Leading public health experts are now concerned that overtesting is responsible for misdiagnosing a huge number of people with harmless amounts of the virus in their systems." https://townhall.com/tipsheet/brons...ovid-tests-should-have-been-negative-n2575305 https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/ar...rus-positivity-rate-high-tests-sensitive.html https://www.nytimes.com/2020/08/29/health/coronavirus-testing.html Faith in Quick Test Leads to Epidemic That Wasn’t Back in 2007, PCR Testing (most widespread test in usage by governments for CV19 throughout the pandemic) led to declaring a false epidemic. https://www.nytimes.com/2007/01/22/health/22whoop.html https://archive.is/FynT5 5/4/20 Widespread faulty tests causing even papayas and goats to test positive for CV19 https://news.sky.com/story/coronavi...-after-goat-and-papaya-test-positive-11982864 5/5/20 FDA: Makers of coronavirus antibody tests must now show tests actually work.

His invention got him the Nobel prize in chemistry in 1993. Unfortunately, Mullis passed away last year at the age of 74, but there is no doubt that the biochemist regarded the PCR as inappropriate to detect a viral infection." https://off-guardian.org/2020/06/27/covid19-pcr-tests-are-scientifically-meaningless/ CDC acknowledges mixing up Coronavirus testing data https://thehill.com/policy/healthca...coronavirus-testing-data#.XxOHA_UDwRo.twitter https://www.npr.org/sections/corona...a-could-create-misleading-picture-of-pandemic https://fox4kc.com/tracking-coronav...e-mixing-results-of-viral-and-antibody-tests/ 600,000 Mistakenly Told They’ve Had Covid by Tricare: ‘I Have NOT Been Tested’ https://www.dailywire.com/news/600000-mistakenly-told-theyve-had-covid-i-have-not-been-tested Collin County judges says there are major discrepancies between county and state COVID-19 numbers https://www.wfaa.com/article/news/h...bers/287-c0236614-155d-407d-8d73-f6182821151c Texas officials say record-high COVID-19 positivity rate was caused by coding errors, system upgrades https://www.khou.com/article/news/h...ate/287-ffc19167-0d47-4be9-8c06-8648229288ef?

Not 40. Not 30. Fewer than 20. And the European CDC warned publicly in July that any test result from over 35 cycles could be due to “contamination of reagents” - in other words, simple lab error.
