I think we have come to a complication. My understanding of his words and the situation is what I posted. Yes they are talking about shedding the virus but it doesnt change the subject.

You can read much more in depth about why there was a bad cycle #. At the time of creating the rules they didn't have a real copy of the infected person. They simulated it. https://www.fda.gov/media/134922/download

It was a mistake on their part, but the reasoning is irrelevant here. Mistakes are going to happen during a crisis.

The problem is the ongoing pattern of lying.

I genuinely people like Tam and Fauci are trying to the do the right thing but it sets for extreme levels of distrust by lying. The next pandemic may be much worse because we simply lost trust in experts because they lied.

I'm not saying that Dr. Fauci wasn't lying. He was, about masks, about washing hands, about "no evidence" of virus being airborne, about length of lockdown, etc.

I'm just saying that this particular argument, about cycle count and false positives, is not one of those cases.
