The cycles are the level of refinement of the test. Trouble is at too many cycles the test will give positive results for almost anything. Kari Mullis, inventor of the test and major Fauci critic before COVID, said the PCR test should not be used for diagnosis precisely because too many cycles makes it meaningless.

Mullis died in October 2019.

PCR is literally used to create copies of genetic material. No matter if you are an animal or a plant, your Genetic material is made up of 4 bases: Adenine, Guanine, Cytosine, and Thymine. They also pair together in only one way. If they don’t they you are being set up for cancer. Adenine ALWAYS pairs with Thymine, Guanine always pairs with Cytosine (A&T together while G&C) together. This tendency is exploited by PCR to be able to back fill any single strand.

This has got to be the dumbest idea on the face of the planet. PCR is literally used for creating material that wasn’t there before. Even in the most controlled environment you can still get stuff in this soup that you don’t want. That’s why you keep the cycles low to keep the noise and unwanted pairs from those contaminants at a minimum. 30+ cycles of exponential growth each cycle? Are you kidding me? This whole thing has been shenanigans from the start.

Cycles are copies of the particular strand of nucleus acid you are testing. It’s an exponential tests so 1 cycle makes 2 copies of the nucleic acid, 2 cycles makes 4 copies, 3 cycles makes 8 copies, 4 cycles makes 16 copies, etc. At 35 - 40 cycles, you are literally making billions of copies of nucleic acid and you are bound to pick up just about anything including fragments of nucleic acid which will give you a false positive. That’s why Kery Mullis (inventor of the PCR Test) stated it should never be used as a clinical diagnostic tool. Interestingly, he just happened to die in 2019 right before the rona hit the market!
