Harmful Covid Tests

Physically and psychologically dangerous testing for covid-19 infection has become a worldwide injustice, promoted as a blessing. Many people have voluntarily taken to obsessive at-home testing, and employers, event coordinators, cruise ships, ports of entry, etc, often require tests. Requiring covid testing is a flagrant human rights abuse, though one could assume that testing is benign. The pernicious concept that testing is a good practice, may have no ‘off-switch’ once flipped on in people’s minds, presenting the threat of developing an unmitigated self-compulsion to test. At a time in history in which mental health garners more attention than ever before, covid testing spurs paranoia and the mistaken belief that people should be comforted or worried by the results, which are actually inconclusive. It’s particularly egregious that covid tests are licensed under Emergency Use Authorization [EUA], because this incentivizes Big Pharma test manufacturers, test providers, and others, to lobby for a permanent state of emergency that is used to override our constitutional rights.

Covid rapid tests have cross-reactivity with other viruses, and can yield false positive and false negative results. That is, a positive result can occur without being infected with covid, and a negative result does not rule out covid infection. Furthermore, polymerase chain reaction (PCR) has been established as the fool’s-gold standard for covid testing, and is not suitable to diagnose illnesses, due to its tendency to falsely imply causation, as explicitly stated by Kary Mullis, who won the Nobel Prize in 1993 for inventing PCR. Even covid-policy Renfield Dr. Anthony Fauci has admitted that PCR tests replicate ‘dead,’ inactive virus particles, leading to false positives. Inactive particles may be inhaled, or leftover after a patient is no longer sick.

Nasal swabbing for the tests is invasive, irritating to the mucosa, and risky, especially if not performed in a precise manner, and the swabs contain the toxic compound ethylene oxide. Humans are being used as guinea pigs to determine the long term risks from exposure to ethylene oxide from swabs used at a frequency never seen before covid.

The linked testing recommendations flow chart from the Centers for Disease Control [CDC] website is a display of government overreach, and it’s easy to see a fear-mongering or coercive aspect that is not used for other serious diseases like herpes, strep throat, etc. The chart indicates that if you’re not symptomatic, and haven’t been exposed to a sick person (as if you’d know how many sick people you’ve been exposed to on a typical day), it then directs you to boxes recommending testing for work, school, or event planning, thereby fueling paranoia. Note indications that flu cases were blamed on covid before the genetic vaccine rollout, as evidenced by the supposed disappearance of the flu, and now that the shots have been shown to not prevent transmission^☭ or severe illness, and everyone knows multiple vaccinated people who were sickened, covid cases are seemingly being blamed on the flu. This failure of the gene jabs, and the actually-increased risk caused by them, are being covered up. A UK study by Emani, et al. (2022) that simply analyzed government vaccine surveillance system data (the equivalent of VAERS data in the US), including coronavirus dashboard data and National Health Services (NHS) data, stated:

“We observed negative vaccine effectiveness (VE) for the third dose since December 20, 2021, with a significantly increased proportion of SARS-CoV2 cases[,] hospitalizations, and deaths among the vaccinated; and a decreased proportion of cases, hospitalizations, and deaths among the unvaccinated.”

It’s no wonder these authors are still awaiting peer-reviewed acceptance of their findings, even though they didn’t do an experiment, and they drew their conclusions from virtually indisputable government data. The peer review process has increasingly become a tool used to approve studies that reinforce established views, and disapprove credible studies that challenge such views, thereby propping up careers of the medical establishment, whose largest donors are pharmaceutical industry manufacturers. This problem with peer review is not limited to medicine however, and not only hinders progress in all fields of science, it is very dangerous.

Hospital physicians have also admitted that hospitals have exaggerated covid cases, and counted all deaths, when patients (dubiously) tested positive, as “from-covid” deaths, instead of “with-covid” deaths. This even includes patients who died from such disparate causes as gunshot wounds and car accidents, sometimes to the tune of only 10% of ‘covid hospitalizations’ actually being caused by covid. Questionable covid testing results, and falsified causation, are being used along with other egregious distortions of public perception, including peer-review manipulation, and propaganda from Operation Mockingbird-controlled, pharma-sponsored media, to reinforce “emergency” trampling of our rights, and thereby secure the emergency-associated dictums used for socialist profiteering. Chip Roy (R, TX) noted the socialist nature of the medical tyranny we’re experiencing, in a recent hearing on an anti-socialism resolution. Responding to Maxine Waters’ (D, CA) accusation that republicans allude to wanting unregulated business that would hurt citizens (12:40 mark), Roy said that contrary to her statement, a great example of “corporations grinding over the American people,” is “Pfizer and Moderna making 100 billion dollars,” by taxpayer-funded government contracts, for shots protected from liability and forced on Americans by mandates and coercion.

Like the CDC, the federal government also recommends taking covid tests if you’ve been near someone with covid (ie someone who tested positive with a dubious test), or if you plan to attend a gathering. Government and pharmaceutical messaging telling people to get tested are profiteering ventures (with government officials profiting by campaign donations from pharma giants), ignoring the health risks of testing. These legal-cartel companies intentionally utilize the fear mongering and false positive/negative propensities of the tests, to sell their drugs. The tests are generating huge profits through public sales and through socialistic government purchases. The Biden Administration spent 73 billion taxpayer dollars on efforts to increase covid testing, including free tests for American households. CBS reported that the BinaxNow rapid test alone generated $1.6 billion in sales in the third quarter of 2021, and that testing labs such as Quest Diagnostics, and retailers like Walgreens, were enjoying a boost in profits thanks to covid tests. Because various businesses, including funeral homes, concert venues, and cruise ships, require third-party test results, labs and doctors are charging up to $500 per test.

