      Questioning authority, questioning your peers? That can be a great way to prop yourself up, you especially see this in media. If the NYT publishes a completely bogus article, it is wholy in the best interests of CNN or BBC or whoever else to tear them to shreds over it. Same deal in science or education. If some research group publishes a bogus paper and I know how they could've done it better, that's my time to shine! Punching up to authority is effective and happens frequently.

      Depends, the only real way labs make money off these tests is if they are either bought from the lab by a government or if they sell 3rd party test kits. Either of those will probably have a mark up on the price that can make them some profit. But this would be the case regardless of the testing method we use during this pandemic. Whatever method we use is gonna be sold like hot cakes, RT-PCR is just the cheapest, fastest, most effective available right now.

      *Use of hallucinogens*
      Mullis practiced clandestine chemistry throughout his graduate studies, specializing in the synthesis of LSD; according to White, "I knew he was a good chemist because he'd been synthesizing hallucinogenic drugs at Berkeley." He detailed his experiences synthesizing and testing various psychedelic amphetamines and a difficult trip on DET in his autobiography. In a Q&A interview published in the September 1994 issue of California Monthly, Mullis said, "Back in the 1960s and early 1970s I took plenty of LSD. A lot of people were doing that in Berkeley back then. And I found it to be a mind-opening experience. It was certainly much more important than any courses I ever took." During a symposium held for centenarian Albert Hofmann, Hofmann said Mullis had told him that LSD had "helped him develop the polymerase chain reaction that helps amplify specific DNA sequences".

      Probably yes, but many notable scientists at the time were experimenting with it. Me, 72, also took it once or twice 😃

      It’s a machine that reads the glow (fluorescence) of a dye that attaches to the DNA in the nuclei in your cells and someone checks by that glow, if it’s beyond a certain threshold it’s considered you have the virus. Viruses inject their dna into the cells nucleus usually and that’s how they check. Idk how the dye tells whether it’s attached to your own normal dna or the one infused with the virus so I can’t really tell, you can’t really find a clear answer on this on the web so easily either. I think the dye just kinda glows attached to all types of dna whether it’s virus or not idk how it distinguished it from an uninfected type

      In a nutshell, PCR isn't a test at all. It's a process by which viral DNA and RNA can be replicated.
