This is referring to the USA and yes, It is true. The bad antibody tests were allowed by a federal government that did not do due diligence and allowed testing kits to be approved willy nilly. The FDA (or whoever) let any and all produce kits with no over-site. The Texas city of Laredo got bilked for hundreds thousands of dollars for test kits that did nothing. Money down the tubes.
this was antibody test kits not virus infection test kits.
