An MD friend of mine has a question for knowledgeable folks here to answer: WHAT IS THE WHO TEST TESTING since one of the WHO primer sequences in the PCR test for SARS-CoV-2 is found in all human DNA? “CTCCCTTTGTTGTGTTGT” See links https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/nucleotide/NC_000008.11?report=genbank&log$=nuclalign&from=63648346&to=63648363 https://waltersiegrist.ch/Primer.html 

WHO GLOBAL VACCINE TRIAL Following the announcement of the WHO’s first-of-its-kind clinical trial protocol for candidate antiviral agents against SARS-CoV-2, dubbed the SOLIDARITY trial, the WHO issued a plan to conduct a global trial for COVID-19 vaccine candidates. (1 of 2)

Under the proposed plan, vaccine candidates would be evaluated in parallel, across multiple study sites around the world. The study will employ a common control group, and it will be able to add and drop candidate vaccines based on their performance and availability.
