This is lies and propaganda. The false positive rate is NOT less than 0.1%, it is about 0.8%.

That is mathematically irreconcilable with the positive rate observed in NSW Australia, which is about 1 positive for every 2,000 tests done. Even if every single test was falsely positive, the "false positive rate" cannot be higher than 0.05%

No, because you're assuming that 99.95% are true negatives. Some of those will be false negatives.

That's the false negative rate, an entirely separate issue
