Doesn’t this confirm what Kary Mullis, the inventor of the PCR test, was telling everybody almost two years ago?
It was never meant to be used for diagnostic purposes.
Yes, but the politicians had to come out with something to maintain their image of omnipotence. Admitting they had no way to test for the virus would have ended the power grab before it ever got started.
We have been using pcr as a diagnostic test for multiple infectious agents for years. It is usually the confirmatory gold standard
“It’s [PCR] just a process that’s used to make a whole lot of something out of something. That’s what it is. It doesn’t tell you that you’re sick and it doesn’t tell you that the thing you ended up with really was going to hurt you or anything like that.”
-Kary Mullis
Kary Mullis said that (1996??) before we had the technology to accurately detect the exponential increase in DNA over time. At the time he invented PCR, no such technology existed. The way he had to “do” PCR looks nothing like it does now.
Not saying he’s dumb, but I think this quote is being taken WAY out of context.
