Why testing is the real trap - Part 3
Testing spreads the cooties
Once a person tests positive, the obvious question is: to whom has he spread his unhygenic condition, his cooties.[mfn]”A child is said to "catch" cooties through close contact with an "infected" person.” https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cooties Not surprisingly, people at risk from the cooties can be immunized with a Cootie shot. “Typically, one child administers the "shot", using an index finger to trace circles and dots on another child's forearm while reciting the rhyme, "Circle, circle, Dot, dot, – Now you've got the cootie shot!" In some variations, a child then says, "Circle, circle, Square, square, – Now you have it everywhere!" In this case, the child receives an immunization throughout their body. These variations may continue to a final shot where the child says, "Circle, circle, Knife, knife, – Now you've got it all your life!". A number of other variations exist.” And then they feel so much better.[/mfn] That leads to Gates next goal:
“The second area where we need innovation is contact tracing. Once someone tests positive, public-health officials need to know who else that person might have infected.”
Tracing by interviewing people is not efficient and not sufficient, says Gates.
“An even better solution would be the broad, voluntary adoption of digital tools. For example, there are apps that will help you remember where you have been; if you ever test positive, you can review the history or choose to share it with whoever comes to interview you about your contacts.”
Or as in the case of the State of Israel, the public health state just knows about your contacts through your device without even asking you. This is only possible if the first person tests himself.
Exceeding the arbitrary thresholds of positive test results leads to forcible closures of schools, neighborhoods and businesses.
Testing has no influence on health outcomes
Just in case you think that perhaps you should test lest you might be sick and in need of help, a test result does not affect a person’s health or the treatment that could improve their health. If you are not feeling well, take care of yourself and if you don’t know how to take care of yourself you can ask someone who has experience. You don’t need a test for that.
