The truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth has been the "rallying point" (or it should be) for a pillar of American society. Without that, you have the nonsense that is going on today.
Here's what you need to take to heart, PT.....the current basis used to determine infection & cure rates since this thing started has been the PRC test (current version RT-PRC). This test was developed by the late Nobel Prize winner Dr. Kary Mullis. It was incorporated by Dr. Fauci & company back in the 1980's to determine if a person had HIV, which was deemed by the medical community to cause/be a precursor to AIDS. Problem is, Mullis pointed out that his test was NOT a determiner of viral or bacterial infection in a person....IT WASN'T DESIGNED TO DO SO. Mullis spent 3 years looking for the peer reviewed, conclusive medical/scientific paper that proved HIV=AIDS. He never found it. Mullis publicly stated that Fauci didn't know what the hell he was talking about, and challenged him or any other medical scientist to a public forum/debate. No one EVER took the challenged.
Flip the script 40 years to present.
We have Fauci doing a repeat of his past performance, only this time with a different disease. Current media capability shows that this test is at best 60-40 odds against being a reliable determiner. Yet our MSM gives daily reports on "cases" of Covid BASED ON THIS FLAWED AND INACCURATE TEST. The CDC and WHO are in sync with Fauci regarding validating the use of PRC.
So if you're going to rally around something, you damned well better be sure it's a valid rallying point, and not just any port in a storm.
