No they didn't.
It's true the Covid test they're retiring can't identify influenza, but it can't identify smallpox either. It identifies SARS CoV-2 only - by design
The test reliably said whether a sample included SARS CoV-2 or not, because that's what it was designed to do.
It never confused the Covid virus with any other and only anti Covid-vaxxers are stupid or dishonest enough to imply it did.
You’re quite the “vaccine” promoter, even in the face of the obvious scam being perpetrated on us. Does it pay well, or do you spout this nonsense for free?
“Detection of viral RNA may not indicate the presence of infectious virus or that 2019-nCoV is the causative agent for clinical symptoms. The performance of this test has not been established for monitoring treatment of 2019-nCoV infection. This test cannot rule out diseases caused by other bacterial or viral pathogens.” — The Centers For Disease Control and Prevention

What I said is true, and we haven’t even discussed the, in my view criminal, manipulation of the cycles used in the PCR tests which vary wildly, depending on what outcomes the scoundrels are seeking.
Even the inventor of the PCR test says it doesn’t do what you say it does.
Since there are some people getting paid by how many responses they get in their support of the narrative, this is the end of this particular exchange to you.
