      So…I’ve been right the entire time…you know, doing what “journalists” largely have been afraid to do — READ. These bastards have been lying to the world for a year now. https://twitter.com/AndySwan/status/1351975650521993221 …

      That's advice on reading the PCR tests. It's pretty clear that good tests don't have a massive rate of false positives. This is pretty good proof:https://twitter.com/GidMK/status/1344811882192879616 …

      "False positives are driving the pandemic!" In NSW last week we tested 332,000 people and found 95 positive cases. If every case was a false positive (unlikely) then the false positive rate is 95/332,000 = 0.028% The "casedemic" is nonsense. It's simple maths pic.twitter.com/T0k2NXnkU0

      Oh, I’m aware of what advice that is for. We have a whole lot of people here who struggle reading these tests.

      Wait, so you're not saying there's a massive number of false positives? I'm confused what you're going for here.

      I’m saying there are indeed plenty of false positives & it is coming from directives the WHO gave about how to read prevelance in testing all year. We’ve been lied to about how to read these tests all along. I’ve been w/ Alex Berenson all along here.

      It is mathematically impossible for the test to be producing "huge numbers" of false positives
