U.S. Intelligence Classified and Redacted Findings on COVID-19 PCR Tests: New FOIA Documents

New records show top U.S. nuclear, national security laboratories scrutinized primers used to define the pandemic—but hid the results.

Jan 14, 2026

Newly released Department of Energy (DOE) records obtained by U.S. Right to Know through a Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) request show that U.S. federal intelligence agencies classified and redacted the results of an internal review of COVID-19 PCR test primers, even as those tests were used to define “cases,” drive emergency policy, and justify unprecedented social and economic controls.

The documents reveal that during the pandemic, the U.S. government quietly subjected PCR test primer sets—the molecular components that determine what PCR tests detect—to classified scrutiny by top national security laboratories, while withholding the findings from the public under national-security and intelligence exemptions.

At the center of the release is a classified internal communication titled “DRAFT memo on Primer Sets,” circulated through the DOE’s Office of Intelligence and Counterintelligence and reviewed by assay experts at Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory, Los Alamos National Laboratory, and Pacific Northwest National Laboratory.

The memo itself remains classified.

Its conclusions were redacted.

No public explanation was ever provided.

PCR Testing Was Treated as a Classified Intelligence Issue

PCR tests do not detect an intact virus and do not prove infection.

They work by using short genetic sequences—primers—to bind to matching genetic material and amplify it until a signal is detected.

What a PCR test detects depends entirely on what its primers bind to. (See link for article)

**Comment**

What this means is while the public was repeatedly told COVID testing was reliable, specific, and settled science, the test was never handled in a public scientific manner but as a classified intelligence issue.

This should tell you everything you need to know, but it’s actually far worse.

In 2020 we were warned about the CDC’s monopolized COVID testing – something those in Lymeland have had to live with for over 40 years.

Experts have now shown repeatedly that the genetic sequences used in PCRs to detect suspected SARS-CoV-2 as well as the flu, and to diagnose cases of illness and death attributed to Covid-19 are present in dozens of sequences of the human genome itself and in those of about a hundred microbes. And that includes the initiators or primers, the most extensive fragments taken at random from their supposed “genome” and even the so-called “target genes” allegedly specific to the “new coronavirus”.

The test is worthless and all “positive” results obtained so far should be scientifically invalidated and communicated to those affected; and if they are deceased, to their relatives. Stephen Bustin, one of the world’s leading experts on PCR, in fact says that under certain conditions anyone can test positive.

The Replacement for PCR Tests Has Arrived

Dr. Roger Hodkinson breaks down how MultiSeq could replace PCR and fix infectious disease testing with multi-target panels and confirmatory Sanger sequencing.
Nicolas Hulscher, MPH
Jan 13, 2026

The COVID era exposed a diagnostic failure that can no longer be ignored: PCR-based testing is not a true “gold standard” for clinical infection diagnosis. PCR is widely treated as definitive, but mechanistically it is not an identification method—it is an amplification step that simply makes more copies of genetic material. The real weakness comes from what many systems use after amplification: probe-based fluorescence detection, which generates a “signal” without actually confirming what is present. That is how medicine ends up with false positives, misclassification, and policy decisions built on unstable data.

In my interview with Dr. Roger Hodkinson—a highly respected pathologist and Chairman of MultiSeq—he explains why the PCR problem is structural: probe-based testing functions like a “lock-and-key,” where partial matches can still trigger a positive signal. Even worse, infectious syndromes (cough/cold, diarrhea, suspected STI) are rarely caused by only one organism—yet most PCR workflows are narrow, slow, and often treated as confirmatory when they’re not. In practice, clinicians are forced into an “educated guess” model because results frequently come back days later and only cover a limited scope.

MultiSeq is attempting to replace this entire model with something fundamentally different: sequence-confirmed diagnosis. Instead of relying on probe fluorescence to “suggest” identity, it uses modified Sanger sequencing to directly read the nucleotide sequence and confirm which pathogen is actually present.  (See link for article & video)

PCR Madness Continues

Reliance upon PCR testing is patently insane and/or evil

Faulty PCR testing has been and continues to be used to justify government response to ‘pandemics,’ despite the fact that it’s been shown again and again to be worthless.

  • Creator of the PCR, Kary Mullis, states the test played a central role in the HIV war that lasted 22 years but represented a “laboratory artifact, a set of lab-tortured antigens around which a ‘test’ was built.”  Please see this excellent commentary on Montagnier’s claims by Eleni Papadopulos-Eleopulos et al.

    Nothing was proven before it was asserted. This became the norm, paving the way for the situation we are in now.    Global viral communism. 

  • This study showed that 86% of PCR-positive COVID cases were not real infections.
  • This study showed that when PCR is run at 35 cycles or higher, the false positive rate is 97%.
  • This study found patients with PCR tests at a CT above 33-34 are not contagious and can be discharged from the hospital.
  • Cycle threshold (CT) is not reported on PCR tests, making all results meaningless.
  • PCR can’t distinguish virus from harmless, dead viral fragments.
  • PCR tests are detecting host DNA, whether from birds, cows, or humans.
  • FDA package inserts from some ‘vaccines’ confirm live viruses can be shed from bodily fluids for at least 28 days after ‘vaccination’ confirmed by PCR, raising the question of what the test is detecting – vaccine virus RNA or wild virus RNA.
  • According to the PCR inventor and reality, you can get PCR to show virtually anything you want
  • A Portuguese court ruled PCR to be unreliable and unlawful to quarantine people.

