I want to ask this to Kerry.

How do they misuse PCR to estimate all these supposed free viral RNAs that may or may not

be there?

I think misuse PCR is not quite, I don't think you can misuse PCR.

The results, the interpretation of it, see if you can say, if they could find this virus

in you at all, and with PCR, if you do it well, you can find almost anything in anybody.

It starts making you believe in the sort of Buddhist notion that everything is contained

in everything else, right?

I mean, because if you can amplify one single molecule up to something that you can really

measure, which PCR can do, then there's just very few molecules that you don't have at

least one single one of them in your body, okay?

So that could be thought of as a misuse of it, just to claim that it's meaningful.

It allows you to take a very minuscule amount of anything and make it measurable and then

talk about it in meetings and stuff like it is important.

See, that's not a misuse, that's just sort of a misinterpretation.

It doesn't tell you that you're sick and it doesn't tell you that the thing you ended

up with really was going to hurt you or anything like that.
