9/ Seeing that a covid test responds to apple sauce doesn't tell you that covid doesn't exist, or that the test is an op. It just tells you that tests need to be used in a way consistent with their design, because a test measures X which is correlated with Y IF AND ONLY IF Z.

11/ ok, this is a coherent response, and thank you for it! ...but I disagree. All tests are imperfect. No gas tank meter works in 0 g. No ammeter works under a junkyard electromagnet. It is good that tests are "defective", bc "perfect" costs $∞ https://twitter.com/poutinecurd/status/1339258041406001161 …
