Even though it comes from the NYT, I’ve done my research and they appear to be right. Determining positives depends on the number of cycles in which genetic material is generated to identify viral components. There is no standard and no transparency whatsoever because the number of cycles from the PCR test isn’t disclosed on results documents. I know Saskatchewan uses 40 cycles and Quebec uses 45; most experts suggest a more accurate number to be between 30-35 cycles. So basically, the medical industry is generating false positives in order to generate more work for itself. It’s a scam now, just like it was in March.
