Here’s the catch, everyone here knows what side of the fence you’re on when it comes to Covid. You adhere to the “official MSM doom & gloom narrative” Hence anything that opposes your view is automatically labeled, nutcase, misinformation, whatever.
In relation to the rapid-tests that are currently being used to identify Covid infections, I’ve heard it from two different doctors that they are 50-50. One said and I quote, “might as well flip a coin”.
Testing is way over-rated, if you’re sick or feeling off, stay at home and away from people, it’s that simple. Testing for asymptotic individuals is nothing more than a crap shoot.
So when I read an opposing article that resonates with what I’ve personally heard from people in the medical field, I have to question the validity of the current Covid narrative and wonder if the actual “truth” is somewhere in between.
Integrity matters and the quality of your sources matter. Posting a bunch of nonsense with no scientific backing from fringe conspiracy lunatics does not make any of the information true or factual.
Rapid tests in the U.S. have only been distributed from the federal government in October and most states (including North Carolina) have not started using them yet. The standard PCR tests that take a couple of days to get results from are very accurate currently.
The rapid tests may not be very accurate but they are rarely used in the U.S. in comparison to the standard PCR tests --- so trying to make claims that all the overall testing is wrong based on the accuracy of rapid tests is simply misguided.
Seeing that the majority of COVID cases are spread by people showing no symptoms -- the importance of proper contact tracing and testing only increases.
The majority of people working in the front lines of the medical field do not doubt the COVID "narrative" -- they view people pushing COVID nonsense including this idiot Yeardon as significant threats to their health. Keep in mind that front-line COVID health workers on a global basis have a higher death and hospitalization rate than even the elderly. This is because they are exposed in an environment to high viral doses for lengthy shifts day after day -- many times with inadequate protection.
