CONTINUED THREAD !!
Did you know that all medical…
…tests in use in the NHS have a data sheet, telling the physician how to interpret the test results? Without this basic information, which can be obtained easily in a single day without interfering with normal operation, it’s scientifically invalid to use the test at all, let..
…alone to do what’s being done: to tell us that every sample which is reported as positive is actually a “case”. When the prevalence of the virus is low, which looks to be a statement we can make with robust confidence, even a modest-looking oFPR means that ALMOST ALL…
…POSITIVES ARE FALSE POSITIVES. I support the triple challenge made by others. Let’s have a sizeable set of samples be run through the secretive Lighthouse Labs PCR mass testing system, through LFT & through independent PCR Labs. An alternative is to permit independent…
…scientists into the Lighthouse Labs to supervise placing of known-negative (virus-free, but completely blinded swab samples) among a normal day’s testing run. Until this has been done, I demand that PCR mass testing by halted. There’s very strong evidence that it’s very…
….badly wrong & further, there’s never been proper audit of what they’re doing. We don’t even know why those facilities exist at all. No one anywhere had industrial scale testing right after the starting gun. But by May, the NHS pathology labs got to 50,000 tests per day.
By that time, the spring peak was well behind us. Imperial & it’s hopelessly unqualified team came up with their fantasy prediction of a huge 2nd wave, which is completely without precedent & not supported by any trove of scientific literature. But it seems that, based on the…
…assumption that there would be a 2nd wave & so the then-prevailing view was that there was a need for much greater daily testing capacity. So the expensive notion of huge ‘PCR factories’ were set up, despite the fact this has never been done anywhere in the world. They were…
…set up at breakneck speed but then staffed mostly by people who’ve never worked in labs before. Most of us were aghast at this, because PCR isn’t a technique for amateurs. According to those who’ve personally used this exquisitely sensitive technique, using staff so unused…
…to lab work that they need to be taught how to use a pipette was always a recipe for disaster, both in terms of infection risk to themselves & colleagues as well as major risks to the absolutely essential end-to-end sample integrity. Now we learn that at least 20 staff at…
…the Milton Keynes facility have become PCR positive themselves, something that seems likely to have been acquired at work. Previously, there was the unannounced inspections by the Health & Safety Executive, because there’d been reports of serious breaches & management simply..
…refused to return calls from HSE. Those inspections confirmed major failings in health & safety procedures including in training. Now look at the results: claims of tens of thousands of “cases” daily. Frankly, I have no confidence in their output & neither should you. Once…
…you bring yourself to remove the labels off people & just take a long, cool look at the reality in the country. There’s just not much going on. Hospitals are less full than usual. Fewer people are dying of respiratory disease than usual. We’re being badly misled. I can…
…understand those running these facilities are making lots of money. But the scientists in charge must address these challenges at speed. If they don’t, I recommend everyone them regard their attitude not as mere stubbornness but as a malign & deliberate policy to mislead.
