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

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?

These test were multi-pathogen capable but the EUA covered covid only...not for detecting anything else.

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.

[semimojo]

They were using it to test for Covid-19 and it was picking up influenza as well.

No, of course it wasn't picking up influenza and saying it was Covid.

Where did you get that idea?

[Adder]

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.

[SaveFerris]

I’m shocked 😳 I tell ya!

Shocked! 😳😳😳😳😳

How could they make this mistake? 🤔🤔

[Rendrag]

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.

No, of course it wasn't picking up influenza and saying it was Covid.

Where did you get that idea?

From the article:

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.

It was supposed to tell you whether you had Covid-19 or not--and only that--and it couldn't do it. It conflated other coronaviruses as Covid-19 and could not distinguish between Covid-19 and influenza. If you were sick with the flu (and only the flu) and took the test, it should register negative for covid, right? But deaths from the flu were supposedly at near-zero levels last year. That tells me the EUA test used for determining whether a patient had Covid-19 or not was inaccurate at best and deliberately misused at worst. JMHO.

That's not true and even this deceptive article doesn't try to claim it.

Are you projecting?

[BradyLS]

Are you gaslighting?

[semimojo]

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!

[Tunehead54]

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.

And now the FDC has issued a CLASS I recall on the Innova self test kits!!!!

Reason for Recall

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.

• False-negative results may lead to delayed diagnosis or inappropriate treatment of SARS-CoV-2, which may cause patient harm including serious illness and death. False-negative results can also lead to further spread of the SARS-CoV-2 virus, including when presumed negative patients are grouped into cohorts in health care, long-term care, and other facilities based on false test results.
• False-positive results could lead to a delay in the correct diagnosis and the initiation of an appropriate treatment for the actual cause of patient illness, which could be another life-threatening disease that is not SARS-CoV-2. False-positive results could also lead to further spread of the SARS-CoV-2 virus when presumed positive patients are grouped into cohorts based on false test results.

Thanks for posting!

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.
