Based on the false positive and false negative rates of some of the tests out there, he's not wrong.

There were several tests rushed out the door. It's hard to make the right call when you can't trust the results of your test.

Uh great, then he should cite his own test's accuracy rates and the other tests' accuracy rates and let the data bear that out.

Conveniently, he refuses to say how accurate his company's own tests are...

Both my spouse and I had COVID. I say probably because we both showed the expected moderate symptoms and we both did the Roche swab test for COVID. I came back positive. My spouse, with the same symptoms and who sleeps beside me every night, came back negative. Doctor just shrugged his shoulders and said "Yeah, it seems like if you have mild or moderate symptoms, the tests are only about 60% accurate." and just worked on the assumption we both had COVID for his suggested response.

Later on, we did a blood test at local university and we both came back with positive for the antibodies. So yeah Roche needs to address their own tire fire of a test at some point.
