On January 13, 2020 the “WHO publishes the protocol for RT-PCR assay designed by a WHO partner laboratory to diagnose the novel coronavirus”. [ updated V2] Target PCR gene primers and probes from 7 world labs, reinforcing up to 45 cycles of amplification.

WHO “immediately began working with companies to produce high-quality PCR kits that were shipped to laboratories worldwide in early February 2020” [1]

This PCR test protocol was developed by Dr Drosten under “sever time constraints” and was in turn adopted by WHO without any clinical testing to then became the foundation for “diagnosing” COVID-19, and 17 days later generated the “case data” that justified declaring a PHEIC. [2]

PCR is a laboratory technique, also referred to as a Nucleic Acid Amplification Test (NAAT).

The WHO protocol references Christian Dorsten et al, of which their paper was published 10 days later on 23 Jan, after less than 24 hours in peer review, in a journal that Drosten is an editorial member!

By Nov 2020, this paper had been externally peer review finding 10 major scientific flaws, and major conflicts of interest. [3]

WHO released Diagnostic Testing for SARS-CoV-2 – 17 Jan, 19 Mar, 11 Sept 2020.  It wasn’t until the September edition before “clinical” criteria became part of the diagnosis on top of PCR.

Drosten also raced to design the diagnostic test protocol for 2003 SARS and 2009 H1N1 swine flu. [CV]

PCR tests have been the driver of “diagnosing” an “infected case” and to justify the “quarantining” of healthy people referred to as “asymptomatic carriers”.

PCR test with up to 40 cycles of amplification is recommended by CDC and AU health to “avoid false positives”, Dorsten’s paper references 45 cycles, yet in 2014 he stated PCR is not suitable for mass testing and turns healthy people into “statistically ill”.

Kary Mullis, PCR inventer, his patent used 20 cycles as each cycle doubles the initial sample.

WHO pushes “test, test, test” even though they know the PCR tests are meaningless as a diagnostic tool to determine an alleged infection of SARS-CoV-2.

WHO knows “the cycle threshold (Ct) needed to detect virus is inversely proportional to the patient’s viral load.”  This means when virus levels are low a high Ct is required to detect it (>35) and vice versa.

By Jan 2020 WHO reported the CDC had “developed a rRT-PCR test that can diagnose 2019-nCoV.” CDC rushed to produce the test kit and applied for FDA EUA, for a product that states “this test cannot rule out diseases caused by other bacterial or viral pathogens.” [4]

“Since no quantified virus isolates of the 2019-nCoV were available for CDC use at the time the test was developed…for detection of the 2019-nCoV RNA… characterized stocks [computer generated sequences were used] of in vitro transcribed full length RNA”. [2020, 2021]
