If you suddenly come down with symptoms of severe acute respiratory syndrome, you will not want, nor will you need, a covid-19 test to prove it. The infection will be prevalent and you will naturally want to stay in bed and recuperate.

But common sense is no longer a virtue. Fear, panic and anticipation of sickness has become just as infectious, just as dangerous as the disease itself, driving people to line up and take invasive DNA swabs and nasal probes to see if they “have the virus.” These tests are not intended to diagnose covid-19 and they routinely give off false positives, but they continue to be the measurement to justify lock-downs and the suspension of civil liberties.

PCR tests being fraudulently and unlawfully used to suspend civil liberties and sow discord

These PCR tests for covid-19 cannot distinguish between “live” viruses and inactive (noninfectious) viral particles. These faulty instruments were never intended for diagnostic purposes and are unable to determine whether SARS-CoV-2 is the causative agent, even when clinical symptoms are present.

Symptoms such as fever, chills, sore throat, cough and loss of taste and smell can be the body’s reaction to a variety of causative agents. There are hundreds of pathogens that circulate in humans every year, and the body is always adapting to this microbial environment. The deadliest pathogens are most often acquired in hospitals; for example, drug resistant tuberculosis has claimed 4,408,519 lives since year 2000. Drug resistant streptococcus pneumoniae, Clostridium Difficile, Methicillin-Resistant Staphylococcus Aureus, vancomycin-resistant enterococcus are just a few more hospital-acquired pathogens that have killed millions of people in the 21st century. Covid-19 is one piece of a much larger puzzle, a sign that human immune systems are weak and ailing, malnourished and compromised.

No amount of diagnostic testing, separation, isolation and deprivation of rights will stop this process; therefore, testing for covid-19 is a waste of energy — a lost cause. The most important approach to facing the world is to take steps that strengthen innate immunity, using nutrition and plant-based medicines to counter viral load. After all, respiratory symptoms aren’t just caused by covid-19. They are also caused by orthomyxoviridae (which contains dozens of influenza viruses), paramyxoviridae (which contains the parainfluenza viruses), human respiratory syncytial virus (RSV), and human metapneumovirus (hMPV.) The same overlapping symptoms of covid-19 can also be caused by picornaviridae, rhinoviruses, enteroviruses (such as coxsackieviruses and many more enteroviruses), rhinovirus (including at least 100 types). Not to mention, there are various mutations of human coronaviruses already in existence including (HCoV) 229E, HCoV OC43, and severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS-CoV), along with viruses from the family Adenoviridae, and the newly discovered HCoV NL63 and HCoV HKU1, and the ssDNA virus from the family Parvoviridae.
