1. "At C(ycle)t(hreshold) = 35, the value we used to report a positive result for PCR, <3% of cultures are positive."
Strong evidence that the ~97% of all PCR-positive tests for #COVID19 are False positives!

2. Note how PCR-positive tests for #COVID19 are mostly False positives b/c the virus cannot be detected via culture (gray bars).

"Data from three US states – New York, Nevada and Massachusetts – shows that when the amount of the virus found in a person is taken into account, up to 90 percent of people who have tested positive could actually have been negative." https://www.rt.com/op-ed/499816-positive-covid-virus-contagious/

4. @nytimes spills the beans: "(The) number of amplification cycles needed to find the virus, called the cycle threshold, is NEVER INCLUDED in the results sent to doctors & #coronavirus patients, although it could tell them how infectious patients are." https://archive.fo/6njS8
5. "Deaths of older people stayed the same before & after #COVID19. Since COVID19 mainly affects the elderly, experts expected an increase in the % of deaths in older age groups. However, this increase is not seen from the CDC data." https://web.archive.org/web/20201126163323/https://www.jhunewsletter.com/article/2020/11/a-closer-look-at-u-s-deaths-due-to-covid-19
6. "Not only has #COVID19 had no effect on the %age of deaths of older people, but it also hasn't increased the total # of deaths.
"These data suggest that in contrast to assumptions, the # of deaths by COVID19 is not alarming. It has relatively no effect on deaths in the USA."
"These data suggest that in contrast to assumptions, the # of deaths by COVID19 is not alarming. It has relatively no effect on deaths in the USA."
7. "The total decrease in deaths by other causes almost exactly equals the increase in deaths by #COVID19. This suggests...the COVID death toll is misleading. Deaths due to heart & respiratory diseases, influenza & pneumonia may instead be recategorized as being due to COVID-19."
8. "According to Briand, the exaggeration of the #COVID19 death number may be due to the constant emphasis on COVID-19-related deaths & the habitual overlooking of deaths by other natural causes in society."
You sure it's not b/c covid deaths get a 15% bigger reimbursement?

9. “the probability of…receiving a false positive is 97% or higher...(&) From (this) testing comes case numbers. From case numbers come the ‘R_0,’ the rate at which a carrier infects others. From the ‘dreaded’ R_0 comes the lockdowns & the restrictions." https://www.rt.com/op-ed/507937-covid-pcr-test-fail/
10. Where did the flu go?
Step 1. Have flu symptoms
Step 2. Test for #Covid19
Step 3. Run the PCR test for too many cycles, giving a false positive.
Step 4. Diagnose patient w/Influenza.
Step 5. Influenza cases drop.
Step 6. Transform the entire global economy.

11. 50% of the population might already have some sort of cross-reactive immunity to #SARSCoV2 from previous exposure to common cold human coronaviruses.
Are we already at herd immunity or pretty close? https://mobile.twitter.com/MichaelYeadon3/status/1330239450446704641
