The agency also said that antibody tests shouldn't be used to make important decisions about re-opening.
The Food and Drug Administration has also said that antibody tests are not reliable.

The CDC has released new guidance on antibody tests, warning that they can be wrong half the time and shouldn't be used to inform important policy decisions.
The antibody test, also known as a serologic test, is a blood test that checks the body to see if it has antibodies that can fight COVID-19, and can help people figure out if they had COVID-19 and recovered.
The immune system creates antibodies to fight disease, and often these antibodies remain in the body after recovery, and can be donated to people currently fighting coronavirus.
But this medical test is often inaccurate. Sometimes the test can result in a false positive, wrongly suggesting a patient does have coronavirus-fighting antibodies, or a false negative.
"Serologic test results should not be used to make decisions about grouping persons residing in or being admitted to congregate settings, such as schools, dormitories, or correctional facilities," it says on the CDC website. "Serologic test results should not be used to make decisions about returning persons to the workplace."

why are we listening to these creatures
Wrong half the time?
IOW the test has a little elf inside it who flips a coin and makes a call.
WTF??????????
Wrong 5%
Yet the one thing we CAN RELY ON
Is the negative “news” from “sources” like “BusinessInsider”
Good grief
Our own countrymen dropping economic bombs in their lust for power
The Greatest Generation and before, are spinning in their graves
So in other words, theres no hope, its all over, were all gonna die...well, the last is true, but certainly not of COVID.
So why bother reopening the country, getting our civil rights back, etc? Everybody around you is a walking lethal threat no matter what. Run away, run away; mask, mask, mask...
Pay no attention to the Testing, we will tell you how scared you should be.
Silly experts. Do you actually think I’m listening to you?
think the point is that we are on our own
and we cannot rely on anyone touting science or similar non sense
Huh. Just like the CDC.
[[it says on the CDC website. “Serologic test results should not be used to make decisions about returning persons to the workplace.”]]
And there’s the reason for the ‘results of the tests being inaccurate’ supposedly- - The power control freaks in government don’t want folks being deemed safe to return to work-
How do they know the tests are inaccurate if they have to use supposedly inaccurate tests again just to find out the previous test was inaccurate?
These people are dangerous. I originally said idiots. But, they know what they are doing. . History has shown the usefulness of Antigen tests and decisions have been made based on the results.
No doubt whatsoever that a narrative is hijacking another decision making tool.
Now when the CDC finally gets something RIGHT, THAT will be news worth posting!
Can’t have that denominator going up. Might prove that these lockdowns were useless and uncalled for.
Pretty sure anyone who had corona-virus aka flu will be testing for this stupid thing
bottom line
we are on our own as usual
Yet, people use antigen tests for chicken pox, measles, etc to make decisions. Or are they saying its just this virus. The reactive information (IGM) is the same whether it is for this virus or another. They want people at home. Plain and simple.
Utter deep state lying Bull crap. Antibodies to a known antigen virus are the ONLY test that in the real long run... matters.
These are the very tests these same CDC a@@holes use to verify that there usually WRONG variant annual strain of Influenza vaccine is..... EFFECTIVE! Ha! this year’s?....60% ineffective as PROVEN by their own antibody testing.
Give it a rest..... Center of PEOPLE Control... They “control” not ONE disease. People control disease by their actions-— and God’s grace of our immune system’s preservation of our life. Even against Chi-com bioengineered non-natural (with significant added foreign RNA that is not possible, clinically to exist in nature, but jumped species...un-naturally) SARSCov2-CCP Wuhan Virus.
The market took a big swift dump right after this was announced this morning..or at least when it started making the rounds on twitter. dont know when it really came out
Weaponized branches of the U.S. Gov;t, that have been politicized and exist to debunk a duly elected President...should be ignored. The CDC...needs to keep with what they do best, monitor deviate sexual behaviour and help confused people who aren;t sure what their gender is.
