Imagine you are about to take a test.
You are sat at your table, with pens and pencils at the ready, prepared to do your best to pass.
Imagine the invigilator is reading out the rules and protocols; you've heard them all before, but this time they are a bit different, so you start to pay attention.
The new rules are that your new test has been simplified. The rules are that you don't actually need to write anything - all you need to do is sit there for 45 minutes and you will be guaranteed a 99% score.
If you feel that is too taxing, you may leave after 30 minutes and still be guaranteed a pass.
You sit back, smile and relax.
You did well, you got your Professional Competence Record and showed it proudly to your friends - except that they all had the same kind of certificate. Every subject took the new test - everybody passed.
So, you start to think: is your certificate worth anything?
What kind of test is it where you know the result before taking it? What is it actually testing?
Everybody seems happy, but what about those who were taking professional exams - the lawyers, the scientists, and dare I say it, the doctors - what are they worth?
Would you feel confident in seeking the advice or services of such a person? Would you trust someone, knowing that all they needed to do was sit there... and wait for a guaranteed result?
It dawns on you that your certificate is worthless and that your professional status is a sham.
This is how the "PCR test" is conducted everywhere in the world. A few labs are instructed as to how many cycles to perform and hence how many people should be declared false-positive and how many false-negative.
In the early months, they made some mistakes and created very unnatural-looking spikes that would never occur under the assumption of an actual virus spreading; they have become more proficient at creating the illusion of a natural rise and fall. If the alleged "new cases" were really new and really cases, there would be no need for a fake test. That such a sham persists means we can make no diagnosis beyond the fact you took a test.
Your prize for passing the test is to be a guinea pig to then test whether genetically modified humans can stay alive.
At least everyone has a certificate in having been a guinea pig. I know a lot of people who wouldn't mind getting a professional competency registration.
... this post made me cringe. I got COVID, but I'll still have to go get the vaccine in October. Otherwise there may be restrictions in the workplace. I don't know what reality is or what is the right thing to do
