sent another reminder to Eurobio-Scientific (#ALERS) about my questions about the PCR test.

I received an answer this time:

"It is company policy not to communicate with specific investors in order to maintain equal access to information."

"I cannot answer your quite detailed questions."

Uhm, I'm only asking about the products, not about sensitive financial information.

Why not disclose this information?

2/9

I received the official Package Insert fur Flucosyn though.

Eurobio-Scientific is the biggest supplier of France and also a big exporter of PCR tests.

What did I find?

Eurobio (#ALERS) runs the test at 45 cycles, just like Novacyt (@PrimerdesignLtd).

Remember this Oxford paper concludes that at Ct=35, <3% of viral cultures are positive (infectious). That means >97% would be Non-infectious, i.e. False Positives

Imagine going from 35 cycles to 45 cycles with exponential growth.

Also, the Package Insert states the following:

"Presence of Virus", shouldn't this be "Presence of Viral Fragments" since you are only testing for two target genes?

6/9

Also,
"Possible RT-PCR inhibition or problem with extraction that does not prevent the detection of viruses"

So with possible inhibition the test is decided + anyway?

7/9

Any moral past, current of prospective investor should ask these critical questions to the management of PCR companies.

Imagine the damage done on society if these tests are creating way too many False Positives.

8/9

I repeated my questions to the management and I hope you will do too.

If you care about your human rights, freedom, freedom of speech and your fellow human being, you should ask these critical questions.

Also ask politicians and scientists, etc.

9/9

Still no financial interests. Not long, not short.

And never will until all questions are clarified with answers that are morally acceptable.
