By the way, one of the common tests, the PCR test, is not actually approved for diagnostics, it only has an emergency use authorization, so just as well you said no HH.
Glimlis, you have to ask who they are testing. Early on everyone admitted to the hospital was tested for covid, so of course many people who died where known to have it, even if it wasn't the cause of death. Now I've heard from a medical technician that they have had to alter the testing process, making it less sensitive, or every vaccinated person would come out positive. At my former college they said they would waive the testing requirement for people who turned in vaccination cards. This means that in the vaccine experiment, only the control group is monitored, which is ludacris by any scientific standard. That means that there would be no way of actually learning how effective the drug is.
My point is you have to ask how the data is collected and what data is collected.
Last point, The typical home made cotton mask is not NIOSH approved and there is immense quantities of conflicting studies about their efficacy, so we don't really know if they work. Some one just posted this week about a former member here who was killed by the mask.
