Don't worry everyone.

The FDA and USDA are "experts".

They have a bunch of those covid test kits left over that they are going to use to test the cows. Every cow will be positive, every cow that is shipped to a different state will be confiscated and slaughtered.

Remember a few years ago that one prime minister that tested a goat and a mango and they came back positive for covid and was ringing the alarm bells about it in the media, and then suddenly was assassinated and replaced by a different person?

I haven't heard of this, but was it the PCR, or the rapid test? I did hear stories about people finding out how to create false positives to get out of work/school, but it only worked on the rapid test.

The PCR.

Here's the reuters "fact check" article that attempts to dispute it but actually verifies everything I said: https://www.reuters.com/article/idUSKBN2442HH/

However, it was President John Magufuli of Tanzania who dismissed coronavirus test kits used in his country as faulty on May 3, 2020 (here), because he said they had returned positive results on samples taken from a goat and a pawpaw. Magufuli has been in office since 2015 and on June 16, 2020, dissolved parliament ahead of elections in October, in which he will seek re-election (here , here ).

President John Magufuli of Tanzania Died 17 March 2021 (aged 61)

So he died 10 months after he made the big media fuss about it.

And it's been fact checked!✅

  • Trust the science!

It's all just a coincidence! How comforting we can trust the coincidence theorists telling us nothing is wrong. /s

The president of Zambia did not refuse the vaccines, and died at age 97 of pneumonia. The president of Tanzania died of a heart condition. The president of Haiti was assassinated, but did not refuse the vaccinations.

Seems pretty reasonable tho

Magufuli promoted COVID-19 misinformation and misinformation related to vaccination during the pandemic in Tanzania.[16][13] Magufuli spoke against the possibility of closing churches, stating: "That's where there is true healing. Corona is the devil and it cannot survive in the body of Jesus," reported The Economist in March 2020.[14]

Hmm... I am skeptical, and would want to do some independent trials to verify. I don't feel confident with his credibility. ( would want to do that with anyone, though.) Has anybody followed up on this?

Lol yeah I mean the guy was not a genius, but he was pointing out the PCR tests were broken and didn't work, which was absolutely true and needed pointing out.

I found this article on the false positive issues with PCR: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC7850182/

It's a bit hard to understand fully. There were only 31 tests analyzed, and I don't see a definite root cause, and confidence value from such a small data set would be small.

His death is framed as an assassination related to his findings, and everything is unverified, and all conjecture. Stuff like this is concerning, because people use it as ammunition to fuel conspiracy theories, or not take precautions or safety seriously, often fueled by political pundits who want to stir the pot.

The timing is just very coincidential, and the PCR tests are indeed highly flawed and should not be used as a diagnosis tool, as the PCR creator Tracy Mullis pointed out repeatedly
