Let's get real, let's get loud. I'm Dr. Peter McCullough.

I have a wonderful show for you. I wanted the first segment to be an academic update for you, given the rapidity of new data that's coming out in COVID-19.

The first paper I want to quote is from Joshua Gans and colleagues published in JAMA in the January 7th, 2022 issue.

Title of the paper, False Positive Results and Rapid Anagine Test for SARS-CoV-2. This is a large workplace study, 930-408.

Rapid tests were conducted. The yield of getting a positive test result was 0.15%. The number of false positives was roughly 42%.

By confirmation of PCR, no mention of clinical illness. I wanted to be aware of that one.

The next is a paper untesting from Dr. Akashi and colleagues published in JAMA February 3, 2022.

Title of the paper, SARS-CoV-2 Infections in close context of positive cases in the Olympic and Paralympic Village in the 2021 Tokyo Olympics.

They screened approximately 11,000 participants in the Olympic Village with PCR testing. The yield was 0.44% confirmed positive, no mention of clinical illness.

The last paper I want to bring to your attention is by Emily Schultz and colleagues. This was published in the February 9th, 2022 issue of JAMA Open Network.

Title of the paper, Comparison of SARS-CoV-2 Test Positivity in NCAA Division 1 student athletes versus non-athletes at 12 institutions.

Bottom line is among all student athletes, the test positivity rate was 0.44% less than 1% and for non-athletes is 0.88%.

I would say the conclusion of all three of these studies is that asymptomatic testing, which is off-label, it is not cleared for any essay by the FDA.

The FDA is not recommended as a broad measure by the CDC or the World Health Organization.

The asymptomatic testing and these three high quality papers show very low yield less than 1% and even when it is positive, it is likely to be false positive and no mention of clinical illness.

I think at this point in time, it is clear that all asymptomatic testing should be dropped and we should move on to normalcy with respect to testing.

Testing should only be done in this setting of acute illness and the indication is to use a PCR or an antigen test as a diagnostic aid in making the diagnosis of COVID-19.
