This is really interesting. I wonder why this didn't make the news? (Lol).


"Sweden's Public Health Agency said Tuesday it has found thousands of false positive coronavirus test results from Chinese-made tests.


In a statement, the agency said that the PCR kits, which test for coronavirus infection, were made in China by BGI Genomics and that the errors were discovered during routine quality control checks in two laboratories. The tests were unable to distinguish the difference between very low levels of virus infection and a negative result.


According to the agency, the tests were used to conduct at-home tests between March and August. Approximately 3,700 residents received false positive results, the agency said."


Newsweek went on to explain, "According to Reuters, two of BGI Genomics subsidiaries were recently placed on a U.S. economic blacklist by the U.S. Commerce Department. They were accused of human rights violations regarding China's treatment of Uighurs in the northwestern region of Xinjiang. After being placed on the blacklist, the company released a statement denying any allegations of human rights violations."


"BGI Group does not engage in unethical practices and does not provide gene technology for the surveillance of Uighurs. BGI Group does not condone and would never be involved in any human-rights abuses," the statement said, according to Reuters.
