Goofy. You show a picture of a Corona Virus, but you keep talking about Covid ? Here's another good one. Call the CDC and ask them for a sample of Covid19, they'll tell you there is none. So, if you get a vaccine....wink wink, and they tell you it's experimental and has nothing to do with Covid19, to please keep your mask on, you know you're in trouble; especially when you find out it's gene therapy. Just as well keep your Burka on and call your funeral director.
Appreciate where this video is going but let's be clear, no 'virus' is 'alive' so it cannot be true to say the pcr test is looking for a 'live' virus. Similarly, something which was never alive can not be pronounced 'dead'. Viruses hijack living cells' mechanisms to reproduce themselves...
Science has not made a definitive statement whether viruses are alive or dead. It seeks a host and replicates itself - to me that seems pretty "alive".
When they say PCR is looking for "live virus" they are incorrect anyway - PCR can only detect genetic code of a virus; it can't detect the virus itself

"Alive" or "dead" should really be termed "active" or "inactive"

SARS-CoV2 is a coronavirus. The disease it causes is called "COVID0-19".

The PCR test is not for detecting an illness.
