“if someone is tested by PCR as positive when a threshold of 35 cycles or higher is used (as is the rule in most laboratories in Europe and the US), the probability that said person is infected is less than 3%, and the probability that said result is a false positive is 97%.”

Interesting quote from the court but does not accurately reflect the study findings. Someone with active infection could be negative by culture. Culture positivity may be a better indicator of infectiousness, but that is not what the quioe says…

@Hamletintaiwan

As far as I know you exchanged one word in this whole ramble of yours and that is infected instead of infectious.

Dear Cake
You posted exactly the same faulty claim in another thread and I replied to you the quotation above, but you never bothered to respond. However you just keep copying your faulty claims.
What is really up with you?
May I ask this question in a direct manner?
If it hurts your feelings or violates any of the rules, I apologize!
