This is incorrect. The CDC never said that. The CDC replaced the PCR test in July with a more efficient test. The old test could check for flu or for covid but not both at the same time.

“The recall was not because the polymerase chain reaction (PCR) test was inaccurate. It was because they have a different test that can check for both influenza and COVID-19 simultaneously – which is known as the “multiplexed method.””

I don’t know why people keep posting this false information when a simple google search gives the correct information.

People post false information because they do not know any better, do not understand that they are cutting and pasting false information because it fits their narrative, or are intentionally telling lies in order to advance an agenda. My guess is that for this poster it is the former.
