#COVID19 testing by nasal swab does NOT involve harvesting or sequencing your DNA. Seriously, it doesn't. It's an RT-PCR test that looks for #SARSCoV2 RNA sequences in the cells and mucus collected by nasal swab. This sort of misinformation is harmful.

Similarly, antibody testing for #COVID19 also does NOT involve harvesting or sequencing your DNA. It involves testing your blood for the presence of antibodies against #SARSCoV2. Again, @naomirwolf should stop spreading misinformation.
I probably can't, because it isn't, at least most of the time. 😂😂😂

Now, there's a reasonable debate to be had about the sharing of #COVID19 test results, although it's pretty much standard that companies that do medical tests share the results with the physicians who ordered them and select third parties (e.g., insurance companies paying)...
...HOWEVER, it does not contribute to that potentially reasonable debate to misrepresent it as something it is not, and it is NOT about "sharing" your DNA results with third parties.
