| Bad Cattitude on the CDC's Coding Error |
| 2022-03-19 |
| Subtitled "this data is still badly wrong, but i have some real concerns about who we are allowing to "fix" it and how unsupervised they will be as they do so." [BORIQUAGATO] of all the insanity around covid that took what would literally have been a baddish flu year would have passed with little comment or historical import and turned it into a mass hallucination of apocalypse, defining "covid death" as a death not "from covid as a proximate cause" but rather as "death from any cause if you had had a positive PCR test for covid in the previous 28-30 days" carries a special pride of place. many of us stood up and screamed about this right from the beginning. it made zero sense. nothing else is counted this way (for a reason) and the confluence of doing so with the staggeringly unprecedented mass testing of healthy people with overclocked PCR tests run at a 40 or higher Ct that was so over-amplified that it lacked any clinical relevance whatsoever and was probably kicking out 70-90% rates of non-clinical positivity was madness. once this disastrous definition was put in place, apocalypse was assured. Combine the high false positive rate with remdesivir, which causes kidney failure in 25% of patients, and then you get to the problem I want to see more details on. the same people who overstated this situation so aggressively are going to be the ones "fixing" the data to make sure it’s correct. the same people who pushed and mandated draconian responses that have failed so spectacularly are going to be the ones "adjusting" the data that allows us to assess those outcomes. we’re already caught them lying who knows how many times. it is not a conspiracy theory to expect them to lie again. it is a conspiracy theory to claim they’ll be honest this time. "We found 5 possible deaths." "Hokay...round it off at 50,000" |

#4 overclocked PCR tests run at a 40 or higher CtI have read quite a few laboratory-issued COVID PCR test reports over the past 2 years. None has mentioned the "Ct". Forget about asking the lab for that value... |

| #2 Rather odd that the "coding errors" always go in the same direction |

| #1 As I stated in a related posting... "All of this and the many other lies will be remembered when the next Pandemic hits. Thus any real data and actual working solutions will be suspect on even a greater level causing even greater deaths." |
