This episode covers how a negative PCR test can serve as a marker for systemic inflammation and spike protein toxicity, creating a widely exploited statistical anomaly to make misleading claims about hospitalization.

I consider this the absolute most important topic of our decade: the core anomaly in COVID data that is exploited worldwide to claim the vaccines are protecting against hospitalization among those who get COVID, yet which is at complete odds with the CDC data showing the majority of people hospitalized for COVID-like illness are vaccinated and that the vast majority of them test negative.

"COVID-like illness" refers to the signs and symptoms of COVID, regardless of the results of a PCR test.

While the clinical fate of PCR-negative COVID-like illness is completely unclear, we cannot just ignore it.

In fact, recent evidence suggests that as much as 69% of PCR-negative COVID-like illness might be genuine COVID.

Zooming out to capture the total COVID-like illlness, the "Hospitalization Paradox" refers to the fact that the vaccines do not protect against it at all. When the vaccines have high efficacy against a negative test, all they do is make ill people test negative. In contexts where they have sub-par efficacy against a negative test — the Johnson and Johnson trial, after 3 months of being vaccinated with no booster, and in the face of increasingly vaccine-resistant variants like delta and omicron — suddenly they appear to have efficacy against hospitalization, but only among vaccinated people who test positive. The vaccinated people who test negative, by contrast, wind up in the hospital with PCR-negative COVID-like illness.

In this very extensively documented article, I argue that this can be explained by the negative test, during the waning phase, becoming a marker of vaccine-induced systemic inflammation and the persistence of spike protein in the body, contributing to acute and cumulative spike protein toxicity and possibly spike-induced autoimmunity.
