Milford Molecular Diagnostics in Conn. Offers 100 Percent Accurate DNA Sequencing for Coronavirus Tests to Correct Growing Numbers of False Results From Questionable SARS-CoV-2 Test
MILFORD, Conn.–(BUSINESS WIRE)–Sin Hang Lee, MD, an internationally recognized Connecticut pathologist, in a letter yesterday to World Health Organization and White House Coronavirus Task Force representatives, offered to re-test borderline or questionable positive coronavirus samples that are growing in numbers, as testing nationwide increases. (see Letter here: 03/22/20 – SARS-CoV-2 nested RT-qPCR sequencing typing).
Conn.’s Milford Molecular Diagnostics contacts WHO and Dr. Fauci advising of 100% accurate COVID-19 test, offers test and to re-test increasing inaccurate results.
“As coronavirus testing expands, reports of inaccurate test results are increasing exponentially,” said Milford Molecular Diagnostics Laboratory’s (http://www.dnalymetest.com/) director, Dr. Lee.
The letter was sent to the WHO’s response team’s Dr. Margaret Harris and Dr. Eduardo Guerrero, and to the Trump administration’s Coronavirus Task Force’s Dr. Anthony Fauci, director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases.
“To improve the accuracy of the SARS-CoV-2 RT-qPCR tests, we have offered to re-test borderline or questionable positive samples with a Ct value between 37 and 40 for other laboratories by performing nested RT-PCR/Sanger sequencing of a unique 398-base segment of the SARS-CoV-2 nucleocapsid (N) gene.
“Our laboratory’s sequencing is one-hundred percent accurate, as demonstrated in the letter. It can also distinguish the Wuhan seafood market pneumonia strain, the two California strains, the Texas strain and the Massachusetts strain of the virus, if tracing of these mutants among patients and carriers is desired,” said Dr. Lee.
Interested laboratories with residual RNA extracts stored at -80°C are requested to send an email inquiry to Dr. Lee at shlee01@snet.net or speak with Kevin Moore at 203-788-8497 to make arrangements. The test material sample should be 10 microliter of residual RNA extract and shipped in dry ice, said Dr. Lee.
A 15-minute coronavirus test is now available, and can ease the strain caused by the COVID-19 pandemic on healthcare systems across Europe, this comes as world leaders look for solutions to combat the disease.
Using easy to collect samples, the tests detect the IgM and IgG antibodies response to the coronavirus, to identify if patients have contracted COVID-19 within minutes of testing.

Abstract
Purpose
Receiving influenza vaccination may increase the risk of other respiratory viruses, a phenomenon known as virus interference. Test-negative study designs are often utilized to calculate influenza vaccine effectiveness. The virus interference phenomenon goes against the basic assumption of the test-negative vaccine effectiveness study that vaccination does not change the risk of infection with other respiratory illness, thus potentially biasing vaccine effectiveness results in the positive direction. This study aimed to investigate virus interference by comparing respiratory virus status among Department of Defense personnel based on their influenza vaccination status. Furthermore, individual respiratory viruses and their association with influenza vaccination were examined.
Results
We compared vaccination status of 2880 people with non-influenza respiratory viruses to 3240 people with pan-negative results. Comparing vaccinated to non-vaccinated patients, the adjusted odds ratio for non-flu viruses was 0.97 (95% confidence interval (CI): 0.86, 1.09; p = 0.60). Additionally, the vaccination status of 3349 cases of influenza were compared to three different control groups: all controls (N = 6120), non-influenza positive controls (N = 2880), and pan-negative controls (N = 3240). The adjusted ORs for the comparisons among the three control groups did not vary much (range: 0.46–0.51).
Conclusions
Receipt of influenza vaccination was not associated with virus interference among our population. Examining virus interference by specific respiratory viruses showed mixed results. Vaccine derived virus interference was significantly associated with coronavirus and human metapneumovirus; however, significant protection with vaccination was associated not only with most influenza viruses, but also parainfluenza, RSV, and non-influenza virus coinfections.

