Did this guy actually get three tests?

One PCR that he failed, then a Western Blot to confirm that positive result. No one will say if it confirmed it or not. Big secret still. Bury this one with Kennedy.

Then tested again and we're told he tested negative. I assume it was another PCR. You would not use a Western Blot to confirm a Neg test, so it is just the main test.

So is this one negative test all everyone is going on, or was there a 3rd PCR test given that he passed? Like the best two of three. Otherwise, you're just rolling 50/50, no?

Anyone know? Rather, anyone willing to talk about it?

Then what really bakes my noodle is, all the talk of the "false positive" test before any more testing. Because that is what it turned out to be. So did he go through this already, test positive once, then test negative and worked? If he knew he had a false positive test, it would only be that if he had another test.

I'll make some calls, see if we can get this info boxed up and stored at Area 51.
