PCR Test Validity and Cary Mullis

The diagnostic validity of the PCR test is questioned, citing the intentions of its inventor, Cary Mullis, who stated it was not a diagnostic tool. Concerns are raised regarding the CDC's use of different cycle thresholds for vaccinated (35 cycles) versus unvaccinated (40-45 cycles) individuals. Critics argue these standards are designed to statistically favor vaccine efficacy by reducing positive results in the vaccinated population.

Cary Mullis on PCR, Amplification Process Limits

The late Cary Mullis, inventor of the PCR process, is quoted explaining that PCR is an amplification tool rather than a diagnostic test for illness. The process can find a single molecule of almost anything in the human body if amplified enough, leading to the argument that using it to declare someone "infected" is a scientific misuse of the technology.