**Please note that seniors (the population pushed to get the flu shot) have the most recorded COVID-19 deaths**
Due to this fact, we can look at the ineffectiveness of the flu vaccine (9% according to last year’s stats) due to the many strains as a very real potential similar outcome regarding a COVID-19 vaccine.
Dr Ron Paul suggests the coronavirus as a government-promoted hoax. His warning warrants wide consideration, not only because of Paul’s political insight, but also because he is qualified to speak on this as a medical doctor. He writes as follows:
Governments love crises because when the people are fearful they are more willing to give up freedoms for promises that the government will take care of them. After 9/11, for example, Americans accepted the near-total destruction of their civil liberties in the PATRIOT Act’s hollow promises of security.
It is ironic to see the same Democrats who tried to impeach President Trump last month for abuse of power demanding that the Administration grab more power and authority in the name of fighting a virus that thus far has killed less than 100 Americans.
Declaring a pandemic emergency on Friday, President Trump now claims the power to quarantine individuals suspected of being infected by the virus and, as Politico writes, “stop and seize any plane, train or automobile to stymie the spread of contagious disease.” He can even call out the military to cordon off a US city or state.
State and local authoritarians love panic as well. The mayor of Champaign, Illinois, signed an executive order declaring the power to ban the sale of guns and alcohol and cut off gas, water, or electricity to any citizen. The governor of Ohio just essentially closed his entire state.
The chief fearmonger of the Trump Administration is without a doubt Anthony Fauci, head of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases at the National Institutes of Health. Fauci is all over the media, serving up outright falsehoods to stir up even more panic.He testified to Congress that the death rate for the coronavirus is ten times that of the seasonal flu, a claim without any scientific basis.
On Face the Nation, Fauci did his best to further damage an already tanking economy by stating, “Right now, personally, myself, I wouldn’t go to a restaurant.” He has pushed for closing the entire country down for 14 days.
Over what? A virus that has thus far killed just over 5,000 worldwide and less than 100 in the United States?
By contrast, tuberculosis, an old disease not much discussed these days, killed nearly 1.6 million people in 2017. Where’s the panic over this?
If anything, what people like Fauci and the other fearmongers are demanding will likely make the disease worse. The martial law they dream about will leave people hunkered down inside their homes instead of going outdoors or to the beach where the sunshine and fresh air would help boost immunity. The panic produced by these fearmongers is likely helping spread the disease, as massive crowds rush into Walmart and Costco for that last roll of toilet paper.
The madness over the coronavirus is not limited to politicians and the medical community. The head of the neoconservative Atlantic Council wrote an editorial this week urging NATO to pass an Article 5 declaration of war against the COVID-19 virus! Are they going to send in tanks and drones to wipe out these microscopic enemies?
People should ask themselves whether this coronavirus “pandemic” could be a big hoax, with the actual danger of the disease massively exaggerated by those who seek to profit – financially or politically – from the ensuing panic.
That is not to say the disease is harmless. Without question people will die from coronavirus. Those in vulnerable categories should take precautions to limit their risk of exposure. But we have seen this movie before. Government over-hypes a threat as an excuse to grab more of our freedoms. When the “threat” is over, however, they never give us our freedoms back.
About the author: Ronald Ernest Paul (born August 20, 1935) is an American author, physician, and retired politician who served as the U.S. Representative for Texas’s 22nd congressional district from 1976 to 1977 and again from 1979 to 1985, and for Texas’s 14th congressional district from 1997 to 2013. On three occasions, he sought the presidency of the United States: as the Libertarian Party nominee in 1988 and as a candidate in the Republican primaries of 2008 and 2012.
Lyme/MSIDS is killing and maiming people all over the world but this same CDC/NIH doesn’t care and has followed the same script for over 40 years despite the growing pandemic. Why would we trust these people with a virus when we can’t trust them with a disease that is rambling forward year by year infecting thousands upon thousands? They continue to give the same faulty tests, the same unscientific mono treatment, and continue to squash any doctor who dares to say otherwise.
Remember, the conflicts of interest within this group of authorities is a long rap-sheet: ConflictReport
‘It’s Not the Exact Same Virus Everywhere in the World’
— Preprint manuscript suggests COVID-19 virus has already mutated into multiple strains
by Greg Laub,Director, VideoMarch 19, 2020
A preprint manuscript posted on medRxiv analyzed COVID-19 coronavirus samples from Sichuan province of China for sequence variation and evolution, to determine how rapidly the virus is mutating during its pandemic spread, and the unpredictable effects it is having on containment efforts.
In this exclusive video interview with Harlan Krumholz, MD, of Yale University School of Medicine, he discusses the paper and says “we need to realize this is a moving target.”

I don’t post this to garner fear but rather to show something viruses do naturally – mutate. I post this to show that this makes testing rather challenging as well as the fact you may have already had this virus and will never know it. Testing for COVID-19 is abysmal – on par with Lyme/MSIDS testing.
The following article does a great job of explaining viral shedding as well as the fact many vaccines cause this shedding, thereby infecting others exposed to the individual who got vaccinated. Nobody seems to be thinking about this with a COVID-19 vaccine, but we sure should:https://madisonarealymesupportgroup.com/2019/08/05/what-is-vaccine-shedding/
