I'll start with: I am pro vaccine, pro scientific method, pro empiricism. I am, however, vehemently against turning the entire population into unwitting guinea pigs for power and money hungry degenerates.

Covid:

Tests not capable of differentiating Covid, influenza, etc.(Journal of Infection)

What the authorities are talking about and why some tests were withdrawn is a fact that early tests were not multiplexed, which means that they cannot determine if you have a flu

I have no idea about your level of biological science sophistication, so I don't know if you are simply ignorant or willfully distort the facts.

Ironic statement, given you've claimed I was wrong and then paraphrased my point to disprove me.

Please stop posting opus size anti-vax propaganda on WO (it's not a right place)...and get vaccinated for crying out loud.
..and, don't kid yourself, you are NOT pro-vaccine and pro scientific method, you are far away from both.

You are doing precisely what I asserted in my closing remarks. You fling around emotional, illogical dribble and ad hominems.

I have all the usual vaccines, as well as degrees in mathematics and mathematical statistics.
As such, I am more qualified to quantify and analyze any potential issues arising than a biologist or doctor based on the available data.
In fact, statisticians are the ones who tell the medical professions which of their experiments are safe and effective.

So kindly take your arrogance and fuck right off you anti-science cultist.

There is nothing in your writing to indicate that you are a scientist of any sort...well, maybe an alt-scientist, perhaps.
When testing for covid only, you typically don't care about a flu.
You presented this as some kind of weakness, which it is not based on initial objectives (to see if patient is covid positive or not).
That's the typical problem with alts. You latch on something, then twist it until it is the opposite of actual truth. This is a fact, i have one friend who went completely wacko with all these alt theories-to me it is a mind virus of sorts. Be well and try to recover from it.

So far you have done absolutely nothing but confirm my last remark.

And you have most certainly failed to give any sensible hypothesis as to why anyone should get "vaccinated" with a novel treatment with zero long-term data that is clearly failing to contain the virus.

Cherry picking one point and completely failing to make any semblance of a case for your delusional position certainly isn't even within the same realm as "actual truth" or science.

With a disease that has symptoms so similar to the flu it doesn't make sense not to have very rigorous testing procedures in place before calling out debilitating lockdowns (and that's ignoring the fact that lockdowns do not work).

But let's falsely assume that you've got a hit here. Then you still almost certainly have no semblance of a case, given that your apparently strongest argument fails to provide any.
