COVID-19 News: Things are going to change to a certain degree with President Biden now in power. It is no surprise that even the American infection figures, death rates and vaccine efficacy might falsely start to appear as getting better after all Biden was heavily backed by the various pharmaceutical giants’ money during the recent elections.

It is sad that Americans had the only choice of choosing between two evils who are both as equally corrupted and the sudden change of the flow of campaign funds from the pharmaceutical conglomerates are all part of strategies for these pharmaceutical companies to gain more profits over time.
The COVID-19 pandemic is showing us how filthy the Western world is, especially countries like the United States and the United Kingdom where a few powerful and rich individuals and entities are making all the decisions at the expense of the common people. The politicians, the billionaires, the pharmaceutical companies, the American tech giants are dictating the terms and its time that the common people start doing whatever they get to regain control of the narratives in their daily lives and for their own wellbeing and that of their families.
Before we go into details, we have to make one thing clear….the SARS CoV-2 coronavirus is real and so is the COVID-19 disease and the long term health issues that will arise from having being infected with the virus or what is known these days as long COVID is also real. Hence any fans of conspiracy theories can stop reading and move on to some other platforms promoting imaginary scenarios.
The WHO or World Health Organization is raising eyebrows with an announcement on COVID-19 tests potentially leading to many “false positives. ”
This incompetent agency from day one has issued lots of fake and misinformation online ie the virus is not spreadable between humans, the virus is not airborne, mask were not necessary etc. This was the agency whose head, a black Ethiopian national was singing praises for China in the beginning of the pandemic while calls were made online for his resignation for failure to stop the epidemic from spreading globally. In case people have short-term memories, this same individual was against border closures, shut downs and stopping of travel etc. Not a single country has taken any legal action against the WHO or its director general to date while they are still holding press conferences and garbage media are still covering them!
The WHO issued a memorandum that errors processing PCR (polymerase chain reaction) tests could lead to people wrongly being dubbed infected.
It is
now providing guidance that the PCR tests be more carefully interpreted:
The World Health Organization only after a year into the pandemic, suddenly issued a guidance on diagnostic testing for SARS-CoV-2 that states that careful interpretation of weak positive results is needed.

(NOTE: WHO SUDDENLY REMOVED THIS PUBLICATION ON SATURDAY NIGHT-A copy is available below)
The new guidelines say, ”
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.”
The new guidelines furthermore warns about a PCR test potentially getting a “false positive”: WHO reminds IVD users that disease prevalence alters the predictive value of test results; as disease prevalence decreases, the risk of false positive increases. 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.
The reports about PCR test “cycle thresholds” being too high are nothing new. If the cycle thresholds are too high, it suggests the viral load of the patient is too low to truly qualify as a “case.” As reported in September: An Oxford academic warned in September that the tests could be picking up dead or deactivated viral proteins.

Dr Carl Heneghan, a professor and director of the Centre for Evidence-Based Medicine, said eight days after contracting Covid-19, the chances the infected person will pass the virus on “goes down to zero” if they have no symptoms.
He warned however that fragments of the virus can still remain in the body for many weeks afterwards with some studies showing intermittent shedding up to 70 days later leading to a positive test and skewing the real picture of how many people are at risk of passing on the virus.
Dr Heneghan, one of the study’s authors, said instead of giving a “yes/no” result based on whether any virus is detected, tests should have a cut-off point so that very small amounts of virus do not trigger a positive result.
Dr Heneghan also believes the detection of traces of old virus could partly explain why the number of cases is rising while hospital admissions remain stable.
Other media reports also reported on the presence of “false positive” tests. Dr. Anthony Fauci warned about the possibility of tests picking up “dead” virus strands in an interview from July.

No actions were ever taken then until only now.
Interestingly the latest data from the COVID-19 tracking project, which coincides with the week the WHO guidance was released on January 13th, already shows the weekly cases down over 20% from last week, despite the tests going up 1%.
What is anticipated the next few months is that infection rates will simply seem to go down miraculously while this will be attributed to the ‘effectiveness’ of the vaccines and also to Biden while death figures will still rise (it will be difficult for them to manipulate the figures of those dying although it has been done and also many excessive deaths related to COVID-19 are not being disclosed).
The new variants will affect the older and those with existing diseases badly while the rest will merely suffer asymptomatic conditions and only later suffer the long term effects of the virus and may be even die only then. (But will never be classified as COVId-19 related deaths) Many are saying that the vaccines were introduced quickly to pacify the masses and prevent social unrest as the diseases spreads exponentially and this new strategy of making infection rates fall is also to pacify the masses until the third wave strikes sometime in July or August 2021 or later. During this stage, we will see an increase of reinfections and more severe conditions of the disease and worst symptoms coupled with higher death rates due to a variety of factors at play ie newer variants that can escape immune responses and antibodies, ADE or antibody dependent enhancement being manifested more frequently etc.
But off course in the meanwhile, politicians and pharmaceutical companies involved in vaccines and drugs will continue to benefit massive profits and even the social media platforms, American tech giants media and unethical researchers will make lots of monies after getting paid by these same politicians and pharmaceutical companies to further their cause.
The rest of the world should simply avoid any recommendations, guidelines, drugs and vaccines from the Western countries like the United States and the United Kingdom. For critics simply look at the COVID-19 death figures today, America-417,440 dead and UK-97,520 dead. These figures are expected to rise exponentially.
There is also an urgent need for proper and reliable COVID-19 diagnostics whose results cannot be manipulated by people with vested interest often.