The mental health implications and inaccuracy of testing, and the statistics-driven hysteria the tests enable, should be reasons enough to deter at-home testing, and generate public backlash against testing requirements. Even without these considerations, the safety of any new practice should be carefully examined, including covid testing, especially given that individuals may be frequently tested.

Ethylene Oxide on Testing Swabs

According to the Food and Drug Administration [FDA], about half of the sterile medical equipment used in the United States is sterilized using ethylene oxide [ETO] gas. Manufacturers place medical devices in gas-permeable packaging, which the gas diffuses through and contacts all surfaces of the devices. Following sterilization, ETO residue remains on medical devices. The Medical Device and Diagnostic Industry website discusses allowable limits for ETO residue on devices, including daily limits for exposure, limits to prevent overexposure from devices used more than 100 times in a lifetime, and limits for implants. These regulations show that the physical danger of ETO residue on covid test nasal swabs is a legitimate concern. The CDC stated, “ETO has been linked to spontaneous abortion, genetic damage, nerve damage, peripheral paralysis, muscle weakness, and impaired thinking and memory.” The chemical is also linked to cancer. In an ironic attempt at “fact checking” (a truly Orwellian concept) of a false claim that a chemical used in anti-freeze is on the swabs, Reuters confirmed that ETO is used for sterilizing rapid test nasal swabs, citing a spokesperson for the United Kingdom’s Department of Health and Social Care. Furthermore, Reuters included in their “fact check” a blatantly false statement, by Dr. Alexander Edwards of the University of Reading, claiming, “As [ETO] is a gas, there is no way it can be carried forward after the manufacture into any of these products. We know this from decades of safety and toxicity research. The use is strictly controlled and regulated.” As documented above, the reason there are allowable limits set for ETO in medical devices is that there is residue left on the devices. A reasonably skeptical person can surmise that these residue limits may not fully protect people from ETO toxicity, but will fully protect manufacturers and medical practitioners from liability.

An example of exposure limits established in a manner that protects the manufacturer more than the user are the radio frequency radiation exposure limits set for Apple Inc.’s iPhones. The phones come with a printed explanation of these limits, and suggests ways for the user to limit their own exposure. An online version of Apple’s treatment of this issue is under the “Legal” section of their website. It’s not found in a ‘health concerns’ section, because it is written to protect Apple, not you the consumer. For the iPhone 8 plus (the phone I have), Apple states: “To reduce exposure to RF energy, use a hands-free option, such as the built-in speakerphone, the supplied headphones, or other similar accessories.” So it’s clear that cell phones present a real danger, and that the exposure limits adopted by governments are designed to keep phones from giving you acute-enough health damage to be easily pinned on the manufacturers. These limits are not set at a fully safe level, or they wouldn’t tell you to “use a hands-free option.” By the way, bluetooth headphones are certainly not a safer option, as can be seen in this video in which a man tests air pods (and a microwave oven) with a radiation meter, and finds off-the-chart levels.

Pesticide toxicity limits are a great example of safety limits being limited in their safety. Pesticide labels specify measures that must be carefully taken to minimize exposure, such as personal protective equipment, hand washing after pesticide application, etc. Although animal testing is performed to determine potential hazards such as acute oral and dermal toxicity, and carcinogenicity, and though labels specify safety protocols, widely-used pesticides such as chlorpyrifos insecticide, have nonetheless been recalled after having been marketed for many years, due to their toxic effects on humans. Chlorpyrifos was first registered in the US in 1965, and was used on food crops and ornamental plants such as golf course turf, but was banned from use on plants grown for food in 2021. The insecticide can cause health problems from exposure to a high dose, or by low-dose exposure over time, and is linked to weakness in the arms and legs from nerve deterioration, low IQ in children, autism, Parkinson’s, wheezing from airway disruption, and other neuromuscular conditions. But it was allowed in ‘safe levels’ on food for 56 years. 

Like the above examples, ethylene oxide exposure limits for medical devices such as covid tests do not guarantee safety. This is especially true for ETO in covid rapid tests, since the tests are a new concept that no one has ever used in the past for respiratory illnesses, and is even more apparent in the case of people who obsessively take the tests. In one case of neurotic behavior, that much of society is appallingly accepting as ‘the new normal,’ a woman on vacation took about eight covid tests before and during her flight from Chicago to Iceland. She told CNN she “took two PCR tests and about five rapid tests, all of which came back negative.” She then took another test on her flight, after feeling soreness in her throat, and tested positive, proceeding to isolate herself in an airplane bathroom for the remaining 3 hours of the flight. CNN painted her as noble, noting that she was “fully vaccinated* and boosted.” Of course the disgraceful outlet didn’t discuss how that represented a clear failure of the genetic vaccines, or the dubious nature of such test results. CNN also wrapped up the story with a fluffy conclusion, praising a flight attendant who brought her refreshments, and the staff of the hotel in Iceland, where she subsequently quarantined (like a low-security prison inmate), writing up the whole ordeal as necessary and heroic on the parts of all involved. It’s totally demented, but I’d expect nothing less from CNN.

As a further indictment of the potential for unrecognized danger in a chemical, peer-reviewed research published by the National Institute of Health [NIH] shockingly found pesticide formulations having up to 10,000 times the toxicity level of their active components alone. The combinations of ingredients in the formulations drastically increased the toxicity of the active components. A similar phenomenon could happen in medical devices such as covid test swabs, in which materials could interact with ethylene oxide and render it far more toxic than ethylene oxide alone, which is already toxic enough for concern.

Covid testing is problematic for society in several ways. It is mentally unhealthy, and it exposes people to the dangerous compound ethylene oxide [ETO]. The tests also promote the extension of a declared emergency that infringes upon our constitutional rights, and is used to generate profit for some businesses and government entities, at the expense of the majority of the population.
