"Half of students in a California classroom tested positive for COVID-19 after a teacher came into school while infected with the Indian 'Delta' variant, a new Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) report finds."

"Within one week, 12 of the 24 pupils in the class were confirmed to be infected with the virus - seven of whom sat in the front two rows."

"The positive results came despite the desks being placed six feet apart and the children wearing masks while indoors."

"What's more, all classrooms were equipped with portable high-efficiency particulate (HEPA) air filters, and doors and windows were left open."

CDC Finally Pulling PCR Tests as They Can’t Differentiate Between Covid and the Flu...

CDC finally pulling PCR tests as they can’t differentiate between Covid and the Flu...

“CDC encourages laboratories to consider adoption of a multiplexed method that can facilitate detection and differentiation of SARS-CoV-2 and influenza viruses.”

https://twitter.com/NewsAlternative/status/1418964939776040961

“After December 31, 2021, CDC 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”

Furthermore:

“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.”

You will have to draw your own conclusions...

For some of us the implications of this staggering when it comes to every single PCR test performed on people who were classified as COVID positive yet without the clear differentiation of whether it is / was a flu... So now we know how the flu disappeared (as if we did not already know)

Emergency Use Authorization (EUA) has been a cloak to use faulty testing and untested synthetic gene therapies.

CDC/FDA Confess - They Had No Virus When They Concocted the Test for the Virus

CDC/FDA are confessing there has been a PROBLEM with the PCR test which has been used to detect the virus, starting in February of 2020—-right up to this minute.

In other words, the millions and millions of “COVID cases” based on the PCR test in use are all suspect.

To confirm this, the CDC document links to an FDA release titled, “SARS-CoV-2 Reference Panel Comparative Data.” Here is a killer quote:

“During the early months of the Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic, clinical specimens [of the virus] were not readily available to developers of IVDs [in vitro diagnostics] to detect SARS-CoV-2. Therefore, the FDA authorized IVDs based on available data from contrived samples generated from a range of SARS-CoV-2 material sources (for example, gene specific RNA, synthetic RNA, or whole genome viral RNA) for analytical and clinical performance evaluation. While validation using these contrived specimens provided a measure of confidence in test performance at the beginning of the pandemic, it is not feasible to precisely compare the performance of various tests that used contrived specimens because each test validated performance using samples derived from different gene specific, synthetic, or genomic nucleic acid sources.”

Translation: We, at the CDC, did not have a specimen of the SARS-CoV-2 virus when we concocted the PCR test for SARS-CoV-2. Yes, it’s unbelievable, right? And that’s the test we’ve been using all along. So we CONTRIVED samples of the virus. We fabricated. We lied. We made up [invented] synthetic gene sequences and we SAID these sequences HAD TO BE close to the sequence of SARS-CoV-2, without having the faintest idea of what we were doing, because, again, we didn’t have an actual specimen of the virus. We had no proof THERE WAS something called SARS-CoV-2.

There is no CDC admission as alleged. There is a CDC explanation that their test was designed to only detect SarsCov2 and not any other common respiratory illnesses.

A test that can only detect one type of pathogen logically cannot distinguish between two pathogens. It is a binary yes/no test.

The multi-panel assays that can identify the presence of multiple pathogens have now had Covid added to them, so the CDC is ending their free test and you will have to pay for a commercial one after that.

Sorry science is hard for illiterates fortunately the policy makers don’t listen to illiterates they relay on PHD level or above for policy so the average idiot has no say.


Is that why they support using masks that don’t work?

Thankfully no, as expected the kids are fine. But we now have a great example of why masking kids in school is pointless.

The first thing liars do is accuse those who are telling the truth of lying.

CDC Quietly Revokes RT-PCR Emergency Use Authorization Because They Counted Covid-19 and Influenza Together

By J.D. Rucker • Jul. 25, 2021

Here’s a punch in the gut for a nation that’s already hurting. As it turns out, the so-called “gold standard” testing referenced by so many “doctors” like Anthony Fauci, as well as government officials across the board, has had its Emergency Use Authorization revoked.

