evidence: While the court has deemed the test to be unreliable, medical experts have hit back against these claims, stating the judges have acted "irresponsibly" in their ruling. [...] "PCR tests have a specificity and sensitivity greater than 95%. That is, in the overwhelming majority of cases they detect the virus that causes covid-19 ". [...] Now, from reading the article, the judges conclude that "the probability of a person receiving a false positive is 97% or higher". According to the investigation, this only happens if the cycle threshold is higher than 35 "as it happens in most laboratories in the USA and Europe", reads the judgment. This information is considered to be inaccurate by Vasco Barreto, who states that where he works at Cedoc "42% of the positive tests, only 25 or less cycles were needed and there is scientific evidence of the high capacity of the virus to spread from "positive" cases to less than 25 cycles".
