Millions of people Worldwide have already been tested, starting in early February 2020. Nonetheless, is necessary that we conclude that unless retested, those estimates (according to the WHO) are invalid.<\/p>\n<p>We should mention that there are several other related flaws regarding the PCR test which are not addressed in this article. (See Michel Chossudovsky\u2019s E-book: \u201c<em>The 2020 Worldwide Corona Crisis: Destroying Civil Society, Engineered Economic Depression, Global Coup d\u2019\u00c9tat and the \u201cGreat Reset\u201d<\/em>\u201d (Chapter III)).<\/p>\n<p>From the outset, the PCR test has routinely been applied at a Ct amplification threshold of 35 or higher, following the January 2020 recommendations of the WHO. What this means is that the PCR methodology as applied worldwide has in the course of the last 16-18 months led to the compilation of faulty and misleading covid statistics. And these are the statistics which are used to measure the progression of the so-called \u201c<em>pandemic<\/em>\u201d. Above an amplification cycle of 35 or higher, the test will not detect fragments of the virus. Therefore, the official \u201c<em>covid numbers<\/em>\u201d are meaningless. It follows that there is no scientific basis for confirming the existence of a pandemic.<\/p>\n<p>Which in turn means that the lockdown \/ economic measures which have resulted in social panic, mass poverty and unemployment (allegedly to curtail the spread of the virus) have no justification whatsoever.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-64676 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/yogaesoteric.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/2c.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"560\" height=\"374\" srcset=\"https:\/\/yogaesoteric.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/2c.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/yogaesoteric.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/2c-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/yogaesoteric.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/2c-768x512.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 560px) 100vw, 560px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>According to scientific opinion: \u201c<em>if someone is tested by PCR as positive when a threshold of 35 cycles or higher is used (as is the case in most laboratories in Europe &amp; the US), the probability that said person is actually infected is less than 3%, the probability that said result is a false positive is 97%<\/em>\u201d (Pieter Borger, Bobby Rajesh Malhotra, Michael Yeadon, Clare Craig, Kevin McKernan, et al, \u201c<em>Critique of Drosten Study<\/em>\u201d).<\/p>\n<p>As outlined above, \u201c<em>the probability that said result is a false positive is 97%<\/em>\u201d: It follows that using the &gt;35 cycles detection will indelibly contribute to \u201c<em>hiking up<\/em>\u201d the number of \u201c<em>fake positives<\/em>\u201d.<\/p>\n<p>Despite the WHO retraction, the PCR test was being used extensively to hike up the numbers with a view to sustaining the fear campaign, justifying the ongoing lockdown policies as well as the implementation of the covid vaccine.<\/p>\n<p>Ironically, the flawed numbers based on \u201c<em>invalid positives<\/em>\u201d are in turn being manipulated to ensure an upward trend in covid positives.
