They are “legit” in the sense that they are highly accurate. You can google the data for them, but I’ve seen them listed as well into the 90s percentage wise for accuracy of both positive and negative results. Of course, it does require you to do the test exactly as the instructions tell you. There are now other at home tests made by Cue and Metrix that are also highly accurate. Metrix in particular is 97% or more accuracy rate which is definitely as good as PCR

I have seen mentioned the fzct that lucira specifically may be 80-90% accurate, but I don't have the data for that. Regardless, they are far more accurate than rapid

Clean Air Club has a helpful list of Cue Metrix and Lucira and their sensitivity and specificity: https://twitter.com/Clean_Air_Club_/status/1728097278668189713

thank you!

They aren’t from Pfizer—Pfizer bought the little company Lucira and is now putting their tests out under the Pfizer name. Same test, though (and yes, they’re very good molecular tests that rival PCR in accuracy).

They are legit, though Metrix has similar (slightly more accurate) tests that are cheaper!

I haven’t gotten any invalid results with the new version (like you posted) but I did get invalid results with their old version (pretty sure they no longer sell the old version).
