Some goalpost shifting from MSNBC’s Hayes Brown
A Covid vaccine is the last thing we need to think about right now
The good news is a given at this point: A Covid-19 vaccine is going to be available to Americans. You will eventually get it if everything stays on its current course. The bad news is that any vaccine that gets approved won’t help you personally for at least months.
It’s probably for the best that you try to forget that a vaccine has been discovered at all. At least for a while.
I repeat: You will not benefit from the vaccine directly for a good long while, because “a vaccine is approved” isn’t the same as “the pandemic is over.”
I know it’s hard to accept. I get it. We’ve been stuck in purgatory for months, unable to plan for — or even picture — the future. The pandemic has kept us unsure about when — or whether — things will ever be normal again.
With news of an imminent vaccine, the fog is starting to clear. It’s easy to make the mental leap that since things will be much better soon, the danger has abated now. As that’s not the case, it’s probably for the best that you try to forget that a vaccine has been discovered at all. At least for a while.
On one hand, this is true. Until most are vaccinated things will still be dangerous. Hey, you could get it and be asymptomatic, or, you could be one of the deaths. But, let’s be honest, the Fear Porn brokers at MSNBC, an arm of the Democratic National Committee, want to to continue living in fear, the better to control you. Remember when they were all saying things would get back to normal with a vaccine?
Even if the vaccine were ready for every man, woman and child today, the line to get vaccinated is already lengthy. Doctors and other health-care workers are predicted to receive the first doses because of their constant exposure to people who’ve tested positive for the coronavirus. Then will likely come nursing home residents, first responders, people with health risks associated with Covid-19, essential workers and on and on until you get to the rest of the population.
The better to keep you locked down and getting used to being Told What To Do by your political masters.
Estimates now indicate that there may not be enough vaccine for the general public until May or June — and that was before the news that the government may have problems ordering more from Pfizer. That hasn’t stopped people from already asking their doctors when they can get vaccinated. New York University’s Langone Hospital had to send out a text Monday saying that, essentially, its patients’ guesses were as good as its was. (snip)
And all that doesn’t mean the pandemic is over. We still need to see whether, as Fauci said, people who are immune to the virus can still spread it after being vaccinated. Which means that until you and everyone you know has had both shots, it’s probably best that you take the fact that a vaccine exists at all and lock it up in the back of your head. Instead, keep acting as though it’s still dangerous to see your friends and families as we head into the Christmas season. It’s all around for the best.
See, the idea here is to make it so Government can shut down your Christmas (but, don’t expect Government employees to forgo their holiday pay day off, you peons), and then shift the goal posts as the vaccine is coming out.
Trump should have talked to all the GOP governors and got them to declare the news business a “non-essential service”. Shut them down and see how quick they change their tune.
Teach isn’t as stupid as he pretends, typing: Until most are vaccinated things will still be dangerous.
And that was the point of the article.
The question isn’t, is COVID-19 dangerous. The question is: is COVID-19 more dangerous to the public than the destruction of our economy and our constitutional rights? I say that no, it is not more dangerous than what has been done to our economy, with twelve million — and probably many more — thrown out of work by the obscene governmental overreaction to it.
It is not more dangerous than costing a whole year of education for students: “School districts from coast to coast have reported the number of students failing classes has risen by as many as two or three times – with English language learners and disabled and disadvantaged students suffering the most.”
Nor is it more dangerous than the loss of our constitutional rights: state and local governments have trampled on our free exercise of religion and right peaceably to assemble. As one federal judge put it:
Governors have declared it illegal for people to gather in more than limited numbers — some eight, some ten — and limited the number of ‘households’ which could gather for Thanksgiving, and presumably Christmas, while encouraging the Gladys Kravitzes of the country — or perhaps the O’Briens of <1984 — to spy and snitch on their neighbors if there were too many people enjoying themselves.
Perhaps they were inspired more by the Comités de Defensa de la Revolución, inasmuch as the Democratic governors seem a rather unlettered bunch. They read their law school texts, but seemingly little else.
There is no “danger” in a flu that has a 98.8% survival rate. The scamdemic is just another arrow in the communist quiver to crush America.
COVID testing labs never tell doctors or patients how the PCR test is run.
This means the number of cycles is a secret.
A cycle is a step up in amplification of the tissue sample taken from the patient.
As even Tony Fauci has asserted, tests run at 35 cycles or above are useless. They’re also misleading. The results tend to be positive, meaning the patient is “infected with the virus.†But this is false.
However, as I’ve also reported, the CDC and the FDA recommend that the test should be run at up to 40 cycles. This is a direct hustle. It ensures false positives and higher COVID case numbers—used as justification for lockdowns.
Now, the state of Florida is doing something unheard of. It’s demanding that labs report the “cycle threshold†for every test they run.
Here is the relevant wording in a release from the Florida governor, Ron DeSantis, and the state Department of Health, dated December 3:
“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.â€
“If your laboratory is not currently reporting CT values and their reference ranges, the lab should begin reporting this information to FDOH within seven days of the date of this memorandum.â€
We can assume there is only one reason for this order. The Florida governor and the Department of Health are aware that tests run at 35 cycles or higher are useless and misleading, and they want to stop this crime.
