The current corona virus test has an accuracy problem.

ALL current coronavirus tests have a predictive value positive AND a predictive value negative problem.

They were rushed into production and then scaled up extremely quickly. They are pretty much usable only to spot trends in groups, and are much less accurate for individual diagnosis.

True. They have gotten a lot better quite quickly. But, really, what does a test for any virus really do? Whether HIV, Herpes (HSV1, HSV2, Shingles, ChickenPox) a confirmed positive merely contributes to data for public policy and reaffirm to the infected to do what they should have been doing to begin with. I see so many people "wanting the test" because they are "wanting to know" if they have/had it. They want to know if they are part of the club, and/or they want to know if they "really" need to quarantine/isolate as recommended. I'm afraid that false negatives will only embolden those seeking a reprieve. Much like what a clear STD test does...it typically leads to riskier behavior.

Is everyone just a robot repeating what they hear.. Go research yourself..

No Virus, Fungus or Bacteria has built up a resistance to Iodine yet.. a Mineral.
Used 150 years ago .. Iodine Vapors cured the worst Influenzas cases. I have a link to the book on it.

Use in a Nebulizer, with Hydrogen Peroxide.. to coat the lung mucus do the virus can not attach.

Iodine feeds the brain, thyroid, immunity and sex organs.

What is your Union and Doctors actually doing for you?

Shhh you're destroying the Industrial Medical Complex. All these big companies are in bed with Big Tech pushing the vaccine. The Left is too shallow to see how the whole thing's a money grab.
