#COVID19 testing by nasal swab does NOT involve harvesting or sequencing your DNA. Seriously, it doesn't. It's an RT-PCR test that looks for #SARSCoV2 RNA sequences in the cells and mucus collected by nasal swab. This sort of misinformation is harmful. https://twitter.com/naomirwolf/status/1343311942077845505 …

Similarly, antibody testing for
#COVID19 also does NOT involve harvesting or sequencing your DNA. It involves testing your blood for the presence of antibodies against#SARSCoV2. Again,@naomirwolf should stop spreading misinformation.3 replies 10 retweets 71 likesShow this thread -
Replying to @gorskon @naomirwolf
I reported her tweet as it is dangerous and could dissuade people from getting tested. Dr. Naomi Wolf is a PhD in English language and Literature and should not be getting medical advice, especially when it’s patently false.

Replying to @DrLiver @naomirwolf
Normally, I don't object at all to people using "Dr" (e.g. Jill Biden) if they have a PhD. The sole exception is when they spread medical misinformation, as the use of "Dr." is often intended to confer an unearned legitimacy to their medical pronouncements.

Ridiculous. You did not know who Naomi Wolf is?? And you have a PhD?

I know that her PhD is not in any of the biomedical sciences, but rather in English Literature.