Yet, here we are…..

WHO Demands 90,000 Influenza and COVID PCR Tests Per Month Worldwide, Spanning 153 Labs in 131 Countries, Including U.S. CDC

Unelected foreign group dictates how sovereign nations must commit to “enhancing influenza pandemic response.”

Jon Fleetwood

The World Health Organization (WHO) has released its overview of “pandemic influenza preparedness and response activities,” in which it reasserts its expectation that labs all over the world provide the unelected foreign body with 90,000 influenza and coronavirus PCR tests per month.

The unprecedented scale of continuous PCR testing on tens of thousands of human respiratory specimens raises serious privacy concerns and questions why the WHO is expanding reliance on a testing method whose reliability has long been contested.

A 2020 Clinical Infectious Diseases publication confirms that cultures from 97% of PCR-positive specimens are unable to grow live virus in cell culture, meaning the vast majority of PCR ‘positives’ do not correspond to detectable, infectious virus.

Moreover, BLAST genetic analysis confirms that the CDC’s influenza PCR primers and probe share widespread partial sequence homology with the human genome, raising questions about how reliably the assay distinguishes influenza virus from background human genetic material in respiratory samples.

Will the WHO again declare a pandemic based on PCR results instead of confirmed infections?

The new FDA ‘vaccine’ chief, Dr. Vinay Prasad, said it best:

“Do Not test, do Not report cases, do Not wear face masks, do Not take the shots.”

After Decades of Dismissal, Chronic Lyme Disease is Now Recognized

After Decades of Dismissal, Chronic Lyme Disease Is Now Recognized

Patients with persistent Lyme symptoms face medical limbo as federal officials and researchers debate causes, treatment, and what to call the condition.
Cara Michelle Miller
Updated:

“Like a human hockey puck”—that’s how Nikki Schultek describes a year spent ricocheting between specialists in Connecticut, each focused on one piece of her deteriorating health—bladder pain, neurological symptoms, joint pain—while missing the whole picture.

“I really don’t fault the clinicians,” she told The Epoch Times. “The training hones them to be experts in a domain.”

After her odyssey of misdiagnoses, Schultek finally received a correct diagnosis of Lyme disease. However, her experience navigating a fragmented health care system brought her to Washington on Dec. 15, where Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. convened a rare federal roundtable addressing what he called long-standing failures in how the disease is diagnosed, studied, and treated.

“Lyme disease is an example of a chronic disease that has long been dismissed, with patients receiving inadequate care,” Kennedy said at the event. “I want to announce that the gaslighting of Lyme patients is over.”

The Medical Divide

Schultek’s story echoes those of many patients whose months—or years—of fatigue, pain, neurological symptoms, and cognitive problems, after undergoing a battery of tests, are eventually traced back to that one tick bite that infected them with Lyme disease.

Persistent symptoms from Lyme disease are both difficult to diagnose and treat, in part because health agencies, mainstream medicine, researchers, and patients disagree about what is causing the debilitating constellation of symptoms.

The roundtable brought together patients, clinicians, researchers, and advocates to discuss what many describe as long-standing failures in how Lyme disease is diagnosed, studied, and treated. At stake is not just terminology, but access to care.

Two things, right off the bat: 
 
  1. It’s going to take a whole lot more than an accurate test to fix this beast.
  2. A simple pronouncement from Kennedy is not going to stop the deeply entrenched gas-lighting of patients.
  3. I do blame doctors, public health, and institutions that ignore the Hippocratic Oath – a vow to ‘do no harm,’ and would rather turn patients away entirely or diagnose them with anything but Lyme/MSIDS, furthering their misery. 
The entire paradigm is set against patient health.  
The article falsely regurgitates that only 10% go on to suffer lingering symptoms, when microbiologist Holly Ahern puts it between 40-60% – a far cry from 10%. It also falsely states that 90% are successfully treated with a few weeks of antibiotics when research demonstrates again and again treatment failures in nearly every antibiotic study done.
 
The article doesn’t even sniff at coinfections. Reality paints a starkly different picture from what the article paints.  Most patients are sicker than dogs and infected with multiple pathogens which require entirely different drugs.  Nary a word on pleomorphism either (Bb’s ability to shapeshift and lie dormant to reemerge later).  
These issues are relevant as they make patients infinitely sicker and more complex.
Sorry – not feeling too excited about this.  Reading through the comments didn’t help either.  I saw plenty of the “if you are healthy you won’t get this,” and “take ivermectin,” or take Japanese knotweed.”  
 
If only it was that simple!

To comment, you are limited to 1500 words.  I left this comment:

Far more than 10% go onto suffer persisting symptoms because they don’t include those who are diagnosed and treated late – which is most of us: https://madisonarealymesupportgroup.com/2019/02/25/medical-stalemate-what-causes-continuing-symptoms-after-lyme-treatment/.

