        Conspiracy theorists like @MichaelYeadon3 claim that there is something unique about Australian labs and keeps pushing his false positives nonsense. Not sure whether he makes the same claim about others, such as Taiwan and New Zealand.pic.twitter.com/vj1Is8LQgF

        It's just nonsense. The ONS, using the national testing system, had similarly low rates of positives in June/July. @MichaelYeadon3 is suggesting things that are mathematically impossible 🤷‍♂️

        Excellent piece of work and summary of facts. May I translate it in Greek and use it with reference to you of course?
