, to the regulators, to the journals. Outside of paying fines as a cost of doing business, they have no accountability, whereas, in the old days, such CEOs would do jail time.

This can be traced back to the Rockefellers, who became the godfathers of the pharmaceutical industry, when they promoted patentable petroleum-based chemicals as the gold standard, to replace the herbal medicines that had been administered for centuries. More than anyone, physicians are the victims of the stranglehold of Big Pharma on the medical industry.

In 2019, Gates declared that vaccines were the greatest investment he had ever made, turning $10 million into $200 million worth of economic benefit. As a top donor to both the WHO and CDC, no one man has more power than Bill Gates to influence and control the health and medical freedom of all people.

Ronald Reagan’s signing of the 1986 National Childhood Vaccine Injury Act, granted total immunity to vaccine manufacturers. To this day, when someone is injured by a vaccine, it is the US taxpayer who pays for the damages.

India paid a very high price after the highly-unethical administering of the Gardasil vaccine to young ethnic minority girls. They were told they were being given a “cure for cancer” but many were severely injured and seven died. The Gates Foundation denied involvement and there was no recourse for tens of thousands of young women. The Indian government studied what happened and issued a scathing report, which resulted in the Indian Parliament’s vote to kick the Gates Foundation out of the country.

A 2018 study found that 491,000 children in India suffered paralysis as a result of the Gates-supported oral polio vaccine administered between 2010-2017. As usual, the US-based fact-checking websites rushed to bury the story. Somehow, the Gates Foundation has managed to get back into India, sponsoring clinical trials for a COVID-19 vaccine.

Neither Bill nor Melinda Gates is trained in medicine and yet they control GAVI, the Global Alliance for Vaccines and Immunization. GAVI is now being sued by some of the world’s poorest and most vulnerable nations for the unconscionable harm they have caused through their vaccine programs. Many Africans and Black Americans are beginning to wake up to this problem.

It would take hours to list all of the questionable initiatives backed by Bill Gates. But here are some highlights:

Stratospheric-Controlled Perturbation Experiment (aka Geoengineering), Bill Gates is the one of the primary funders of geoengineering, to dim the atmosphere in order to “mitigate” Climate Change. Critics have called this a “Global Genocide Experiment”.
EarthNow Global Surveillance Project, which will launch 500 satellites fitted with video cameras to provide real-time, 24/7 monitoring of all people everywhere.
Quantum Dot Tattoo, developed with MIT is a system to inject vaccines under your skin, along with your medical records, that can be scanned by authorities using a cellphone app, as part of the “Immunity Passports” scheme for those who have “proof” of recovery from COVID-19.
Oxitec, a biotech company funded by Bill Gates has been approved to release GM mosquitoes in various US states to help fight malaria. According to the NIH website, there are programs being developed to allow human immunization through mosquito bites.

Then of course, there is Bill Gates’ questionable association with Jeffrey Epstein, which he denies. However, a New York Times investigation revealed that not only did Gates initiate a relationship with Jeffrey Epstein, long after he had already been convicted of sex crimes but that the two were in the process of co-founding a multi-billion-dollar charitable fund.

Why would one of the richest men in the world choose to partner with the world’s most notorious pedophile? Why would one of the richest men in the world want to vaccinate the entire global population with CRISPR gene-editing technology that has not been approved for use in humans?

It’s important to understand that the COVID-19 vaccines are currently being developed under the PREP Act, which was passed in the wake of 9/11 and the Anthrax Scare and it gives blanket liability protection to the entire medical industry, in order to “encourage expeditious development and deployment of medical countermeasures during a health emergency.”

In other words, if you take COVID-19 vaccines, you are absolutely on you own. If you’re permanently injured, if you lose your job, if your healthcare expenses go through the roof, tough luck.

Lawyer, David E Martin says, “This isn’t a vaccine story, this is a population-management story. If your goal is to make this beautiful Earth that we live on an exclusive playground for the entitled few, then populations that get in the way are a problem. It is the empirical impulses of individuals who have decided that by outranking the rest of humanity, they can dictate upon humanity the conditions of their existence.

“This is a cognitive-dissonant moment that is being imprinted in your brain, just like ‘Remember the Great Depression’, ‘Remember 9/11’. We are being conditioned to have the excuse for unbelievable acts of tyranny, which will be justified by ‘Remember 2020.’

“And your loved ones; those that die, those that are infected; they’re being used as cannon fodder, which is the ultimate desecration of their honor and integrity.

“This is also a test of humanity, to see how much of our liberty we will let go, before we finally draw the line under ‘ENOUGH’.

Medical Journal: Get The COVID-19 Vaccine, Or Be Punished HARSHLY

For all intents and purposes, the COVID-19 vaccine should be “mandatory” says one medical journal, and noncompliance should be hardly punished. And if you refuse to take the new vaccine, you should face losing your job and be forbidden from leaving your own house until you comply.

