Coronavirus (COVID-19) Antibody Tests: Do You Really Want One?  Think Hard About It.  Maybe Not.

Jeanne Pinder
Coronavirus testing: It has long been hard to get. Now suddenly in the New York area, tests are freely available.The test will tell me truly if I have had coronavirus and am therefore immune, right? Or if I was exposed to the virus and magically skipped through, with few symptoms?

The expert opinions are in: Maybe. Maybe not.

We’ve been doing a lot of research about coronavirus (Covid-19), and particularly about testing. I live in the center of the pandemic. Also, I recently tested positive for coronavirus antibodies twice, and negative once, and I’ve been exploring what it means.

First: There are two kinds of tests. Both the respiratory test (nasal swab) and the antibody test have problems as far as accuracy. Beyond that, if the results are correct, experts disagree on what the results mean. If you have a positive respiratory test, that’s pretty clear: You’ve got it. But if you test negative, because of the high error rate, if you have with symptoms, most doctors will say you should still act like you have it. With the antibody test, same problem: Positive probably means positive, but false positives are clearly possible. (See Link for Article)

“I would NOT trust that antibody test. There are about 50 tests, none are validated yet and we know that some give false positives if you have antibodies to the common cold coronaviruses.”  Donald G. McNeil Jr.

I’ve written a lot about the inaccuracy of COVID-19 testing, which is similar to Lyme/MSIDS testing – it’s not to be trusted.  At all.  https://madisonarealymesupportgroup.com/2020/05/13/president-of-tanzania-punks-who-sending-samples-of-fruit-goats-sheep-even-motor-oil-for-covid-testing-nearly-half-come-back-positive/  (See comment section as well)

https://madisonarealymesupportgroup.com/2020/03/21/study-shows-covid-19-testing-as-bad-as-lyme-msids-testing/ This Chinese study showed: “nearly half or even more of the ‘asymptomatic infected individuals’ reported in the active nucleic acid test screening might be false positives.” This article was withdrawn due to it being based upon theoretical deduction, not field epidemiology data, which is funny considering they’ve based this entire lock-down on theoretical modeling from one man:  https://madisonarealymesupportgroup.com/2020/03/28/epidemiologist-behind-highly-cited-coronavirus-model-drastically-downgrades-projection/

Thankfully the “immunity passport” idea allowing you to go back to work or resume normal life, based upon COVID-19 testing, has been dropped like a bad habit.  This idea sucked from the get-go and infringes upon our civil rights – regardless of testing accuracy.

The article admits that the FDA’s approval process for testing is deeply flawed.  Amen to that.  “Scientific” data on test performance is SELF-reported to the FDA.  See the problem?

The article asks the very astute question: why do people want tests if the results are not actionable?  

This is a problem I face daily with those suspecting tick-borne illness. One of my toughest jobs is convincing them the testing is worthless and that they need to go outside their insurance network to doctors who understand the flaws in current testing and treatment followed by conventional medicine. Many don’t take my advice but they nearly all come back for help after being passed like a football from doctor to doctor offering ZERO help.

It’s a tough paradigm to accept, but accept it we must. Lyme patients have to go outside of conventional medicine for true help.

The author states:

There are a lot of people trying to make money on coronavirus testing, so you should be cautious. For example, LetsGetChecked.com is promising an at-home test. They don’t have one now. They just raised a ton of money, $71 million to be exact. Would you choose them to test you? Why?

Well put.

I’ve noticed a frightening trend in the past few months. I’ve seen what I thought were respectable people turn into prostitutes selling their products and promoting things without any respectable science backing them up.

Why let a perfect “pandemic” go to waste?  There’s money to be made!
Just remember the inevitable principle: “You reap what you sow.”

Letter To Wisconsin Representatives on Moving Forward From ‘Shelter At Home’ Order

May 15, 2020

Dear Wisconsin Representatives,

First of all, thank you to those who fought for freedom and rescinded Governor Ever’s “Safer at Home Order.” This is not about politics. This is about Civil Liberties and everyone on both sides of the isle should be in agreement that forcing healthy people to quarantine is not normal or healthy. Quarantining the sick makes scientific sense and has historical precedent.

In my last letter I explained how COVID-19 has yet to be isolated and proven solely to cause illness – making all testing inaccurate. This was hilariously proven by the President of Tanzania (PhD Chemistry) who labeled samples from goats, fruit, and motor oil with human names and sent them to the WHO for COVID-19 testing. Half came back positive!

In this astutely written historical piece, the creator of the PCR test states it was never intended to diagnose patients. Another bio-chemist and protease developer states: “I’m skeptical that a PCR test is ever true.” When asked his advice for people wanting to be tested for COVID-19, he answered, “Don’t Do it, No Healthy person should be tested. It means nothing but it can destroy your life, make you absolutely miserable.”

Testing for COVID-19 has false positives, false negatives, and even people going from one to the other within days.  It’s a complete joke – similar to Lyme/MSIDS testing.

