She's my Governor and may she should know about NNLX technology?
Should the PCR Test be Used to Drive Policy?
In the words of the late Dr. Kary Mullis, the PCR test’s designer, “Anyone can test positive for practically anything with a PCR test, if you run it long enough.” Dr. Mullis was a strong advocate against using the PCR test as a means of diagnostics because cycle thresholds above 30 are unreliable.
Additionally, he warned that we should never use this technique for diagnosis due to the complexity of the process and due to a relatively high rate of false positive results when administered to asymptomatic individuals.29
Using the PCR test as a sole indicator of infection is ineffective and unreliable at determining COVID-19 policy for Oregon. We are losing jobs, livelihoods, and children due to an alarming increase in suicide rates.30,31
Knowing what you now do about PCR tests, do you think it is reasonable or responsible for Oregon’s Governor to use data produced with flawed tests when dictating public health, business, and lockdown policies?
