Does Sars-Cov-2 Exist or Not?

https://www.lewrockwell.com/2021/09/jon-rappoport/cdc-fda-smoking-gun-of-smoking-guns/

They confess: they had no virus when they concocted the test for the virus; they “contrived” a model by pretending to find what they wanted to find; it’s called a self-fulfilling prophecy

This is the con and the crime that drove millions of lives, and economies, into ruin

by Jon Rappoport

The CDC has issued a document that bulges with devastating admissions.

The release is titled, “07/21/2021: Lab Alert: Changes to CDC RT-PCR for SARS-CoV-2 Testing.” It begins explosively:

“After December 31, 2021, CDC will withdraw the request to the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for Emergency Use Authorization (EUA) of the CDC 2019-Novel Coronavirus (2019-nCoV) Real-Time RT-PCR Diagnostic Panel, the assay first introduced in February 2020 for detection of SARS-CoV-2 only. CDC is providing this advance notice for clinical laboratories to have adequate time to select and implement one of the many FDA-authorized alternatives.”

Many people believe this means the CDC is giving up on the PCR test as a means of “detecting the virus.” The CDC isn’t saying that at all.

They’re saying the PCR technology will continue to be used, but they’re replacing what the test is looking FOR with a better “reference sample.” A better marker. A better target. A better piece of RNA supposedly derived from SARS-CoV-2.

CDC/FDA are confessing there has been a PROBLEM with the PCR test which has been used to detect the virus, starting in February of 2020—right up to this minute.

In other words, the millions and millions of “COVID cases” based on the PCR test in use are all suspect. Actually, that statement is too generous. Every test result of every PCR test should be thrown out.

To confirm this, the CDC document links to an FDA release titled, “SARS-CoV-2 Reference Panel Comparative Data.” Here is a killer quote:

“During the early months of the Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic, clinical specimens [of the virus] were not readily available to developers of IVDs [in vitro diagnostics] to detect SARS-CoV-2. Therefore, the FDA authorized IVDs based on available data from contrived samples generated from a range of SARS-CoV-2 material sources (for example, gene specific RNA, synthetic RNA, or whole genome viral RNA) for analytical and clinical performance evaluation. While validation using these contrived specimens provided a measure of confidence in test performance at the beginning of the pandemic, it is not feasible to precisely compare the performance of various tests that used contrived specimens because each test validated performance using samples derived from different gene specific, synthetic, or genomic nucleic acid sources.”

Translation: We, at the CDC, did not have a specimen of the SARS-CoV-2 virus when we concocted the PCR test for SARS-CoV-2. Yes, it’s unbelievable, right? And that’s the test we’ve been using all along. So we CONTRIVED samples of the virus. We fabricated. We lied. We made up [invented] synthetic gene sequences and we SAID these sequences HAD TO BE close to the sequence of SARS-CoV-2, without having the faintest idea of what we were doing, because, again, we didn’t have an actual specimen of the virus. We had no proof THERE WAS something called SARS-CoV-2.

This amazing FDA document goes to say the Agency has granted emergency approval to 59 different PCR tests since the beginning of the (fake) pandemic. 59. And, “…it is not feasible to precisely compare the performance of various tests that used contrived specimens because each test validated performance using samples derived from different gene specific, synthetic, or genomic nucleic acid sources.”

Translation: Each of the 59 different PCR tests for SARS-CoV-2 told different lies and concocted different fabrications about the genetic makeup of the virus—the virus we didn’t have. Obviously, then, these tests would give unreliable results. THE PCR TESTS USED CONTRIVED SPECIMENS OF THE VIRUS WE DIDN’T HAVE.

BUT, don’t worry, be happy, because NOW, the CDC and the FDA say, they really do have actual virus samples of SARS-CoV-2 from patients; they have better targets for the PCR test, and labs should start gearing up for the new and improved tests.

In other words, they were lying THEN, but they’re not lying NOW. They were “contriving,” but now they’re telling the truth.