If Governor Evers is relying upon testing to make any decisions – he’s woefully uninformed.
Recently a few things have come to light that show what this is really about.
  • House Resolution 6666 a TRACE funded program, due to the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996, gives government officials and approved entities including foreign governments the right to obtain private health information without the knowledge or consent of the individual. Our inalienable rights are not protected and there’s no specified end date. 
  • Project Jumpstart, Rapid USA, and Operation Warp Speed further this huge government overreach by “bagging and tagging” all Americans and then monitoring them.
  • The Rockefeller Foundation’s April 2020 white paper lays out the plan to test, track, and trace all Americans, and is clearly intended to be permanent surveillance and social control.  Investigative journalist Harry Vox warns us in 2014, and backs up his claims by reading from The Rockeller Foundation’s “Scenarios for the Future of Technology and International Development” report.
  • And now we learn that the FBI can look at our web browsing history without a warrant allowing law enforcement to easily crack down on activists, labor organizers, or anyone else the government deems a threat.
Authorities want to test everyone (even though it’s been proven to be faulty). 
Authorities want to vaccinate everyone (even though researchers and the FDA are worried about safety)

Researchers warn that previous upper respiratory vaccines caused severe side-effects and even death. They caused “paradoxical immune enhancement issues” and the FDA warns there’s potential risks due to oncogenicity and infectivity, chronic inflammation, problems with DNA mutation and replication, autoimmune responses and cancer-causing genes. Many of these vaccines are made with PER C6 Ad5 technology which utilizes aborted fetal cell lines.

On top of all the safety concerns, Dr. Fauci states they may not work at all and in fact may make people sicker.

Authorities want to monitor everyone (even though this is completely unconstitutional).

‘Contact tracers’ besides making a hefty paycheck, are given unrestrained power to punish “violators” with civil and criminal penalties based upon a useless test.

The Bill of Rights Cannot be Suspended during a “Public Health Crisis.”

In The United States Statement of Interest in Support of Plaintiffs, filed by the Department of Justice (DOJ) in a case last month in which church goers attending a drive-in sermon were issued citations for violating an executive order in Mississippi, the DOJ stated:

“There is no pandemic exception, however, to the fundamental liberties the Constitution safeguards. Indeed, “individual rights secured by the Constitution do not disappear during a public health crisis.” In re Abbott, — F.3d —, 2020 WL 1685929, at *6 (5th Cir. Apr. 7, 2020). These individual rights, including the protections in the Bill of Rights made applicable to the states through the Fourteenth Amendment, are always in force and restrain government action.”

Social Distancing and mask wearing is Pseudoscience.
  • It was recently reported in NY that 66% of new hospitalizationshave been among those sheltering at home, and social distancing increases deaths. According to Dr. Kettner, former Medical Director of the International Centre for Infectious Diseases, the CDC imposed social distancing came from a couple of weak reviews.
  • Face Masks are immunosuppressive, ineffective against viruses and cloth masks are breeding grounds for them.  In the case of COVID-19 they are actually harmful due to hypoxia. Masks cause you to rebreathe exhaled air, lowering oxygen levels.

Looking forward, the National Health Freedom Association recommends adopting language ensuring freedom for all.  Protections must be put in place now to safeguard that this never happens again.

Lastly, these “authorities” Governor Evers is utilizing to make decisions are riddled with conflicts of interest, fraud, and collusion.

‘We Could Open Up Again And Forget The Whole Thing’

‘We could open up again and forget the whole thing’

Epidemiologist Knut Wittkowski on the deadly consequences of lockdown.
15th May 2020
By Fraser Myers

Governments around the world say they are following ‘The Science’ with their draconian measures to stem the spread of the virus. But the science around Covid-19 is bitterly contested. Many experts have serious doubts about the effectiveness of the measures, and argue that our outside fears of Covid-19 are not justified. Knut Wittkowski is one such expert who has long argued for a change of course. For 20 years, Wittkowski was the head of Biostatistics, Epidemiology, and Research Design at The Rockefeller University’s Center for Clinical and Translational Science. spiked spoke to him to find out more about the pandemic. (See link for article)

___________________

**Comment**

It’s now May 16 and Wittkowski hasn’t changed his tune. He still states the following:

