PCR

 

An earlier post discusses this process called PCR. Rather than going through a techie discussion, it will suffice to say that it is like photocopying a DNA strand.

The copying is necessary in order to have enough material to work with.

Each iteration through the process produces twice as much as the previous iteration.

For those in Rio Linda, "iteration" means number of times.

Therefore, when Fauci says 35 times through, it means that they will end up with billions of DNA strands. The FDA says do it 40 times through, which might mean trillions.

The problem is that the process loses accuracy over so many times through the loop, so to speak. Make an analogy here. Say your photocopy is of your favorite uncle. Ha, ha. If you produce a trillion copies of it, will it have the same appearance as the original? Especially once you consider that chemical processes have to take place all along the process. Errors get magnified. Your uncle may look like Joe Biden before its over. Yikes!

There's plenty of reason to doubt that this process actually produces meaningful results. Based upon what Fauci says himself, it isn't reliable.
