covid tests are notoriously unreliable. some studies show pcr (polymerase chain reaction) tests to give 50 – 60% false positives.
that is, out of 100 persons with positive results, only 40 or 50 are, in fact, infected.
the inventor who developed the pcr test has said repeatedly that it was not intended as a diagnostic test, and is ill-suited for such use. the media, of course, didn’t give his statements much air time.
