"PCR is a pack of lies because it gives false positives...how can someone deny this truth?"

With facts? RT-PCR does not give "false positives". It does give a lot of false negatives, particularly early on after infection. False negative rate is ~100% on day 1 of infection. It's ~67% by day 4 after infection. ~21% false negative rate after symptoms begin. There are limitations with RT-PCR, but false positives are not an issue. The specificity for RT-PCR and specifically for the SARS-CoV-2 testing makes that all but impossible.

The RT-PCR test for COVID-19 determines whether you have SARS-CoV-2 genetic material present at the site of testing. It does so with very high specificity. It is not a test which is designed to tell you how many virions are present in the whole body. It is it not a test that tells you whether the individual's genetics and physiology will result in symptoms - severe or otherwise - from the COVID-19 infection. Its one and only purpose is to determine whether RNA which is only found in SARS-CoV-2 is present at the sample collection point. It does that job well.
