INSIGHT

PCR Test Limitations

  • COVID-19 was initially defined as a severe illness caused by the SARS-CoV-2 virus, diagnosed using PCR tests.
  • However, PCR tests only detect gene fragments, not the actual disease, leading to inflated case numbers.
INSIGHT

Not a New Virus

  • Both the SARS-CoV-2 virus and COVID-19 disease are not entirely new; coronaviruses have always coexisted with humans.
  • These viruses mutate frequently to survive, ensuring their continued transmission between hosts.
ANECDOTE

Breathalyzer Analogy

  • Bhakdi uses a breathalyzer analogy to explain PCR test sensitivity.
  • Just as a small amount of alcohol doesn't mean intoxication, small viral fragments don't equal disease.
