It seems you want audited results that there is fraud in the system


Sure, I want proof of what you're claiming.

Apparently that makes me some lib autist though.

The article is about a nurse being told she has COVID-19 with no proof of it.


why do y'all keep saying this?

Between the CT scan results indicating the virus' effect on her lungs and other lab results, Valentine said Varon told her he was certain she had COVID-19


it appears they ran other tests that demonstrated results consistent with COVID

or do y'all believe the swab tests are literally the only way to tell?

it's her words
So you don't believe her when she says the doc is certain it's covid? Interesting. Now we have a story about a nurse who may or may not have covid because we can't trust her or the test, but she's 24 and took up a hospital bed. Good enough reason for CNN to run with it, I suppose.

CNN with front page news about a false negative but not a word about the thousands of false positives. Nurses all over America have been sending in empty q-tips that come back positive. Labs in Florida were reporting 100% positives.

Not a word from CNN until something fits their narrative.

Dr. who lied about Covid

quote:

Dr. Joseph Fair appeared on NBC and the Today Show nearly a dozen times in May during the height of the coronavirus pandemic in the United States.

Dr. Fair appeared in a hospital bed fighting off the disease with oxygen tubes in his nose when he appeared on NBC.


quote:

I n one segment Dr. Joseph Fair told the Today hosts, “If it can take me down, it can take anybody.”


quote:

An NBC medical expert who was brought on air nearly a dozen times to detail his struggle with COVID-19 never had the virus, he revealed this week.

After believing he had the coronavirus in spite of getting negative tests, virologist and NBC News science contributor Dr. Joseph Fair tweeted Tuesday that he had tested negative for the antibodies and that the illness that hospitalized him in May “remains an undiagnosed mystery.”

FDA warns BD test 3% false positive

In a letter to healthcare professionals, the agency said 3% of results in one study run by the company were false positives. BD received emergency use authorization from FDA in April following a study that found the test concurred with expected results 100% of the time.

The OP is literally a story of a negative test but the doc still calling it 100% covid. Why would he do that? For shits and giggles?


You should Google false negative.

Let us know what it says.

Right. He told the patient they had COVID-19, and then did nothing about it. The hospital is just eating all that extra cost to treat the virus, rather than reporting a COVID-19 case, that you keep talking about out of the goodness of their hearts. Because, you know, hospitals aren’t about making money and all that.

She tested negative multiple times, from swabs and blood tests....

She looks like a chubby girl who could suck a golf ball through a garden hose and got sick trolling for dick at the bar.

The ones that are also consistent with the flu?

So it’s cool to call it COVID-19 without proof of it? Makes sense.

They believe it's all a hoax, and anything alluding to the virus is an elaborate fraud. Not much different than flat earthers tbh.

If that's all they did to come to diagnosis I might agree with you.

Not sure if you're sarcastic here, but this is kinda what I'm getting at. This is clearly a "it doesn't just affect old people" type article that is very vague with the specifics on purpose, ie "she said the doctor said" instead of "Dr so and so diagnosed her."

CT scans and labs, things that see your bodies current state


There are no other tests for covid, friend. She didnt/doesnt have it, which is why the science of the tests keep saying she doesnt have it

The skepticism because of the lack of proof that it isn’t COVID-19 outweighs the actual proof that it isn’t.

Because of this, you have to assume it is Covid-19. You know, because of the lack of proof that it isn’t.
