Here is a link to the actual study referenced in the blog article:

I scanned the study at that link. It was interesting that they were careful not to say how many of the flawed test kits were distributed or how many had been used before the flaws and errors were discovered. Nor do they say when testers stopped using the bad test kits, how many false positives resulted, how many were incorrectly reported, or what they did to correct any reported results.
Reading this carefully worded report, a person could believe that the errors were immediately detected and no harm was done anywhere.
I don’t believe that for a minute. But the report we have is totally without context. Could be very serious or could be almost nothing at all.
Thank you. 34%. That’s a lot. I’m curious as to how many tests were involved.