  • COVID-19 isn’t severe unless you have age-related severe comorbidities.
  • He states the “epidemic” is over in China, South Korean and substantially down in most of Europe – and even UK numbers are substantially declining.
  • He reminds us there was ONE reason given for the initial lockdown: to prevent hospital overload, but most hospitals never experienced overload – only NY experienced a slight increase.
  • He still feels the lock-down in fact made things worse because it prolonged the “epidemic” putting the elderly in nursing homes at risk because you can’t lock them down forever.
  • He states the other dangers of locking down: suicides, domestic violence and other social consequences leading to death. Fear keeps people away from needed care at hospitals also leading to death.
  • Deaths in Germany won’t even show up as a blip in the hospital stats.
  • Studies show we have at least 25% who are immune. We are quickly getting to the needed 50% for herd immunity.
  • He states the feared “second spike or wave” is an invention to “justify a policy that politicians are afraid of reversing.”
  • He states we should NOT be practicing social distancing.
  • He states people should be asking the government to justify what it’s doing. 
  • He states the reason we got this all wrong was that governments do not have open discussion to hear different voices and they decided to listen to the singular voice of Neil Ferguson, who has a history of odd predictions without justification.
  • He states as was seen in Wuhan and South Korea, if you do nothing, the “epidemic” is over in 3 weeks. The virus, as viruses do, just simply runs its course.
  • To those who state they are “following the science.” he states they are following “scientists on their side that depend on government funding.”
  • Scientists depending on government funding has developed over the past 40 years.
  • The German scientists speaking out against COVID-19 mismanagement are all retired and independent.
  • He states Sweden did the right thing. Politicians admitted they should have isolated nursing homes to protect the elderly.
  • 20,000 deaths could have been prevented in NY because the government told nursing homes if they did not take hospital patients they would lose their funding. This imported the virus right into the nursing homes.
  • He says there was no reason to shut down schools,and ruin the economy.
  • He states all of this data was available toward the end of March to those who wanted to hear it.
  • He states that data presented by CDC director Robert Redfield should have had people jumping to their feet. There were 3 spikes in the 2019-2020 flu season: late December (influenza B), late January (influenza A), and then early March (COVID-19). For this last peak to happen patients had to go through a 7 day incubation period and then have symptoms. Then in early April (4 weeks later) infections were already down. At his point the government should have stated it had been overly cautious, but they didn’t want to admit their error and now there are 30 million unemployed in the US and companies going bankrupt.

“I frankly still cannot fully understand how our governments can be so stupid.” Knut Wittkowski

I sure can.

The world is going to be in a very bad place when these retired epidemiologists are no longer here giving the voice of reason.  The way scientists are dependent upon government funding must change because they are little more than governmental puppets spouting a narrative. They are not doing unbiased work – they are rigging their studies for pre-determined outcomes and nobody knows this better than Lyme/MSIDS patients:  https://madisonarealymesupportgroup.com/2019/02/22/why-mainstream-lyme-msids-research-remains-in-the-dark-ages/ and https://madisonarealymesupportgroup.com/2020/04/26/cdc-playbook-learning-from-lyme/

Social Distancing Is Snake Oil Not Science

**UPDATE Jan. 2023**

The results are in.  Sweden wins hands down.  Sweden serves as the control group in his horrific, tyrannical experiment.  It took a very different approach to the ‘pandemic’ by not shutting down and not imposing unscientific measures on its populace.

‘Social Distancing’ is Snake Oil, Not Science

By William Sullivan

Governor Andrew Cuomo of New York says that it’s “shocking” to discover that 66 percent of new hospitalizations appear to have been among people “largely sheltering at home.” 

“We thought maybe they were taking public transportation,” he said, “but actually no, because these people were literally at home.”

“Much of this comes down to what you do to protect yourself,” he continues.  “Everything closed down, government has done everything it could, society has done everything it could.”

It’s your fault, he says to the hospitalized New Yorkers who loyally complied with his government directive.  But here’s an interesting alternative theory as to why, mostly, old people who are staying at home are being hospitalized.  What if the government directive to close everything down and mandate “social distancing” actually made the problem worse?  (See link for article)

Results of this abysmal experiment are in: Florida, with no lockdown or mask mandate, has nearly the same hospitalization level as the 2018 flu season:  https://www.theblaze.com/op-ed/horowitz-with-no-lockdown-or-mask-mandate-florida-has-roughly-same-hospitalization-level-as-2018-flu-season

“It turns out,” Julie Kelly writes at American Greatness, “as I wrote last month, “social distancing” is untested pseudoscience particularly as it relates to halting the transmission of the SARS-CoV-2 virus. On its website, the CDC provides no links to any peer-reviewed social distancing studies that bolster its official guidance.”

Yet that same CDC ignores peer-review science that Lyme disease can cause chronic symptoms in patients due to persistent infection: Peer-Reviewed Evidence of Persistence of Lyme:MSIDS copy

The CDC habitually picks and chooses what narrative they want to enforce.

US States Rush-Recruiting COVID-19 Contact Tracers Are Overcompensating For Their Incompetence With Authoritarianism

US states rush-recruiting Covid-19 contact tracers are overcompensating for their incompetence with authoritarianism

US states rush-recruiting Covid-19 contact tracers are overcompensating for their incompetence with authoritarianism

Lady Liberty: not a fan of lockdowns © AFP / Karen Ducey
State governments that failed to contain coronavirus outbreaks by belatedly locking down entire societies now claim hiring thousands of contact-tracers to surveil sick and healthy alike will keep us safe. Why should we trust them?
Washington and New York are hiring thousands of contact-tracers to track down and notify individuals potentially exposed to Covid-19 in preparation for lifting the lockdown restrictions that have kept Americans largely at home for the last two months while the virus tore through the US anyway. Tracers – mostly civilians, though local governments have stressed that some will have a “public health background” – will be empowered to order the confinement of individuals at home, even if they’re asymptomatic and insist they’ve never been exposed, all in the name of keeping the virus under control. As for enforcement, they’ve been deliberately cagey, insisting it’s unlikely to come to that. (See link for article)
