It was only a matter of time.

WebMD reported today that China is now using anal swabs to test for Covid-19.

They have not abandoned testing in the throat and nose, but this adds to the repertoire of testing methods.

The report says this new testing is only being used for select groups, mostly those that are “high-risk” and/or quarantined.

Some passengers traveling to Beijing have already been subjected to this type of testing. A group of over 1,000 schoolchildren and teachers were tested as well.

WebMD says this testing is limited due to being very invasive and inconvenient. If a stool sample is not providable, a saline-coated cotton swab that is 1-2 inches in length, is inserted, and then tested for traces of the virus.

Deputy director of the respiratory and infectious diseases department at Beijing Youan Hospital, Li Tongzeng, said that these swabs are more accurate than the familiar nose and throat test method.

According to him, the virus lives longer in excrement or the anus than in the respiratory tract.

Future Medicine conducted a study in the summer of last year to see if the anal swabs are more accurate. The study showed that some patients tested negative for the virus in throat and spit, but tested positive with the rectum testing.

We propose anal swabs as the potentially optimal specimen for SARS-CoV-2 detection for evaluation of hospital discharge of COVID-19 patients.

Some scientists oppose this method, however.

A pathologist at Wuhan University, Yang Zhanqiu, says the nasal and throat are still more effective because the virus is contracted through the respiratory system, not the digestive system.

There have been cases concerning the coronavirus testing positive in a patient’s excrement, but no evidence has suggested it had been transmitted through one’s digestive system.

[20] O Timothy, keep that which is committed to thy trust, avoiding profane and vain babblings, and oppositions of science falsely so called: [21] Which some professing have erred concerning the faith. Grace be with thee. Amen.

1 Timothy 6:20-21

I think the nonsense speaks for itself. These mad scientists and witchdoctors are just poking and prodding people like cattle!

The WinePress has documented that the CDC admits that the tests are faulty because they openly admit to not isolating it. So it is not surprising someone’s bum tests positive, along with a cup of Coca-Cola and Chinese ice cream.

Give it some time and this methodology will be adopted in America and elsewhere around the world. Just sick.
