I hope all will turn out good for you, and wishing you the best of luck.
> they came back saying there were proteins present.
I think probably there is a bit of a Chinese whisper kind of misunderstanding here. Your blood will contain proteins. It must. Everyone's blood does. For example hemoglobin is a type of protein which makes your red blood cells able to carry oxygen.
What they probably told you is that they found the wrong quantity or the wrong kind of proteins.
I believed it was based on false negatives in previous PCR tests?
It's also a question of understanding what the test actually means. The test doesn't (and can't) claim "this patient is cured" but only "when analyzing this specific sample taken from this patient, no significant trace of virus could be confirmed."
> more than 80k confirmed cases world wide, and two with a secondary infection.
We should talk about the test error intervals.
With that small amount of secondary cases, maybe it was a false positive the first time. No procedure is 100% failsafe and this is a price that we pay for being in the real world. Maybe the test was not applied correctly, was not stored accurately or was triggered by some artifact.
> I haven’t had my B6 levels tested in the last few days because it’s in the last few days
I was asking if you had your B6 levels tested ever, not in the last few days.
You’re reading what I wrote much more dramatically than it is implied. The fact you think I am really telling you to run out right now and get your B6 tested is distorted.
> If you do get a positive reading, I would suggest having someone else try with the same kind of test with their feces to be sure it isn’t a false positive. Weird shit happens.
> I also wonder about whether getting people to have a fraudulent medical test (which might cause some amount of pain or anxiety, especially for people who are afraid of needles) could have been a cognizable harm
If I remember right one of the witnesses was a woman who got a false-positive HIV test result, so they probably went for that angle.
Not only are there hundreds of doctors in the US who inject disinfectant into people to treat viruses already, there are medical textbooks about it and even an academy for certifying medical practitioners:
(Technically they advocate taking blood from people, infusing it with disinfectant, and then injecting the infused blood back into people, but close enough.)
I don't know to what extent it's safe or effective, but hundreds of thousands of people have done it without dying at this point and many of them credit it for having healed various problems, so that's something.
> and it was bad enough that the testing company lost their contract (whether they were fudging numbers or not is debatable, I can't find any good information on it either)
Ah yea. That happened in California and Florida for sure, probably other places too. In Florida there were two labs specially that were reporting 100% positive for weeks, I don’t care how badly they had it, that wasn’t actually possible.
You probably had it, my personal experience was I got it early and aside from two days of flu symptoms it was gone. Didn’t know until I gave blood months later and had positive antibodies.
They diluted the blood. They couldn't possibly be correct.
