I wouldn't trust this 'doctor' with my life never mind my worse enemies childs' life. Dumbass probably puts the pcr tests into the poor kids' anal orifice and tells the parents it works better.
Don’t listen to these fear mongers who just want to keep you scared and controllable.
As long as these tests for all pcr types cost 150-300 or even 500 dollars a pop, I will never get tested regularly. You can get the rapid antigen tests but those are useless if needed as proof you are covid negative for example when taking a flight. Even the rapid ones cost a pretty penny. Just not economically friendly.
Aren't most people already vaccinated? How many people actually got sick and died from the virus. Show the data.
I've decided to not get vaxxed, not get tested and not let anyone think for me.
Atp we need to just learn to live with Covid, testing, vaccines, lockdowns, nothing’s worked we should just go back to normal
A puppet doctor payed to say whatever the pharmaceutical companies want. Gtfoh you fraud
Are they reading the memo that coming out… Vaccine doesn't work with this new virus. Barely works with Delta. Why double down on the lies.. the money is that good?
A disease so deadly you need to be tested to see if you have it.
Ooh sounds expensive Great news for the pharmaceutical companies
Viruses Typically Mutate Into Less Dangerous Variants
This all makes sense, based on what we already know about viruses. As reported by Paul Elias Alexander, Ph.D., with the Brownstone Institute:5
“The WHO has said the Omicron variant can spread more quickly than other variants. Likely true. The virus is behaving just like how viruses behave.
They are mutable and mutate, and via the Muller’s ratchet theory, we expect these to be milder and milder mutations, not more lethal ones given the pathogen seeks to infect the host and not arrive at an evolutionary dead end.
The virus will mutate downward so that it can use the host (us) to propagate itself via our cellular metabolic machinery. The Delta variant has shown us this: It is very infectious and mostly non-lethal  specially for children and healthy people …
[T]here is no reporting of increased virulence/lethality of this new Omicron variant, and this will remain the case based on what we’ve seen from Delta and prior variants. There are no guarantees, but we operate based on risk and all things point to the same for this new variant.
Just because there might be a wave in South Africa does not mean there will be waves in the U.S. or Israel or other places with greater natural immunity. This was the prize of letting people enjoy day-to-day living.
The nations that have ended lockdowns are likely to move past this new variant scare, and be fine. This is more of an overreaction by the WHO and governments and much ado about nothing.â€ÂÂ
Bullshit bullshit bullshit…
More crap and bullshit…
Test for bullshit bullshit bullshit…
More tests for more bullshit.
Idiots
Tired of "experts".
The new fortune tellers who keep getting it wrong.
If no symptoms or mild symptoms, why test? Seems to me # of infections may not be as important as covid hospitalization and death numbers. Also how many are have had vaccination, natural immunity and untaxed, comorbidities, age group. I still don't understand how specific variants are determined through what kind of procedure for testing. What % of people are tested for particular variant..Do these tests rule out cold and flu???? I think a lot of people would like know how particular variants are actually tested for.🌈🦋🌿
Damn you really want to collect those dna samples don't you wow
Dr BoyChick.
Absolutely good advice from Dr. Alok Patel of Stanford Children’s Medical Center
It's Sanjay Gupta Minny Me
HELLO DOC ALL THE NBA PLAYERS ARE TRIPPLE VAXXED YET HALF OF THE NBA PLAYERS ARE INFECTED WITH THE DELTA STRAIN .CAN YOU PLEASE TELL US WHY IF THE SO CALLED VACCINES ARE DOING THEIR JOB ???
NWO = OWN
No we need quadruple testing and 100 vaccines each year !
This is so stupid. More testing means more false positives. People have enough fear as it is. How about we distribute Ivermectin to every household??
Accidentally cut myself with a utility knife cutting sheet rock, went to the hospital for some stitches, wasn't allowed in the hospital without a mask, so I couldn't get medical treatment, my lawsuit is pending
"Lions, tigers, and bears. Oh my!" – Dorthy
Paranoia
Pcr is bullshit
Fear fear fear
I wanna see his portfolio…
Why not quadruple testing?
What we need to do is lock down high risk individuals. Follow the science. 45+
In case you haven't caught on yet, this isn't going away any more than the cold or flu. The real question is how we chose to live our lives from here on.
