:: Your statement (https://freerepublic.com/focus/chat/3920274/posts?page=10#10) was that the RT-PCR test for COVID-19 is not specific to SARS-CoV-2 and can’t distinguish between it and other coronaviruses. ::

Equivocation and a lie.

My ASSERTION was the PCR test (NOT the RT-PCR test) “was not specific to COVID-19”.

I will overlook your bald-faced mis-quote as an attempt to “bolster your position and undermine my position”.
A devious and disgusting device of rhetoric.

Next lame assertion?

"My ASSERTION was the PCR test (NOT the RT-PCR test) “was not specific to COVID-19”."

PCR is the same thing as RT-PCR. It's just shorter. You don't seem to understand what the tests are, what they test for, how they work, nor even what they're called. Yet you make these wild (false) statements about what they can and cannot do.
