from the article above in Organic Consumers Association, January 2021:

2. Did You Know that a positive test result doesn’t mean you are infected?

• PCR tests have a high false positive rate when used with a high cycle threshold.

• PCR testing cannot distinguish between the identification of genetic material from a “live” SARS-COV-2 virus vs. the genetic material from a dead (noninfectious) virus

• A positive SARS-COV-2 PCR test result cannot be used to measure the ‘viral load’ in the body.

• A positive SARS-COV-2 PCR test also cannot be used to explain whether a sufficient “viral load” is present for the virus to be transmitted from one person to the other.

• PCR testing cannot be used to definitively identify whether the SARS-COV-2 virus, or other viruses and bacteria, is the cause for a person’s symptoms.
