It was this link that I gave you:

He writes:
"Furthermore, studies have shown that the internationally used virus test kits may give a false positive result in some cases. In these cases, the persons may not have contracted the new coronavirus, but presumably one of the many existing human coronaviruses that are part of the annual (and currently ongoing) common cold and flu epidemics."

That study is from 2006, and is about the tests used in the 2003 original SARS-CoV virus in by a laboratory in British Colombia, Canada.
While it's about a related virus to be sure, I don't see indications that it investigated the Chinese (or US CDC)-produced tests being used for SARS-CoV-2 in 2020, which were created in late 2019 at the earliest and test for a virus which was unknown in 2006.
That study could be taken to indicate that the current SARS-CoV-2 tests should be more-aggressively scrutinized than normal, especially for false-positives caused by other coronaviruses (and we should be pushing for this and other kinds of validation against the current SARS-CoV-2 PCR tests), but that study
Are you seriously suggesting that the Covid-19 test kits which are being used in the US and around the world are reliable, even though CDC came out and said their own test kits were flawed? The test kits that were shipped from China were also found to be unreliable. Malaysia have also had the same problem. This has been in so many papers. There is so much info one can find about this on the internet. Do a search for "Corona test kits false positive" and see for yourself.
