🚨What happened to the FLU in 2020-2021 ?

One answer may lie in the COVID-19 PCR test itself.

This PCR test from Roche is used at our Level 1 Hospital for admission of all patients.

It tests for COVID-19 & Influenza A+B.

How big a deal is this? 🧐

Let's dig in! 🧵 ImageImage
Roche has been one of the earliest and most commonly used manufacturers of COVID PCR testing.

It took quite a bit of digging to find the actual documentation for this test.

This is the insert for multiplex assay that tests for CoV-2, Flu A, and Flu B:

pim-eservices.roche.com/eLD/api/downlo…
Let's break down this test result:

When you open up the lab result on the EMR, all you see is what is on the TOP LEFT corner:

CoV-2 detected, Influenza A/B NOT detected.

But, if you open up the commentary for "Not Detected"

You realize it is a little bit more messy... Image
What does this mean?

If this test DETECTS CoV-2

the testing protocol ASSUMES ("negative results...considered presumptive") that Influenza A/B is NOT DETECTED.

You read that right.

Just think about that for a second.

Question is, WHY?!

Well, let's dig into the documentation Image
If we look at PAGE 24 of the insert from Roche (link above)

"studies showed that SARS-CoV-2 virus...can inhibit the DETECTION AND AMPLIFICATION of influenza A and influenza B virus RNA...and may lead to FALSE NEGATIVE INFLUENZA virus results" Image
Think about this for a second:

-East Coast Major Metro
-Level 1 Trauma center
-Using this test for all patients coming through it!

No wonder influenza was nowhere to be seen.

The question is, how many other tests have the same limitation?
Summary:

RT-PCR multiplex CoV-2 & Flu A/B assay

CANNOT detect Influenza IF CoV-2 RNA is Detected!

Sound familiar? It should...

"CDC encourages...adoption of a method that can [differentiate] CoV-2 and Influenza viruses"

@Parsifaler @RobertKennedyJr @RWMaloneMD @barnes_law Image
I've been trying to dig into some of the other test manufacturers.

They do not mention this limitation.

What they all mention is the "Limit of detection" (lowest detected quantity of RNA)

In ALL tests, it's order of magnitude lower for CoV-2 than for Flu. Read: more sensitive!
Pair the very low LOD with the high amplification cycles adopted by the CDC, and introduced by Drosten's PCR protocol via the WHO...

You get ridiculously high CoV-2 false positives AND muted incidence of influenza.

More on that in a future thread... ImageImage
For a more thorough analysis of the 2020-2021 Influenza season and how the testing protocols play into the RECORD LOW numbers...

Whenever you hear someone talk about new drugs & "stronger" immune response, there are a few things you need to consider.

Don't buy into the hype.

Let me explain. Image
For the most part, "immune response" is measured by antibody titre against a specific antigen.

Thus, when the above article makes a claim about a "better response"...what they are saying is:

Our product produced HIGHER levels of antibody against the tested antigen. Image
This is good, right?

Not necessarily.

First, it could be that Moderna's product has a large antigen load...and thus generates a higher antibody response.

Very likely, since these mRNA products use the host cell to reproduce - with MANY consequences.

The list grows by the day

In 2021, I warned people that the mechanism by which the covid vaccines work could lead to autoimmune reactions.

At the time, people were just concerned about myocarditis.

But, there is no reason why it couldn't impact other parts of the body.

Let's dive in... Image
First, we should address HOW they cause autoimmune reactions.

The nature of our immune system in combination with the delivery method of the mRNA-lipid nanoparticles are the key.

A brief excerpt from an article I wrote describes the steps.

The final step is critical: Image
Before your body was injected, your healthy cells had no impact.

After the injection, these normal cells are now recognized by the immune system to harbor a foreign invader.

So, the immune system starts to attack.

This is the definition of an autoimmune response.

✍️ The Problem with Gene-based Injections

Mask mandates are already well underway, and will soon result in coercive vaccinations.

But, if you didn't catch it the first time around...let's review why you should NOT comply.

🧵 Image
The cellular environment is incredibly complex and dynamic. It is arrogant to think we can interfere, with little consequence.

I wrote about long-term health consequences, that are now being addressed .

To understand the concerns, I take a first principle approach. Image
When the injections initially rolled out, almost everyone blissfully accepted them 'safe & effective'

By this time, it was clear who could NOT be trusted:

• CDC & FDA
• NIH & NIAID
• Big Pharma
• Anthony Fauci

Then, how could we make an informed decision?

Everywhere we look, we keep hearing about rising rates of illness, excess mortality, "turbo" cancer, and chronic disease.

But, why?

Several factors likely contribute, including the impact of changes implemented over the last few years.

It is certainly true that many of the recent changes to our living circumstances will have negative impact on our health and contribute to rising rates of illness.

However, many hesitate to put any blame on the covid jabs...since it was administered to anyone with a pulse.
The question is: HOW and WHY would the covid jab cause chronic disease and rising cancer rates.

The answer lies in the patent for the Spike Protein. Image

Why statins or lipid lowering drugs are attacking the body rather than solving the problem:

Atherosclerosis and coronary artery disease are due to TWO complementary phenomena:

1) Elements of your life (many in your control) are damaging your arteries, leading to inflammation.
2) Your body is responding by repair.

In the process it lays down some fat.

Necessary to healing, because we are made of fat and protein.

Every function tissue from:

Static non-regenerative brain

Constantly replenished flowing blood

Has fat in it.

Critical for repair.
However, the more you expose yourself to these inflammatory agents, you promote this cycle of damage + repair.

And the walls start to remodel and thicken.

And you get atherosclerosis.

Then, a stroke or heart attack can be brought on by simple dehydration or a cold.

Top Tip:

If you are ever concerned about a treatment option, one of my favorite statistics is...

NNT = Number-needed-to-treat

The NNT tells us how many people need to receive this treatment, for just ONE person to achieve the desired outcome...
For example:

The NNT high blood pressure to prevent 1 death = 125 people for 5 years!

Meaning: you need to treat 125 people with prescription drugs for 5 years to prevent 1 death.

But there's more.

The often ignored cousin of NNT

NNH = Number-needed-to-harm
Similarly, NNH tells us how many people need to be given a treatment option to harm 1 person.

To continue with high blood pressure, the NNH is 10.

1 in 10 experienced some side effect resulting in stopping the medication.
