  1. 3 months ago I went to the emergency room with food poisoning. I was told I would be tested for Covid. They took blood and monitored my vitals. I was told I would be given a Covid test. After 3 hours the Doctor came in and said I was stabilizing and they would send me home. “What about the Covid test?” “Oh that’s done you were negative.” “Nobody stuck a swab up my nose?!?” “Oh we did a blood test, the PCR is highly inaccurate.”

  2. All I can say is! Brainwashed 💩💩💩

  3. Pcr isn't efficient at testing for covid.

  4. Somebody is getting rich out of all this, and it ain’t me!!

  5. It's like a volume controle knob . When it's not being heard loud enough they can turn it up

  6. This is why American people are standing up to the monsters who betray our trust and corporately owned news LIES to lead the sheep to terrify them 24/7. They destroyed lives and people are risking homelessness now with no jobs and no unemployment checks.

  7. TRUMP, WILL BE THE ONE SILENCED

  8. Well… apparently this institution doesn't have public health on their agenda.
    Basically – it can't be trusted or relied on.
    It seems it more serves the politics than public! (Looking for spitting emoji)

  9. I would buy 1000 PRIVATE rapid saliva covid home test TODAY, like pregnancy and HIV test I can do at home today.

    A pregnancy test that tells a woman she is pregnant 10months later is useless.
    A thermometer that tells me I had a fever 3 days ago is useless. A covid test that take 3 to 7 days is useless.
    Both the CDC and FDA need to explain what the delay in rapid testing was and Why there are no cheap PRIVATE test available yet? We can save lives with early testing, and early treatment.

    CDC received notification of the first case of laboratory-confirmed COVID-19 in the United States on January 22, 2020. As of today it's been slightly over 7 months and we do not have better means of testing?

  10. If I have the coronavirus and I'm asymptomatic, I would want to know so I dont infect other.

  11. Por mala fortuna muchisimas parejas piensan que pueden ser infertiles para siempre. Aunque es un poco "intenso" tal vez tambien te puede funcionar el plan de Ana Cikensel, simplemente buscalo en gooogle.

  12. the lie begins again. The theater continues with the show. The WHO is now a low-profile influencer with enormous contradictions; the globalist lie no longer has credit

  13. Bruh she really just said "can we control covid by doing less testing"

  14. 5.8M cases and 180k deaths. IE 3% death rate, with 90% of those deaths are for those over 70. Yet Democrats want to keep everything shut down and destroy JOBS and people lives. Mask up, go to work and pay your bills. Protect those over 70 and keep them safe but for the rest go about you business.

  15. The testing is unnecessary, someone must really be getting rich though.

  16. "may be considered" = mandatory and "probable cases" = everybody. How do we know they're not using those tests to infect people with Covid-19? Why not just swab the mouth if its so contagious? Why stick that swab all the back into your nasal cavity?

  17. with a 60% failure rate of these tests, what's the point? Moreover, the words "control" and "contain" are crack-induced propaganda; we are in full contagion. There's no chance "control" is possible.

  18. There are a lot of stupid people in these comments, obviously our education system needs more work to.

  19. Fake news politically-motivated garbage. You have no credibility go away

  20. Its scary that people still believe corona is still a thing they see no evil hear no evil speak no evil

  21. Natural herbs have cured so many illness that drugs and injection can’t cure. I’ve seen the great importance of natural herbs and the wonderful work they have done in people’s lives. i read people’s testimonies online on how they were cured of HERPES, HIV, diabetics etc by Dr Agbonifo herbal medicine, I contacted the doctor because i know nature has the power to heal. I was diagnosed with HSV but I have been completely cured after using Dr Agbonifo Herbal Medicine.

  22. Anything linked to Bill Gates my Family will no longer participate !!

  23. Imagine stores and company offices having facial recognition software they spent millions if not billions of dollars on, and they can't use it. And a follow up question is, imagine the theft that is going on and isn't being tracked. Do they have to wear masks at government buildings? Just a few questions.

  24. Why is the cure Hydroxychloroquine being suppressed ?

  25. Let’s go to war right now!

  26. So many people broke the spell and no longer believe fake news bs i love it. It makes me happy to see not everyone is a sheeple zombie of msm

  27. So NBC is part of the fake news network. Good to know they just lost all credibility to me.

  28. This scamdemic has an expiration date and it’s obviously November 3rd!

  29. CDC changes its mind. Shocker!
