CDC retiring use of PCR tests on Dec 31, 2021

You should not spread misinformation

Is this what you are looking for?

CDC has announced that it will withdraw the emergency use authorization request for its own COVID-19 diagnostic PCR test after December 2021 because newer PCR testing options now exist which can also simultaneously test patients for influenza

Influenza and covid-19 is completly different viruses every test in use today can tell the difference
the new tests can test for both at the same time while before you had to do two tests

Some huge news was released by the CDC this morning regarding Covid and PCR testing - Lab Alert: Changes to CDC RT-PCR for SARS-CoV-2 Testing

As of Dec 31, 2021 they withdraw the emergency use permission for PCR testing and signal they stop being used at all. Reason: They can't tell the difference between a common flu virus and covid. Dr. Kary Mullis, Nobel Laureate and inventor of the PCR process said several years ago that “the PCR is a process. It does not tell you that you are sick.” It was never meant to be a Covid test.

I guess what finally caused the CDC to abandon use of the test was that 100% of flu patients were being recorded as covid patients(gov data shows 0 cases of flu in 2 years). The implication is huge, the pandemic has not been as severe as reported because it was being over-reported. In fact, it may already be over.

Media doesn't know what to make of the about face just yet but everyone deserves to know about the CDC decision reguarding tests.
Dunno where you got your misinformation, but it's way wrong. @Herman gave the right reason(s). You should verify your info or supply a link - especially with this type of message. From a CDC Alert (in part): "Why is CDC retiring the CDC 2019 Novel Coronavirus (2019-nCoV) Real-Time RT-PCR Diagnostic Panel?


CDC is retiring the CDC 2019 Novel Coronavirus (2019-nCoV) Real-Time RT-PCR Diagnostic Panel because the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has authorized hundreds of other SARS-CoV-2 diagnostic tests, many of which are now higher throughput or can test for more than one illness at a time. At the time CDC deployed the 2019-nCoV Real-Time RT-PCR Diagnostic Panel, there were no other FDA-authorized methods available within the United States."

Full info is here. Oh yeah .... Google is your friend.

I think the point here is that he failed miserably at reading comprehension.

So proud of us.
And we did it ourselves, well I should say our stupid government did by not vaxing the most vulnerable first and putting sick people back into homes for the elderly.

Up is down.

@HRH Liz it works better if you adjust the mask slightly, covering up the eyes and ears is now approved behavior.

I fact checked your opinion and, without any evidence to the contrary, have determined it to be wrong. More mainstream and less independent thought pretty please.

Your joking right or do you live under a rock. How many died in NY and Ca because of sick people going into homes? My spouse has conjunctive heart failure and COPD but because she was 60 years old she didn't get vaxed until stage 4 here in Calif. Grocery people got vaxed before she did all because of our stupid Government. Calif and NY have the highest death rate and threw the elderly under the bus.

Clearly those in power deemed you to be irrelevant. I am truly sorry for the situation you face and still face, they don't care and you should accept it.

Put your mask on and shut up.

That can probably be chalked up to the accuracy of our reporting and the availability of testing. Do you think everyone in India has access to COVID tests? Do you trust Russia and China to report their numbers correctly? Quite frankly though, I'd rather live in the country with the most cases and deaths than be in a quarantine camp like the ones in Australia.