Imagine what happens if the trend of “new COVID cases†in Florida soon takes a sudden dip and keeps on falling—because labs are finally telling the truth. Because their deceptive test results are being rejected. The con will be exposed.
And imagine other states following Florida’s example.
I have a few concerns. The term “cycle threshold†is taken to be more or less synonymous with “number of cycles.†But I would prefer Florida simply say: “All labs must report the number of cycles for each PCR test they run.†For me, that would be clearer.
And then, down in the Florida memo, we have this: “If your laboratory is unable to report CT values and their reference ranges, please fill out the brief questionnaire attached to this memorandum and submit by facsimile to the FDOH’s Bureau of Epidemiology confidential fax line…â€
Unable to report? Why would any lab be unable?
The questionnaire offers two bizarre possibilities. The first: “Although the qualitative result is generated based on a CT value, the assay/instrument does not provide the user [the lab] with the actual CT value—it only provides the qualitative result.â€
What?? This indicates the lab’s PCR equipment is internally pre-programmed to run the test at a certain number of cycles, and the lab doesn’t know what that number is, can’t find out, and can’t demand the equipment manufacturer disclose that vital piece of information. ABSURD. We’re dealing with a state secret?
The second item in the questionnaire for labs: “The laboratory does not have a separate mechanism to report the CT value to FDOH [Florida Dept. of Health] since the CT value does not get reported to the submitting provider.â€
No mechanism for reporting? SET ONE UP. Email, fax, pencil and paper, carrier pigeon. Also ABSURD.
As always, the devil is in the details. I’m sure many labs will try to avoid reporting. They don’t want to be exposed as the charlatans they are.
Memo to Florida Governor DeSantis: Don’t let the labs weasel out of this one. Don’t let them give you excuses. Don’t let them off the hook. Failure to report true facts during a public health crisis is felony. Charge a few labs, drag them into court. Put fear of prosecution into state labs. You’re on the right track. You’ve made a major breakthrough. You see the con at work. You don’t want your state to be pressured into lockdowns based on fake case numbers derived from deceptive tests. Now make sure your enforcement personnel crack down on reluctant labs. Go the distance. If labs have equipment pre-set for the number of cycles, and they don’t know how to get inside the equipment to find that number, bring in pros who will do the job for them. I believe you’ll uncover a major scandal. Much of that equipment will be pre-set for 40 cycles. Keep updating the public on what you discover. Blow this crime wide open. Keep a very close eye on your public health officials. Among them, you’ll find agents who don’t want the truth to emerge. They’ll try to sabotage your good efforts every which way they can.
DON’T LET THEM.
THE DEMOCOMMIES EVEN MADE THE FLU POLITICAL!!!!

Kye,
Using specific genetic sequence probes, PCR determines the presence of SARS-CoV-2 specific genetic sequences. It doesn’t determine if the subject is infectious or not.
Someone not infected with SARS-CoV-2 should have NO virus sequence, but you can never rule out contamination since PCR is so sensitive.
Death is a more easily determined endpoint. Almost every health care worker can determine if their patient is dead or alive. As of today 288,000 Americans have died from Covid-19, 3000 today alone.
In addition, long term sequelae including multi-organ inflammation leads to chronic liver, lung and kidney damage, blood clotting disorders.
288,000 families don’t agree that the pandemic is harmless.
288,000 Americans have NOT died from the Biden Flu. There has been no appreciable deaths. None. Those Americans died of other causes and the flu was blamed for political reasons. You know it and we know it because we can read. But we don’t lie about flus or elections. Or Russia. Or China. Or race. Or gender. Those are your bailiwick.

Kye,
The pandemic is not a hoax. There have been appreciable deaths – soon to pass 300,000 in the US alone.
Donald Trump lost the election, bigly. trump lawyers have yet to provide credible evidence of fraud.
“Russia” was not a hoax. The trump campaign and administration had contacts with Russia that deserved investigation.
“Ukraine” was not a hoax. trump tried to extort “dirt” on his political opponent.
The Earth is warming from the CO2 we’re adding to the atmosphere.
You deny the truth and make up tales. It’s like a cult or a religion.
Kye,
We assume you will NOT receive the SARS-CoV-2 vaccine.
There is no danger in a virus that has a 98.5% survival rate
Realky ?
There is no danger perhaps got YOU but fetsinlybutvwax a danger for the 280000 who have already died
Tgat is as stupid as saying that there was no danger in WE2,
More Americans have already died from the Trump virus than were killed in that war
Woukd you say there was no danger from Islamic terrorism because 90 times fewer died on 9/11 than have died so far ?
John-what war was “WE2� If you’re talking about WW2, then over 407,000 were killed in that war. But WE2 could be anything, I suppose..
As seen on Twitter: “They can mail me the vaccine. I’ll mail back my signature verifying that I took it. You know, safe, secure and honest just like mail in ballots.â€
I love your idea Jl. Maybe we could also do it this way with concealed carry permits and driver licenses.
