PCR Expert: UK’s Testing System is a Mess, Monopolising PCR For Covid is Killing People and We Should Follow in Florida’s Footsteps
We’re publishing an interview today with Kevin McKernan, a PCR expert. He is the Chief Scientific Officer and founder of US company Medicinal Genomics, the former CSO of Courtagen Life Sciences Inc and former Vice President and Director of R&D of Life Technologies. He was also the President and CSO of Agencourt Personal Genomics, a start-up company he co-founded in 2005 to invent revolutionary sequencing technologies that dropped the cost of sequencing a human genome from $300 million to $3,000. According to McKernan, the UK’s testing system is “a mess” and not using PCR tests to diagnose other diseases, because all the reagents are being used to diagnose Covid, is “killing people”. He also thinks the UK’s glacial reopening is “madness” and that the we should follow in the footsteps of Florida. Here he is talking about the Lighthouse Labs:
It’s pretty messy in the Lighthouse Labs. They do not have a great reputation from the people I have interacted with there. The people who push back on the PCR thing are the lab folk who say, ‘Well, we found RNA there’ – and they probably did, they’re probably right about that. But what they couldn’t sort out is whether it was infectious RNA or not and they will say, ‘Well that’s not PCR’s job, that’s not our job.’ Well, if you are calling things medical cases off a single test then it is your job to figure out whether that person needs to be quarantined.
It’s a mess and it’s very heterogeneous data, you cannot assume all of the labs are running the same protocol, so that adds further to the smoke and mirrors. That’s why I’m sceptical that the people doing this actually care. You see what’s going on and it’s clearly a mess and anyone who brings it up gets shouted at. But it’s quite clear for anyone who is in the field and not on the gravy train. And there is clear evidence that it has false negatives too, which makes the whole contract tracing stuff a mirage. There’s reports of up to 30% false negatives, where the swab just doesn’t find anything and you get nothing even though you have it. For Matt Hancock to say that it [PCR test] is rock solid, he is just a moron.
There are ways to use PCR responsibly. You either run it twice, such as day one and day two and, if your viral load is going up, you’re on the front end of the infection curve. If it’s going down, you’re clearing it. But they’re just being lazy and don’t want to do it. There is no argument they can make that they [labs] can’t run it twice. They will say it doubles the amount of testing we have to do – they just scaled up 100 fold in a year, you can’t do twice to get accurate on this? They want positivity because positivity brings in more revenue. Once you’re positive, all your family members come in for testing. So they want that bar of positivity set as low as possible so as many people get sucked into the vacuum as possible. They’re financially motivated for false positives.
The interview is by Oliver May, a staff journalist at a national newspaper group. Oliver May is a pseudonym because the journalist is concerned that if he was to disclose his identity he would get into trouble at work.

“But it’s quite clear for anyone who is in the field and not on the gravy train.”
… and that applies beyond PCR testing : to vaccine promotion, essential basic research, protective equipment manufacture etc. etc.
The laboratory field, pathology, science, etc, is as riddled with egos as any other field. It’s about personal careers, money, funding, reputations, etc, not necessarily about the public good, especially private labs. I’m not the slightest bit surprised by any of this.
It would be futile to think that any system can be perfect. But we have had vividly demonstrated the fact that almost all of our constitutional arrangements are not fit for purpose.
This is yet another area – the need to take appointment to key advisory bodies out of the hands of government. Of course that still begs questions re. the ‘How?’ – but the imbalance in current arrangements is clear to see.
It would be nice if we could read it in full, but apparently that doesn’t seem possible here.
You can find McKernan on twitter, he is well down the route of exposing the PCR sham on covid, I hope he is talking to the German lawyer.
10 reasons why I still reject these vaccines and continue to refuse to take them… 1. mRNA/DNA gene therapies are not vaccines. A vaccine by definition provides immunity to a disease. These novel new tools do not provide immunity to anything. In a best-case scenario, they merely reduce the chances of getting a severe case of SARS Cov2 if one catches it. Hence, it is a medical treatment, not a vaccine. Why should healthy people take a medical treatment for an illness they do not have? 2. Big Pharma, WEF puppet politicians, and the 99% medical systems, aided by the MSM media have joined forces to universally refer to these products as ‘vaccines’ when they are not, with the intention of manipulating people into feeling safer about undergoing these injectable treatments, because they are being deceitful. Why would you trust them? 3. The presumed benefits of these medical treatments are minimal and the Gates backed establishment acknowledges this, and is already talking about additional shots and ever-increasing numbers of new ‘vaccines’ that would be required on a regular basis to keep you ‘healthy’. If smart you should refuse to turn yourself or loved ones into chronic sickly patients needing multiple injections… Read more »
Out of interest would you have the Valvena “inactivated whole virus” such as used in flu, hep A, and polio ?
