When for a routine surgery consult today and after setting a date and time they told me I needed to be swabbed for Covid before the Surgery. I said NO but you can draw my blood and check for it. The nurse came back and said we can't check for Covid through a blood draw. I said than Covid is not real if it can't be found in my blood. She asked if this was a deal breaker. I said yes. See you when you guys wake up to the scam and I walk out.

I agree with you, OP, but I must be a devil's advocate for a minute. Doctors' offices normally do not perform blood draws. Retired nurse talking here. They give you a script, and you go to a lab. That should have been explained to you, and if it was not or I am missing something, shame on them and shame on me.
No country has isolated the covid virus in a lab and provide it under the Freedom of Information Act. I wanted them to draw my blood and look for an unknown virus. They could have sent me a day or 2 before the surgery to have the blood drawn and tested.

This is just not true. I cannot remember the last time I was sent to a lab for any kind of sample that wasn't for a job application. You never work home health care either have you?

Actually, MANY primary care offices have a phlebotomist on staff for specifically drawing blood to send off for advanced lab diagnostics. Advanced lipid profiles, genetic biomarkers, etc.
