(14,918 posts)3. Sorry. I have a yahoo email account and it popped up on the main page.
The NYPost article in the OP did link to the "original story," which was actually a report in a scientific journal and not the WaPo. I was not aware of the WaPo story on the same topic and had not seen this study reported elsewhere on DU. I thought it was useful information and that it would be helpful to the DU community in making choices. I would do the same again.

If I saw the story, I would look for another source, as I did. Turns out the disgraced Post story was days after the fact. They should never be used as a source based on their Hunter Biden slander.

Seems negative tests generate a false sense of security rather easily.
