Yesterday we shared a report from a pathologist in Connecticut. As many as 30% of the COVID19 test kits provided by the CDC are producing false results. Not a reliable test. Today, Vermont is reporting that more than 50% of a recent batch of tests produced false positives.

WCAX reports that,
About 63 people tested positive a week ago using antigen testing done at the Manchester Medical Center. That kind of testing is appealing because of the quick results, but officials have said they may not be as accurate at detecting the virus in people who aren’t showing symptoms.
We now know 33 of the 63 people with a positive antigen test have tested negative following a PCR COVID test. Two cases were confirmed positive.
That’s worse than awful.
Now, consider this. There is no “vaccine” for the flu. The Flu shot is neither a cure nor a guaranteed preventative. So let’s take that in the context of SARS CoV2.
Everyone is rushing to produce a vaccine. Teachers’ unions are refusing to go to work before we have one. The odds are good that it will not be more effective than either the tests or existing flu shots.
What then, exactly, is the point of all of this given what we know?
There is low risk to anyone under 60 with no underlying conditions, and almost no risk to healthy people under 50 (as with typical flu).
But the country is politically girded for armageddon anyway.
And people wonder why we don’t trust the government with this crap?
