The nasal swab COVID-19 tests that are still somewhat affordable give false negatives waaaaaay more than they say
I had taken one a couple weekends ago because I was feverish in a way that was familiar to me from the last time I had COVID, and it came back negative so I was OK probably just the flu. Well, my whole family caught it and it was COVID after all.
I've outsmarted scientists at their own game 20 times by now, they are no match for my inductive thinking and I don't care about boasting about this
article from 2021 about how COVID+ rate in deer is 80x more than humans: https://www.npr.org/sections/goatsandsoda/2021/11/10/1054224204/how-sars-cov-2-in-american-deer-could-alter-the-course-of-the-global-pandemic
the writers flagellate themselves over "how could deer be 80x more infected than humans?"
Common sense should tell you that deer are just bags of flesh like we are, so there's no reason for this discrepancy
then somewhere in the article it unwittingly mentions that they were testing LYMPH NODES from deer that were shot by hunters
while the human data was from NASAL SWABS
so the obvious conclusion here is that COVID sticks around in the organs much much longer than it does in the nose/throat. I suspected this in 2020 based on my symptoms and solidified it in 2021 based on this article, and it was proven in 2022
This means that the positivity rate in a geographic population is actually 80x larger than nasal swab data suggests
And yes, of course COVID-19 is an AMERICAN BIOWEAPON
