I’ve been trying to make sense of it. The PCRs are %100 defective in my mind so seeing that 1:1 was interesting.
If I step back maybe that’s the entire base premise of “Covid is just bad Flu B” which is entirely possible.
No clue. Times like this I wish I was a microbiologist / virologist etc that knew how to validate directly. I’ve talked to a number of folks in the field that I trust but all drink the kool aid and haven’t dissected samples down personally. So it’s just cult of personality versus cult of personality with maximum ass hurt if I dare question. It’s actually wild. These folks get brazenly triggered if I am in any way skeptical or ask to see data. The indoctrination is super severe
Ya I get pretty immediately dismissive when indirectly ask and they confirm they did no controls. I don’t really care who you are - if you claim science then actually science. Replicate it and know it. I work in Open Source programming and we still have to exercise everything continuously. These cats I know just parrot. It’s almost like the rule “if someone claims to be smart they are the dumbest son of a bitch in the room”. Some of us take pride in the possibility of being wrong - we like the idea we can improve vastly - honestly & quickly.
I need to grab the exact kits tomorrow. Going to see what I can drag out. I’ve put this formally on the back burner for too long. The curiosity has me
I def have seen a pattern of boxed Flu B positives and PCR positives. It’s 1:1
