How does that hypothesis square with this study:

Interesting study. I read most of it and couldn't immediately find any big mistakes. Unfortunately, the study does not compare official government tests.

In addition, the study compares up to Q1 2021 (average would be feb 2021). By then it had 580k confirmed COVID cases on a population of 10 million (5%) and it was in the middle of the first large wave.

Personally, I think the study is not 100% convincing, but important to position within a larger frame of evidence.
