Took my son for a rapid Covid test at our doctors office in AZ ( a negative test is mandatory for where we are flying to for Thanksgiving with family). Surprisingly he tested positive. No symptoms. No contact with Covid potentials. Doctor said false positives are extremely rare but I pushed immediately for a second test and doctor agreed. Second test 15 min later was negative. Doctor Was nice but said positive still trumps a negative so we had to quarantine ( no school, no Thanksgiving trip, school told his entire class they can’t return to school for 2 weeks) Exactly one day later I fight with the doctors office to allow us to take another test - which yields....a negative result again. Nurse says was a false positive, all clear and Just like that, we can now go on our trip and back to school immediately. I wonder how many others get the “asymptomatic covid” that are actually the “very rare” false positive but never challenge the results?
Faulty Covid results!
😷 LOCKDOWN BS 😷

False positives aren't even remotely rare. That's why I think everyone should avoid taking those tests completely, unless perhaps it's "required" like in your instance.
Libtards get tested all the time. As soon as they think they might have been exposed. Test.
I don't think every asshole should be able to just go get a test when they don't have any symptoms at all...
especially when frankly there is a lot of doubt about the veracity of the results.