The CDC announced, albeit quietly, on Wednesday that the RT-PCR tests used to tell millions of Americans they’re infected with Covid-19 has been unable to accurately differentiate between the various coronaviruses. Of particular note is the inability of these tests to know whether someone is infected with Covid-19 or influenza.
To be clear, this is not a new development. These assays have been known for years to be unable to distinguish between the different types of coronaviruses, but they ran with it anyway. According to the CDC website [emphasis added]:

After December 31, 2021, CDC 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 assay first introduced in February 2020 for detection of SARS-CoV-2 only. CDC is providing this advance notice for clinical laboratories to have adequate time to select and implement one of the many FDA-authorized alternatives.

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. Such assays can facilitate continued testing for both influenza and SARS-CoV-2 and can save both time and resources as we head into influenza season. Laboratories and testing sites should validate and verify their selected assay within their facility before beginning clinical testing.

As bureaucrats are wont to do, they give just enough information for their target audience to take action while omitting any details that explain the root cause. In this case, there are two reasons for this move. The first is very straight-forward. They’re switching fearmongering tactics.
The RT-PCR assays could detect the presence of a coronavirus from a swab in real-time, making it a good indicator of the potential for Covid-19 infection. In a sane world that wasn’t driven by a nefarious agenda, positive results on the RT-PCR tests would have been treated as indicators that someone needed to get a real test, like an antigen test, to determine if they were infected. But this isn’t a sane world and the powers-that-be saw an opportunity to bump up numbers to drive panic. They ran with it, and revoking the EUA means they’re done with that particular type of fearmongering. The RT-PCR assays served their purpose.

The other reason for this move is very concerning. This shift and its timing both indicate the powers-that-be are anticipating a need to differentiate between the various coronaviruses. If it really is the need to differentiate Covid-19 and influenza as they’re claiming, then that jibes with the sudden push to maximize or even mandate flu vaccines within months. If that’s the scenario they have planned, expect a sudden surge in flu cases after a year where they “miraculously” disappeared thanks to RT-PCR tests claiming everything was Covid-19.

If it’s not really flu they’re trying to detect, what is it? What do they know? What do they have planned? Is there another novel coronavirus on its way? Are they expecting Covid-19 variants to mutate into variants that will require different treatments, perhaps different “vaccines”?
If we’ve learned anything in the last year-and-a-half, it’s that we cannot dismiss “conspiracy theories” without asking real questions. I was never a conspiracy theorist in the past just as I was never an anti-vaxxer, but 2020 and 2021 have made me realize things really are as bad as some have been saying. Reality may be worse than the dystopian future they’ve been warning us about for years.

The RT-PCR tests they’ve been touting for 17-months are suddenly being blacklisted by the CDC. They lied from the start and they’re switching to new lies for whatever is coming around the corner. Question everything, folks.

“...because masks do nothing to prevent the spread of covid.”

Yes, and the CDC knows full well they don’t (it hides studies that prove they don’t) and that is one of many reasons I don’t believe anything the CDC says. This article is probably bogus and is designed to promote the vaccine narrative.

Rucker is a hack spinning bullshit for his conspiracy narrative.

RT-PCR tests for other respiratory illness were created almost instantly after the technology was created. The CDC created a cheap one panel test to be distributed for free.

How the hell do you think they know that a lot of the current pediatric illness is actually RSV? They didn’t stick a dozen swabs up the kids’ nose, no, they used one sample and a multi-panel test.

The free tests are being discontinued in favor of the better commercially available ones. Which is what the hacks at the CDC should have done in the first place, contract it out to the commercial labs in the first place. There wouldn’t have been any of this bullshit about covid numbers if they had.

“Coming to school with symptoms of a contagious disease is grounds for termination.”

Exactly.

That’s the problem, not kids not wearing masks.

Worse yet, someone with flu could have been misdiagnosed as having covid, thus no treatment was given, and if they died as a result....

What part of the CDC report is propaganda? It seems like very useful data. It shows that forcing kids to wear masks in school is pointless. It shows that COVID-19 is readily spread even where teachers and students are fully masked almost all of the time.

And for anyone who has read other journal articles and CDC reports showing that vaccinated people have just about the same viral load as unvaccinated people, and therefore are just as likely to spread COVID-19 this particular situation shows that vaccine mandates are pointless.

So go ahead, identify the "propaganda".
