As for the first part, I can’t find any “Dr. Derick Knauss” anywhere, and the only reference to “Dr. Dereck Knauss” I can find is on conspiracy theory websites. No professional presence anywhere on the Internet. No personal presence. No social media. Far as I can tell, this person doesn’t even exist. If we can clear that part up, I’d be happy to look more into those claims, but so far it doesn’t even look like the claims are from a real person.

As for the second part, that’s exactly what I said: the RT-PCR test looks for the specific sequences of genetic code only ever found in SARS-CoV-2. It’s literally triggering on the genetic sequences that differentiate SARS-CoV-2 from all other viruses. Which is precisely why it can’t be triggered by other viruses, even if they’re similar (and Influenza is not similar).

And the RT-PCR test also does not test for viral load. That isn’t its purpose. No one has ever claimed otherwise. It tests for the presence of SARS-CoV-2 at the point of collection (typically the nasal cavity, sometimes the throat, and if you’re in China, your backside).

Of course.
It’s always a conspiracy theory.
And none of those 94% of CDC-reported covid deaths had anything to do with the 2.3 (on average) comorbidities that were facts.
It’s just a conspiracy theory.

Wait, maybe the idea that it’s a conspiracy theory is a conspiracy theory.

And maybe you were for Astra-Zeneca before you were against Astra-Zeneca.

Wow, it’s easy to play this game.
