The other big thing is that you can raise the sensitivity (cycle threshold) of a PCR test high enough to give a positive result for anything. Some of the cycle thresholds commonly used to test for SARS-CoV-2 were so high the results were meaningless. Those tests were almost guaranteed to give a positive result even of the patient was clean.

Yes. Pretty much all of the early testing was run at levels where the confidence of the test was 0 or pretty close to it.
I could prove you're a green sparkly unicorn with a trumpet on your ass if I ran it that many times.
