Tell us, learned friend, what is the average CT recorded on positive tests today? And what is the false positive rate of those tests? I'll give you a hint - it's less than 30, and about 0.005%. So why, pray tell, is CT such an important attack point against testing?

Bringing up CT is just a smokescreen to try to discredit the idea that there is a pandemic. So please stop.

I’ll respectfully ask for more than a hint instead of blindly taking your word as fact. What I need is a source that backs up the statistics you just dropped. Unless of course you pulled both directly out of your rear end.

Go ahead, I’ll wait.

I know you didn’t just use an image from a Twitter post as a source. This is coming from the guy who starts off his first rebuttal calling me “anti science”. Hopefully you can see the irony.
No, I used an image from a Medrxiv preprint from a world-famous immunology institution. The attribution is listed in the image. There's no easy way to embed images in HN, and that one was available.

Go ahead, keep deflecting. It's obvious you don't have a leg to stand on.
