PCR Tests Amplification for cycles
Dear Department of Health,
Can you please provide evidence of what the current PCR testing cycles of amplication the Australian Department of Health is using?
Normal cycles are between 25-30 and i have heard from people that the current cycles of testing is conducted at 40 in Australia?? Which would be what is causing our "casedemic"!
If this is the case - it will mean that all tests that were conducted since the pandemic under the higher cycles have all been "false positives", which would mean lockdowns and state of emergencies have been illegal.
As of 31/12/21 the CDC will withdraw the request of the PCR Tests for SARS-CoV-2 Testing due to its inaccuracy in differentiating between influenza and the SARs virus!
Yours faithfully,
Dee Mo

Dear FOI,
If you are currently running the cycles - why would it take so long to issue this information (you have asked for an extension to 1/11/21) . Surely the Department of Health should know the cycles they are using ??
Yours sincerely,
Dee Mo
