The Food and Drug Administration announced Wednesday that a healthcare >company has recalled 45,500 COVID-19 rapid tests due to a "high number
of false positive reports."
Pharmaceutical company Celltrion USA announced on Feb. 28 it is
recalling specific lots of the DiaTrust COVID-19 Ag Rapid Test due to
the high number of false-positive reports, an FDA recall webpage read
on Wednesday.
The FDA says that a false-positive test result can lead to a delay in
"the correct diagnosis and treatment for the actual cause of a person's >illness."

There are two kinds of COVID tests -- Rapid (sold in drug stores) and
PCR (used in hospitals). The following is from an expert at the
University of Chicago. I suggest you read the whole piece, but here is
the portion that is relevant to your post.

"Q: How are rapid antigen tests different from PCR tests? Is one
better than another?
Rapid antigen tests, which you can buy in most pharmacies, are great
in specific circumstances and less good in others. Rapid antigen tests
detect COVID-19 when people have a higher amount of virus particles in
their system and are more contagious. But a negative antigen test
doesn’t necessarily mean you aren’t contagious. If someone has
COVID-19, but hasn’t yet reached the test’s threshold of viral
particles, they may still test negative with an antigen test but
positive on a PCR test. That’s why I tell people they should trust a
positive antigen test, but be more skeptical about a negative one."

Pretty clearly I don't believe in a Democrat Covid test scheme to
steal the election, but I grant that you do. So, believing as you do,
should Pence, have behaved any differently when it came time for him
to certify the election?
