Your own post says the false positive rate is 5-10%.

Using the worst case of 10%, the probability of two consecutive false positives is 0.1 * 0.1 = 0.01, or 1%.

So, you are disagreeing with YOURSELF.

You're counting a positive as someone who isn't sick, doesn't have symptoms and isn't contagious. The US test is 32x more sensitive than even the test used as the standard in the research above. ie - it's complete horseshit.

Read your own posting. I quoted it directly, and explained a simple statistical calculation that most high school students can do.

You can try to dissemble as much as you want, but it won’t change what you wrote. Either you were wrong then, or you are wrong now. You can’t have it both ways.
