It's amazing that the CDC is JUST NOW acknowledging that a PCR positive test with a cycle threshold over 28 probably doesn't indicate an active infection. How many lives have been disrupted over a positive test with a Ct over 28? Add contacts of positive tests, and it's a LOT.
CDC set CT threshold for examining post vax “breakthrough“ infections at 28. They set the threshold for counting a case prior to vaccines at 36-40. makes vaccine benefits look better and pre vax pandemic look worse . ie. Biden good, Orange man bad.