The Behavioral Sink: A Fable For Our Times

Guest Post by Hardscrabble Farmer

Not long after the last of the last American soldiers returned home at the close of WWII, a little-known ethologist named John B. Calhoun set up a quarter acre pen somewhere on the outskirts of Rockville, Maryland and populated it with several dozen Norwegian rats. His experiment was meant to see just how large the population density would become if they were provided with adequate food, water, shelter and protection from predators so that all of their needs were met. Fellow researchers dubbed his experiment rat utopia and before long he had discovered the answer to his question.

When his research caught the eye of bureaucrats at the National Institute for Mental Health, they approached him with an offer of unlimited funding for another project along the same lines under stricter conditions than the bucolic environs of a pasture just north of Washington, D.C. By 1954 he had devised a complex interior setup for his rats to inhabit that divided the environment into four cells, each configured to provide a continuous supply of food, water and bedding with plenty of space for nests and open areas for social interaction. Into each of these he placed an equal number of both male and female rats and simply watched as they began to at first explore and then to colonize and dominate their surroundings.

There is very little material available about his research today, though at the time he was a media darling. During this period Americans had become concerned with the concept of overpopulation, due in large part to popular media and its constant focus on a “population bomb” that threatened to exhaust the Earth’s resources if something wasn’t done about it. As his research was just beginning to demonstrate the consequences of overpopulation the New York Times book review was pushing dystopian works such as Stand on Zanzibar and Paul Ehrlich’s The Population Bomb.

Years before Mao began his enforced One Child Policy, American cosmopolitans were aggressively selling the concept of ZPG, or zero population growth in the pages of Time. Back in the government lab that housed the ever-growing population of rats, certain unpleasant realities were beginning to manifest themselves in the behavior of the colony. Calhoun was able to observe a recurring pattern, broken into four distinct phases that repeated itself each time he re-stocked his utopian environment; Exploration, Exploitation, Stagnation, and Death.

In the first phase the rodent experiment the numbers were such that the social order was rapidly established, hierarchies arose within days and the dominant males created harems of available females and guarded them against the lower ranking competitors. Feeding areas were designed so that no individual could eat alone but rather had to share communal trays. The choice nests were established at ground level while the lowest ranking members of the colony had to climb towers to their nesting spot.

With plenty of space and endless supplies with a small population resulted in a living space that was, as far as brown rats go, copacetic. During the exploitation phase two discernible differences arose- a rapidly growing population and an increasingly hostile environment. The dominant males controlled access to the quadrants where their harems lived while the lower ranking members turned to an endless cycle of violence towards each other as well as the younger generation of rapidly maturing rivals.

As the population grew to the point where no rat was able to find privacy, the third phase began in earnest. At this stage Calhoun observes that the rats have entered what he calls a behavioral sink, a situation where aberrant and destructive behavior becomes the norm and normal behavior is no longer possible. For example, the females abandoned their young, attacked them, or oddly enough, became sterile. Certain numbers of both male and female became- according to Calhoun- somnambulists.

They slept the majority of their lives emerging only to gorge themselves at the feeders while the rest of the colony slept, slowly becoming enormous and dying far earlier than the other rats. The subordinate males clustered together between the quadrants and controlled the access to food for the younger rats, violently attacking them and each other. They also turned into pansexuals, neither interested in mating but rather engaging in homosexuality and self-gratification in their nests for extended periods of time, often damaging and disfiguring their genitalia and pulling out their fur.

The remainder became probers, a constant source of irritation to the dominant males who used every available means to keep them away to the point of exhaustion and eventual submission to groups of predatory male rats who would kill them and raid their harems, killing the offspring and even the females. At the peak of the population which reached over 2,200 the entire colony entered the terminal phase and once reproduction ceased it was simply a matter of time until the natural cycle of rodent mortality ended the experiment yet again. Over and over for years until NIMH pulled the plug and ended its funding of Calhoun’s Mortality-Inhibiting Environment for Mice. Utopia, at least for rodents, remained elusive.

In the years following the release of his publication entitled Population Density and Social Pathology plenty of people jumped on the bandwagon and tried to turn the results into a commentary on modern urban living and overpopulation. Tom Wolfe’s final chapter of The Pump House Gang was originally a short essay entitled “Oh Rotten Gotham! Sliding Down Into the Behavioral Sink” followed by a novel, later turned into the children’s movie The Secret of NIMH, by Robert O’Brien, a very dark and decidedly un-child friendly dystopian cartoon featuring scientists carrying out a rodent genocide. Calhoun continued on with his work, but never returned to the rats again, calling the outcome of his experiment ” a Malthusian dilemma born of a Utopian vision”.

