And when they want the results for the vaccine they lower the cycles. It is complete madness.

A small but important correction: they will lower the number of cycles that counts as a positive (or increase the threshold value). Easy to do, too: in an update to the protocol, add a statement along the lines of: "due to revision to procedures, Ct value of 20 counts as positive, as opposed to 25 in earlier version." Or, hell, just put in on the instructions of the newly distributed kits.
