The pcr test is not designed to find viruses as per the person that invented the test. All it finds is what already exists (chromosome 8) – if you get tested you will be positive regardless……….We dont need celebrities / sports people making the case because EVERYONE knows the deal here. COVID is a scam orchestrated by the banking scum..
