Targets, Targets, Targets
1 May 2020
Health Secretary of the UK, Matt Hancock announced to much media fanfare that the UK government had hit their target of sending out 100,000 tests per day. In his speech he claimed;
testing is so important...met our goal...unprecedented expansion...incredible achievement
From the recently released WhatsApp messages we see behind the scenes to how those targets were met.

Lord James Bethell (Health Minister in the House of Lords);
I spoke to Doug. (CEO of Amazon UK) He says he has some more kits he could send out on Thursday. I’ve asked
redactedif there could possibly pls be enough lab capacity to process these (that’s the bottleneck)…
Hancock;
If only 20% are being returned we can send many many many more out
Bethell;
that’s true. Since they count from the moment they’re sent…

Hancock to George Osborne (Editor of the Evening Standard);
I need to call in a favour tmrw
I currently have 22,000 spare slots at my drive thrus. Hence I’ve extended eligibilty today. Demand just isn’t there. This is obvs good news about spread of virus. But hard for my target.
So I could really do with a testing splash
Can we make this happen?
Osborne;
Yes – of course – all you need to do tomorrow is give some exclusive words to the Standard and I’ll tell the team to splash it
Hancock;
Now I’ll find out how strong the bonds of loyalty are!

1 day to target
Osborne;
You’ll make the front but not as big as 10 mins ago!
Hancock;
Fair enough!
Osborne;
And you’ll like the editorial
Hancock;
I WANT TO HIT MY TARGET!
Osborne
I gathered
Typical newspaper headline 29 April 2020
We shoud take note that George Osborne was also the former Chancellor of the Exchequer (when he “regrettably” sold the UK’s gold) and Hancock was one of his aides. Cosy relationship or what?
These messages also go to show how ministers are beholden to their targets too, one of his key performance indicators no doubt!

Who (WHO) set those targets and why?

Target day
Roche Holding AG is a German pharmaceutical company that received Emergency Use Authorisation to produce Covid 19 tests. In light of a testing shortfall in the UK the government turned to help from the German company.
Duncan Selbie (Chief Exec of Public Health England (PHE));
On the numbers for yesterday our contribution to pillar 1 was:
PHE labs 4819
Roche 13723
and on Porton serology 1072
Hancock;
Amazing. That Roche ramp is extraordinary
Sam (?);
Really amazing work everyone – well done!
The Roche ramp up is a one-off, definitely not one to inform targets in May! We used up a large amount of accumulated stock from April…

Hancock sends tweet to Osborne;
Matt Chorley on Twitter – George Osborne tells me on @TimesRadio that Major, Blair, Brown and Cameron wrote to Johnson privately in July about the need to get a grip on testing…
What was this for?
Osborne;
Trying to spread the responsibility from you to Number 10 – I’ve said it before.
Hancock;
Ok but mass testing is going v well – I fear this looks like you asked for me to be overruled…
Osborne;
No one thinks testing is going well, Matt
A Testing Time
Although it’s interesting to see the workings of the UK Health Department behind the scenes and the nature of the relationship to the press, we should put testing in it’s rightful place in the plandemic.
WHO Director Tedros told governments around the world to “test, test, test” and the RT-PCR test kit was the weapon of choice. It wasn’t a diagnostic tool, it was extremely vulnerable to human and systemic error and was incapable of identifying a “case” of Covid19. Perfect for a plandemic and creating the illusion of a pandemic.
So-called “positive” RT-PCR test results were misreported as “cases” allowing the narrative to increase case numbers whenever testing was increased. Looking for matches to the Wuhan virus 40 rounds of RT-qPCR amplification were frequently used. Too high to be of any use in identification – except for those wishing to create an impression of a pandemic.
Don’t take my word for it. Kary Mullis who won the Nobel Prize for Chemistry for his work in developing the PCR amplification technique was extremely critical of it’s use to identify any particular virus;
PCR detects a very small segment of the nucleic acid and which is part of the virus itself. The specific fragment detected is determined by the somewhat arbitrary choice of DNA primers used which become the ends of the amplified fragment.
The WHO recommended a cycle of 50 amplifications, whereas the Infectious Diseases Society of America considered the absolute threshold to be 34. A group of French scientists analysed the results from thousands of positive results. They concluded that accuracy at 25 cycles was 70%, 30 cycles was 20% and over 35 it dropped to 3%.
Even if the test accurately identified the presence of the virus, it still didn’t identify a “case”, because throughout the plandemic infections and cases were deliberately conflated. The terms Sars-Cov-2 and Covid19 were used interchangeably.
The test were absolutely part and parcel of driving the fear agenda. The more tests out there – the more reported “cases” of Covid19 the better. Well done Matt Hancock you served your masters well.
