The newest goalpost: a negative COVID test is meaningless and you should still assume you’re positive | Reddit Link (www.reddit.com)

If the tests are that inaccurate that a negative is actually a positive, how can we ensure that a positive is not actually a negative? How long is it gonna take before we collectively wake up and realize that most of what we're doing here is little different from stuffing a wolf's head with herbs and burning it on barn doors?

It will take forever because the propaganda machine is going full tilt and is completely effective against the majority of the population.

The propaganda machine is super effective on the propaganda machine. This has caused some minor feedback problems.

TBH that's probably a better positive indicator of fitness since it means you had to be healthy enough to hunt and kill a wolf.

My ex’s grandma is one of the people that’s in the highest risk categories

  • COPD/ Breathing issues. Check
  • Late stage Heart Disease check
  • Old Age 85+ Check Pneumonia was enough to put her in the hospital last winter For several days where it wasn’t possible for her to make it. By any accounts if she caught the virus she’d be done for.

She tested positive for the virus...

She was well enough for my ex to see her a few weeks later...

Somethings not adding up here and when that happened I knew something was suss about the deadliness of it

The virus has gotten less deadly as time has gone on, and that's assuming she had the virus at all.

Allegedly the false positive rate is smaller than the false negative rate. Though, I'd like to see how they came to those numbers.

It's not even a goal post.

Not only are the COVID-19 tests not accurate, they don't tell you that you have COVID-19, just that you had a Coronavirus. There are other diseases that fall into that category. On top of that, the vaccine doesn't even cover all the different strains of COVID-19, of which I think there are currently 4.

This isn't unknown information, they just don't care.

No vaccine and no test can stop you from getting or being diagnosed with COVID-19, having it, or even getting sick from it. Everything their doing is a form of security theater in order to get people to accept vast authoritarianism.
