We have detailed the controversy surrounding America’s COVID “casedemic” and the misleading results of the PCR test and its amplification procedure in great detail over the past few months.
As a reminder, “cycle thresholds” (Ct) are the level at which widely used polymerase chain reaction (PCR) test can detect a sample of the COVID-19 virus. The higher the number of cycles, the lower the amount of viral load in the sample; the lower the cycles, the more prevalent the virus was in the original sample.
Numerous epidemiological experts have argued that cycle thresholds are an important metric by which patients, the public, and policymakers can make more informed decisions about how infectious and/or sick an individual with a positive COVID-19 test might be. However, as JustTheNews reports, health departments across the country are failing to collect that data.
Here are a few headlines from those experts and scientific studies:
2. The Wadworth Center, a New York State laboratory, analyzed the results of its July tests at the request of the NYT: 794 positive tests with a Ct of 40: “With a Ct threshold of 35, approximately half of these PCR tests would no longer be considered positive,” said the NYT. “And about 70% would no longer be considered positive with a Ct of 30! “
3. An appeals court in Portugal has ruled that the PCR process is not a reliable test for Sars-Cov-2, and therefore any enforced quarantine based on those test results is unlawful.
4. A new study from the Infectious Diseases Society of America, found that at 25 cycles of amplification, 70% of PCR test “positives” are not “cases” since the virus cannot be cultured, it’s dead. And by 35: 97% of the positives are non-clinical.
5. PCR is not testing for disease, it’s testing for a specific RNA pattern and this is the key pivot. When you crank it up to 25, 70% of the positive results are not really “positives” in any clinical sense, since it cannot make you or anyone else sick
So, in summary, with regard to our current “casedemic”, positive tests as they are counted today do not indicate a “case” of anything. They indicate that viral RNA was found in a nasal swab. It may be enough to make you sick, but according to the New York Times and their experts, probably won’t. And certainly not sufficient replication of the virus to make anyone else sick. But you will be sent home for ten days anyway, even if you never have a sniffle. And this is the number the media breathlessly reports… and is used to fearmonger mask mandates and lockdowns nationwide…
Almost 7K deaths, including my dad is something that should be reported. A statewide mask mandate when @dougducey reopened the state could have saved thousands of lives.

All of which is background for an intriguing decision made by Florida’s Department of Health (and signed off on by Florida’s Republican Governor Ron deSantis).
For the first time in the history of the pandemic, a state will require that all labs in the state report the critical “cycle threshold” level of every COVID-19 test they perform.
All positive, negative and indeterminate COVID-19 laboratory results must be reported to FDOH via electronic laboratory reporting or by fax immediately. This includes all COVID-19 test types – polymerase chain reaction (PCR), other RNA, antigen and antibody results.
Cycle threshold (CT) values and their reference ranges, as applicable, must be reported by laboratories to FDOH via electronic laboratory reporting or by fax immediately.

So, why is Florida doing this? There appears to be three options:
1) Pro-Trump – Florida is attempting to pre-empt the Biden Team’s plan to slash the Ct used by labs for COVID “case” which will eliminate the false positives and show “cases” plunge “thanks to Biden’s mask/lockdown/vaccine-confidence” rules.
2) Pro-Biden – Florida is beginning the ‘fake rescue’ plan outlined here (and above)
3) Pro-Science – Florida is the first state to actually pay attention to the real ‘science’ of PCR tests.
We hope, for the sake of Americans’ livelihoods it is Option 3 and the ‘casedemic’ will collapse on itself and allow we, the people to go back to some sense of normality.

“…allow we, the people to go back to some sense of normality.”
Good luck with that.
Yeah Ron. Now stop the Key West government from defying your eo.
they will soon be rolling out “newer faster” testing, that will dull this fine point of cycle thresholds, which is something far too complicated a subject to make my dead grandmother change her future voting patterns.
Govenor Ron is exposing the Scam-demic. One of only a very few.
In Florida we have no mask mandates and our numbers are on par with those that do mandate masks. So, what does that tell you?
The PCR testing results can be easily manipulated anyway you want. The amplification count is just like a rheostat. You want a higher “case count” just dial up the amplification number to 40 as it is generally used currently and you get millions of false positives. You want fewer cases, dial down the number of amplification cycles. Voila, whatever number you want.
It’s all BS. We have reached HIT ( herd immunity threshold) meaning we are safe from further transmission in all but the very old and those with comorbidities.
Ivermectin is a highly effective prophylactic in preventing and treating even severe cases of Covid. Vaccines are useless and potentially dangerous in the fight of this imaginary hobgoblin.
Local governments in FL do have mask mandates (Key West), have arrested people and intend to collect fines when his eo expires.
Maybe this is a start:

Well, that would be great. Can we get a ruling by next week or will we have to wait for 10 years?
This is a critical development, IMO. Misuse of the PCR test has been the key to the whole hoax. This is what several large lawsuits against government pandemic policies in US, Canada, and the EU are targeting. Maybe our best hope for a return to normality is undercutting the faux casedemic by exposing this. Otherwise the evil bastards behind all this will simply direct their minions to quietly lower the sensitivity of the tests after something outrageous–like Biden shutting the entire country down for several weeks–then claim, “It worked! The government came through!” And the sheep will nod and thank their saviours and won’t worry that the government hasn’t surrendered its new draconian powers.

From what I remember reading a few weeks back, that 40 Ct is mandated by the FDA … and the WHO …
The former head of research at Pfizer even said that of course we’ve got ‘cases’ … with a Ct at 40 it’s almost impossible for someone to NOT show a positive result. He warned that false positives are occurring 60-90% of the time due to the Ct of 40 … and for no other reason.
GIGO …
This is how Biden will cure the plague. In Sept they ramped up cycles to 40+ from what I read. Just in time for election and the normal flu season. Once inaugurated that will be ramped down to 20 or 30, still too many to be valid but a dramatic decline in cases will follow.
Testing is a critical hinge point. If a majority the test results were false, there was no pandemic. If there was no pandemic, everything else that flowed from the pandemic designation lacks legitimacy.
