(This whole thing of blocking people you disagree with is insane. Moving on)
Fact; we do not have a test for sale in the UK but the UK govt have worked with AVCT through acknowledged meetings and the Condor program etc, so whats the problem?
They know how good the test has been and presumably still is, and they knew it was Delta variant effective, and still no EHU, so its something which is nothing to do with the tech or the govt being aware its available.
Its too easy to say its corruption because although it is certainly murky with Handcack and Bethnall, nevertheless we have moved on. Its difficult to argue (with any actual evidence) that AVCT has been deliberately targeted NOT to be included in any govt program.
I can surmise its either such new tech that governing bodies are very wary of it working as effectively as trialed thus far? maybe? They don't want to green light a new tech that when used by the masses fails to live up to the hype. (Pure conjecture)
Or we can't actually mass produce it for technical reasons. I think there is or was circumstantial evidence for this but apparently Medusa don't have a problem, so who knows but I think that is at least possible for the delays (Just guesswork)
Or when mass trialed the results are not as good as originally stated. (no evidence for this that I know of)
Or the govt deliberately does not want an accurate test because if it works that well they may have to fund/subsidise it and testing is, as we have already seen prohibitively expensive.
Or Govt simply has no interest in tests anymore (per-se) as the vaccines to date have dramatically improved outcomes. And part of their strategy is herd immunity, so its not actually helpful to reduce infection too much.
(I think thats why europe is getting hit harder now. They kept infections down previously but sooner or later we are all going to get it, and they seem to be catching up.
Remember the govt's objective is simply to keep the NHS open. Nothing else matters.
So, I think its a mixture of testing expense coupled with (which not all seem to grasp), is that testing does not solve the problem, so herd immunity via normal infection and vaccine protection is ultimately the way out.
(Testing would work if it could eliminate the virus but it can't in any practical sense, or if there were no alternatives to combat the virus.)
On a positive note the mutations tend to lessen in their harmful effects over time as killing the host is counter productive, which is another reason i imagine, mass testing was given a 2-5 year shelf life at the time AS made that comment.
