A growing body of evidence now suggests that some rapid tests for the coronavirus may fail in children, letting low-level infections slip by unnoticed. With some schools relying heavily on these tests to remain open safely, health experts say the findings should prompt more in-depth studies of diagnostic tools for the virus among minors.

an NPR investigation has uncovered another side to Co-Diagnostics’ dramatic growth during the pandemic, including potential legal concerns for company leaders, and persistent questions about its tests’ accuracy.

Covid-19 Likely in U.S. in Mid-December 2019, CDC Scientists Report
(Wall Street Journal, 12/1/20) - archived copy at http://archive.is/Y1whn#selection-2493.239-2493.262
Note: Covid-19 antibodies are not 100% proof of exposure. …which is why the title of the Italian paper is “…detection of SARS-CoV-2 antibodies…” and the title of the US is “…identify SARS-CoV-2-reactive antibodies”
Antibodies are generated somewhat randomly, so even someone with no exposure to Covid can have some Covid-reactive antibodies.

FYI
Head of Pfizer Research: Covid Vaccine is Female Sterilization
Excerpt:
Head of Pfizer Research: Covid Vaccine is Female Sterilization
The vaccine contains a spike protein (see image) called syncytin-1, vital for the formation of human placenta in women. If the vaccine works so that we form an immune response AGAINST the spike protein, we are also training the female body to attack syncytin-1, which could lead to infertility in women of an unspecified duration.

That was me. I called him last February and we agreed wiping out the humans would be for the best.

I just don’t understand how you can promote stuff like that. According to that article thousands of women have already been sterilized. That is crazy. From what I can tell the Dr that made that remark was talking about the vaccine sterilizing the virus not women. That interview was done in August. His latests comments are that the vaccine will allow life to return to normal soon. Having 70% of the population sterilized would certainly not be a return to normal.
They also quote Dr. Michael Yeadon demanding all trials to be stopped. On Nov 28th he said that the pandemic is over! No need for vaccines because the pandemic does not exist!!! Tell that to the people overwhelmed dealing with it!
These same people twist reality to claim that something that is very real isn’t. I have a close friend that is a vascular surgeon. The stress and workloads she is dealing with now are certainly not fake or a hoax. It is disgusting to promote such damaging misinformation!
One of the other false narratives being promoted is that the temporary hospitals set up to deal with this are fake. They take a real picuture and flat out lie about it to get people to believe the false narrative that is being promoted. Watch this:
As the coronavirus pandemic grows more dire across the US, Dr. Jacob Keeperman treats patients in a Covid-19 unit run out of a parking garage in Nevada. After Keeperman tweeted a photo of the unit, President Donald Trump called it "fake" and echoed...

You got me wondering about Snopes. Didn’t sound too bad
Snopes (/ˈsnoʊps/), formerly known as the Urban Legends Reference Pages, is a fact-checking website. It has been described[by whom?] as a "well-regarded reference for sorting out myths and rumors" on the Internet. The site has also been seen as a source for both validating and debunking urban legends and similar stories in American popular culture.
In 1994, David and Barbara Mikkelson created an urban folklore web site that would become Snopes.com. Snopes was an early online encyclopedia focu...

You can evaluate a fact checking site by seeing whose toes they’ve stepped on, and who’s pissed off at them.

Fun fact: Wolfgang Wodarg once employed Gert Postel, an imposter who pretended to be a physician (Postel was a postman). Became a politician, maybe because that corresponds better to his talents.
