Bombshell study (meta review) from Oxford just published on PCR testing, Ct and virus viability.
This study completely invalidates the current c19 PCR test data
Recall that invalid test results also flow into hospitalization and fatality stats.
For key takeaways, read on

No viable virus at >7days from symptom onset.
Yet at this time Median Ct was still 26.5- MUCH lower than used in widespread testing.
And at 21 days, 2 weeks beyond transmissibility Ct was still 35! Still below that required to test positive most everywhere!

And at 21 days, 2 weeks beyond transmissibility Ct was still 35! Still below that required to test positive most everywhere!
The chances of detecting live virus decreased by 33% with each increment in Ct.
Notice the “No growth” (=not infectious) Ct values in their table
So what’s the key point here? If you are being tested with PCR (the great majority of C19 tests) and the lab uses a Ct (sensitivity) of greater than ~27 to 34 they are not detecting live virus. You are not infected= false positive! Check out a sample of Ct values used by labs
All of our data and policies - cases, hosps, and fatalities are built on this bogus foundation of overly sensitive tests detecting viral fragments, not illness. Refuse PCR testing at Ct > low 30s. Which is pretty much all of them. Nothing is as it seems or is being reported.
