White House buys 100M at-home COVID-19 tests with ‘limited funding’
The Hill ^ | 09/08/2022 | JOSEPH CHOI

Posted on 09/08/2022 1:53:11 PM PDT by ChicagoConservative27

The White House on Thursday said it had purchased 100 million rapid at-home COVID-19 tests with its “limited funding,” as the administration continues to call on Congress to pass more pandemic funds.

The Biden administration said in a press release that the 100 million domestically manufactured tests would be directed into the Strategic National Stockpile. White House officials had no further comment on the tests when reached by The Hill.

They are not stuck on stupid.

They are addicted to power and control and cannot bring themselves to give it up.

They are not dumb. They are evil.

“Limited funding”

LOL...ROFLOL...that’s a first. Those bastards in DC, especially the Dems, think nothing of tossing around trillions like pennies.

Give me a break...”limited funding”

Since it takes time for test manufacturers to perform stability testing, the FDA typically authorizes at-home COVID-19 tests with a shelf-life of about four to six months from the day the test was manufactured, based on initial study results, and it may be extended later as additional data is collected.

Wish out company was in THAT business

Thank you for referencing that article ChicagoConservative27. Please note that the following critique is directed at the article and not at you.

Do these tests actually detect CV19 virus, or whatever the test are claimed to do?

From awhile back...

Or is WH test purchase just another front-end for unconstitutional, unaccountable federal funding for desperate, election year career Democrats and RINOs imo?

A local parade for Memorial Day had a float with riders throwing home covid tests to parade goers. No one wanted them, they spoiled on the ground and got swept up with the trash. Taxpayers funded that.

I thought there was a time limit on the tests-—millions were thrown away within the last 6 months, as they became OUTDATED & INEFFECTIVE-—

HOW COULD ANY go into ‘Strategic Stockpile’ ???

Who exactly is the benefactor of this largesse? My guess is that it is someone connected as a large Dem donor.

Obviously, the funding is not limited enough. 100 million at home tests seems like a lot for the White House to buy. How many people actually call it home? Joke and Jill are elsewhere 40% of the time. Seems like the White House would be stocking up on pudding cups and Depends, if anything.

If one has to run a test to determine one is ill, then one is not ill.
