90% of Positive COVID-19 Tests Should Be Negative
The scam has been revealed: over-sensitized tests are inflating the numbers of cases, which is what drives policy decisions and headlines, whereas the reality is most (90%) of those cases are marked positive because the PCR testing being used is amplifiying genetic matter for the virus over many more than a normal amount of cycles than is necessary to determine contagion, which is producing positive results in samples that are otherwise have insignificant prevalence of the virus.
