False positive lateral flow tests in children double in a week
Government scientists launch investigation after almost 14,000 tests came back positive in week to Sep 22

Nothing new , it’s just the MSM are now starting to report things like this

I think you need to be careful what you eat/drink before doing an LF - lot of false positives caused by fruit drinks etc.. apparently.

Incredible to think that many of the government’s decision making has been based on inaccurate
Tests isn’t it , particularly in my case , relating to my sons missed education…. It’s been devastating as a family.

I have also heard of the reverse, neg LFT's but positive PCR's

Just keep vaccing the very vunerable and let everyone else get on with it.

A PCR test, Finds any bit of genetic material, part virus, dead or alive. Pings positive due to amplification cycles set too high. (Usually 35-45) ‘Cases’ can actually be HEALTHY people going about their business, not always sick people.
That’s probably why another poster on here stated that a PCR test can pick up RNA up to three months old.

Mystery over hopefully , I do feel we need to move to the less expensive Lateral testing now as a society for those day to day checks they have a decent success .

Incredible (although not surprising) that it wasn't noticed that this lab had atleast 10% (based on figures being quoted) lower positive results than other labs throughout September.

Still, now obviously isn't the time for enquiries into £120m being given to companies that didn't exist before 2020 and Javid was just a backbencher when these decisions were made so hohum, what can you do ?

It was never a mystery from the start though. I knew about the false positive rate on the “Gold Standard” T & T after about three weeks in. As a tax payer I find it incredible that the “casedemic” was based on this.

I think the government have spend £12bn on testing to date. Why didn’t anyone from the MSM even raise a question regarding the inaccuracies?
