I had covid two weeks ago and tested positive for COVID at CVS.
The next Saturday (after 5 days of no symptoms) I tested again at CVS. Did not touch the swab to my nose, did not breathe on the swab or make contact with it in any way.
It came back positive.
Isn’t the PCR test the one that can’t even tell the difference between covid and the flu?
BTW, the benefits to Hospitals are very real. Read this article:
There are probably lots of hospitals keeping in COVID wards patients who are not sick. Even the NIH had to admit that 40% of their supposed COVID patients were admitted to the hospital for something else. See here:
Does this mean that 40% of the diagnosed cases in the U.S. could be false? Makes one wonder...
A neighbor of mine who works in the Healthcare field shared with me a test performed by administers of this process.
The staffers administering the tests chose to submit testing swabs which had not even been used in actual testing. They then filled out the forms with ficticious name and data. The test came back positive.
You bet your donkey!
Ya think?! Geez, welcome to the party, pal.
Wen you pay for something (like the FedGov does) - guess what? You get more of it./
“It’s tempting to believe they’re doing this because there are financial benefits associated with COVID patients.”
That is the understatement of the year. Unbelievably, we have a number of PCR test defenders on this forum. The CDC itself is withdrawing it’s own PCR only testing protocol after the first of the year and is now “encouraging” labs to test for the flu concurrently when PCR tests are done. This is being done because millions of people who were told that that they had Covid who actually had the flu.
The question in my mind is why is the CDC waiting until after the first of the year? A high percentage of people who believe they have naturally acquired immunity from having Covid actually do not. They were quarantined and given inappropriate treatment. When it killed them their deaths were called Covid deaths and the hospitals received approximately an additional $35,000 of government blood money. The lies keep compounding and complicating the situation. There is no doubt that this crap has largely been about politics and money and not public health.
Interestingly, your article is about false positives and includes the claim that the PCR tests are inaccurate.
This claim is, however, based upon a link that doesn’t address false positives but instead talks about false negatives. Even so, the false negatives are only in the brief period of about five days following disclosure. IOW, the linked article doesn’t support the article’s claim.
“It’s tempting to believe they’re doing this because there are financial benefits associated with COVID patients.”
ABSOLUTELY!
