CDC Quietly Revokes RT-PCR Emergency Use Authorization Because They Counted Covid-19 and Influenza Together
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.
Are you freaking kidding me? https://t.co/exEqkFxl4w— Steve Deace (@SteveDeaceShow) July 25, 2021
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.

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.
My wife—a retired nurse—has bought into the government propaganda lock, stock, and barrel. When I asked her why regular influenza cases all but disappeared during covid she says “...it’s because everyone was wearing masks..”. I replied “Why didn’t the masks work on covid-19?”. “Because covid-19 is more infectious.” “...wait, aren’t both viruses?”. She will never believe the government lied to us.
I don’t understand how someone who routinely caught doctors making mistakes—some potentially fatal—now believes all doctors (except those few rebels expressing contrary opinions) are infallible.
and what about the graphene oxide?
I said it only detected Covid. You say it was capable of detecting other things but was only authorized to detect Covid.
You think that's material to the discussion? Was it incapable of differentiating between coronavirus and influenza as the anti-Covid vaxxers claim?
They are not yanking a EUA for a test that singularly, only specifically tested for covid and covid only and was incapable of testing for anything else.
I see. You're resting your lawyerly argument on "incapable" vs "unauthorized". Good for you, counselor.
No, of course it wasn't picking up influenza and saying it was Covid.
Where did you get that idea?
Not inept. Corrupted and co-opted.
They are tools in the service of “Deep State[?]”.
And I wish I could know who that is, exactly.
I’m shocked 😳 I tell ya!
Shocked! 😳😳😳😳😳
How could they make this mistake? 🤔🤔
The CDC is only talking about the test developed by the CDC. There are many PCR Tests still approved with an EUA and they are very accurate. I am a clinical lab scientist that has helped laboratories apply for an EUA and know they were accurate tests. Sensitive yes, but you don’t want to have false negative tests with this kind of disease.
That's not true and even this deceptive article doesn't try to claim it.
Are you projecting?
Are you gaslighting?
No. Just be careful with your sources.
For example, the article says "It conflated other coronaviruses as Covid-19 and could not distinguish between Covid-19 and influenza."
The only reason it couldn't distinguish between them is it wasn't authorized to test for influenza so it wasn't used for that purpose. Not because the test wasn't technically capable.
The idea the test couldn't distinguish between coronavirus and influenza virus is ludicrous.
now we know why zero cases of influenza have occurred ...
EUA for CV19 Vax - For Reference bump!
Strange how they’ll allow continued “public” reliance on the PCR test for masking, shut downs, school closings, etc. etc. til 12/31/2021, I imagine at midnight - 4 more months of hell.
In March 2020 they had HCQ, an ionophore for zinc as is Ivermectin, some vitamin C, Vit. D, a multivitamin to pick up perhaps some trace minerals a body might be low on and 85% +- of 650,000 Americans still alive.
Zinc in our cells prevents the viral replication.
A lot of the 4 million around the world too. So it seems.
As always, follow the money and the NWO masters of our universe. Sigh.
The VAX EUAs were dependent on no other effective available treatment. So the HCQ EUA was yanked almost immediately. A few quick studies, No Zinc, No Vit D. - planned failure.
I doubt President Trump knew anything about it.
Seems criminal to me.
Innova Medical Group is recalling its SARS-CoV-2 Antigen Rapid Qualitative Test. Labeling distributed with certain configurations of the test includes performance claims that did not accurately reflect the performance estimates observed during the clinical studies of the tests. The performance characteristics of the test have not been adequately established, presenting a risk of false results.
There have been 23 recalls of testing equipment/reagents when searching for "sars" and 19 when searching for "covid," just this year alone.
I'm sure there's some overlap (I didn't compare the results), however, that's a significant number of recalls (between 23 and 42) for a product(s) that is widely used.
