False.
The RT-PCR test triggers off specific genetic sequences only found in SARS-CoV-2.
And SARS-CoV-2 is as similar to Influenza virus as humans are to snails. In other words, other than both being viruses, they’re as different as they can possibly be. Not even the same phylum.
That being true how come the inventor of the RT-PCR test said it cannot distinguish? Was he lying? Why would he do that, if it worked?
How come only 700 people died of Influenza last year when the normal number is something like 20,000?
