He's totally, utterly wrong.
Wrong on a spectacular level.
We empircally know he is wrong because when schools went back there was a MASSSSSSIVE spike it requested tests (as school children got their start of season colds and worried parents got them tested in the first 2 weeks of school returning).
But there was not a MASSSSSIVE spike in Covid cases.
If Covid numbers were being driven by false positives then there HAD to be a massive spike in cases as testing numbers spiked. There was not. So false positives cannot be the reason.