If you believe that, I have Fountain of Youth water for sale, extracted from the lead-contaminated system of Flint, Michigan.

Here, once again, I report virology’s version of “we isolated the virus”:

They have a soup they make in their labs.

This soup contains human and monkey cells, toxic chemicals and drugs, and all sorts of other random genetic material. Because the cells start to die, the researchers ASSUME a bit of mucus from a patient they dropped in the soup is doing the killing, and THE VIRUS must be the killer agent in the mucus.

This assumption is entirely unwarranted. The drugs and chemicals could be doing the cell-killing, and the researchers are also starving the cells of vital nutrients, and that starvation could kill the cells.

There is no proof that SARS-CoV-2 is in the soup, or that it is doing the cell-killing, or that it exists.

Yet the researchers call cell-death “isolation of the virus.”

To say this is a non-sequitur is a vast understatement. In their universe, “We assume, without proof, we have the virus buried in a soup in a dish in the lab” equals, “We’ve separated the virus from all surrounding material.”

Virology equals “how to spread bullshit for a living and scare the world.” Other than that, it’s perfect.

“Modern medicine” was taken over by the Rockefellers and turned into a money pit business with the patient last in line, while the homeopaths, herbalists, naturalists, etc. were shunned, delicensed, ridiculed, attacked and/or their proven successes ignored.

Many modern medical doctors are in the process of moving from venerated medical heroes to brain washed, intimated, and/or bribed white coat agents of Big Pharma the emerging New World Order psychopaths.

Modern medicine was taken over by “health maintenance” organizations in conjunction with labor unions. When employers started to add “health insurance” as a form of compensation because private insurance started to become too expensive and employed lobbyists to bribe politicians to make it law was when socialist medicine started.
That was 50 years ago.

Cartels, monopolies, insider artificers erecting color of law barriers to artificially “illegalize” competition is the dogmatic religious-astrological (plutocratical orbiters in starchambers & countless Milgram-minions below) impulse you describe.

Lock up the “security” for the rainy days – what if the rains come & never stop? – via the imposition/worship of reigny days.

Neuroticism is the original neutron bomb. People come, self-neutralize, go, leaving relics, artifacts, fossils behind…for the next batch of Pogo Possum Fight Clubbers to depopulate.

Ingrate (in effect) neural substrate, terroir, like that is made to grow only the monocrop that human history has been: immoral, amoral, transmoral transectioning of the “body politic” Frankenstein. That is the cancerous process. War is an end in itself, not a means to an end, so endless war it is. Hobbes’ “cure” is the same as Pfizer’s…cuz Hobbes was just another lobbysit for Pfizer.

“Healthcare” cops to offing outright 250k per year. Do you suppose they include “aborted” kids in that figure? For a fact “outright” is just the tip of the ice berg. With camouflaged acceptable collateral damage chops like that, is it any wonder that “healthcare” is the tip of the technocrats-love-gaia spear?

Flick about psychiatrist RD Laing. Yeah, cleaned & compressed – it’s a flick. But a lot like Thomas Szasz. “Anti-psychiatrists.”

Duesberg, Szasz, Laing, ones like those are not common. And it’s more than just “cortical horsepower” (unless that’s properly understood, which typically-often it isn’t – the IQ fools).

Uncommon can’t be “scaled” (at least not nearly as quickly & “efficiently” as the Rockefellar ilk think the unter should have done for/to them). “What we got here, is failure to scale.” ~ Cool Hand Luke Ouroboros snake insists on scales – where’d that creature be without ‘em?

RT-PCR has the potential for the best sensitivity and selectivity, so they argued that, but the devil has always been in the details and these were obviously hokey tests in general and ridiculous for the application.

Antibody tests are the gold standard and those are not perfect. The problem with those (for them) is that they actually require someone to be infected and that’s not how you get big numbers.

That data would not be admissible in an academic journal. The author is correct in that it is standard procedure to throw out suspect data. You can’t do empirical science without adhering to that.

