Use of the PCR test for COVID-19 needs to stop. I think there is more than enough evidence the cycle threshold used is too high resulting in massive false positives. Now this from a hearing in Canada. As a witness for the government Chief Microbiologist Dr. Jared Bullard admitted PCR tests do not detect infections well and were never intended to be used for this purpose.
Chief Microbiologist and Laboratory Specialist Dr. Jared Bullard is a witness for the Manitoba government in this hearing. Questioned under oath by Justice Centre lawyers on Monday May 10, Dr. Bullard acknowledged that the PCR test has significant limitations. The head of Cadham Provincial Laboratory in Winnipeg, Dr. Bullard admitted that PCR test results do not verify infectiousness, and were never intended to be used to diagnose respiratory illnesses.

Furthermore, Dr. Bullard testified that samples tested at a cycle threshold of over 25 produced no viable virus and samples tested at a cycle threshold of 18 only produced 44% positive samples. That means that at a low threshold of 18 56% tested negative and were not infectious. Manitoba has been testing at cycle thresholds of at least 40.
Dr. Bullard testified that determining whether or not a sample is actually infectious (containing a viable virus, capable of replicating) needs to be confirmed by lab culture. As noted, only 44% of the “positive” samples using a Ct of 18 returned a viable lab culture. Samples tested at a Ct of over 25, according to Dr. Bullard’s report, produced no viable lab cultures.
Manitoba has confirmed that it utilizes Ct’s of up to 40, and even 45 in some cases. This indicates “cases” resulting from such tests (above a Ct of 25) are almost certainly not actually infectious.

We’ve been lied to repeatedly by government. Not just Canada. The United States has been conducting the same tests at the same cycle thresholds. Stop the PCR testing now.
