You keep throwing around all these absolute terms like 'facts' and I'm not sure if you're doing it for dramatic effect, cherry picking, or if you read one article and study and just run with it, but you use that term way too loosely.

Regarding testing positive twice being a false positive:

That level of misinformation is straight dangerous.
Let's do some basic math. Roughly 2M people have it, the virus has an infection cycle of about 3 weeks, R0 is around 1 in most places, and let's assume 80% for herd immunity, even though it's likely higher. At that rate, it'd take 7.6 years to reach herd immunity, so that course of action is pretty dumb considering there are over 200 vaccines being developed that'll be out in a year or less.

Wait you think only 2 million people have had it?

Roughly 2.3 million people have tested positive via PCR test.
Serological testing done around the country (Indiana, Florida, NYC, NY State, Northern and Southern California, Michigan, etc) places actual COVID infections in the 10-30x positive PCR test range depending on specific location.

Even extreme left leaning Forbes published an article recently that said that there is no evidence out there that you can contract the disease twice.
It turns out, despite the positive test, they found that none of them were secreting live, infectious virus. It was a quirk of the rapid tests, which sample for low levels of genetic material, not whole virus. They concluded that the recovered patients had residual genetic fragments that still triggered the tests to turn positive. Those individuals were no longer contagious.