Having the correct viral RNA sequence and then selecting UNIQUE primers from it are only half the problem. The other part was that the specificity ended there. That is not enough even for an undergraduate student lab to be able to report results from. It doesn’t tell you anything with any known certainty. You can not rely solely on primers for specificity, because you can not ensure sample purity.

There are a bunch of labs claiming to have sequenced SARS-CoV-2, but as far as I know, the only way for any lab to get a sample is to request one from the government. That is troubling.

I went for my consultation for my coming up colonoscopy. My doctor asked me why I wasn’t vaccinated. I told her some of the truths about the shot. She just looked at me like I was speaking a foreign language and didn’t understand a word I had said. I was told that since I’m not vaccinated then I will have to take a covid test prior to the procedure. I brought up the issues with the PCR test as stated by the FDA pulling its’ EUA. Again, the glaze and the response was “it’s the best we have even if imperfect.” I started to mention what this imperfect test has caused. I asked about what cycles the test is run at the lab they use. She had no idea what I was talking about and said to ask the lab when I go for the test. She asked why I am taking all these supplements along with Ivermectin. I told her. She proceeded to show concern about the IVM and that it has side effects, so be careful. I told her I am under a doctor’s supervision and she seemed surprised that a PA doctor would write it as prophylaxis. She’s a great doctor at what she does so I was careful how I said what I said. I want her in a good disposition when she does the procedure l0l.

“There is no proof that SARS-CoV-2 … exists.”

Exactly what I have been saying for a long time. It is possible that there is some new virus out there making people sick, but if so, there is no way to know for sure, and no way to identify it, and no way to test for it. Most or all of the deaths that have been attributed to “COVID-19” are just the average flu, pneumonia, heart attacks, gunshot wounds, etc.

Therefore, ALL of the statistics on covid cases, covid deaths, and vaccine efficacy are completely meaningless. Additionally, many of the deaths that have been attributed to “COVID-19” since the kill shots were introduced were caused by the kill shots.

So in summary, there is an imaginary virus which is being treated by giving people a shot which will likely injure or kill them. Welcome to Clown World 2021. However it appears that there may be a fairly recent method that the NWO is using to kill people, unrelated to the vaccines. In Florida there have been several cases recently of unvaccinated alternative news personalities who are telling the truth about the vaccines that have become very ill with something they are calling “COVID-19”. Rick Wiles of TruNews and several of his family members and crew, and Ted and Austin Broer of Healthmasters and several of their family members got very sick recently (but all recovered). Also, Robert David Steele died recently while in Florida from something that is being called “COVID-19”. I don’t know if they are using a bioweapon or something else, but if I was a prominent alternative news personality living in Florida right now I would be very cautious.

Covid exists. We can say this with 100% assurity given antibody testing.

You can test blood from before 2018 and NONE of it has antibodies targeted toward covid. Conversely, when there’s a disease outbreak, and one person in the cluster tests positive for antibodies AFTER the outbreak, the others too will test positive on that same test.

This is a clear and identifiable phenomena. The tests are positive in some cases, negative in others, and will almost always give the same result from the same specimen. They’re also simple to conduct, and have been replicated by countless people, to include people outside of media/establishment sources.

Some notes on antibody testing:
Antibodies form near the end of the symptomatic chain. Antibody testing cannot be used to identify active cases.

If you have antibodies, and weren’t vaccinated, you DID have covid, and are now immune.

Conversely, no matter how much you think you had covid, if you take an antibody test within at least a year, and it comes up negative, you DIDN’T have covid. It does seem that antibody levels decrease over time, but how much is still unknown.

Antibodies are simply the more visible part of the immune system. Forcing the body to have antibodies, either through vaccination or just direct insertion, does not necessarily confer immunity. Natural immunity tends to persist even after the antibodies are gone, thus, lacking antibodies does not mean you are not immune. With that said, the human body WILL produce antibodies once it begins its overall immune response, and we can test for them, and we can distinguish them from the antibodies that result from other coronavirus.

As stated, you’re reversing the direction. You identify the virus from the antibodies, not the reverse.

