Yesterday, the Daily Sceptic published an article that is surely the bellwether for our times (and if you don't know your bellwether from your church steeple, then this is for you!).

This is at the very root of so much nonsense in today's world that one might readily despair, and yet ... we have come so far already that maybe, just maybe, such despair may just be premature.

What do you think?

What will you be doing about it?

We can all do something ... however small and apparently insignificant. And yet nothing is insignificant.

 

 

Testititis Rampant

The last real epidemic of testing was unleashed on the world with the Covid pandemic. The PCR test "gold standard" was rolled out everywhere (to be followed by other more simplified tests later on) but the PCR "gold standard" required samples invasively acquired on the end of a very long "cotton bud" pushed up the nose, which then had to be sent off to a laboratory for PCR processing.

It always struck me as unnecessarily unpleasant, though there is no doubt that it was effective even if the laboratories had been set up in huge haste and those who manned them could have had only rudimentary training. Still, at 45 PCR cycles, success was pretty much guaranteed.

Although strangely, there didn't seem to be any data about the rate of false results that could be expected, which is pretty important if we want accurate diagnoses.

Nevertheless, quite aside from pandemics, medical practitioners make considerable use of diagnostic testings of various types, from infections to cancers, from blood pressure to bone density, so clearly they find these tests useful. They are an important weapon in their never ending fight against ill health.

This is one of the most comprehensive articles I have seen about the usefulness of medical tests, and I can wholeheartedly recommend it.

There's no easy way to put this.

But it's important. It's also very logical.

It suggests that a slow (to allow the liver to deal with the toxins as they are released) but methodical detox may be all that is required, provided that the treatment hasn't completely destroyed the bone marrow.

Make of it what you will.

Is "the Blob" capable of facing and correcting its own egregious errors?

I'm not holding my breath.

It will be up to parents and guardians to break the news as gently as possible to their offspring, and to explain how it came about. There's plenty of ideas on this site ... and plenty to challenge those "little grey cells" that now have a critical job to do.

And there's no time like the present. Indeed, its the only time we ever have.

Amir Tsarfati is a Christian Israeli who is now caught up in the war with Iran.

So this is an unofficial view.

Make of it what you will.
