Here We Go Again, Researchers for Authoritarians Claim Trained Dogs Can Sniff Out Covid-19 Infections with 94% accuracy

From [HERE] Dogs have smell receptors up to 10,000 times more powerful and accurate than humans. That allows certain trained dogs to sniff out diseases like cancer, malaria and viral infections.

Now, according to German researchers, trained dogs can sniff out coronavirus infections.

A new study, which was piloted by the University of Veterinary Medicine Hannover, the Hannover Medical School and the German Armed Forces found that, if properly trained, dogs were able to discriminate between human saliva samples infected with SARS-CoV-2 and non-infected samples with a 94% success rate overall. 

The hope is this method of detection could be one day be used [on black & brown people] in public areas such as airports, sporting events and other mass gatherings (in addition to laboratory testing) to [niggerize them] help prevent future Covid-19 outbreaks, according to researchers. [MORE]

In reality dogs are used by government authorities to niggerize and harm Black and Brown people. WP writer Christy Lopex explains that ‘the US has a long history of racialized used of canine violence, from dogs used to hunt fleeing enslaved people and terrorize civil rights protesters, through the present day. Racial and ethnic disparities in police dog bites persist over time and across the country. Canine force reviews, like the decades-long examination of the Los Angeles Sheriff’s Department, consistently show disparities; during one six-month period, their canines bit only black and Latinx people. In a nine-year nationwide study of emergency room visits for police K-9 bites, 42 percent of the approximately 33,000 bite victims were black.’

Lopez explains, ‘the extent to which we have normalized — and subsidized — police departments’ use of dogs to attack human beings should be chilling. The fact that we fawn over those same dogs at community events — without a thought of whose bodies those dogs have bitten — should be more chilling still. The “criminal apprehension” dogs used to find and bite whomever the police tell them to need to be part of the national conversation about ending unnecessary force. Police canines are bred and trained to ensure that their bite is far more severe than a normal dog bite. The pressure from a police canine bite has been likened by one court to the force of being run over by a car. For decades, the canine-industry contended that police dogs usually cause only minor injuries and bite for 10 to 15 seconds. That is bullshit. The era of body cams and cellphone recordings shows they often bite for much longer and cause significant injury.

Unlike normal dogs, police canines are trained to bite hard, use all their teeth and bite multiple times. Studies have found that over 3,500 police canine bitesannually result in emergency room visits, and that canine force results in a higher proportion of hospital visitations than any other type of police force. On rare occasions, police canines have killed people, including a suspected burglar, a likely trespasser and a homeless woman.

This level of violence cannot be justified by the threat posed. Police dogs routinely use force that unquestionably would be unlawful if used directly by a police officer. The dogs are overwhelmingly set on people suspected of crimes like burglary, car theft, trespassing, traffic violations or “fleeing” from the police, and often used during political protests and immigration raids.

Police canines also inevitably make mistakes, attacking innocent bystanders and their own handlers. A Justice Department attorney investigating the New Orleans Police Department observed a police dog bite its handler twice within a few hours. Canines also do not always stop biting even when ordered to do so. Indeed, at least one canine-industry certification standard passes a dog even if it re-bites and has to be ordered to stop four times. By the way, certification is not universally required.’
