Many home diagnostic tests are so poorly regulated they can be as unreliable as chance, a new NZ Medical Journal report warns.
The paper highlights rapidly growing use since the pandemic, noting that some over-the-counter Rapid Antigen Tests (RAT tests) — including those for chlamydia, gonorrhoea and herpes — were heavily marketed despite never being verified, with overseas data showing high rates of false positives and false negatives.
One STI test missed between 37% and 88% of infections, and past pregnancy kits have been withdrawn after alarming error rates.
Pathologist Samarina Musaad told state-funded media inaccurate results can cause serious harm, from misinformed pregnancy decisions to increased STI transmission due to false reassurance.
“There are huge concerns from many clinicians that these tests are little more than the flip of a coin,” she said.
Sub-standard tests have even reached clinical settings, while Pharmac can still fund unapproved devices. Regulations Minister David Seymour said Medsafe cannot vet every overseas product but urged consumers to buy from pharmacies, with work underway on a stronger approval process.

I suppose if they are looking for something that does not exist like the fake PCR Tests I suppose they would be deemed as being somewhat unreliable
Covid which is in all influenza
A complete fabrication and fraud from start to finish like Christchurch
PCR tests are orders of magnitude more unreliable than RAT tests. Covid was a scam from the start.
Like I said PCR Tests are looking for something that as such does not exist
Which Kary Mullis inventor of the PCR Test said were never intended for that purpose
Which is why people were being told they had ‘covid’ while being asymptomatic and showing no signs
Unless they had influenza when they got tested
No virus has ever been isolated separated nor identified as a specific stand alone virus
Which is why it was a computer construct model
Because repeat as such does not exist
Then the definition of isolated changed to glove the fake narrative
Spewed out to the public as safe proven effective
Heads need to roll
But I doubt Big Pharma (Pharmakeia) would allow their figureheads to take a hit
Ah the fake PCR test….
Here paranoid public, is a test that will always report positive, to sell you more pharmaceuticals.
It is true that Medsafe cannot vet every overseas product – but they can vet every product in the local market.
Medsafe were fully on board with the covid plethora of lies

Its people like Judy Mikovits who made the ‘covid’ deception and fraud possible
Like Our Own Shadow of the Beast pocket Edition bought and paid for MSM
Who provided a platform from which to launch a fake pandemic
This goes back a long way
The squeaky wheel gets the funding
Like Judeo Christianity all You have to do is make the right noises (501 (C)(3)
In the same vein as Our local home grown experts all of which were peddling a lie
The vaccines the PCR Tests the masks the lockdowns the social distancing
We are one
Trust Us
Unless You hear it from Us
All BS all Lies

One Ob/Gyn nurse is reporting that the STD tests are also inaccurate. She describes bearded clams arriving in the office which look barnacle-encrusted (HPV).
Tongue-gliding on those particular areas is NOT advised!
