PCR test is clinically worthless, Queensland survey shows
(but that's not how the authorities are spinning it)
A random population PCR survey (the first such survey to be conducted anywhere in Australia) by the Gold Coast Public Health Unit in Queensland (in conjunction with three Gold Coast universities who did the door-knocking) on 22nd January of 117 people living in that region found twenty ‘testing positive for the virus’ (https://www.abc.net.au/news/2022-02-03/qld-coronavirus-covid19-cases-vaccine-deaths-gold-coast-testing/100799382). Only four of these twenty had any symptoms. A week later, 143 people were randomly tested with 11 coming in positive of whom nine were symptom-free.
So, at least 80% of people who test positive with a PCR test are perfectly fine and at no risk to themselves or others. And, as far as we know, those who do have symptoms probably have only mild-moderate symptoms (whether of Covid or some other coronavirus-cased illness, we don’t know, and neither does the PCR because it can’t tell the difference between SARS-CoV-2, any common cold coronavirus, or the flu for that matter).
That diet of ‘cases’ we have been force-fed for two years has been unhealthy in terms of raising population fear levels. Divide every official ‘cases’ figure by at least five, leaving only those who are in any way symptomatic, and there has never been any cause to panic.
That is not how Queensland’s Chief Health Officer, John Gerrard, sees it, however. The Chief Panic Officer fretted that “a significant number of people in the Gold Coast community have COVID-19 but don't know it … there were people walking around the Gold Coast who had no idea that they had COVID-19", he said, oblivious to the fact that asymptomatic transmission has been found to be virtually non-existent. He is now clinging onto the policy of masking for dear life, presumably because of these walking well who would be spreading the illness they don’t have. “We still have to plan for the worst", he scaremongered.
So, at least 80% of positive PCR test results are totally useless clinically, yet vast swathes of the Australian economy, civil liberties, education and social life have been devastated based on forcing perfectly healthy people to isolate and ‘socially distance’, through blanket lockdowns, forced quarantine for ‘Covid contact’, mask mandates and sundry, arbitrary, ludicrous ‘restrictions’, all based on a rubbish diagnostic test. Whip this flimsy card away and the whole house of Covid cards comes crashing down.
