With this type of test, there is no agreed-upon standard by the federal or state governments as to what the maximum cycle threshold of a given machine should be. The CDC says it should be 33, Dr. Fauci says it should be 35. In the absence of any clear unified standard, it’s highly likely that the states have simply left their thermocyclers set at the factory default of 40 to 45 cycles. This default setting would lead to a high percentage of positives results, or, in others words, positive test results for patients who have already recovered from the virus and are not able to infect others.

It became apparent even to the WHO that worldwide tests were too sensitive.

In early December 2020, the World Health Organization sent out an advisory that said that the cycle threshold needed to be manually adjusted to prevent the overstating positive COVID-19 test results.

“Users of RT-PCR reagents should read the IFU carefully to determine if manual adjustment of the PCR positivity threshold is necessary to account for any background noise which may lead to a specimen with a high cycle threshold (Ct) value result being interpreted as a positive result,” read the advisory.

This is after nine months of these tests detecting the dead virus in people who have already recovered. The reports of these ‘cases,’ which were conflated with active, contagious carriers, led public health and government officials to grossly overstate the number of COVID cases and set policies about business lockdowns, school closures, quarantines, and mandatory mask orders. Patients who tested positive were never told what the Ct value was for their tests and therefore had no idea in what stage they might be regarding the infection. A low Ct means a full-blown COVID infection with a high viral load; anything above a 33 Ct probably means the test has detected the dead virus after recovery.

To make matters worse, state or federal health officials did know what the Ct value was in individual test results. The only thing reported is the actual result. To give you an idea of what a Ct value translates to, think on this. A Ct of 12 has 10 million times as much viral genetic material in the sample as one with a Ct value of 35, which was still being reported as a positive for COVID infection.
