Re: Guardian: Plans for 30-minute Covid testing in England halted amid accuracy fears Archived Message Posted by sotsog on December 22, 2020, 10:19 pm, in reply to "Guardian: Plans for 30-minute Covid testing in England halted amid accuracy fears" I would really like to see evidence about pcr test accuracy. Maybe I’m not looking in the right places but I can’t seem to find it. The channel 4 undercover investigation into the Randox lab in Northern Ireland was shocking. These labs are not accredited like nhs labs are. An nhs microbiology consultant interviewed on the program said his lab would be shut down if it was running like randox. I think the government are saying they don’t really know the operational accuracy here. Don’t think there is anything more uptodate - this is from June https://assets.publishing.service.gov.uk/government/uploads/system/uploads/attachment_data/file/895843/S0519_Impact_of_false_positives_and_negatives.pdf And this is interesting but it is not my field and I’d be glad of any feedback. It is a criticism of the paper that “spawned” the global pcr testing. If true, it is fraud on a massive scale https://cormandrostenreview.com/report/ There are ten fatal problems with the Corman-Drosten paper which we will outline and explain in greater detail in the following sections. Normally, peer review is a time-consuming process since at least two experts from the field have to critically read and comment on the submitted paper. In our opinion, this paper was not peer-reviewed. Twenty-four hours are simply not enough to carry out a thorough peer review. Our conclusion is supported by the fact that a tremendous number of very serious design flaws were found by us, which make the PCR test completely unsuitable as a diagnostic tool to identify the SARS-CoV-2 virus. Any molecular biologist familiar with RT-PCR design would have easily observed the grave errors present in the Corman-Drosten paper before the actual review process. Porton down are involved in assessing the lateral flow tests https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/assessment-and-procurement-of-coronavirus-covid-19-tests/protocol-for-evaluation-of-rapid-diagnostic-assays-for-specific-sars-cov-2-antigens-lateral-flow-devices Message Thread: Guardian: Plans for 30-minute Covid testing in England halted amid accuracy fears - Sinister Burt December 22, 2020, 7:14 pm Re: Guardian: Plans for 30-minute Covid testing in England halted amid accuracy fears - sotsog December 22, 2020, 10:19 pm Re: Guardian: Plans for 30-minute Covid testing in England halted amid accuracy fears - Sinister Burt December 23, 2020, 10:27 am Re: Guardian: Plans for 30-minute Covid testing in England halted amid accuracy fears - sotsog December 26, 2020, 9:29 am How about *you* do some reading before splurging demands to read irrelevant stuff .. - Shyaku December 24, 2020, 12:28 pm Re: How about *you* do some reading before splurging demands to read irrelevant stuff .. - sotsog December 26, 2020, 10:06 am   Searching
