Conspiracy, reality?
"It is believed" by who?

I'm guessing they aren't citing any evidence.

The at-home antigen test isn't perfect and somewhat prone to false negatives, but positives are quite accurate by all accounts. CPR testing demonstrably is not looking for flu virus but for covid, and at the molecular level, so I would say whoever "it is believed" by is full of shit and that this is denialist wishful thinking to even entertain.