Were they tested first before being used on the general public. I understand it takes 5 to 10 years to develop a new drug or vaccine.
I’ve had the polio jab, and one flu jab. I wouldn’t have more flu jabs as it seems to make some people more vulnerable to catching it, and becomes less effective the more flu jabs you have.
Attenuated or inactive viruses are the normal way of producing vaccines, and have been around for decades with known risks, unlike the new mRNA gene therapies.
Flu jabs sound sort of frivolous. They just confuse innate immune system which is naturally designed to look after us and provide natural anti-flu protection. Flu is self-limiting anyway.
Supposed to be dead whole virus. If this is so where have Valvena got a whole virus from? Why has no-one else anywhere in the world declared they have a stock of covid19 whole virus? Could it possibly be that they have duped the UK gov into committing billions into something that will never see the light of day? Its a French company after all, even though its manufacturing base is in Livingston, the French having initially made noises have not committed.
I am not aware of a US based pharma announcing they are developing a ‘whole virus’ vaccine, strange isn’t it?
Its possible the Sanofi one based on the influenza jab might, just might be similar to tried and tested methodology, and they are testing on animals first. So its going to be a wait and see for well over a year.
Covid 19 whole virus has not been isolated. No one has it. What there is are ‘sequenced’ versions. They may or may not be the whole virus.
Good summary, Gelene. There are other issues ,like the regulators giving the pharmas a freepass to produce new injections to cover variants without going through any regulatory process. So a tweak here or there on a genetic code and a covid booster makes people infertile for instance.
So a journalist doesn’t want his name revealed for merely interviewing a scientist about science.
Down the rabbit hole. 2021.
It tells you everything you need to know…😞
And THIS is why lockdown has everything to do with vaccines.
One of the reasons that laboratories shy away from providing more than the results verbatim is that they would then be making clinical interpretations of the data, and that usually carries more liability than purely providing the results and requires them to then hire clinicians. These systems were designed to provide the results to a central medical entity who would then decide the appropriate course of action to take. It doesn’t seem that this has happened across the board. There is a legally enshrined indemnity against the clinical interpretation of test results (and I suspect the reason why lab results are being treated as clinical results) which is found in section 11 of the Coronavirus Act. (1) The appropriate authority may— (a) indemnify a person in respect of a qualifying liability incurred by the person, or (b) make arrangements for a person to be indemnified, in respect of a qualifying liability incurred by the person, by an authorised person. (2) References in this section to a qualifying liability are to a liability in tort, in respect of or consequent on death, personal injury or loss, arising out of or in connection with a breach of a duty of care owed… Read more »
I knew that Bojo was complaining that he did not earn enough money play acting the role of PM, He has so many deserted abandoned children, wives and other commitments that his support payments are bigger than his pay check even including all the backhanders and dodgy deals, and ‘donations’. Is this why BoJo is now working as a trainee in the PCR test lab (see photos above)? Is this another reason why the testing system is a mess?
And today on my radio news. The government has a plan to send EVERYBODY in the UK a “free” test pack so we can test the whole population. Are you fucking mad? What possible use is this. You have been testing 1.5 million a day and finding zero positives. Why would doing 70 million give you any further info. Its over, open the country up you useless know nothing cnut?
The “possible use” is that it adds an extra billion in debt. Bankrupting the country is the goal. Convenient side effects are that the false-positives allow them to drag it out further, the brainless sheep get it reinforced that they are at risk of death and that the government is trying to help.
The ONS and PHE won’t release details because of data protection but Gove and Bojo are happy for any number of private companies to have access to our private medical information with the vaccine passports….
Guys , this article is illuminating but the adduced response from the ONS is only partial – the full response can be read by Googling “COVID-19 PCR positive test results with Cycle Threshold” For me the key statement is as follows: remember this was September 2020 – Due to Statistical Disclosure Control, we would not be able to publish the full data set of threshold cycles for each positive case, as this would constitute personal data. Section 39 of the Statistics and Registration Service Act 2007 (SRSA) renders it an offence to disclose information held by the Statistics Board for statistical purposes that would identify an individual. This is patent self serving nonsense; any data recorded can either be redacted or anonymised to protect the individual from the SI’s quoted above or GDPR regulations. I asked the same question, with a modicum of rewording requesting all personal data be removed – a very easy task – and got this reply: this was in late January 2021 – Positive COVID-19 cases and the Cycle threshold used:Unfortunately, we do not hold information on the Cycle threshold (Ct) values of all positive case. Bold underlined italics are mine – am I going gaga or is… Read more »
