With all this hyped-up business on Covid-19 and the true or faked tests....I am reminded of this terror incident in Germany from around ten to fifteen years ago.
So, in the early days of CSI-stuff in Germany....DNA tests started to get popular. They'd come to a murder scene....do the swabs, and look for evidence.
Several cases around Germany suddenly popped-up, which led to ONE single killer. This worried the police.
In one case, a break-in of a cottage had occurred, and a swab was done....showing DNA and a witness had said a person appearing to being 14 to 16 years old (a female) was there and had left. The swab test? Matched the murder count.
Suddenly, the police got all hyped-up. Teenage serial killer?
A female policeman was murdered. Swab test? Led to the same DNA.
So a task force was organized. Various murders were laid out. Timelines, locations, accomplishment, etc.
One cop looked at everything, and just said 'no'....it can't be the same person.
So he takes a couple of DNA test kits....bust them open, and swabs thin air (nothing). He sends them off. A week later, results come back....it's the phantom-killer.
He lays out the evidence. The police authorities are questioning this whole mess.
So they ask the DNA test kit company....who makes your swabs?
Well....it's a company down in Austria.
So they go drive down. Here is a rather small operation...maybe a dozen folks who prepare and make swabs in general. Here are big bulky Austrian women who are in the manufacturing process, sweaty from the summer heat and perspiration dripping a bit, and grabbing up a thousand of these swabs in their arms to throw into a bag....which goes to some company which has a secondary use for them. A swab is a swab in their mind.
The cops stand there....shaking their head. All this effort over three or four years....all leading to a phantom-killer who was branded as a 14 to 16 year old girl. All faked-up.
The DNA test kit company? No one says what happened to them, but I would guess that they folded up and went out of business.
I look at the Covid-19 testing business, and kinda wonder what kind of people run it, and their trusting nature.
