[0:00](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/RcisaE6LbrdY/en/claims-about-pcr-testing-and-covid-19-case-definitions) February 2020, another thing started, and that was that there was a test, a PCR test, that was invented by Mr. Drosten, and it was accepted by WHO, and the WHO said, "Yes, when the test is positive, we have a case of COVID-19."

[0:20](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/RcisaE6LbrdY/en/claims-about-pcr-testing-and-covid-19-case-definitions?t=20) So the meaning of the word case has been changed during the data collection of an epidemic.

[0:28](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/RcisaE6LbrdY/en/claims-about-pcr-testing-and-covid-19-case-definitions?t=28) That is, from, for an epidemiologist and for everybody else, the worst thing that can happen.

[0:35](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/RcisaE6LbrdY/en/claims-about-pcr-testing-and-covid-19-case-definitions?t=35) Because I realized very quickly that it was used to define cases.

[0:41](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/RcisaE6LbrdY/en/claims-about-pcr-testing-and-covid-19-case-definitions?t=41) Cases, for us, in our language, is about patients and, and here the cases became the p- the positivity to PCR. So it... Forget about the individual. It was just a result from a technique.

[0:58](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/RcisaE6LbrdY/en/claims-about-pcr-testing-and-covid-19-case-definitions?t=58) They're now calling apples oranges, and now there are many oranges, many more than there were before.

[1:04](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/RcisaE6LbrdY/en/claims-about-pcr-testing-and-covid-19-case-definitions?t=64) Before they called apples oranges. Even the WHO agrees that, uh, that it's not enough for a PCR test, for you to test positive on a PCR test, but you need symptoms, and it's never in the history of mankind, in the, in the history of medicine,

[1:21](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/RcisaE6LbrdY/en/claims-about-pcr-testing-and-covid-19-case-definitions?t=81) there has never been testing of healthy people.

[1:24](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/RcisaE6LbrdY/en/claims-about-pcr-testing-and-covid-19-case-definitions?t=84) You should not be using this test on people without symptoms.

[1:28](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/RcisaE6LbrdY/en/claims-about-pcr-testing-and-covid-19-case-definitions?t=88) Mass testing of people without symptoms has, has no underpinning science at all. Um, and, uh, you know, it's, it's just a way of frightening people.

[1:38](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/RcisaE6LbrdY/en/claims-about-pcr-testing-and-covid-19-case-definitions?t=98) It creates the impression that something bad is happening because there are so many cases. No, there are not so many cases.

[1:46](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/RcisaE6LbrdY/en/claims-about-pcr-testing-and-covid-19-case-definitions?t=106) We have finally built this crisis with this new definition of cases based on this PCR testing.

[1:57](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/RcisaE6LbrdY/en/claims-about-pcr-testing-and-covid-19-case-definitions?t=117) And this is how they started counting the cases.

[2:00](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/RcisaE6LbrdY/en/claims-about-pcr-testing-and-covid-19-case-definitions?t=120) What they counted was the activity of testing, and the more they tested, the more cases they found.

[2:09](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/RcisaE6LbrdY/en/claims-about-pcr-testing-and-covid-19-case-definitions?t=129) $100 billion, uh, to r- roll out a nationwide testing.

[2:14](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/RcisaE6LbrdY/en/claims-about-pcr-testing-and-covid-19-case-definitions?t=134) For starters, we're at about one million tests per week.

[2:17](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/RcisaE6LbrdY/en/claims-about-pcr-testing-and-covid-19-case-definitions?t=137) How do you get to the point where there were-
