Adapnation \u2013 Dec 2020<\/strong><\/h1>\n

How much more proof do we need as a country to say NO to these #casedemic inducing PCR community tests?<\/p>\n

This weeks report from Cambridge Uni\u2019s COVID-19 screening programme has been doing the rounds on social \u2013 but the report screenshot is hard to read, doesn\u2019t tell the full story, and is a little hard to follow.<\/p>\n

What\u2019s funny is that this report is causing yet more raging arguments as sceptics are saying \u201csee, 100% FP rate\u201d and fans of restrictions and testing say \u201cthe FP rate is 0.3%, dummy!\u201d.<\/p>\n

Who is right?<\/p>\n

Both are right, but only the sceptics are being honest regarding the ramifications that this screening programme is highlighting in plain sight\u2026<\/p>\n

MAKING SENSE OF IT:<\/strong><\/h3>\n

So, in an attempt to help make sense of it all, here\u2019s a more consumable summary of the screening programme that has been in operation for 2 months:<\/p>\n

The service has been ramped up to 10K students tested weekly. For efficiency sakes, households pool their swabs into a single test tube. Tests are performed in the uni\u2019s microbiology lab \u2013 vs the private low-quality lighthouse labs.<\/p>\n

Students from PCR Testing Pools that come back positive are asked to perform an individual PCR Confirmation test.<\/p>\n

Last week, 11 testing pools across Cambridge Uni-owned and private residence came back positive, representing 0.5% of total test pools.<\/p>\n

There were NO STUDENTS, zero, that had a positive confirmation test. That\u2019s approx 50 tests all with a negative result.<\/p>\n

What this means is that 100% of the positive results were FALSE.<\/p>\n

This is absolutely cause for concern, as we are not performing confirmatory public testing, meaning massive disruption as people need to isolate unnecessarily, and those individuals if hospitalised\/die of other causes will be marked down as covid.<\/em><\/p>\n

Now, this is not the False Positive Rate of the test. FPR is calculated by taking dividing the False Positives by the True Negatives. Cambridge Uni state this is currently 0.3%.<\/p>\n

But, you are being duped if you take comfort in the 0.3%. Why? Because when you test lots of people without symptoms and prevalence is low, the majority of results will indeed be false.<\/em><\/p>\n

Look at Cambridge\u2019s \u201cAsymptomatic\u201d Prevalence. At most it was 1.5% mid Nov and is currently 0%. Why is it so difference to the community prevalence? Well, that\u2019s what happens when you weed out the testing FP\u2019s with confirmatory testing.<\/p>\n

\u201cHang on a minute \u2013 maybe this was a fluke week!\u201d. Fair enough, let\u2019s look at prior weeks false results. It\u2019s been averaging at 60%, with the week before last being 91%!<\/p>\n

Moreover, the pattern we are seeing is broadly consistent with the observed seasonality of coronaviruses and other common respiratory viruses. We expect a drop off, followed by a second hump in Jan.<\/em><\/p>\n

\u2013<\/p>\n

aka \u2013 nothing to see here, if we leveraged actual honest science. Science that we\u2019ve known for a very long time \u2013 whether it be about seasonality, diagnosis, poor testing accuracy, masking, lockdowns etc.<\/p>\n

Alas (to steal one of Bojo\u2019s words), science is well and truly dead in 2020. It\u2019s left the building, and what\u2019s left is politicking and scaremongering propaganda masquerading as \u201cscience\u201d.<\/p>\n

KEY TAKEAWAY:<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Stop getting tested!<\/p>\n

Stop fuelling the #casedemic, the falsified hospitalisations, and the gross mis-certification of deaths.<\/p>\n
