Original Note:
Mullis didn't say anything about qPCR testing. He didn't say that above 20 cycles would result in false positives False positives are in fact very rare indeed. Less than 0.005% of test results are false positive https://www.ons.gov.uk/peoplepopulationandcommunity/healthandsocialcare/conditionsanddiseases/bulletins/coronaviruscovid19infectionsurveypilot/10march2023#test-sensitivity-and-specificityhttps://www.ons.gov.uk/peoplepopulationandcommunity/healthandsocialcare/conditionsanddiseases/bulletins/coronaviruscovid19infectionsurveypilot/10march2023#test-sensitivity-and-specificity
