      Recent example - the ridiculous theory that 99% of positive COVID-19 tests are false positives. All those false positives filling up hospitals and dying 🙄🙄🙄

          Don't get me started! How people with no education or training in health and statistical assessment are so sure they understand this stuff. It is painful

          It’s because they have no training in statistical assessment that they can believe it. You could very easily predict rising death numbers in Florida from case numbers this summer. If it were all fake, why do the numbers change so much?

          Wasn't there somebody famous, got tested 4 times at one day with the outcome of 2 negative and 2 positive results? How can that happen? It made a bit nervous.. Is the story true? Was it a coincidence? 50% false results would be a catastrophy!

          I don’t profess to know only that the PCR test has limitations? So do you trust the PCR test the UK Government is using then? Was it designed for something like this? Do you trust the results?

          It has worked VERY well for AIDS for decades. It isn't about "trust" as much as it it about the fact that is is very well tested. I suppy that I "trust" my chair, bit it is more that it is axiomatic to chairness that it will support me.
