Q: There is no test that actually proves covid-19 exists. The patients you have seen probably had influenza A or influenza B or this years flu strain. Please, if you can prove me wrong, I will gladly apologize
The symptoms you described sound exactly as the ones I provided above, no?
A: That's a hard yet easy question to answer. I know what is going on in the clinical setting; I know very little about the lab setting.
I cannot say for sure what the hospitals are doing behind the scenes. I don't work in the labs; there could be some maleficence going on for sure. To answer your question, has Flu A and Flu B been misdiagnosed to increase revenue? Yes. Does it happen all the time? No. I think it depends on how greedy the hospital system is or if they have a political agenda.
Where I work, I think we get accurate lab results based on the way our patients respond to treatment. A viral panel and PCR test are sent on any patient having respiratory symptoms. The viral panel includes Flu A, Flu B, Rhinovirus, influenza, and RSV. The covid patients viral panel most of the time come back negative. The PCR test will come back positive.
I know if you run the PCR through too many cycles, it will always produce a false positive test result. I know there is a possibility that lab workers have been instructed to falsify the lab data because a covid diagnosis brings in more revenue.
That being said, though, all of our Flu A and Flu B patients usually make a full recovery in a few days and get discharged, while many of the covid patients do not respond to therapeutic intervention. You may have heard that it is not advised to intubate covid patients; that is because they do not respond to positive pressure being applied to the lungs; however, Flu A and Flu B patients do.
Flu A and Flu B oxygenation impairment is caused by secretions in the lungs. Covid oxygenation impairment is caused by perfusion issues (blood clots in the lungs).
Your lungs have a balance of ventilation and perfusion. Air is moving in and out of the lungs and blood, picking up the oxygen, and carrying it to your body. When one is altered, you get a V/Q mismatch. V being ventilation and Q being perfusion.
Covid patients always have a perfusion issue, so the amount of oxygen or pressure applied to the lungs does very little to improve things. The covid virus causes micro emboli that plug up the lungs. There is something about the covid virus that causes the red blood cells to clump together, causing micro emboli.
Just like the vaccinated people who have giant blood clots, it's the same thing, just on a less severe scale. The vaccine and the virus itself have and /or produce the spike proteins. I think those proteins inhibit the hemoglobin oxygen carrying ability, and as a result, the hemoglobin sticks together instead of repelling each other. It changes the + and - charges on the red blood cells.
We learned a while back that giving blood thinners will provide better therapeutic effects if given early than the typical antiviral treatments.
So the reason you thought all the covid patients were just Flu A and B is because in the beginning, the FDA instructed labs to run the PCR tests at higher test cycles. (Remember, they were trying to scare the people). All the covid patients, Flu A and B, were getting placed in the same basket, so to speak. If the hospitals wanted to increase revenue, they would not send a viral panel and always come back with a false positive PCR test. Extra $18,000 for each diagnosis. This pandemic was incentivized by our government and propagated by the media.
I often wondered if the incentives were part of an investigation to see which hospitals would do the right thing and which would take the bait. It looks like most if not all failed, it's called greed.
This answer is great mostly because it focuses on what the writer has personally observed, and does not speculate on other areas. That said, his answer is in-depth regarding lung performance, ventilation, and the difference between covid and the flu as regards oxygenation, with clinical observations about clotting.
If anyone is interested in even more information about covid, including the pharmacokinetics, vulnerable and less vulnerable populations, treatment options compared against each other, and a fairly complete pathology, I recommend medcram.com's free course on covid. The speaker is a clinician who has provided continuing medical education for years, and has excellent communication skills including graphical breakdowns. Many CME courses are fronts for the latest big pharma trends, but this one is not: it's straight-up science, using both his own clinical observations, hunches from his team and contributors, and worldwide studies that are cited for anyone to research independently. I don't recommend the full course because the beginning courses demonstrate the lack of knowledge and study from covid's beginning, but rather choosing the lessons based on their accurate titles. The website is much better than YouTube, in terms of finding the lesson that matches your interest.
