Про ПЦР-"тестирование"

...Furthermore, in order to examine this genetic material, the test  “amplifies” it. An amplification cycle means they start with a probe  that matches the snippet of DNA or RNA they are looking for. Then,  because this is too small to detect, they repeatedly double the  snippets. If the sample changes the color of a solution, the test is  considered positive. If you do too few amplification cycles, you never  find the snippet, resulting in a false negative. If you do too many  amplification cycles, you find the snippet too often because the test  also amplifies the background genetic snippets (“noise”). These are  false positives.

One can therefore manipulate the amplification  cycles to get whatever result one wants. Too few cycles and everyone  tests negative; too many cycles and most test positive.

Бизнес-идея

“Great sums were dedicated to finding viral causes and one-drug-fits-all cures, all following a familiar playbook:

inventing  the risk of a disastrous epidemic, incriminating an elusive pathogen,  ignoring alternative toxic causes, manipulating epidemiology with  non-verifiable numbers to maximize the false perception of an imminent  catastrophe, and promising salvation with vaccines. This guarantees  large financial returns. But how is it possible to achieve all of this?  Simply by relying on the most powerful activator of human  decision-making process—FEAR!“

Вирусолог (тот самый Стефан Ланка) выделил вирус из водорослей, и  оказалось, что те водоросли, в которых был вирус - были намного здоровее  тех водорослей, в которых вируса не было.
