And now we have social media influencers marketing fucking 10 kinds of steroids to children. It's insanity.

Yes, understood, ideally you would have two tests, one with high sensitivity to give some confidence that the disease is there, following by the high specificity test to compound the probability and rule out the false positive. Usually most tests have a trade off between specificity and sensitivity so two tests are needed.

Edit:
Watched the two videos, I love both these YouTubers but haven't seen either video before. The calculating of the Bayes factor as an update to the prior odds was very interesting, helped increase my understanding, thank you.

This is why we use specificity and sensitivity stats for medical tests. If the test has a sensitivity of 97%, you should definitely be worried.
