An image purporting to show components of a Covid-19 test kit has been shared in multiple posts on Facebook alongside a claim that the “positive” and “negative” control swabs are proof that test results are “fixed” in advance.
The claim is false: the swabs shown in the image are used to maintain quality control, not for patient testing, experts say.
It shows two different SARS-CoV-2 antigen test packages from ACON Laboratories, a US-based medical equipment company.
One package is labelled “Positive Control Swab”, while the other is labelled “Negative Control Swab”.
At the bottom of the image, the superimposed text reads: “Picture taken secretly by a nurse on shift. Name not mentioned for obvious reasons”.
The Facebook post’s caption reads: “When you got tested, did your doctor give you the positive test or negative test kit? Jw The test swab fibers are alive. That’s why they swab your brain. They are placing nanotechnology directly into you.
“Same with the mask. The masks are alive & you breathe those living particles into your body & they go to work on your immune system. I’ve posted several videos exposing the fibres freely crawling around in mask wiggling like worms. You have been tricked into harming yourselves. Stop wearing masks.”
