Briefly Noted: Covid Testing, 'Trust' In Science, More

Yesterday there were reports out that the CDC is phasing out the PCR test for use in Covid testing. The PCR test is what fueled the casedemic and is known to be an inappropriate tool. Its inventor, recently deceased, publicly stated that it isn't a diagnostic tool and only increases false positives. You can read all about those problems here: Why Is The CDC Quietly Abandoning The PCR Test For COVID? Key paragraph:

So, in summary, with regard to our current "casedemic", positive tests as they are counted today do not indicate a “case” of anything. They indicate that viral RNA was found in a nasal swab. It may be enough to make you sick, but according to the New York Times and their experts, probably won’t. And certainly not sufficient replication of the virus to make anyone else sick. But you will be sent home for ten days anyway, even if you never have a sniffle. And this is the number the media breathlessly reports... and is used to fearmonger mask mandates and lockdowns nationwide...

So what gives? Well ... there's this:

CDC Declares PCR Tests Must Go Immediately After George Soros, Bill Gates Buy COVID-19 Test Manufacturer

The CDC's decision could potentially increase the value of the company acquired by Bill Gates and George Soros

Forbes explains that Global Access Health (GAH) is a joint initiative between “The Soros Economic Development Fund and the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation” and explains that Mologic Ltd is “best known today for the deep-nostril technology used to deliver rapid COVID-19 tests.” The partnership between Gates and Soros to buy this company was announced on Monday, July 19, and the CDC’s decision to phase out PCR tests was announced Saturday, July 24.

Over the weeked the WSJ ran an interview with science writer Matthew Ridley:

How Science Lost the Public’s Trust

From climate to Covid, politics and hubris have disconnected scientific institutions from the philosophy and method that ought to guide them.

The article, as usual, is behind a subscription wall, but Dr. Robert Malone helpfully provides the general idea. It's unexceptional, except that the growing distrust in science is increasingly spreading from a relative handfull of cognoscenti to the general public. Malone writes:

The scientific establishment has always had a tendency “to turn into a church, enforcing obedience to the latest dogma and expelling heretics and blasphemers.” This tendency was previously kept in check by the fragmented nature of the scientific enterprise.

In the age of social media, however, “the space for heterodoxy is evaporating.” So those who believe in science as philosophy are increasingly estranged from science as an institution. It’s sure to be a costly divorce.

"Increasing numbers of scientists “seem to fall prey to groupthink, and the process of peer-reviewing and publishing allows dogmatic gate-keeping to get in the way of new ideas and open-minded challenge.”

Saying "I believe in the science" is another way of saying "I believe in Groupthink"

Chris Roach writes on a related theme today--although I find the article to be uneven.

However, here are two related items that may set the stage for the Fall. We've seen several experts--such as Dr. Peter McCullough--warning that the problems with the "vaccines", and especially their apparent ineffectiveness against "variants" or mutations of the coronavirus, may lead to a rough Fall. The Establishment is aware of this, but they're trying to shift blame to the unvaxxed, whereas the reality is that this problem is arising because of the vax program. Thus Dr. Robert Malone cites the Israeli experience:

So, this pretty much nails it down. The durability of the Pfizer vaccine is not very long.https://t.co/BI1INcaJcU

This explains why we're hearing about "boosters," but it also suggests something that the Establishment isn't saying--given the very short term effectiveness, are we looking at "jabs forever"? And that prospect, in turn, raises additional concerns. For example, experts such as Sucharit Bhakdi have maintained that repeated injection of these gene therapy medications is likely to increase the risk of side effects, which, according to many such as McCullough, are already at "astronomical" levels. And in that regard Dr. Marty Makary of Johns Hopkins, a highly regarded academic medical researcher, has publicly accused of CDC of hiding data on injuries and deaths from gene therapy injections: Johns Hopkins Doctor Marty Makary Accuses CDC of 'Sitting on Data' to Suit Their Narrative. Makary is certainly not the first to say this, but he has a bigger megaphone than most.

All the above needs to be considered in the light of the increasingly aggressive campaign by the Zhou regime to preemptively shift blame. As reported at Breitbart, and in the context of very limited duration of the gene therapies and very limited effectiveness against variants:

The Washington Post reported Saturday that Baidan officials are “increasingly anxious” about the pandemic in America “spiraling out of control” and threatening his agenda, which is why they are pushing their “vaccinations for all” mantra.

 

The spread of the delta variant and the rise of new cases are together only expected to increase in the Fall as well as deaths per day.

As a result, the regime is considering caving to the fanatics clamoring for punitive measures against much of the public, despite considerable and increasing public opposition to those measures. Trouble ahead?
