How to Create a False Pandemic without a Single Infection

Imagine a test for an infection that was 97% accurate. This means it generates a false positive only 3% of the time. 97% of the time it is bang on. That is pretty good for a test. So suppose we use this test on a population of 10 million. How many false positives will we get? Well, 3% of 10 million is 300,000 false positives. So there you have it. We have reached pandemic level without a single infection.

I am not saying that PCR does not detect infections, it does indeed. However I suspect that the infections being detected were really rebranded flu. Yes the PCR test will detect the presence of an infection and tail off when recovered. What I am saying is that even a tiny percentage of false positives when applied to a large population will generate a convincing appearance of a pandemic.

The epidemic was definitely test driven. They simply doubled the testing to report twice as many cases. It was basically a new version of The Emperor's New Cloths.

Yes and a simple way to prevent fake pandemics from ever happening would be to ban the mass testing of healthy people that show no symptoms of disease.
