There are other more accurate Rt-Pcr tests out there that detect types of Influenza and Sars Cov2. They are just allowing the older tests to be used up as those tend to be used alongside serology tests. That doesn't sound good. So the data we have been working off of is less accurate than it could have been? Especially with recent news about breakthrough infections and deaths, accurate data.

The CDC admits that the PCR test can't tell covid from any other kind of flu and even the common cold is a corona virus. Well if the doctor that examined the patient said it was covid, and Robert who never saw the patient and lives far away says it was a common cold - take a guess who I would tend to believe. Are you suggesting the trials of boosters and/or shots from two different vaccines should be halted? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I did NOT say it couldn't be covid. Quote me where I said it could not be covid? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Especially with recent news about breakthrough infections and deaths, accurate data. Only certain medical facilities were using that test, one of many tests that were approved. Anyone that had serious covid also received serology testing as a final confirmation. We will never know the true outcome of it as there were false positives and negatives plus at the onset many never even received testing. Today's tests are highly accurate and followed up even further with genome testing to see if the virus has mutated. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As the saying goes, always consider the source. I must admit that your source is top notch. Here is what others have said about it: Quote Nature (dot com) was one of the world's most cited scientific journals by the Science Edition of the 2019 Journal Citation Reports (with an ascribed impact factor of 42.778), making it one of the world's most-read and most prestigious academic journals. I have noticed other sources you quote include the CDC site. My point is: We, the other members, do not always agree with your conclusions but we should give respect to the research you have done. It ain't just rag journals you are quoting. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Often I read that because they sometimes are late in sending in their reports the numbers more so like daily can be wrong. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
