Martin Krijgsman wonders on Facebook:
Why did Marion Koopmans co-design the PCR test in January, when the RIVM still denied that Corona would become a thing?
That smacks of a conspiracy
"Gaat u maar rustig slapen, alles is onder controle" zei Jaap van Dissel in februari. "Van Carnaval verwacht ik weinig tot geen problemen". Paais en vree totdat de hel losbrak in de ziekenhuizen, die meer dan 10% overcapaciteit niet konden handlen.
Yet Dissel's German counterpart Drosten and close colleague Koopmans had already been working in January to get the first Corona test protocol published (which no one else has succeeded in doing). With steam and boiling water, peer-reviewed, approved and everything. They completed a process that took weeks and in 48 hours. That design is now under fire.

Hoe wisten ze toen al dat Corona een miljardenhit zou worden? Voor sommigen is dit het "bewijs van een complot". Maar mijn idee is simpeler: dat wisten ze niet. De belangen sluipen er later vanzelf in.
Juist als de situatie in NL en DE onder controle zou blijven, waren die tests misschien zinvol geweest - mits deugdelijk ontworpen natuurlijk. Denk alleen al aan testen op Schiphol, aan de grens, bij brandhaarden, door de huisarts bij verdenking van Covid e.d. Dat business model zag er al voldoende veelbelovend uit: "Samen houden wij Corona buiten de deur!" De Chinezen testten zich gek, zeiden ze tenminste. Dus dat zou hier ook de manier worden om het virus te weren en te controleren.
Lobbyists part of customer and seller
The project therefore looked promising, especially since enough pluggers were involved to underline its importance. The lobby was available in influential places (cabinet advisors!), which increased the chance of acceptance. The idea was that testing would certainly prove useful. Win-win. A decent virologist grabs every patent he can get his hands on. This is done under the motto 'no shot is always wrong'. You'll just hit the jackpot! (think of the chilling one toast by Osterhaus if it is reported that the first infected child has been reported, swine flu.)
Number 1
Dat het zo'n enorme megahit zou worden wisten ze toen ook nog niet, maar de minister Volksgezondheid en Welzijn als voorzitter van de fanclub, wie had dat kunnen denken. Ze hebben de Jonge helemaal gek gemaakt met die PCR-tests, de arme onderwijzer schrokte gretig alles naar binnen wat de eminente professoren hem voorschotelden. Wat een verantwoordelijkheid om dat te mogen communiceren! "Testen, testen, testen, zeggen dat ze moeten luisteren, dat het van hun eigen tijd af gaat (dat snapt-ie), en dan weer testen, testen, testen... Mag het ietsje meer zijn? OK: Vaccineren, vaccineren, vaccineren..."
The PCR tests, like the face masks, are a form of psychological warfare against their own people. The doctors and politicians themselves repeatedly state this. Face masks are good, fear is better.
Effect of all that testing is 0.0. I can't think of any effect other than fear. The number of hospital admissions is indicative of the measures, not the course of 'infections' and 'positive tests'. The bad thing is, they still explain that, even to the urchins in the House of Representatives... Which newspaper would dare to stand up against this debility?
Retraction paper
The quickly produced test protocol is currently under heavy fire. A group of leading scientists has submitted a Retraction Paper. If the original article is withdrawn, the scientific basis for testing will disappear. But:
- The House of Representatives has already determined via a motion that a positive PCR test must be treated as an infection. Let those scientists fight, what do they care? There is no scientific basis for the 1.5 m - so what? Not for face masks either, right?
- Jaap van Dissel hoeft alleen maar tegen Rutte te zeggen "kan wel zijn, die retraction, maar we hebben nu eenmaal niks beters". Het parlement staat dan weer achter hem want dan kunnen ze door en worden ze in hun gelijk bevestigd. Van Haga zal wel weer sputteren maar dat doet hij altijd...
- At the same time, Virus Truth is also fighting in the judicial field. Even in the summons, the PCR event leaves no stone unturned. The judge's ruling on the PCR test will follow on December 9. The Court keeps causing disappointments, so that doesn't work out - the Power/Physician conxiet cannot be broken without a competent parliament, and that is completely lacking.
In the meantime, we are left with gas that cannot float, mouth coverings that deprive you of oxygen, a test to scare people and a vaccine in which important test phases have been skipped or shortened.
And all this for a virus with the characteristics of a severe flu and an average dying age that is above life expectancy.
