Especially when they're testing it outside the perimeter of accuracy.

Cycle ran up to 42 or 45 and it should not be past 35 cycles.

The man that created it never intended it for this use as not only are they using it wrong but it will show up the common cold as a positive, as it's a relation to the covid 19 strain.

Someone who has a common cold should be at home self isolating though, or getting a test, not flying between two countries.

This has been debunked. Stop spreading misinformation.

No it hasn't, the HSE under freedom of information requested was stating that the cycle is up to 45....

The more it goes over 35 then it's less accurate.

Common cold does show up as positive.

Have you a link to the FoI request?

The whole point of having a test is to create an extra layer of difficulty/ expense for those wanting to travel. You could just stop flying over and back. Taking a PCR test doesn't mean you're immune to the virus.

With the cost of a round-trip already through the roof it is not something I do for the fun of it.

Total misinformation.

The instruments that they run this test on have been testing for stuff like HPV, HIV etc for years. I used to work on Taqman, LC and Ampliprep and was also a senior engineer for Hamilton working in NAP on MicroLab Star and Starlet.

Kari Mullis only came up with idea of PCR process (manual and clunky) he worked for Cetus who refined it and then sold it to Roche who then developed automated instrumentation. His "invention" was like many inventions limited until it was developed into something better by someone else, Cetus only paid Mullis a $10,000 bonus so he was very bitter considering they sold it for $300m

The success of Cetus allegedly drove Mullis to drugs and the whole Japan thing and he was also a HIV/AIDS denier so quoting him as the inventor only makes me laugh at you.


The tests does the full cycle 45 because it has to due to the QCs, but that doesn't mean anything. There is a setting called a CCO or the cycle cut-off and its like a filter. You can filter out anything above a specified Ct as negative. If you know what you are doing this whole dead virus crap is not an issue, its only used by virus deniers and flat earthers or simply the Chromosomally challenged as part of their dumb narrative.

I already cleared that up here https://www.boards.ie/vbulletin/showpost.php?p=115152557&postcount=185

Also the common cold has a completely different genetic sequence to SARS2 it cant possibly trigger a positive as the various primer combinations would never match.

The regulations around pcr negative pretest before flights to Ireland are only as effective as the policing of them.

We all know what a farce the policing of self isolation was.