For a bird’s eye view of the entire sordid, complicated affair: https://madisonarealymesupportgroup.com/2020/09/25/why-should-we-care-about-lyme-disease-a-colorful-tale-of-government-conflicts-of-interest-probable-bioweaponization-and-pathogen-complexity/

How Lyme/MSIDS (multi systemic infectious disease syndrome – because Lyme is just the tip of the spear) has been handled is palpably insane. It’s going to take a whole lot more than an accurate test to fix this juggernaut. Doctors are afraid to diagnose let alone treat it: https://madisonarealymesupportgroup.com/2018/12/15/everything-about-lyme-disease-is-steeped-in-controversy-now-some-doctors-are-too-afraid-to-treat-patients/

My husband and I only achieved our health back after FIVE years of intensely nuanced and expensive treatment and then retreating for a few months after relapsing 3-4 times.
Not sure I’d even be writing this if it weren’t for this life-saving treatment.
It’s sexually and congenitally transmitted.

All my initial symptoms were gynecological. Remember, it’s a cousin to syphilis: https://madisonarealymesupportgroup.com/2024/12/18/letter-breaking-down-timeline-deception-of-lyme-disease-no-studies-have-ruled-out-sexual-transmission/

CDC Flu PCR Primers Match Human DNA Across the Genome

UPDATE:

BLAST analysis shows that the CDC’s measles RT-PCR forward primer, reverse primer, and fluorescent probe all have near-perfect contiguous matches to the human genome, which means the positive test is based on human genetic material rather than measles virus itself.

CDC Flu PCR Primers Match Human DNA Across the Genome: New BLAST Data

Are we detecting viruses or ourselves?

Jon Fleetwood
Dec 16, 2025

The CDC’s ‘Influenza SARS-CoV-2 (Flu SC2) Multiplex Assay’ is a real-time reverse-transcription polymerase chain reaction (rRT-PCR) laboratory test used to detect influenza A, influenza B, and SARS-CoV-2 in upper or lower respiratory samples.

Mainstream health authorities use PCR tests to quantify how many infection cases there are.

Case numbers are used to declare pandemics and justify pandemic response measures like lockdowns, masking, social distancing, and vaccination campaigns.

But what if these tests aren’t detecting viruses?

What if they’re detecting human DNA?

That would mean the primary justification for pandemic declarations is built on signals that may not represent viral infection at all, but amplified fragments of the human genome—calling into question the scientific basis for case counts, emergency powers, and every downstream policy decision tied to them.

Scrutiny of the PCR test is warranted, given the high likelihood of an incoming bird flu pandemic and the international coordination documented on this website.

A new BLAST analysis of the CDC’s Influenza SARS-CoV-2 (Flu SC2) Multiplex Assay reveals that every variant of the influenza A forward primer, reverse primer (across all ambiguity resolutions), and probe independently produces dozens to over 100 significant partial matches—often perfect over 15–18 bp core segments—scattered across nearly every human chromosome, establishing widespread human genomic homology.  (See link for article)

**Comment**

This is not the first person to notice this troubling issue.

The genetic sequences used in PCRs to detect suspected SARS-CoV-2 and to diagnose cases of illness and death attributed to Covid-19 are present in dozens of sequences of the human genome itself and in those of about a hundred microbes. And that includes the initiators or primers, the most extensive fragments taken at random from their supposed “genome” and even the so-called “target genes” allegedly specific to the “new coronavirus”. The test is worthless and all “positive” results obtained so far should be scientifically invalidated and communicated to those affected; and if they are deceased, to their relatives. Stephen Bustin, one of the world’s leading experts on PCR, in fact says that under certain conditions anyone can test positive!

In this report we are going to add the results of a particular research we have done from the data published on the alleged SARS-CoV-2 and on the protocols endorsed by the WHO for the use of RT-PCR as well as the data corresponding to the rest of the “human coronaviruses”. And the conclusions are extremely serious: none of the seven “human coronaviruses” have actually been isolated and all the sequences of the primers of their respective PCRs as well as those of a large number of fragments of their supposed genomes are found in different areas of the human genome and in genomes of bacteria and archaea, such as these: Shwanella marina JCM, Dialister succinatiphilus, Lactobacillus porcine, Lactobacillus manihotivorans, Leptospira sarikeiensis, Bizionia echini, Sanguibacteroides justesenil, Bacteroides massiliensis, Lacinutrix venerupis, Moraxella bovis, Leptospira saintgironsiae, Winogradskyella undariae, Acetobacterium puteale, Chryseobacterium hispanicum, Paenibacillius koleovorans, Tamiana fuccidanivorans, Fontibacillua panacisegetis, Ru bacter ruber , Skemania piniformis, Chryseobacterium shigense, Caloramator peoteoclasticus, Cellulosilyticum ruminicola, Nitrosopumilius evryensis and a long list of others.  Go here for research showing that those claiming to have isolated coronaviruses relied on ‘isolates’ of previous ‘human coronaviruses,’ as well a the sequences of covid are found in both humans and numerous microbes.
