You do realize that amount of bad actors required to pull of this "hoax" right? Franklin once quipped, "Three can keep a secret, if two of them are dead." The less people evolved in a conspiracy the greater chance that it will be successful.

Perhaps you believe that fear and the MSM are the puppet masters. I doubt our president would allow being played.

Why do you want to continue to push a false narrative? Oh. . .I think I know why.

IMO, this doesn't belong on this forum.

Shhhh . . . .don't interrupt their paranoid, fever dreams. Everyone is out to get them. It should be obvious to you.

If you dig just a tiny bit, you learn that this guy was the Chief Scientific Officer of the Allergy Division of Pfizer which was shut down for lack of viable research.

what i see is a brute force non-dynamic system

not a hoax

the west and America especially is really really good at brute force overwhelming-with-resources approach. steering the massive ship based on dynamic changing circumstances is hard.

This site doesn't scream "reputable." I clicked on this author and it's a bunch of conspiracies, so yeah...

He is not the chief science officer of Pfizer. That is incorrect, despite what the link claimed.

According to the Pfizer website, that is Dr Mikael Dolsten.
https://www.pfizer.com/people/leadership/executives


From what I could Google, he was a vp and chief science officer at Pfizer in an allergies and respiratory group at one point. But he was laid off around late 2010 and has worked for other companies in the field since then. Doesn't look like he was ever the company's CSO, but he was a group CSO. He seems to have relevant credentials/background so its annoying to me they inflated it.

Even if he's a complete fraud that just means he/the outlet are tied with the "real" media

So false positives didn't effect the numbers which showed cases significantly dropping over the last few weeks but they are driving this notion of a second wave? What's causing the massive uptick in "false positives" in the testing that wasn't there a few weeks/months ago?

Only thing I can think of is a change in proportion of which tests are being used. A&M athletics teams are switching from one test to another because of concerns about false positives. Given changes in testing capacity over time it shouldn't come as any surprise that false positives would be different.

That all being said, I'm highly skeptical 1) that this "second wave" at least thus far is even meaningful and 2) that it is in any significant way driven by false positives. More likely a massive increase in blanket testing of populations as schools open back up and are taking surveys by doing tests

There are some good points in the article especially with regard to current deaths, hospitalizations and ICU usage, but its a pretty bold claim to say that half of all tests or maybe even nearly all are false positives.

Not going to bother based on comments here reading the OP. But, there are reasons around the false positives, mostly due to the PCR cycles >30 being used. You think NFL and MLB have cycles that high in their testing?

The NFL had over 70 false positive test in one weekend so yeah.

Not sure why folks are continuing to laugh at "conspiracy". There is no question COVID has been handled poorly and outright overblown by the media, CDC, and politicians with an agenda. That's not even debatable at this point.

None of that is conspiracy. Just poor decisions and lack of science.

Agreed. Not some grand conspiracy, just politicians craving power and media knowing that panic sells ads. Add in the desire for most to use it to win the election and here we are.

for those that want to oppose this article or say its not reliable, just wait a few more weeks, its all coming starting with none other than the CDC saying they were all wrong on this.. there now are numerous articles and studies showing the virus is on its end stage in many many countries including the United States

way way way way too much scientific data on this virus is now out there, Covid 19 is following the path of many other influenza related viruses like the flue, the curve is the same and that curve has now past us by and we are in the end stages of virus infections, time to lift all lock downs and spread the truth about what this really is

also if there was really a "second wave" you would be seeing it across the nation in places where schools and colleges are back in session, but guess what, it isnt happening

I'm in agreement with most of this. The article doesn't due science justice. Much more credible sources to show what is happening.

yes, I couldnt agree more, there are plenty of sources including the CDC itself, and some EU Virologists that are dead nutts on how this virus has followed almost all other influenza related viruses like the flu..

conclusion. these shutdowns were media driven and should have never happened,,, WE DID NOT DO THIS for the CORONA virus in 2008....

Ever heard of the Gulf of Tonkin incident, or lack of, which propelled us into war with N. Vietnam? It would also be ironic if you were the same rojo ag who started the Spurrier to A&M rumor.
Seriously? And the Ol Ball Coach says, "hi," He is isolating in his beach house. Plays golf every other day. Jimbo offered him a position as a quality control coach, but he turned down a chance to come to Aggieland. Too many jackasses not wanting to wear masks and socially distance.

And yes. I have heard of the Gulf of Tonkin. I can't believe you would compare that incident to an all encompassing global pandemic requiring 10s of thousands of complicit participants all falling in line to destroy our our economy and bring down Orange Man.

There's a sale at HEB for aluminum foil. It's not as good as tin, but it works for hats also.

"The survival rate of COVID-19 has been upgraded since May to 99.8% of infections. This comes close to ordinary flu, the survival rate of which is 99.9%. Although COVID can have serious after-effects, so can flu or any respiratory illness. The present survival rate is far higher than initial grim guesses in March and April, cited by Dr. Anthony Fauci, of 94%, or 20 to 30 times deadlier. The Infection Fatality Rate (IFR) value accepted by Yeadon et al in the paper is .26%. The survival rate of a disease is 100% minus the IFR."

Faking a virus would be extremely difficult. Blowing an existing virus completely out of proportion is easy!
