No Swab Saliva Covid alternative test required for pandemic measures

CMA must be updated to allow alternative non-invasive diagnostic tests.

The pandemic is more than a year old and there are non-invasive diagnostic tests have been discovered that are not being given Conditional Marketing Authorisation. EU citizens are not being offered a choice, which violates their right to disagree, right to a different opinion and freedom of choice.

There is a non-invasive Rapid test called a No-swab ‘spit-in-a-pot-saliva test alternative which needs Conditional Marketing Authorisation.

It is urgent that the cancer-risk nasopharyngeal invasive diagnostic rapid test with possible complications has a non-invasive alternative for people

Some EU member countries, like Cyprus, are mandating either an invasive rapid test or a clinical trial vaccine that both come with short-term and long-term risks with no other safe non-invasive choice as an alternative.

The nasopharyngeal rapid test packaging states the following: [STERILE | EO]. This means that the swab inside the package is sterilised with Ethylene Oxide gas.

There are proven safety concerns regarding the Ethylene Oxide going into a persons body from:

-Frequent use of Ethylene Oxide because it is required twice-weekly every 72 hours in EU member country Cyprus.

-Long-term use of twice-weekly amounts of Ethylene Oxide over a year.

-The amount of Ethylene Oxide on rapid test swabs.

According to this website, Quote:<<Trace levels of EO and ethylene chlorohydrin (ECH) may remain on products after an EO sterilization process. ISO10993-7 outlines the specific limits of EO and ECH that must not be exceeded in order to ensure product and patient safety.>>

According to the United States Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) website, Quote: << Evidence in humans indicates that long-term exposure to ethylene oxide increases the risk of cancers of the white blood cells, including non-Hodgkin lymphoma, myeloma, and lymphocytic leukemia. Studies also show that long-term exposure to ethylene oxide increases the risk of breast cancer in females.>>

I would also like to mention that these rapid tests severely burn my nose and I require treatment and there is no spit-in-a-tube ‘No-swab’ saliva COVID tests alternative offered that is not invasive, harmful or potentially dangerous to health.

The first time my nose burned for three days and I did smell some kind of substance in my nose. The second time the substance smelled much stronger and my nose burned for 5 days and crusted.

This proves that the traces of ethylene oxide differ from batch to batch. Sometimes there is a lot more than other times. Each country cannot be trusted to keep an eye on the trace safety levels of ethylene oxide. Especially a high-corruption risk government like Cyprus.

EU citizens in Cyprus must take two nasal or pharyngeal rapid tests a week to access education or work and it is highly concerning that the frequent exposure to ethylene oxide  been proven to cause white blood cell cancer.

A non-invasive rapid test alternative must be made available if Rapid tests are mandated so as not to endanger the short-term or long-term health of citizens who have concerns regarding the safety of EO or the actual process of an invasive diagnostic procedure that enters their body.

Secondly, based on all this information, as an EU citizen I would also like online easy access to the data and evidence that each EU member country has for their authorised rapid test on an official EU website regarding:

1. ISO10993-7 outlines the specific limits of EO and ECH that must not be exceeded in order to ensure product and patient safety.

2. That rapid tests that the trace levels of EO and ethylene chlorohydrin (ECH) that may remain on the swab after an EO sterilization process does not exceed the specific limits of the outlines that ensure product and patient safety when used every 72 hours for an entire year as it is being forced onto EU citizens in Cyprus.

3. That rapid tests that the trace levels of EO and ethylene chlorohydrin (ECH) that may remain on the swab after an EO sterilization process does not exceed the specific limits of the outlines that ensure product and patient safety when used every 72 hours for an entire year as it is being forced onto children and adults in Cyprus.

Thirdly, each EU member country must base their measures on real statistics. For example, Cyprus has draconian measures for a measley 100 positive cases which comes to 0.08% of the population. An EU statistics body is required to ensure unnecessary measures are not unfairly in place by a high corruption-risk national government when the statistics do not warrant such draconian disproportionate measures.

There also needs to be an official EU statistics-to-measures tier chart with proportional measures based on the statistics of the population of individual EU member countries so that corrupt governments cannot abuse and destroy EU citizens for their personal gain or incompetent decisions.
