Remdesivir Mortality Data, PCR False Positives

Reports from multi-hospital systems suggest an increase in mortality rates following the approval and use of Remdesivir. Additionally, a medical analysis using Bayes' Theorem indicates that PCR tests may have a false-positive rate as high as 90% in certain scenarios. This suggests that a positive test does not necessarily equate to an infectious individual.
