In its conclusion, the court wrote that:<\/p>\n<p>\u201c\u2026 if someone is tested by PCR as positive when a threshold of 35 cycles or higher is used (as is the rule in most laboratories in Europe and the U.S.), the probability that said person is infected is less than 3%, and the probability that said result is a false positive is 97%.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>In other words, people who get tested with a PCR test will more than likely receive an inaccurate result, usually a false positive.
