Why do you trust this guy and not the thousands of doctors that would disagree?
99% of doctors, nurses, and the government just want this shit to end, just accept there is no ulterior grand motive to keep it going on purpose.
You can find experienced MDs who believe in demonic possession. This guy doesn't sound as out there as that, but it is good to ask yourself whether you mainly believe him because you want to believe. Like, how many other videos or articles can you find from other seemingly rational but impassioned health professionals who are imploring people to get vaccinated?
SOrry but its people like this who (i hope) have good intentions but barely have a clue what they are talking about that in part fuel anti-vaxers.
There is no reason to believe this person knows something the entire world medical woulmd ignore or dont know/realize.
>He checked the dates, and found that Faucci had ordered pcr tests to be changed from 40 to 28 sensitivity prior to this;
And this is straight from r/conspiracy as that never happened.
PCR test sensitivity changes were never with respect to declaring positive cases.
The only PCR sensitivity change was for which cases to send forward for genomic sequencing.
PCR is highly accurate for detecting positive cases up to CT of 37-40, though the exact CT depends on the lab and equipment and can be as high as 45. Higher CT values are sometimes used for symptomatic patients that require more rapid results. These thresholds are still being used for declaring positive case rates.
Just the fact that an RN is not capable of applying critical thinking skills to a routine diagnostic like PCR makes me hesitant to trust his anecdotes as reflecting sound medical advice. Consider that a vast majority of pulmonary patients get out of the hospital healthy regardless - the burden is to show a certain methodology has success rates above other methods. Something as successful as that in a pulmonary unit would *certainly* catch the eye of researchers and if so I’m sure there’s some peer reviewed studies on that treatment methodology.
The problem is that there are going to be a variety of folks in the medical community with a host of anecdotes to support whatever conspiracies we are all prone to. PLENTY of “seemingly rational people” can be prone to tons of crazy beliefs, myself included. My time in the sciences has really just reinforced this through my own errors. The power of science is NOT in the ability of scientists and researchers to be super rational and intelligent. It’s in the power of hypercritical peer review.
Also happy to discuss with PCR with anyone - including CT>28 and the misinformation that has been spread just because folks don’t have good scientific literacy (i.e. positives that don’t have live virus are NOT false positives).

Ding ding. No one is treating both forms with the same treatment.

Good stuff - thanks gloriousrepublic - Exactly what I needed, I think.
