The issue if that the PCR test as currently run does not tell if a positive result is dead, alive, or even the Wuhan flu.
With the cuttent CT number a papay, a goat,and coke have elicited a positive test.

The issue also is that the PTB have designated a positive test as a CASE. In medicine traditionally a CASE is a sick person and that is how the PTB refer to a CASE. The number of cases has been used to create a panic / pandemic / casedemic.

If you want a better way do it the old fashioned way.

“If you want a better way do it the old fashioned way.”

You assume that the conventional MDs who post here are principled, objective, open-minded, interested in truth. That is just not my experience with conventional MDs. I’ll never forget when we interviewed my son’s Pediatrician, and I asked him what form the vitamin K shot for newborns came in. He had no clue - just injects newborns with the K1 shot “because it is their practice”. Just hemmed a bit and then looked it up...then told us we should just trust our pediatrician. Ummm, no. He did end up working with us on the vaccine issue though.

I know of people who have been fired as adults from their family MD because they questioned being put on prescribed Pharma. Those MDs presumably were not accustomed to being questioned by lay people, and did not like being exposed as nothing more than a prescription writer with a medical diploma on the wall.

Not all conventional medicine is bad. I would not want to go anywhere else for trauma care. But for immunity, illness and chronic-type stuff? No thanks.

"the PCR test as currently run does not tell if a positive result is dead, alive, or even the Wuhan flu."

You're correct that the RT-PCR test does not distinguish between active and inactive virions (as a virus does not meet the criteria for being "alive"). However, you're incorrect to say that it doesn't tell you whether it's SARS-CoV-2. It does, when run properly. The test triggers off genetic sequences only found in SARS-CoV-2. They're literally the sequences that make SARS-CoV-2 SARS-CoV-2 and not something else (like SARS-CoV-1 or MERS-CoV).

"The issue also is that the PTB have designated a positive test as a CASE. In medicine traditionally a CASE is a sick person and that is how the PTB refer to a CASE."

What constitutes a "case" for any particular illness varies from disease to disease. Always has. Take a look at the CDC's Principles of Epidemiology in Public Health Practice. This is decades-old stuff. Here is a WHO document outlining case definitions for several diseases. Each has its own individual criteria. This is how everything works.

The case definition for SARS-CoV-2 is actually a bit more complicated than "did they have a test?" That criteria is listed here. It includes criteria to distinguish between a new case and an existing case and a laboratory test is not the be-all end-all of the case definition.

"If you want a better way do it the old fashioned way."

This IS the "old fashioned way". You define the criteria for the specific disease and apply it consistently. That's how it's worked for decades.