The planners at the World Economic Forum have a lot of ideas about the future of the Earth’s population and if you’ve somehow missed the agenda they have outlined, maybe now would be a perfect opportunity to see what they are lining up for us. Concentrating people into urban clusters, providing us with all the food we could ever need, eliminating privacy, and on and on in the Great Reset.

One could reasonably conclude that all of those experiments done on the taxpayer’s dime so many years ago at the National Institute of Health would have made some kind of impression on the people who are paid to look at such outcomes. It could be safely assumed that they understand that by confining any living creatures in large numbers and in tight spaces, regardless of the necessities provided, would lead to certain consequences. Perhaps they have looked at the data and they do understand what occurs when a Utopian society is allowed to flourish and that is the endgame.

But then we’re not brown rats.

The Covid Deception Serves An Undeclared Agenda

ORIGINAL LINK

Guest Post by Paul Craig Roberts

There is no scientific basis for the measures in place to deal with the alleged Covid Pandemic. Among experts the support for these measures are largely limited to those with financial links with pharmaceutical corporations. Public health bureaucrats, such as Fauci at NIH, are also linked with pharmaceutical corporations. Medical practioners take their guidance from approved authority, which means NIH, CDC, WHO, all compromised with conflicts of interest. Conforming with these compromised institutions provides liability protection that relying on independent expert advice does not.

One thousand five hundred experts from around the world have come together to challenge the Covid measures as “a global scientific fraud of unprecedented proportions.” Here is their statement: https://www.globalresearch.ca/international-alert-message-about-covid-19-united-health-professionals/5737680

Is it safe to assume that compromised public health bureaucracies with links to pharmaceutical corporations know more and are more trustworthy than independent experts?

What is the real agenda behind the Covid Deception? Clearly it is not public health.

How was media orchestrated to deplatform and censor experts who challenge the obviously unsuccessful Covid measures? It should make you instantly suspicious when scientifically ignorant and totally compromised presstitutes dismiss dissenting independent experts as “conspiracy theorists.”

Why is no public discussion of the situation possible? If the Covid measures could stand examination, there would be no censorship.

Clearly, an undeclared agenda is being shoved down our throats.

In this article Dr. Pascal Sacre explains why the PCR test results in a huge exaggeration in the number of Covid infections and thus serves the assertion of a pandemic and the creation of fear that causes people to accept tyrannical measures: https://www.globalresearch.ca/covid-19-rt-pcr-how-to-mislead-all-humanity-using-a-test-to-lock-down-society/5728483

That independent scientific experts have been forced out of public discussion should tell you how utterly corrupt are the governments of the world.

Trump official: Evidence for Wuhan lab error 'far outweighs' other theories

Daily Caller News Foundation

Matt Pottinger, who served as deputy national security adviser under former President Donald Trump, said Sunday that the evidence that the coronavirus resulted from human error in a Chinese lab “far outweighs” other theories about the origins of the pandemic.

“If you weigh the circumstantial evidence, the ledger on the side of an explanation that says that this resulted from some kind of human error, it far outweighs the side of the scale that says this was some natural outbreak,” Pottinger said in an interview on CBS News’ “Face the Nation.”

“We have very strong reason to believe that the Chinese military was doing secret classified animal experiments in that same laboratory, going all the way back to at least 2017,” he continued.

“We have good reason to believe that there was an outbreak of flu-like illness among researchers working in the Wuhan Institute of Virology in the fall of 2019, but immediately before the first documented cases came to light.”

Pottinger’s interview followed after Jake Sullivan, the national security adviser to President Biden, cast doubt on a forthcoming report on the World Health Organization’s investigation in Wuhan into the origins of the virus.

Sullivan accused the Chinese government of withholding raw data from investigators. He called on WHO to “step up” in its investigation.

#COVID ORIGINS: Former Deputy NSA Matt Pottinger tells @margbrennan there’s “strong reason to believe” China’s military previously conducted secret “animal experiments” at the Wuhan Institute of Virology where in Fall 2019 there was an outbreak there of a “flu-like illness” pic.twitter.com/oFn2EoaZ2W

— Face The Nation (@FaceTheNation) February 21, 2021

Sullivan stopped short of accepting the lab leak theory, saying only that China’s withholding of information from outside investigators has made it difficult to figure out how the pandemic started.

Pottinger also criticized WHO.

“The WHO has a lot to answer for,” he said.

“The World Health Organization made all sorts of untruthful or misinformed claims about this virus.”

He pointed to WHO’s claim back in January 2020 that the coronavirus was not transmitted through human-to-human contact.

Pottinger asserted that WHO’s team of scientists were “deeply conflicted” and had been “hand-selected” by the Chinese government.
