They do know that mike and that is why they are using them. It is fear porn to get everyone to take the experimental biological agent jab. Even the guy who invented the PCR test has said it should not be used for testing covid19. I saw a new study out of a university in Spain that tested a Pfizer shot and found it contains 99% graphene oxide. A known poison. They have sucured more vials and are now testing the contents

PCR tests are worthless. They produce a very high percentage of false positive results. MINSA SHOULD KNOW THAT.