It’s not that difficult to “see” antibodies. You can regularly and easily test for, basically all reasonable possibilities. You don’t know exactly what the virus looks like just by seeing the antibody, but you do know that a given virus produces a given antibody. In that sense, antibodies are like hashes for the virus. Therefore, when a new antibody shows up and circulates, Thence, a new virus has also shown up and entered circulation. You don’t know exactly what the virus looks like, but you do know it produces X antibody, and from that, you can identify who had it and who didn’t, and from that, you can get an idea of the symptoms and etc. and from there, a general idea of what the virus is.

There are only 5 main antibodies. IgA, IGD, IgE, IgG and IgM. In contrast there are believed to be over 10 billion antigens. Each antibody can take out any number of antigens. Question is how do you know which antigen/s was/were created by Covid-19 to activate one or more antibodies?

The PCR test is claimed to test for raised levels of IgM and IgG. IgM is usually the first since of active antibody release against infection and they claimed IgG was specific to Covid. Well there is one problem with that. My mother has multiple myeloma and has raised IgM and IgG levels therefore the PCR test would only show she had active antibodies not specifically what the infection (or in her case the cancer) was. A PCR test in her case would have a false positive. That is just one example to demonstrate how their testing is not as accurate as they like to claim.

You are claiming that antibodies are all identical. This is ridiculous on the face of it. Viruses would be long extinct if this were true.

There are five categories of antibodies. There are millions of antibodies within said categories. Don’t confuse the set with the members.

You don’t need PCR to test for antibodies. You just throw some blood at your viral simulacrum, and if the antibodies bind to it, but don’t bind to any previous known model, you’ve discovered a new virus. There are plenty of ways to tell if binding is happening, but it’s easy enough that you can pull it off by looking at the sample with a microscope.

This is all well and good, but it is a CLAIM.

There are many CLAIMS out there at this point.

Rhetorically, why would anyone believe yours over a different one?

Rhetorically, why would anyone believe any data from any government agency?

We are in a complexity-trap. Specialization has gotten to the point where it is impossible for the vast majority to devote the educational time necessary to understand complex issues and challenges.

Once that environment takes hold, everyone becomes a zealot. Even you must rely on many data sets that you must simply trust – in a World Full Of Liars and Power Mongers.

Now, the real problem is visible. It’s not whether or not Covid exists or we went to the moon or the veracity of any other claims being challenged.

The real problem is that our systems have become so complex only a handful of specialists in any endeavor can achieve a high level of probability of truly recognizing cause/effect/solutions to any given problem or challenge.

Now throw in “human nature”. Greed, jealousy, sociopaths, etc., and even when you have specialists that are highly credentialed, there is a potential to lie and manipulate. Like Fauci does.

You are in the same position as everyone else. You can now trust, but verification becomes more and more difficult as one moves up the complexity chain – for much of the population, it’s not very far up the chain for a given endeavor before they are completely stymied from moving up further and are left in a position without the ability to verify. Trust only. Technically, zealots.

The whole Covid thing is now just like the JFK assasination for the vast majority of the population: a mystery wrapped in a riddle inside an enigma.

I find that most such questions can be resolved with a few hours of research. The purpose of claims isn’t to replace research. It’s to point in the direction in which research may be done.

In the end, there’s no replacement for doing your own research. Until you’ve verified enough base points for yourself that you have a working model by which to speak about the topic, all you’re doing is mysticism.

It annoys me that people have opinions on topics that don’t interest them. First you encounter a topic. Then you determine the various theories that explain the topic. Once you have some idea what people are claiming, you go on and verify as much data as is necessary to have a working understanding of the topic at hand. If that seems like too much work, just admit that you don’t care. Not that you don’t know, or that it’s mysterious, or etc, because it isn’t. There’s a difference.

Not caring isn’t a sin. There are an infinite number of topics, whilst the human mind is finite. Not caring is natural and normal.

Pretending to care, while not actually caring, IS a sin.
