‘Sir, we have the results of your DNA test. It’s negative.’ Now, I’m not saying the new COVID tests are DNA tests. (I know analogies sometimes confuse folk around here.) But it’s plain that not all medical tests are restricted to just a single ‘negative or positive’ result rather than providing differentiations.

More like a partisan shill (in a great many of his posts). And he posts a great deal of things on various topics that are misleading or blatantly false. But at least he understands that the CDC didn’t ‘revoke’ the PCR test, which is CDC approved until next year. But he says the CDC is lying about tests that differentiate COVID from the flu. It’s great that there will be better tests available, but I would rather false positive results over lots of false negative results anyway. It would be horrible if lots of people got false negative results, then visit grandma for the last time.

It hasn’t been ‘revoked’. That’s just nonsense wording from the conspiracy nutter site. Better tests are now available that can test for multiple conditions. It’s not that difficult to understand. You don’t need to look for monsters under the bed.

Yeah, total coincidence that the site you linked was already known for conspiracy theories. Not to mention that the testing method hasn't been 'silently revoked' at all, but instead the CDC has given several months notice that the test won't be available as of next year.

Another ‘high quality’ source there 🤦♂️
The text quoted from the CDC says that due to the withdrawal of the RT-PCR testing method (which only detects COVID), different testing methods are to be used, and it is preferred that the alternative chosen be one that detects and differentiates both COVID and flu (as opposed to another testing method that only detects COVID). The CDC did not say the RT-PCR method was withdrawn because it ‘can’t differentiate COVID from the flu’. Rather, it is being withdrawn because they aren’t renewing their FDA exemption for the testing method. Once again, a dishonest conspiracy nutter site misrepresents what a legitimate source said.

Can a person order a free bible through the JWs?
by jwundubbed ini was researching the easiest bible to read (which the jw bible is not) and the best way to buy one online at low cost and it got me thinking.
the jw.org is doing videos and has a website.
have they joined the order-online phenomenon that is going on in the world today?

jwundubbed:
and that has what to do with my question? It isn't even in the same ballpark.
Though intended humorously 🙄 it is indeed directly related to your question as the option I gave you is the only form of online communication that they provide. (Of course they also welcome donations, but that doesn’t include any option to order anything.) If you really wanted a physical Bible from them, you could then ask for a printed Bible from the local person who contacts you. Alternatively, you could get the phone number for a Kingdom Hall and ask them. 🤦♂️

Ralph Walls implausible 2021 Convention field service story
by RULES & REGULATIONS inanother implausible field service story told by ralph walls at the 2021 convention.
get ready for this unrealistic, stupid, dull and boring, made up fiction that is presented at this assembly.. some years ago ( tells a story but doesn't know exact date ), a brother ( doesn't give his name ) in mexico ( doesn't name the town) from the rurals, dressed in a very simple garb ( to show he was not showy ) knocked at the door of a palatial mansion.
( a very rich ''worldly'' person must live here ).

This sounds like one of those generic Protestant preaching tales - like the one about the lady who preaches to someone dangerous but he doesn’t attack her because of ‘the men (angels) standing behind her’, or the more generic ones about someone praying just before preachers of denomination xyz just happen to turn up.

Yes, because their core business is administering vaccines. Everyone says that VAERS doesn’t verify the reports.
So you take a small part of the source material that you like, ignore the rest, and then run with the garbage interpretations from fringe nonsense sites.

Anony Mous:
Ah, so if you don’t agree with analysis of the data (which you can do yourself) it must be pseudoscientific.
No, the reputation of the ('childrenshealthdefense') site was already established prior to the article you're referencing.
This is the degree of quality reporting we're dealing with from that site (from the page you linked, for their 'weekly summary'):
It also says:14,003 total adverse events, including 866 rated as serious and 14 reported deaths. Two of the nine deaths were suicides.
The average age of death was 75.
Though this shows that the majority of people who die after a vaccine are elderly (and therefore considerably more likely to have died from other causes), the reporting is still inaccurate, because the data linked does not indicate 75 as the average age, but says 35.8% of the people who died were 75 or older, and only 2.85% were under 45 (with the age of a further 37.72% not reported).
