I've never known the commie Chinese to be concerned about LGBQ+ "rights", and it's not like the Tiananmen Square protests were about homers and their celebrated pastimes. The question is where did the commie chinks come up with this idea?
We all know that homerism is caused by rectal demons, and the Vatican has vested interests keeping the tradition alive. The heretic communist "pope" Bergoglio signed off allowing the commie Chinese to run the cathylick church in China, and it's likely these anal swab coronavirus tests are a ruse for planting homer rectal demons in the bums of a new generation of the young for use by the Vatican.

China rolls out anal swab coronavirus test, saying it’s more accurate than throat method

SEOUL — Months-long lockdowns. Entire city populations herded through the streets for mandatory testing. The people of China could be forgiven for thinking they had seen it all during the coronavirus pandemic.
But now they face a new indignity: the addition of anal swabs — yes, you read that right — to the testing regimen for those in quarantine.
Chinese state media outlets introduced the new protocol in recent days, prompting widespread discussion and some outrage. Some Chinese doctors say the science is there. Recovering patients, they say, have continued to test positive through samples from the lower digestive tract days after nasal and throat swabs came back negative.
Yet for many, it seemed a step too far in government intrusions after a year and counting of a dignity-eroding pandemic.
“Everyone involved will be so embarrassed,” one user in Guang*dong province said Wednesday on *Weibo, a Chinese social media platform. In a Weibo poll, 80 percent of respondents said they “could not accept” the invasive method.
Even Chinese doctors who support the new tests said the method’s inconvenience meant it made sense for use only in select groups, such as at quarantine centers.
“If we add anal swab testing, it can raise our rate of identifying infected patients,” Li Tongzeng, an infectious-disease specialist at Beijing You’an Hospital, said on state-run broadcaster CCTV on Sunday. “But of course, considering that collecting anal swabs is not as convenient as throat swabs, at the moment only key groups such as those in quarantine receive both.”
The new protocol comes just over a year after the virus began spreading rapidly in the country. Chinese officials are worried about the approach of Lunar New Year next month, often called the world’s largest annual migration. Some 3 billion trips are made over the holiday during a non-pandemic year, which means even a single silent coronavirus case could rapidly leapfrog across the nation.
. . .
China tried the testing procedure in small groups last year, with the results circulated in research journals. A group of Chinese researchers published a study in the Future Microbiology journal in August reporting that for some recovering coronavirus patients, anal swab samples still tested positive after they had tested negative through throat swabs.
“Intriguingly, SARS-CoV-2 detection was positive in the anal swab of two patients and negative in throat swab and sputum samples,” they wrote. “We propose anal swabs as the potentially optimal specimen for SARS-CoV-2 detection for evaluation of hospital discharge of covid-19 patients.”
As for how the test is conducted, the Chinese Center for Disease Control and Prevention published instructions last March. It said that a stool sample should be taken from patients, and if that is not possible, to do an anal swab by inserting a cotton-tipped stick three to five centimeters (one to two inches) into the rectum.

bless you, dear Brothers Mayor Hold and Dr. Toole, for addressing this topic of Dennis Hastert. You've reminded me of another Honorable gentleman, one that I've been meaning to ask about, and have forgotten to so do.

were not exempt from great sickness by disease of the bowels until their bowels fall out by reason of the sickness day by day (a circumstance alien to any Christian) then — rather than the swab — wouldn't it be sickness disease rectal prolapse, wives & goods & persons blasted day after day after day distressing their innards?
