Kim Kardashian is Wrong About Whole-Body CT Scans in the Exact Same Way CDC and FDA Were and Are Wrong About Non-Q PCR Testing for COVID-19
Here's a decent explanation by a licensed physician in the UK
I’ve been telling the world since April 2020 to not screen for COVID with non-quantitative PCR. We created a consortium and funded a study that demonstrated the high risk of false positives that exists with the use of PCR this way. Those who understand the principles are better offer than those who do not.
This morning, this came up in my feed. It’s the exact argument by analogy I’ve made. “This is why we don’t screen entire populations with CT scans” I’ve said. “The risk of FPs could lead to biospies and infections and more people would die from infections than would be saved by finding cancers early”, I’ve said.
“People without COVID-19 but with other respiratory illnesses, such as bacterial pneumonia will not receive proper treatment”, I’ve said.
“Most people who died from COVID-19 in the hospital on ventilators died from bacterial pneumonia” the news finally read.
Listen to this doctor lay out the same exact things I’ve railed against. Base rate fallacy.
And tell your friends and family that use of CT scans without good reason come with costs and risks to their health they don’t need.
They should watch this from two years ago, too.
Here’s an article from January 2021

A CT scan of the breast (mamogram) is equivalent to 1,000 chest X-Rays I´m told. https://www.radiologyinfo.org/en/info/safety-xray
I heard a doctor say the old weatherman who would wish Happy Birthday to centenarians probably did more to shape the expectation of people living longer than medical interventions. She discussed this whole concept of expectation and that we have many possible illnesses that will never come to fruition. As you rightfully note, this is the new PCR test to keep you in a state of fear while also, strangely enough, giving one a false sense of security.
