As the discussion has continued on this subject, it occurred to me: Even if he had a "good" test...it still wouldn't have helped.
Syphilis isn't really tested for because it's so rare. Right?
So the likely fact is, that whether he had a forged test or not, he probably had no idea that he had syphilis. I can't see any guy who makes his living in this industry going on set and knowingly giving people syphilis.
It's already ruined his career. So I don't think he did it on purpose. And even if he had not used a forged test it still would have shown him as clean.
Seems to me that all this hand wringing and press conferences is a bit of a waste of time.
Everybody needs to just go to the doctor. Tell your doctor you may have been exposed to syphilis. They will treat you on the spot.
Wait 7 days. Go get tested. Nobody accept any tests prior to Sept. 1 and make sure the test includes syphilis AND a doctors receipt and write up showing treatment for syphilis from more than 7 days prior.
Outbreak stopped dead cold. Problem solved efficiently and quickly.
OR...the FSC could continue to put out press conferences and "moratoriums" and calls for testing (instead of treatment THEN testing) and make us look like a bunch of idiots.
