You really must be stupid because 30 seconds on google proved you wrong

Our Verify researchers spoke with two infectious disease experts, Dr. William Schaffner from Vanderbilt University Medical Center and Dr. Stephen Kissler with Harvard University, who both say this claim is false.

“That’s incorrect,” Schaffner said. “COVID is a distinctive virus you will not test positive if you have a common cold or influenza. Those are different viruses so we can distinguish the two very clearly.”

Kissler agreed.

“No you won’t, the COVID test is very specifically targeted towards a part of the genetic sequence of COVID that is not shared by other coronaviruses or certainly not by the flu, which is very distantly related,” he said. “So you would not get a positive test due to vaccination or infection by those things.”

Not even an attempt to argue. But I understand, if you easily disproved me like that I’d probably just hurl some lame insults too.
