On December 14, 2020, the World Health Organization (WHO) released a guidance memo (dated December 7, 2020), warning that high cycles on PCR tests could result in false positives. [1]
During the pandemic positive PCR is a positive “diagnosis” for COVID-19, rendering the person a COVID-19 “case” when in fact the asymptomatic person is highly likely negative, because HIGH CYCLES of 40-45 have been used throughout 2020 to create large number of false cases.
Traditionally PCR tests are use as a confirmatory test to help a doctor determine a disease diagnosis in someone who has symptoms.
But from March 2020 when the WHO declared “test, test, test”, millions of people who were designated a “close contact” received a test whether they had symptoms or not. If the PCR test returned a positive result, they were diagnosed as having COVID-19 (the disease), labelled asymptomatic if they were healthy, and became a “case” statistic. If the test was amplified over 35 cycles, 97% of “positive” results would be a “false positive“. PCR cycling was commonly run up to 40 to 45 cycles! Australia up to 40 cycles.
A few weeks before, on November 27, 2020 the European consortium of scientists requested the pivotal PCR test publication be retracted.
