The spring 2020 and the following 2020-2021 flu seasons existed but not on paper. Everyone with a sniffle got bagged as COVID-Positive for political purposes using a test that can’t detect either. The CDC has announced it would like to do something different this coming year.
Now that China is happy and Biden is president (not mutually exclusive circumstances), the Centers for Democrat Control made an announcement. The Crappy PCR test, which has only been allowed under an emergency authorization, is being put out to pasture (sort of). They will drop their request for full authorization with the FDA.
I guess it did its job.
Testing facilities are instructed to make a change.
“The agency announced that after December 31, 2021, it will withdraw the request to the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for Emergency Use Authorization (EUA) of the CDC 2019-Novel Coronavirus (2019-nCoV) Real-Time RT-PCR Diagnostic Panel. The test came out in February 2020 to detect the SARS-CoV-2 (i.e., the coronavirus causing COVID019) only.”
Cleaning up loose ends?
In preparation for this change, CDC recommends clinical laboratories and testing sites that have been using the CDC 2019-nCoV RT-PCR assay select and begin their transition to another FDA-authorized COVID-19 test. CDC encourages laboratories to consider adoption of a multiplexed method that can facilitate detection and differentiation of SARS-CoV-2 and influenza viruses.
What’s that really mean?
Dr. Michael deBoisblanc, Dr. Pete Mazolewski, and Dr. Brian Hopkins explain:
“PCR testing has proven to be seriously flawed when used to track disease prevalence, and the number of false positive tests has contributed to fear, panic and unnecessary quarantine of many. The peer review of the original Corman-Drosten PCR paper points out the serious flaws and conflicts of interest in the original article describing the PCR test (Peter Borger Et al., 11/27/2020).
It means the CDC will suggest other tests created by the same CDC o detect things like COVID, Influenza A and B, and maybe even Trump supporters. At this point, as noted here, none of it seems to matter.
It’s all political, and you can’t trust any of them.
