Acid creates a false positive, once people found this out it was only a matter of time and policy before it became abused for a free vacation.

Prof Andrea Sella of University College London said the discovery was not surprising. “If someone deliberately mucks up the protocol then of course you’ll get a duff result. But I would add that it’s not a ‘false positive’ in the true sense. Because false positives are ones that take place in spite of adherence to the protocol.”

A few paragraphs down....

Jon Deeks, a professor of biostatistics at the University of Birmingham, criticised the practice. “False positives affect not just that child but their family and their bubble at school, so [it is a] pretty selfish thing to do. There are less harmful ways to fake a day off school,” he said.

By pure numbers, sure, but the people dying are the old and vulnerable who were likely to die anyway.

In the UK, if you test positive and die within 4 weeks of that, for any reason, you are marked as having died of covid.

During the height of the panicdemic last year, more or less ANY death with URI symptoms was recorded as a "with COVID" death.

TB, influenza, etc. all magically disappeared last year after the COVID mafia took over their turf.

Also in the UK, If you tested positive and died at anytime within the first 6 months, you were listed as having died of covid. So someone who had a positive test in month 1, and died in month 5, was recorded as a covid death.

The 0 flu cases was in a few countries.
