How to beat Theranos at their M.I.C. agenda game The key to understanding what Theranos is REALLY all about is the "fear of needles" phrase that shows up EVERWHERE in regard to the esteemed, humble, hard working, lover of humanity, youngest billionaire on the Forbes list, Ms. Holmes.
They KNOW people generally are not too fond of needles. They will claim that it's just another silly "conspiracy theory" that they are working for the police state M.I.C.
They will claim that they have no interest in your blood data, and if they did, the government already can get that data from any and all labs in the country using the "Patriot" Act.
Yeah, that is true. BUT Theranos,
unlike all blood labs, is going to use a finger lancet device to get your blood for all of its tests (
except for the urinalysis, of course - which they also offer - gotta make everything look above board, ya know!).
Now suppose I was a Monsanto/CDC/M.I.C. Dr. Strangelove that wanted to INJECT people with a sleeper nano-agent that could be activated with some aerosol in the atmosphere (
later on) to produce certain physical effects or mental dysfunction on those injected on cue?
What would I do to make up a reasonable excuse to introduce the agent into a person's blood stream?Well, any medical doctor knows that any break in the skin,
no matter how tiny (see tsetse flies and mosquito disease vectors)
can permit a serious invasion of our cardiovascular system and compromise our immune system.
Said Dr. Strangelove might "patent" a handy dandy FINGER LANCET DEVICE that ACTUALLY has it's tip laced with the nano-sleeper bio-agent. Of course I would have to sell people on the idea that NEEDLES are a BAD thing and PEOPLE ARE AFRAID OF THEM, would I not? So how would I do THAT without bad mouthing the medical establishment that relies 24/7 on the use of needles?
Why, I would cleverly and disinenuously claim the FOUNDER OF THE CORPORATION IS AFRAID OF NEEDLES!
HOW do you test Aglebert's wild "conspiracy theory"? Well, when you walk in to Walgreens to save a bundle on your blood tests with Theranos "miracle microfluidic technology", BRING YOUR OWN FINGER LANCET DEVICE
.
If the attendant claims that will "not do" because antiseptic conditions cannot be "guaranteed" and shows you their neato finger lancet wrapped in air tight clear plastic (
for your health and benefit - not to keep a nano-agent viable, of course ), I suggest you pull out
the other finger lancet device (that you purchased earlier somewhere else) that is
also wrapped in plastic to see their reaction...
There are lots of lancet devices on the market. This is just one of several.
For diabetics, there is even a laser device that DOES NOT break the skin that measures your glucose levels.
If they have no issues, then my conspiracy theory is baloney. But if they refuse to allow you to lance your finger with your device, then I suggest you connect all the M.I.C. propaganda and skullduggery DOTS in the "fear of Needles" phrase dog and pony show AND THEN make an excuse to get TF out of there, pronto.
Have a nice day.
Theranos is NOT about Therapy plus diagnostics
